With Sophia in his arms, John kissed her on the forehead. The two snuggled for a while before heading
downstairs.
It was time for dinner. The two of them saw Matilda wiping her hands and ready to go upstairs to inform
everyone.
Sophia said, “Mom! Hasn’t Grandma come down?” Sophia’s way of addressing Matilda made her jump
in shock.
She smacked her lips with an awkward expression and replied, “You should just call me Madam
Flintstone. That way, I won’t feel any gap between us. If you call me Mom, my heart will jump, and I will
feel as if I have aged.”
Sophia laughed jovially at Matilda’s funny response. “Not only you, I feel weird calling you Mom as well.
Great, Madam Flintstone it is.”
Feeling a little amused by how odd the conversation could go between the ladies, John asked, “Do I
need to call you by your name as well?”
Matilda glared at him. “What for? Don’t you want to be my son? Or you don’t see me as your mother?”
Faced with his mother’s chain of questions, he quickly shut up and regretted his decision to butt in. I
should have listened without interrupting.
Matilda turned to Sophia and said, “Your grandma hasn’t come down yet. I’m going upstairs to notify
her.” Upon saying so, she turned her body slightly to walk around John and Sophia to the second floor.
After stepping down the stairs, Sophia carefully stretched her limbs. “By the way, did Logan contact you
last night?”
John grunted before answering, “Yeah, he gave me some valuable clues. Even though he is all over
the place and acts carelessly, at the crucial moment, he plays an important role.”
At the mention of Logan’s character, Sophia immediately broke into a smile. “I think Logan is at Miss
Hunt’s place now. I can’t explain why, but I feel that those two have something going on.”
John pursed his lips without replying.
To be honest, he had had a discussion with Logan about Lola. Even though she had made a career
switch, she used to be part of the police and had some support behind her. Getting Lola onto their side
to help would be much easier than dealing with the matter themselves.
John and Sophia waited in the dining room. Soon, Matilda returned with Old Mrs. Constance.
The old lady looked as if she had just woken up. With Matilda’s help, she carefully descended the
stairs.
When they were coming down, Sophia overheard them talking about the Flintstones, which reminded
her that Old Mrs. Constance had wanted to pay a visit to the Flintstones.
Indeed, when the two women appeared, Old Mrs. Constance announced, “I will head over to the
Flintstone Residence in the afternoon. Matilda will stay home. Sophia, do you have anything you
crave? I can buy you some when I’m out.”
She’s treating me like a kid!
Not having any cravings, Sophia shook her head. “I don’t particularly crave anything. I’m fine. There are
too many fruits at home, and I’ll have those instead.”
Old Mrs. Constance smiled warmly at her. “We didn’t treat you well in the past. That’s why I wanted to
make it up to you now.”
Grinning, Sophia suggested, “If you want to make it up to me, just have John do it.”
Old Mrs. Constance nodded, and her gaze swept through the locked hands that Sophia and John
placed on the table.
She clicked her tongue and remarked, “From what I see, John is really treating you like a princess now.
Ah, how good it is to be young!”
Not only did John and Sophia not feel shy, but they also tightened their grip on each other’s fingers.
Seeing how lovey-dovey the young couple were, Matilda laughed out loud from the side. “These two
are resembling each other more and more. From their temper to personality, they grow to resemble
each other.”
Sophia started laughing as well. “Well, I have a better temper than John.”
Hearing a comment about himself, John pinched her hand. “Whatever. As long as you’re happy, you
can say anything you want about me.”
The atmosphere at today’s dining table was obviously better than last night’s. The four of them ate and
chatted merrily. During the meal, Old Mrs. Constance did not forget to check with John. “Why didn’t you
come home last night?”
