Sophia only agreed after a long pause. John knew that she really wanted to join in the fun, but she really shouldn’t
go. Putting his arms around Sophia’s shoulders, he took her into the living room and told the others that he had
something to do, so he would be leaving first.
William, Matilda, and Old Mrs. Constance all knew what he was going to do, so they didn’t probe any further and
only told him to come back as soon as possible. John patted Sophia’s head before turning around and leaving.
Sophia pouted, still looking unhappy. Seeing her unsatisfied look, Matilda beckoned to her. “Come and sit down.”
Going over and sitting next to Matilda, Sophia grumbled to her in a low voice along the lines of John refusing to
bring her out with him. Matilda stroked her back. “If you go over, he’ll have to look after you. You’re now pregnant,
so it’s only right that you go out less.”
Sophia pulled a long face and stopped talking.
Lady Jennifer looked at them both before laughing. “Matilda, your relationship with Sophia has improved by a lot.
I’m really envious. It would be great if I can have such a good relationship with Dylan’s wife in the future too.”
Chuckling, Dylan said nothing. Following that, Matilda looked at Lady Jennifer. “Sure, I believe you will. You’re good-
natured, so it will be easy for you to get along with the younger generation.”
With eyes filled with some kind of emotion, Lady Jennifer looked at Sophia. Sophia was feeling grumpy, so she only
glanced at Lady Jennifer for a brief second before withdrawing her gaze. She didn’t care to wonder about what the
other woman was thinking.

As she was in a bad mood, she went upstairs shortly after. But she couldn’t sleep, so she went to brush her teeth
and then sat on the bed, checking her phone.
It had been a long time since she watched Ian’s talent show. Therefore, she decided to click into it, but after some
thought, she closed the application.
Those who had watched the show commented about how depressed Ian had become. They were all wondering if
his relationship was going downhill. After all, he had markedly mentioned his girlfriend a few times before, but later,
he stopped bringing her up and became dejected. Thus, everyone inevitably guessed that there was really a
problem with his relationship.
But despite Ian’s misery, the number of his fans continued to rise. Some of the fans liked this side of Ian. His
persona of a melancholic and lonesome upper-class man caused many of his fans’ imaginations to run wild.
After reading these comments, Sophia didn’t feel like watching the show anymore.
Ugh… I don’t care whether others like this side of Ian. I definitely don’t like him like this, period!
To her, Ian should be a warm and cheerful guy.
Putting the phone down, she lay on the bed and put her hands on her belly. Her mind was rather blank as she
stared at the ceiling. After a while, a knocking sounded on the door.
It was none other than Matilda.
Matilda came over and sat on the side of Sophia’s bed, saying that she couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t early, yet it wasn’t
late either. Sophia turned her head to look at her. “What can we do about it? I’m also bored.”
Sighing, Matilda suggested, “There are too few of us here. Otherwise, we can play poker.”
At the mention of poker, Sophia remembered Logan. She and Logan hadn’t gotten in touch for a long time. The guy
used to like to play poker with her. But recently, he had disappeared off the face of the earth for some reason.
Sophia slowly sat up. “If you like playing poker so much, you should be able to get along with Logan. When we have
time, we should go to his clubhouse and play together.”
Despite all of Matilda’s changes, her love for poker hadn’t changed at all. She nodded. “Does Logan like playing
poker too? Why didn’t you say so before? We might’ve become friends long ago.”
Sophia laughed. “I’ll call him now. If we have time tomorrow, let’s go over and take a look.”
It would be terribly boring for the two of them to stay in the house every day. Matilda felt awful at the end of the
day. Thus, Sophia picked up her phone and gave Logan a call.
