Although Lady Jennifer used the word ‘advice’ in her explanation, the others instantly knew that Dylan must have
grown tired of his parents’ nagging. After all, they believed Dylan would have avoided the conflict considering his
mild-mannered nature.
Owen came closer and said, “He is angry at me, Mom. He blames me for forcing his hand, so he retaliates by going
against our will since he knows we’re worried about his relationship status the most.” In a fit of rage, Owen went on
complaining without noticing Sophia’s presence. “When Dad made him marry Sophia back then, didn’t he give in as
well, even though we disagreed with that at first? Yet he is blaming us now for ruining his life back then. So, tell us,
Mom! Are we really at fault?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophia blinked in response, telling herself that she shouldn’t be here in the first place. What does this have to do
with me? Why is he dragging me into this? In that instant, John shifted his gaze to Sophia just as Old Mrs. Constance
and Samuel did the same thing.
This is getting ugly. Should I excuse myself? Sophia pursed her lips in response, wondering whether she should look
for an excuse and leave. Nevertheless, John replied, “He made the choice to give it up back then, so what does he
want for creating all this hoo-ha? Does he have no respect for Sophia? She is now his sister-in-law. Don’t tell me he
still can’t get over Sophia?” John’s words hit the nail on the head, making Owen realize that he had accidentally run
his mouth off.
Even though the matter was true, the outcome would have been different if Owen’s family had discussed this
among themselves. After all, things seemed promising for Sophia and John ever since they remarried, and they
were even ready to welcome their first child to the world now. Nonetheless, Owen’s words heavily implied that
Dylan still missed Sophia, which was an embarrassing matter to be known by anyone else outside the Constance
Family.
Lady Jennifer was instantly seen with an awkward look on her face. Upon taking a glimpse at Sophia, she quickly
tried to explain for her son. “No, you’re getting the wrong idea, John. That’s not what your uncle meant to say
” With a glacial look on his face, John refused to hear her explanation. “I don’t care what Uncle Owen meant, but I
want you all to keep in mind that Sophia is Dylan’s sister-in-law! I don’t know what you guys and Dylan are thinking,
but no matter what, keep my wife out of your mess!” Needless to say, Old Mrs. Constance was unhappy as well as
she told them off. “What’s the meaning of all this mess? Sophia married John from the very beginning. Even though
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey were separated from each other at some point, they’re now back together with their first child on the way.
Isn’t that enough to prove that they’re truly in love with each other? Besides, Dylan already has a girlfriend, so your
lack of trust for him is only going to bring more harm than good to everyone else in this family.” Owen quickly said,
“Mom, that’s not what I meant. You guys misunderstood. It wasn’t that Dylan couldn’t forget Sophia at all. He has
always treated Sophia as his own sister-in-law. Instead, he is just mad at us for arranging his matchmaking, blaming
us for interfering with his life. I apologize for my misleading explanation, and I hope I’ve cleared your doubt.” Say
whatever you want. There is no turning back now. Without bothering to hear Owen out, John walked up to Sophia
and seized her hand. “Let’s go. We’re better off minding our own business.”
