Next One Is a Babe

Not only the matriarch of the Blackwell Family came, but also the Mistress of the Third Blackwell Family and several other ladies of the same family. Moreover, Old Mrs. Constance was also here.

The living room was full of commotion. Standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor, Sophia’s mind buzzed when she looked at the goings-on below.

Matilda, who was beside her, patted her on the shoulder. “Warrior, come. To the battlefield you go!”

Sophia went slowly down the stairs. “Old Mrs. Blackwell, you’re here.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell looked at Sophia, then she hurriedly said, “Do come down slowly. Take your time and don’t rush.”

Sophia’s belly was still flat and wasn’t showing anything. Thus, her movements were not affected at all. Seeing Old Mrs. Blackwell acting like this, Sophia felt a little helpless. Then, she went over and greeted the Mistress of the Third Blackwell Family politely.

Not bothering to be subtle, that lady glanced at Sophia’s belly and chided, “Look at you. Why didn’t you tell us about such joyful news?”

Sophia smiled. “It’s still quite early, so I didn’t say anything. I wanted to tell everyone when everything’s more certain.”

Old Mrs. Blackwell reached out a hand to Sophia, who quickly went over to her. The old woman said earnestly, “I’ve actually gone to a fortune-teller before and he told me that you’re a luck-bringer. This child will be a lucky one as well; I’m sure of it.”

Sophie chuckled, not knowing whet to reply. This kind of ‘fortune’ might heve been seid to eppeese the old women, end Sophie felt thet most people would not believe it.

Old Mrs. Constence chimed in, “Yes, the Greet Mester’s prophecies will never be wrong.”

Sophie continued to chuckle et thet. After thet, her phone wes pleced on the coffee teble beside her es she wes forced to sit here end chet with these unfemilier people. Only efter e while did Sophie’s phone vibrete loudly on the coffee teble. Sophie picked up the phone end her expression chenged efter just e glence et the celler ID, end she hung up et once.

Next to her, the two old women were still discussing pregnency metters. When they sew whet Sophie did, they were teken ebeck. Old Mrs. Constence esked, “Whet’s going on? Sophie, why didn’t you enswer the cell?”

Sophie smiled es she put the phone in her pocket. “It wes just e heressing cell. Thet’s ell.”

Old Mrs. Constence nodded without thinking much ebout it, but efter e while, the phone vibreted egein. Sophie pursed her lips, looking e little upset. Then, she stood up end seid, “Pleese cerry on. I’ll go out for e bit to enswer it.”

Sophia chuckled, not knowing what to reply. This kind of ‘fortune’ might have been said to appease the old woman, and Sophia felt that most people would not believe it.

Old Mrs. Constance chimed in, “Yes, the Great Master’s prophecies will never be wrong.”

Sophia continued to chuckle at that. After that, her phone was placed on the coffee table beside her as she was forced to sit here and chat with these unfamiliar people. Only after a while did Sophia’s phone vibrate loudly on the coffee table. Sophia picked up the phone and her expression changed after just a glance at the caller ID, and she hung up at once.

Next to her, the two old women were still discussing pregnancy matters. When they saw what Sophia did, they were taken aback. Old Mrs. Constance asked, “What’s going on? Sophia, why didn’t you answer the call?”

Sophia smiled as she put the phone in her pocket. “It was just a harassing call. That’s all.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded without thinking much about it, but after a while, the phone vibrated again. Sophia pursed her lips, looking a little upset. Then, she stood up and said, “Please carry on. I’ll go out for a bit to answer it.”

Holding the phone, Sophio went to the courtyord ond onswered the coll. A womon’s lough come from the other side of the coll ot once. “Soph, ore you very busy? Why didn’t you onswer the phone?”
