Sophia groaned softly and turned over, continuing to sleep. After a few seconds, John placed his palm on her belly and stroked it gently. Actually, he couldn’t feel anything on her flat stomach now. In addition to that, because of her odd sleeping position earlier, her belly was even a little concave. Despite that, it didn’t diminish his curiosity and he kept his hand on her belly, taking in the sensation little by little.
