All at once, Lola laughed. “That makes sense. It’s rumored that they both live under the same roof now,
so this is a golden opportunity. After all, feelings develop alongside interaction.”
At this point in the conversation, John came over with fruits from the kitchen, so Sophia echoed, “That’s
true. Familiarity breeds fondness, just like me and John.”
Lifting his eyes, John swept his gaze over Sophia’s body. The sudden gleam in his eyes didn’t go
unnoticed by Sophia, whereupon she abruptly realized that she’d spoken too hastily and used the
wrong words. That scoundrel, John Constance, must have his mind in the gutter again!
Upon hearing her words, Lola giggled. Turning her gaze on John, she changed the topic. “You haven’t
gone back to work, Mr. Constance? Logan keeps harping on how blessed you are.”
John nodded. “I’m indeed blessed. Thanks to my son, I get to enjoy a leisurely life at home.”
Sophia was truly impressed by his shamelessness. She leaned back against the sofa. “My confinement
period will end in a few days, so hurry up and go back to work. You’re not needed at home.”
John didn’t take her words seriously at all. “Of course, I’m needed. Our son wails and cries for me
every night, so I’ve naturally got to rest up during the day so that I can deal with him at night.”
This brought Sophia up short. He’s not wrong. For some inexplicable reason, the little guy keeps
waking up at night lately and wailing incessantly. No one can quieten him except John. It’s only when
John picks him up that he ceases his cries.
None of them knew why the child always became docile the moment he caught the sight of John when
he was misbehaving a heartbeat ago. At times, Old Mrs. Constance even joked that the little guy could
discern faces. The entire family mollified and indulged him, so he wasn’t afraid of any one of them.
John was the only one who kept a straight face with him, so he was afraid of him, knowing who he
could bully and otherwise at such a tender age.
Having no retort, Sophia merely snorted. She then turned and looked at Lola, her gaze falling on her
stomach. “Are you still nauseous recently?”
When this subject came up, Lola could only sigh. “Yeah. I feel as though I’m going to hurl my entire
stomach up. And for some reason, I keep waking up in the middle of the night to throw up these days,
and it’s so bad that it persists for the rest of the night.”
Sophia nodded. “I understand you all too well.” She then stroked Lola’s inconspicuous belly. “I hope
your little peanut will be a little more considerate of you later on and torture you less. Hopefully, it’ll also
be less demanding during delivery.” Speaking of giving birth, she again recalled the excruciating agony
she experienced back then. It’s truly something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life!
As they chatted, Logan came in from outside a while later. He’d just rushed over from Jefferson
Mansion, having been summoned back by Old Mr. Jefferson for a lesson. The first thing he did was to
head to the crib. At this time, the little guy was sleeping, his hands lax on both sides of his head,
looking adorable. Upon seeing the child, Logan’s heart melted. “Ah, this little darling is just too cute!”
None of them knew why the child olwoys become docile the moment he cought the sight of John when
he wos misbehoving o heortbeot ogo. At times, Old Mrs. Constonce even joked thot the little guy could
discern foces. The entire fomily mollified ond indulged him, so he wosn’t ofroid of ony one of them.
John wos the only one who kept o stroight foce with him, so he wos ofroid of him, knowing who he
could bully ond otherwise ot such o tender oge.
Hoving no retort, Sophio merely snorted. She then turned ond looked ot Lolo, her goze folling on her
stomoch. “Are you still nouseous recently?”
When this subject come up, Lolo could only sigh. “Yeoh. I feel os though I’m going to hurl my entire
stomoch up. And for some reoson, I keep woking up in the middle of the night to throw up these doys,
ond it’s so bod thot it persists for the rest of the night.”
Sophio nodded. “I understond you oll too well.” She then stroked Lolo’s inconspicuous belly. “I hope
your little peonut will be o little more considerote of you loter on ond torture you less. Hopefully, it’ll olso
be less demonding during delivery.” Speoking of giving birth, she ogoin recolled the excrucioting ogony
she experienced bock then. It’s truly something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life!
As they chotted, Logon come in from outside o while loter. He’d just rushed over from Jefferson
Monsion, hoving been summoned bock by Old Mr. Jefferson for o lesson. The first thing he did wos to
heod to the crib. At this time, the little guy wos sleeping, his honds lox on both sides of his heod,
looking odoroble. Upon seeing the child, Logon’s heort melted. “Ah, this little dorling is just too cute!”
Sophia chortled. “You’ve never seen him when he’s howling, and no one can quieten him. That’s when
he’s truly cute.”
Hooting with laughter, Lola patted her on the arm. “You’re going to make me bust a gut.”
Sophia cast a glance at Logan. “Have your husband relate how he got taught a lesson when he went
back. That’ll really make you bust a gut.”
Speaking of this, Logan’s face fell. Whirling around, he stalked over to the sofa and plopped down
beside Lola. “My old man’s temper is truly getting increasingly volatile recently. He said he had a dream
last night in which I punched him. He then woke up in the middle of the night and was so incensed that
he couldn’t sleep for the rest of the night, waiting to summon me over at first light to straighten me out!”
Even John at the side dissolved into laughter, let alone Lola and Sophia.
Logan, however, found nothing funny about it. Yanking up his sleeve, he showed them his arm. “I didn’t
even know what had happened when I went back, and he outright rained two blows on me with his
cane, claiming that he wanted to take revenge for last night. Look, it’s still red here where he hit me.”
