John and Ms. Cannon looked at each other. Then, Ms. Cannon gave him a look that said, ‘Go upstairs.’ She also
mouthed, ‘I’ll deal with her.’
Bogged down by alcohol, John went back up to take a rest.
Ms. Cannon came up to Sophia. “What’s wrong, Sophia? Fighting with John again? Did he upset you? Tell me what
he did. I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
There was no way Sophia would tell her that. She couldn’t tell anyone about an issue this intimate, so she shook her
head after thinking about it. “It’s fine.”
Ms. Cannon held her hand. “You’re pregnant now, so you shouldn’t hold everything in. Your baby will know what
you’re feeling. It’ll be upset if you are, and that won’t be good for its growth.”
Sophia caressed her belly and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down, but to no avail. All she
wanted to do was kill John. Before this, she thought he was simply brazen, but after what he told her in his stupor,
Sophia thought he was disgustingly shameless.
After John went upstairs, he went to the windowsill and looked outside. Ms. Cannon was talking to her, but Sophia
said nothing.

Sophia this livid. A short while later, Ms. Cannon took Sophia in, and John heaved a sigh of relief. Thus, he went back
to the bed and went to sleep, feeling groggy.
At the same time, Matilda got up and stretched her arms before going down. Then, she saw Sophia on the sofa,
sulking, looking like she wanted to pick a bone with her. She arched her eyebrow and went up to her. “What’s
wrong? Are you trying to pick a bone with me?”
Sophia snorted. “What a son you have.”
Matilda gasped. Oh, so it’s about John? She went up to Sophia. “What happened? Did John upset you?”
Sophia looked up at her and snorted once more.
John only woke up when night had fallen, and the first thing he did was to take a bath. When he came down, the
ladies were nowhere to be found. He searched the first floor and the yard, but they were nowhere to be seen.
“Sophia? Mom? Ms. Cannon?” he called out to them in the living room, but the answer he got was an echo.
He tried to call Sophia, but she didn’t pick it up. Then, he tried to call his mother, but to no avail as well. After his
failed attempts, John went to the kitchen and noticed everything was cold. Obviously, nobody made any dinner, and
he smiled.
Based on how Sophia was treating me, I think they must be trying to teach me a lesson now. Thus, he went back to
the living room and turned on the TV before sitting on the sofa.
The ladies came back late that night. John noticed they were smiling, and they were holding bags and bags of
items. When they came in, Matilda looked at John.
“Oh, you’re awake. You looked like you were sound asleep, so we didn’t wake you up. We already had dinner, so
you’ll have to settle it yourself.” Matilda was wearing a polka dot dress, and it made her look younger. Instead of
tying her hair up in a bun, she had it in a ponytail.
