Paying no heed to Matilda, Sophia went straight into the dining room, where Ms. Cannon had already prepared
dinner, and she sat right down. “It smells wonderful.”
“You really don’t plan to take a look upstairs?” Matilda asked, joining her in the dining room.
Without lifting her head, Sophia began to dig in and answered, “No, I’ll take a look after dinner.”
In the meantime, John stormed into the master bedroom, but he wasn’t exactly angry. Earlier in his office, he spent
a long time thinking about it and had mentally prepared himself for what Sophia said. Otherwise, he couldn’t find an
explanation as to why someone would spend a huge amount of money just to hire a person to knock her down. It
didn’t make any sense.
Despite that, he was uneasy because he didn’t know when Sophia found out about her pregnancy and why she kept
it from him before this. She didn’t know how to explain the matter to me? Or was it that she didn’t plan to do it at
all? If it was the latter, what did she plan to do with the child?
After staying in the room for a long while, yet Sophia still didn’t come after him, he was left hanging with his temper
flaring as he stood there, until he decided to rummage through the drawers in the closet. There, he found her
checkup report and adrenaline pumped through his veins after a quick glance at it.
Even though he couldn’t understand the report, he could roughly understand the results of the checkup from the
textual explanation. When he was done with the report, he finally let out a deep, long sigh.
Carefully, he kept the report away. Although he couldn’t fully understand it, he knew that it held the first photograph

Even after he sat on the bed for a long time, nobody came upstairs, so he decided to leave the room impatiently.
When he went downstairs, however, the atmosphere was jovial.
Matilda had instructed Ms. Cannon to prepare some fruits and was telling Sophia which kind of fruits would produce
lovable children with large eyes and fair skin, while Sophia listened intently as she had no knowledge about such
issues.
While skinning the grapes for her, Matilda elaborated, “If you take more of this, your child will have eyes as big as
grapes. Look at John’s eyes; it was all due to the grapes I’ve eaten. When I was pregnant, I would eat grapes
whenever possible. Of course, I would also take apples and milk. Listen to me and you won’t go wrong. When your
child is born, your baby boy will be handsome, and pretty if it’s a baby girl.”
With a fork in her hand, Sophia was rather obedient and popped the grapes into her mouth one after another. “It’s
sweet.”
“For sure it is because I spent so much time picking it out. I almost tasted them one by one just to be sure!” Matilda
said and laughed heartily.
Giggling, Sophia said, “You’ve bought so much. I don’t think I can finish it all.”
“Not a problem,” she answered casually. “Give the leftovers to John. Just give it to him if you’ve had enough.”
From the top of the staircase, John peered at the women downstairs who were speaking to each other as if they
had forgotten the past discord between them and were getting along extraordinarily peacefully now. Almost
instantly, the anger in him evaporated at this sight. It seemed like Matilda already knew about this from the
beginning and Sophia wasn’t planning on keeping this from him completely.
As it had been a while since the checkup and Sophia didn’t take any other actions, it appeared that she had
intentions of keeping the child.
Slowly, he went downstairs and Sophia lifted her eyes at him. “Would you like to have dinner? The food is still warm.
You should really try Ms. Cannon’s cooking. It’s really delicious.”
Pacing next to her, he said, “Sophia, don’t you think that you owe me an explanation? Do you think that this matter
is over just like this?”
Sophia shot Matilda a look from the corner of her eyes and the latter blinked a couple of times before bringing out
her previous attitude toward Sophia.
