Old Mrs. Constance seemed to be schooling him on behalf of Sophia as she added, “You can’t keep doing this.

Sophia is pregnant now. You can’t leave her alone at home like this. No matter how busy you are at work, I do not

believe that you need to work this late into the night.”

John nodded without explaining what he had been up to last night. To his grandmother, he only said, “I won’t do that

anymore. From now on, I will try to leave work earlier and come home to keep her company.”

Old Mrs. Constance nodded in satisfaction and looked at Sophia. “This fellow has made a promise here. If he breaks

his promise, you can talk to me. I will deal with him for you.”

Sophia instantly knew that Old Mrs. Constance was acting this way on purpose to soothe her anxiety from last night.

She nodded gratefully and said, “Okay, Grandma, I will come to you for help if he breaks his promise. Just don’t

favor him by then.”

Old Mrs. Constance gave her grandson a warning stare. “Don’t worry. I’ve got my walking stick ready. If he neglects

you, I will definitely beat him up.”

John smiled and shook his head at the cute scene without a comment.

The amicable atmosphere made it a lovely lunch for everyone.

Compared to last night, Sophia clearly had a better appetite.

After lunch, she suddenly recalled something and turned to ask John, “By the way, Dylan has a girlfriend now. Do

you know what she looks like?” John frowned for a moment. Meeting Dylan’s girlfriend was out of the question when

he did not even have the time to meet with Dylan over the past two days. Thus, he pursed his lips and replied, “I

heard that Aunt Jennifer went to the company two days ago to have lunch with Dylan’s girlfriend. I only knew about

it through Dad and I didn’t get to meet the girl.” Beside them, Matilda interjected, “Don’t sweat about it. When you

meet your Aunt Jennifer, she will tell you all about it. You don’t even need to ask; she will blurt out everything.” That

sounded about right, Sophia thought. As she chuckled, she said, “Yeah, you’re right.” After lunch, John stayed

around for a bit longer. The four of them chatted for some time before Sophia started to feel drowsy. Then, John

followed her back to their room and lay down beside her like he was about to coax a child to sleep. He even tapped

on her shoulder rhythmically and gradually lulled her to sleep. She was lying on her side and her belly protruded in

an obvious way. At the sight of it, he placed his hand on her belly and caressed it. For now, they still could not feel

any movements of the fetus. I wonder how this little fellow is doing in there? Leaning down, he gave her a kiss on

her forehead before slowly making his way downstairs. Now, Old Mrs. Constance was already on her way to the

Flintstones, so only Matilda was lying on the couch watching TV. She appeared bored out of her mind. When John

was back downstairs, he informed her, “It’s about time for me to leave. I’ll be off now.” She nodded. “Can you be

home on time tonight?” When John heard that, he hesitated for a while and cautiously answered, “I’ll try my best.

” She grunted. “Now that Sophia’s pregnant, you need to give her what she needs. A pregnant woman tends to

overthink. You spend too little time with her and that will make her sad.” John let out a frustrated sigh. “Alright. I got

it.” After the brief chat with Matilda, he promptly left the Constance Residence. When his car went into the highway,

Zack was waiting for him there. Then, John pulled over, and Zack came up to take his place on the driver’s seat.

When they were done switching positions, Zack started the car and continued driving John to his destination. During

the journey, Zack started a conversation. “The police have recorded Husky and Roselia’s statements. Also,

someone went to check on the place Roselia was held yesterday. For now, we have narrowed down our targets to a

few men, but we could not get a hold on the exact situation yet. Anyway, I believe that the police have started to

make their move.” He added, “I talked to Roselia just now. She told me that there’s some inventory hidden in the

shadow bank. Their people probably planned to have Old Mr. Bailey count the inventory during the operations

handover to him. However, after Husky and Roselia’s incident, I wonder if they’d quickly transfer the stuff away

from scrutiny.”
