Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1062

Although Lady Jennifer used the word 'advice' in her explanation, the others instantly knew that Dylan must have grown tired of his parents' nagging. After all, they believed Dylan would have avoided the conflict considering his mild-mannered nature.

Owen came closer and said, "He is angry at me, Mom. He blames me for forcing his hand, so he retaliates by going against our will since he knows we're worried about his relationship status the most." In a fit of rage, Owen went on complaining without noticing Sophia's presence. "When Dad made him marry Sophia back then, didn't he give in as well, even though we disagreed with that at first? Yet he is blaming us now for ruining his life back then. So, tell us, Mom! Are we really at fault?"

Sophia blinked in response, telling herself that she shouldn't be here in the first place. What does this have to do with me? Why is he dragging me into this? In that instant, John shifted his gaze to Sophia just as Old Mrs. Constance and Samuel did the same thing.

This is getting ugly. Should I excuse myself? Sophia pursed her lips in response, wondering whether she should look for an excuse and leave. Nevertheless, John replied, "He made the choice to give it up back then, so what does he want for creating all this hoo-ha? Does he have no respect for Sophia? She is now his sister-in-law. Don't tell me he still can't get over Sophia?" John's words hit the nail on the head, making Owen realize that he had accidentally run his mouth off.

Even though the matter was true, the outcome would have been different if Owen's family had discussed this among themselves. After all, things seemed promising for Sophia and John ever since they remarried, and they were even ready to welcome their first child to the world now. Nonetheless, Owen's words heavily implied that Dylan still missed Sophia, which was an embarrassing matter to be known by anyone else outside the Constance Family.

Lady Jennifer was instantly seen with an awkward look on her face. Upon taking a glimpse at Sophia, she quickly tried to explain for her son. "No, you're getting the wrong idea, John. That's not what your uncle meant to say."

With a glacial look on his face, John refused to hear her explanation. "I don't care what Uncle Owen meant, but I want you all to keep in mind that Sophia is Dylan's sister-in-law! I don't know what you guys and Dylan are thinking, but no matter what, keep my wife out of your mess!"

Needless to say, Old Mrs. Constance was unhappy as well as she told them off. "What's the meaning of all this mess? Sophia married John from the very beginning. Even though they were separated from each other at some point, they're now back together with their first child on the way. Isn't that enough to prove that they're truly in love with each other? Besides, Dylan already has a girlfriend, so your lack of trust for him is only going to bring more harm than good to everyone else in this family."

Owen quickly said, "Mom, that's not what I meant. You guys misunderstood. It wasn't that Dylan couldn't forget Sophia at all. He has always treated Sophia as his own sister-in-law. Instead, he is just mad at us for arranging his matchmaking, blaming us for interfering with his life. I apologize for my misleading explanation, and I hope I've cleared your doubt."

Say whatever you want. There is no turning back now. Without bothering to hear Owen out, John walked up to Sophia and seized her hand. "Let's go. We're better off minding our own business."
