Matilda spent a while calming down before she walked out of her room. When she reached downstairs, Ms. Cannon

told her Sophia had gone upstairs joyfully to sleep. Matilda had to say that Sophia was superhumanly calm. She

didn’t seem to have a care about anything in the world, but that was why Matilda could relax. After that, she asked

Ms. Cannon what she’d be making for dinner before going to the yard, and she remained there until John was back.

John drove into the yard and came out smiling. “Why the long face? If I didn’t know better, I’d say you’re fighting

with Sophia again.”

Hearing this, Matilda let out a laugh. “She’s pregnant. Even if I want to, it’ll be after she goes into labor.”

John came and wrapped his arm around his mother’s shoulder, then they went inside. “Dad asked why I was in a

hurry when I clocked out, so I told him you’re feeling unwell. I think he’ll come over later.”

Matilda looked at him, surprised.

John smiled. “Don’t give me that look. Sometimes it’s okay to make a white lie.”

There was no need to be completely honest, or something precious might slip away. Sometimes, being cunning was

required to grasp the precious things in life.

Matilda sighed. “I can never win, can I?”

Walking over, they sat on the sofa, and John asked about the matter with Mrs. Bailey.

Matilda didn’t know much aside from what she saw. There wasn’t any real evidence of them making a deal, but

Mrs. Bailey in casual wear and meeting someone was already weird enough. That clue was enough for John to

construct many possibilities, so he smiled. “Got it, and you ladies stay out of this. Distract Sophia when she asks

about this. I don’t want her to worry.”

Matilda nodded. “Sure.”

With that said, Ms. Cannon had already prepared and served dinner, so John went upstairs to wake Sophia up, while

Matilda helped set the table up. Later, she saw someone driving into the yard. Matilda looked at the car and quickly

looked away. Admittedly, she was happy.

Subsequently, William came in and said, “Is it dinner time? I’m right on time, then.”

It wasn’t after a while that Matilda came out and smiled at him. “Wash your hands, please. Dinner will be ready in a

minute.”

John came down with Sophia, who was rubbing her eyes, and the sight of William surprised her. “Oh, you’re here,

Dad.”

William was surprised too, then a few moments later, he smiled. “Just passing through.”

John smiled. He knew Sophia was getting used to calling William ‘Dad.’

They went to the dining room, and since everyone was here, it was a merry dinner. John and William talked about

the company, then they moved the topic to the baby. William said he would go through the family tree to decide the

baby’s name.

Sophia didn’t want to say anything, so she kept quiet.

Upon noticing her silence, Matilda interjected, “They aren’t married yet, so Sophia’s going to decide what the child’s

name is. There’s no need for you two to get so worked up about it.”

William was surprised to hear that. “You’re still not going to marry John even when you’re pregnant, Sophia?” He

glanced at John. “Just look at him. He’s already giving it his all.”

John agreed, “Won’t you give me a chance? I have been giving it my all.”

Sophia rolled her eyes at him. “You didn’t give me a chance when I gave it my all.”
