Next One Is a Babe

Upon finishing her words, Old Mrs. Constance paused for a moment and smacked her lips. “In fact, I had wanted to look for an auspicious day for you to register for marriage.”

John hurriedly interrupted her. “There’s no need for that! Today will do. This is an auspicious day.”

Obviously, John was afraid that Sophia would regret her decision if this dragged on. Seeing this, Matilda and Old Mrs. Constance giggled.

Sophia’s lips curved into a smile while she gazed at John.

When lunch was ready, they took a seat around the table in the dining hall. In an excited tone, John asked Sophia whether she wanted another wedding ceremony. After all, their divorce was made known to everyone, so he wanted a grand wedding to inform the public that they were going to remarry.

However, Sophia wasn’t interested in a grand wedding or whatsoever, therefore she said, “With a baby in my womb now, I feel exhausted all the time, so I don’t want to spend time worrying about a wedding. We have to live our own lives, and we don’t have to display our affection to the public.”

In the past, she would want to show off her love with John to Isabelle, but after all that had happened, she didn’t find it necessary anymore. With a baby in her stomach, she didn’t have to show anyone that she was loved.

Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “I’m glad that Sophia has become more mature now.” When a person becomes mature, their life will be stable as well. I’m sure John and Sophia will be able to spend the rest of their lives peacefully.

Nevertheless, John felt that without a wedding, it was unfair to Sophia. After staring at her for a while, he said, “Alright. I’ll respect your decision. After the child is born, we’ll go on a honeymoon.”

They didn’t have a honeymoon when they got married for the first time. At that time, the idea of a honeymoon never even occurred to him. He thought that he was already kind enough to hold a wedding for her. Thinking back, he was regretful that he maltreated her.

After giving him a grunt, Sophia said, “We’ll see.”

It was apparent to everyone else that Sophia didn’t care what came after their remarriage, so they changed the topic and started talking about John’s work.

Old Mrs. Constance told John to delegate more work to his employees. As Sophia’s belly was growing bigger, she needed him to spend more time with her. In the past, work was John’s top priority, and he rarely cared about Sophia. This time, Old Mrs. Constance hoped that he had learned his lesson.

Understanding what his grandmother was trying to say, John nodded. “When I’m done with the work at hand, I’ll delegate more work to my employees. Nothing is more important than Sophia now.”

Without responding to him, Sophia kept nibbling at her food. In comparison to how excited the others were, she seemed to be impassive.

After lunch, John went upstairs to get changed, while Sophia stayed in the living room to watch television.
