Sighing, she went on, “Furthermore, someone is obviously doing nasty things in the dark and wants to harm you. Do you have any idea what would happen if that person catches up with you if you leave this place? Just the thought of it is terrifying.”

Tightening her lips into a thin line, Sophia did think about this point as well yesterday. The main issue was, she didn’t know who was after her, and she couldn’t be sure if she wouldn't be followed once she left here. She didn’t dare to risk it, and neither could she bear the consequences of this risk.

Speechless, she lowered her gaze, and Matilda knew that her words had reached her.

Hence, Matilda softened her tone, saying, “Sophia, I think John has the right to know about your pregnancy. It’s not fair that you’re keeping this from him.” Without waiting for a reply, she continued, “It’s true that John didn’t care about you in the past, and we all know that this made your heart uncomfortable and flustered. You can get back at him in other ways for it, but you really shouldn’t do that with this issue. Think about it by placing yourself into his perspective, how would you feel if you’re John and only found out about this later?”

“Give me some time to think about it,” Sophia answered hurriedly.


Smiling, Matilda agreed, “Alright, think about it carefully. By the way, you don’t have to make a trip to the shop because I made a stop there on my way here and already told Robin that you’ll be resting at home today.”

As her heart was in confusion, she didn’t have any thoughts of going to her shop at all, so she nodded. “Alright, I got it.”

Unsatisfied with the placement of the furniture in the place, Matilda instructed the workers to change the layout bit by bit while Sophia went to take a seat in the garden and couldn't be bothered with what was going on.

Matilda had a point; John did hurt her in some aspects, but he treated her rather well in some other ways, too. She couldn’t just deny his contributions because of the pain he inflicted upon her and keep him in the dark about such a serious matter.

Wiping her face, Sophia struggled within herself on how she should open up this topic to John.

As for Matilda, after straining herself for half the day, the floors on both levels were covered in non-slip carpets. Just like that, without even the need for Sophia to say anything, John would have figured out by himself what was going on. This was simply too obvious to ignore.

Tonight, he came home a little later and only returned when the food was ready in the kitchen and would be served soon.
