Chapter 721

Chapter 721They went into the shop and ordered something to drink. Isabelle looked outside and made a
seemingly offhand statement. “Miss Gwendolyn seems to be walking oddly the last time I saw her.”
Matilda chuckled. “Is that so?” she answered with a question.
Isabelle looked at her from the corner of her eye and smiled faintly. They went to have lunch after
having their boba tea, and Isabelle treated her all the way. Matilda let her do what she wanted. When it
was almost time, she made some small talk with Isabelle and hailed a ride home. John was already
there and had lunch when she came home, while Sophia was on a recliner in the yard, looking relaxed.
John was looking in a certain direction in the yard, and when Matilda got out of the car, she heard him
say, “You think it’s here too?”
Sophia didn’t look where John was looking. “Yeah, I think so. You might want to check if any unit was
rented out and who the tenant is.”
John nodded. “Yeah. I think that’s about the angle, but I didn’t manage to look into it closely.”
Matilda went up to them. “What are you two talking about?”
Sophia quickly sat up when she saw Matilda was back. “You’re back.” She gave Matilda a look that
said ‘I need to talk to you alone’.
Matilda knew what she was trying to say. “Yeah, and I’m beat. I’ll be in my room to change.” Thus, she went up first, then Sophia came after her. She stood at Matilda’s room’s doorstep and looked
at Matilda as she changed clothes. “Did you tell her?”
novelbinMatilda looked up at her. “Yes. The moment I said I’m taking you to the hospital in a few days, she kept
asking me about that. I wonder what she’s thinking.” Then, she gave Sophia a look. “And I wonder what
you’re thinking.”
Sophia leaned against the doorframe languidly. “You’ll know when it happens.”
Matilda straightened herself up and tied her hair in a bun. “You and your little schemes. Be careful, will
you? You need to remember that things are different now. Don’t forget that you’re pregnant, so don’t do
anything rash.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know.” Sophia looked at the shopping bags on the bed and went to pick them up. “You
really love shopping. I seem to remember you buying a lot when you shopped with us.”
Matilda glanced at the bag Sophia was holding. “Isabelle paid for it, so technically, she’s the one who
was shopping. That girl was really eager today. Probably the most eager I’ve ever seen.”
Sophia smiled. “That’s great, isn’t it? You were nice to her, so she’s nice to you now.”
Matilda clicked her tongue. “That’s because she wanted something from me. That’s nothing to be
happy about.”
Sophia didn’t make any comments. A while later, John came up and noticed the ladies chatting in the
room. He went up to them. “What are you two talking about? Seems like a secret.” “Nothing,” Matilda replied. “Just talking about Sophia’s checkup.”
The mention of the checkup piqued John’s interest. “I’ll go with you.” He looked at Sophia. “What kind
of checkup will it be?”
Sophia stared at him for a while before answering, “Sure. Can’t keep you out of the loop. This time it’ll
be a blood test and ultrasonography.”
John grinned and came up to caress Sophia’s face. “When will you be going?”
