Next One Is a Babe

Sophia only agreed after a long pause. John knew that she really wanted to join in the fun, but she really shouldn’t go. Putting his arms around Sophia’s shoulders, he took her into the living room and told the others that he had something to do, so he would be leaving first.

William, Matilda, and Old Mrs. Constance all knew what he was going to do, so they didn’t probe any further and only told him to come back as soon as possible. John patted Sophia’s head before turning around and leaving.

Sophia pouted, still looking unhappy. Seeing her unsatisfied look, Matilda beckoned to her. “Come and sit down.”

Going over and sitting next to Matilda, Sophia grumbled to her in a low voice along the lines of John refusing to bring her out with him. Matilda stroked her back. “If you go over, he’ll have to look after you. You’re now pregnant, so it’s only right that you go out less.”

Sophia pulled a long face and stopped talking.

Lady Jennifer looked at them both before laughing. “Matilda, your relationship with Sophia has improved by a lot. I’m really envious. It would be great if I can have such a good relationship with Dylan’s wife in the future too.”

Chuckling, Dylan said nothing. Following that, Matilda looked at Lady Jennifer. “Sure, I believe you will. You’re good-natured, so it will be easy for you to get along with the younger generation.”

With eyes filled with some kind of emotion, Lady Jennifer looked at Sophia. Sophia was feeling grumpy, so she only glanced at Lady Jennifer for a brief second before withdrawing her gaze. She didn’t care to wonder about what the other woman was thinking.

As she was in a bad mood, she went upstairs shortly after. But she couldn’t sleep, so she went to brush her teeth and then sat on the bed, checking her phone.

It had been a long time since she watched Ian’s talent show. Therefore, she decided to click into it, but after some thought, she closed the application.

Those who had watched the show commented about how depressed Ian had become. They were all wondering if his relationship was going downhill. After all, he had markedly mentioned his girlfriend a few times before, but later, he stopped bringing her up and became dejected. Thus, everyone inevitably guessed that there was really a problem with his relationship.

But despite Ian’s misery, the number of his fans continued to rise. Some of the fans liked this side of Ian. His persona of a melancholic and lonesome upper-class man caused many of his fans’ imaginations to run wild.

After reading these comments, Sophia didn’t feel like watching the show anymore.

Ugh… I don’t care whether others like this side of Ian. I definitely don’t like him like this, period!

To her, Ian should be a warm and cheerful guy.

Putting the phone down, she lay on the bed and put her hands on her belly. Her mind was rather blank as she stared at the ceiling. After a while, a knocking sounded on the door.

It was none other than Matilda.
