“Nothing?” questioned Belinda, with a smirk on her face. “When Yolanda was in the hospital, you’ve been visiting

the hospital so often. William, as if I’ll believe it when you tell me that there’s nothing going on.”

Frustrated, William didn’t know what to say, so he kept quiet throughout the journey when he sent Belinda home.

Bursting with happiness, Belinda didn’t go for a rest, but instead, she was discussing with the servants to work out a

to-buy-list for Sophia.

Seeing that, William couldn’t help but smile, and after excusing himself, he went upstairs.

As soon as he had reached his room, his phone rang—it was John.

Picking up the call, William asked, “John? Is there anything?”

Letting out a sigh, John said, “Nothing in particular. I couldn’t quite sleep, so I thought of dropping you a call.”

In his throaty voice, he continued, “Dad, do you intend to reconcile with Mom?”

Dumbstruck for a moment, William asked, “Why do you ask all of a sudden?”

Chuckling, John spilled, “Well, when we had dinner today, I saw you stealing quick glances at Mom a few times, so I

thought you were thinking of… you know.”

Feeling awkward, William reckoned he wasn’t exactly stealing glances at Matilda. Frankly, he just felt that Matilda

had changed so much, so he couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at her.

Was that considered as stealing glances?

With an awkward cough, William explained, “I wasn’t stealing glances at your mom, and I have no other intentions.

Don’t misunderstand.”

“I see. By the way, how are things with you and Yolanda?”

Frowning, William clearly didn’t expect John would ask too.

With a stern voice, William protested firmly, “There’s nothing going on between Yolanda and me, so there’s nothing

much to talk about. I hope all of you will take my word for it.”

Guffawing, John said, “Actually, if there’s really something going on between you two, no one will be against it.

About you and Mom, I guess both of you are not meant to be?”

Upon thinking of Matilda’s frosty manner toward him today, William thought perhaps John was right about them—

they weren’t meant to be.

Unwilling to continue with this topic, William asked about Sophia.

In a casual manner, John said everything was going well between him and Sophia. Of course, he would deliberately

leave out the part about him being driven out of the room by Sophia.

That time, when a random thought struck her, she said the sight of him pissed her off, which led to him being

chased out of the room.

Confused, John felt he was at his wit’s end when it came to understanding Sophia.

In the past, he found it difficult to keep her under control. With her being pregnant now, she became the boss lady

of the household.

Pondering for a second, William asked, “You decided to be with her because of the child?”

Hearing that, John laughed aloud. “Dad, it has nothing to do with the child. I want to be with her because I like her. I

know my heart’s desires.”

As expected, Sophia was woken up during the middle of the night.

Pressing her lips together, she grumbled sleepily, “B*stard! You did it on purpose. You just have to disturb my sleep

all the time.”

Leaning forward, John planted a kiss on her lips. “Sorry, you get on with your sleep.”

Not knowing how to deal with the shameless side of him, Sophia turned her back against him and continued with

her sleep.

Drawing himself nearer toward her, John held her closely within his arms.

Back then, he could still hit the booze and do whatever he wanted with her, but now, he had to get a hold of himself

and behave.

Gently caressing her belly, John shut his eyes.

While he was fast asleep, his phone that was left at the bedside table vibrated.

At first, he planned to ignore it, but later, his phone vibrated again.

Thinking about it, he turned around to reach out for his phone.

Initially, he figured it was his subordinates that sent him a WhatsApp message, but much to his surprise, it was

Isabelle. The first message was removed, but the second message was her apologizing for sending the wrong
