Agreeing with John’s statement, Isabelle nodded. “Yeah, I think so too. So, I came to ask my dad’s opinion this time
as well. I think if they really have no feelings for each other anymore, it’s best to get a divorce. Although my mom is
not that young anymore, she still has quite some time left, so she can totally get together with someone better.”
Matilda laughed next to her. “You’re quite clear-minded, aren’t you? Nowadays, there are not many daughters who
are as sensible as you.”
Isabelle laughed too. “I’ll take it as a compliment then.”
Nodding, Matilda replied, “I’m indeed complimenting you.”
Isabelle didn’t stay in Sophia’s ward for too long. After all, she still had to see Elder Mr. Bailey and Old Mr. Bailey.
John sent her off. After Isabelle left, Matilda went to Sophia’s side. “What did you two talk about just now?” Sophia
found a comfortable position and leaned back. “What? Are you afraid that I will say nasty things to her, or are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafraid that she came here to agitate me?”
Matilda rolled her eyes at her. “Look at her. When was she ever a match for you? She had always gotten bulldozed
by you. It’s just that I saw she came to see you with a gift, so it wouldn’t be nice for you to snub her.”
Let out a long sigh, Sophia uttered, “It seems that you still like her.
” Matilda retorted, “You speak so well that I don’t think you’ve ever suffered under her at all.” At that moment, the
baby gurgled slightly next to them. He was probably feeling a little uncomfortable. Therefore, Matilda brought him
to Sophia and lifted the quilt, allowing him to move his arms and legs. The baby’s small hands and feet were not as
big as Sophia’s palms, and they looked pink and tender. Sophia gently held the child’s foot, her heart melting into a
puddle all at once. Waving his little arms around, the baby twisted his head, turned to Sophia, and looked at her
with large, blinking eyes. Seeing how adorable her son is, Sophia couldn’t hold back and leaned in to kiss him gently.
The little baby opened his mouth and gurgled twice. Matilda looked at Sophia. “How does it feel? Do you feel that all
the suffering before is worth it?” Sophia nodded. “I’ve never felt like this before. I can’t explain it clearly, but I
especially want time to stop at this moment.” Matilda stretched out a finger and touched the baby’s fingers. The
baby naturally curled his fingers around her finger. “This is maternal love. You’ll find that this feeling will become
more and more noticeable as the child grows up.” After saying this, Matilda paused and added, “You know what? I
got up last night and found John sitting next to the crib, just staring at the baby. You have no idea what the scene
looked like. Let me tell you. It’s not just you who has changed. John has also changed a lot.
” Sophia did feel that too. Many times, when she had fallen asleep, John would also stare at her from the side. He
didn’t speak nor move but would just stare at her with a gentle gaze and a smile between his eyebrows. John used
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto treat her well, but he never did that. So, with this child, both of them were slowly changing. Because it was a
natural birth, Sophia did not stay in the hospital for too many days and was discharged after four days. The
confinement room at home had been prepared in advance, and the postnatal caregiver had been hired. The
nursery had also been set up, and all the preparations were completed. After coming out of the hospital, John held
the baby while Matilda helped Sophia button her coat. Sophia took the opportunity to turn her head and look at
Matilda, then whispered to her, “Did Ian come over?” She had heard from Lola that Ian was there during Logan’s
wedding. He even mentioned during the wedding that he would find some time to visit her in the hospital. But
Sophia had never seen Ian, and so she felt a little strange. When Matilda heard Sophia asking this question, she
glanced at John first, and her voice was even softer than Sophia’s as she replied, “He came, but you were asleep
then.” Sophia was taken aback, as she really didn’t know that. “Then why didn’t you guys wake me?” Matilda
smiled. “Look at the one holding the baby over there. He was there at the time. Do you think he’ll let us wake you?”
Raising her eyes, Sophia glanced at John, who was walking in front of them, then pursed her mouth without saying
a word. .
