The other person picked up quickly, and John told him, “Help me check the call log of a number.”
He reported Sophia’s number to the other party, who immediately agreed to the job.
Hanging up the phone, John stood there for a while before going downstairs. He was better at putting on an act
than Sophia. Upon reaching the top of the stairs, a smile was already on his face.
The atmosphere downstairs was already pretty lively. When John came down, it became even better. After all, he
had a good sense of humor and was great at livening up the place too.
Old Mrs. Blackwell sighed. “Look at John. His people skills have improved by leaps and bounds.”
Old Mrs. Constance nodded. “Yeah. As you can see, he’s now able to sit down and talk with us. In the past, he would
never do this.”
John laughed. “Really? But I don’t think I’m any different from before. I’m just the same.” Then, he put an arm
around Matilda. “If we’re talking about big changes, we should be talking about my mother. I’m sure you’ve noticed
how much she has changed.”
The two old women turned to gaze at Matilda. How could they not have noticed Matilda’s change? When Old Mrs.
Constance came to visit the last time, she had immediately noticed it.
On this day, Old Mrs. Blackwell was also very surprised by this. After all, she knew the Matilda from before when she
visited the Constance Residence, and the younger woman was clearly not like how she was now.

For some reason, Matilda felt a little bit embarrassed, so she only smiled and did not speak.
John continued to say, “Two days ago, my father came over for lunch after work. He also told me that he thought
my mother has changed a lot and is completely different from her past self.”
Matilda looked at John, unsure whether John made it up or if William really said that.
Taken aback, Old Mrs. Constance said, “Oh, so your father came here the other day when he returned home late.
When I asked him, he said that he had eaten lunch. I had wondered where he had his lunch since he wasn’t with a
client.”
John replied, “My mother felt a little unwell for the past two days, so my dad came to have a look because he was
worried.”
When he said this, everyone started imagining what it could possibly mean.
Matilda pursed her mouth, looking rather uncomfortable. However, John was completely expressionless as he spoke
in a righteous and confident manner.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Matilda. “I see.”
John laughed. “I think that before there’s any news from Sophia and I, my parents will get back together first. In
fact, that would be perfect. When the baby is born, we will become a truly happy family.”
Old Mrs. Constance smiled. “You’re right. This will triple the joy that is to come!”
From her attitude, nobody really knew whether she truly supported Matilda and William getting back together or
not. Still, Matilda felt a little relieved at that.
On the other end, Sophia was still lying on the bed, but actually, she hadn’t fallen asleep at all. Feeling a little
irritable, she was upset that she couldn’t fall asleep, yet she didn’t feel like being awake.
As she lay in bed, her phone beeped on the bedside cabinet. With her eyes closed, Sophia fumbled for her phone
and then looked at the notification on it.
The message was sent by the woman from before. It was some sort of threat, telling Sophia to not regret her
actions and saying that she could destroy everything that Sophia had right now.
Sophia almost laughed out loud. What do I have now? Money? How is she gonna take my money though? It’s all
under my name, so how is she gonna make my money disappear?
Sophia deleted the message and then blocked the number. Then, she lay back down and put her hands on her belly.
As she hadn’t yet given birth to the child, she didn’t feel much affection for the unborn child yet.
