The Returning Ex

Chapter 298

Old Mrs. Constance said to Sophia in a kindly tone, “I asked the kitchen to specially make this for you. It’s good for women.”

Pausing for a while with the spoon in her hand, she looked up at Old Mrs. Constance. The old woman was rather good at acting as she added, “Drink it. I heard that many women drink this during their confinement.” Truly invested in her acting, she turned her head to look at John. “You two should take good care of your body now for future’s sake.”

Speechless, John and Sophia looked at each other. John’s expression only stiffened for a few seconds before it broke into a smile. “Grandma, you’re very thoughtful.”

Staring at John, Old Mrs. Constance said, “It’s been almost a year since you two got married. There are some things that you two should start planning.”

Everyone present understood what she was hinting at. Sophia’s expression was a little stiff as she said, “Grandma, about this matter…”

“Actually, Sophia and I have been discussing this matter recently,” John interrupted her. “But this is really up to fate, and we can’t force things to happen quickly. In our opinion, it would be great if we’re successful, but we’re not in a hurry either if we’re not.”

Upon hearing that, Mrs. Constance stealthily signaled at John with her eyes. What nonsense is that? They’re practically divorced. It would be total chaos if they have a child now! Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

William looked a little surprised, but his thoughts were unlike Mrs. Constance’s. Withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his head and continued to have his meal. After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Personally, I really want to be a grandfather. I’m sure I would be very happy with a little one by my side.”

Sophia held her spoon, wondering what expression to put on her face. Should I smile, or should I act shy?

Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia again. “Drink it. It tastes good, and it’s not greasy.”

Smilingly, Sophia lowered her head and took two sips. The taste was quite good. Clearly, it was well- prepared.

His mouth curved up uncontrollably, John turned his head and looked at Sophia for a moment. Although it was rather inappropriate timing, for some reason, he was imagining a tiny version of Sophia eating in the future.

On the other hand, Isabelle remained silent as she continued eating with her head lowered. Mrs. Constance could not help but glance at her from time to time. She was truly pleased with Isabelle’s temperament. Sigh, she’s still so composed during such a situation. This is the perfect woman for John!

Dylan, who was sitting opposite Isabelle, looked up at her and chuckled. He waited for a while before asking, “Miss Bailey, are you settling in well at the company?”

Taken aback, Isabelle could not give an immediate reply; she didn’t expect that Dylan would suddenly ask her a question. After a momentary hesitation, she laughed and replied, “Yes. I did an internship at the company before, so I already know how many things work. So, I’m settling in pretty quickly.”

Mrs. Constance quickly piped up, “Yes, Belle is pretty smart. In the future, she will definitely be able to make a difference to the company. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry such a good girl. It’s a pity that our family…”

Old Mrs. Constance glared at her coldly and interrupted, “Don’t talk with your mouth full.”

Mrs. Constance stopped talking abruptly. Although Old Mrs. Constance had rebuked her quite a few times recently, she had always done so in private. Because there were currently so many people around the dining table, it was terribly humiliating to be chastised by Old Mrs. Constance in such a direct manner.

In fact, William also felt that Mrs. Constance had gone overboard. This was no different from her forcing Sophia to bring Logan over the other day. Thus, he frowned and chided, “Why do you worry about who Miss Bailey will marry in the future? You should just worry about yourself now.”
