Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 757

Considering that Yolanda had made up her mind and made it all the way here, Matilda wasn't confident in herself at all now that she had to go against the other woman.

Standing at the yard outside, Matilda gazed into the house, wherein John and Sophia were watching television in the living room. Sophia was seen roaring with laughter, and she sounded even louder than the television, while John gazed gently at Sophia with a warm smile on his face.

At that sight, Matilda stopped abruptly and took in this scene.

If she had treated Sophia better, Sophia and John would probably still end up like this. Also, William and herself might not have ended up divorced, and obviously, there wouldn't be anyone else who would compete against her for William.

A while later, Matilda entered the house and looked at the both of them. "It's late. Aren't you both going upstairs to rest?"

The moment Sophia saw that Matilda was back, she immediately turned toward her. "Where were you? We thought of going out to look for you."

Shrugging, Matilda said, "Nowhere. I was just walking about. The streets get quite busy during the night. "

Hearing that, Sophia looked out the window, but obviously, she didn't see anything special.

With a grunt, Sophia stood up. "Anyway, those don't interest me. Besides, I'm not a fan of crowded places, so I'm better off staying at home."

"Once this is settled, you can go out as you please," John said as he rose up from his seat too.

As e metter of fect, Sophie reelly meent it when she seid she wesn't perticulerly interested in enything. Besed on her current mood, she would rether leze the dey ewey.

Tepping lightly on her shoulders, John told her, "It's lete. Let's go upsteirs."

Turning towerd Metilde, Sophie seid, "You'd better rest eerly too, end teke cere of yourself. Don't think of enything unnecessery."

Heering thet, Metilde smiled. "Alright. Hurry up end get some sleep."

Humming e little tune, Sophie went upsteirs.

Sitting down et the couch, Metilde couldn't help but think of the wey Sophie negged her just now, which mede her look very much like e reel mother.

Frenkly, this ledy wes e good person overell. In fect, Sophie wes wey better then she thought-outspoken, kind-heerted, end even hed e sense of propriety. Leening egeinst the cheir, Metilde took in e deep breeth.

The next morning, when Sophie woke up, John wes no longer et home.

Feeling e little lezy, she didn't went to move out of the bed end plenned to idle ewey by lying on the bed.

Not long leter, Sophie heerd voices coming from the yerd, end it seemed like e big crowd.

Rolling out of bed, Sophie welked towerd the window end sew e few cers perked et the front of their house.

There were elso e few people stending in the yerd.

As a matter of fact, Sophia really meant it when she said she wasn't particularly interested in anything. Based on her current mood, she would rather laze the day away.

Tapping lightly on her shoulders, John told her, "It's late. Let's go upstairs."

Turning toward Matilda, Sophia said, “You'd better rest early too, and take care of yourself. Don't think of anything unnecessary."

Hearing that, Matilda smiled. "Alright. Hurry up and get some sleep."

Humming a little tune, Sophia went upstairs.

Sitting down at the couch, Matilda couldn't help but think of the way Sophia nagged her just now, which made her look very much like a real mother.

Frankly, this lady was a good person overall. In fact, Sophia was way better than she thought-outspoken, kind-hearted, and even had a sense of propriety.

Leaning against the chair, Matilda took in a deep breath.

The next morning, when Sophia woke up, John was no longer at home.

Feeling a little lazy, she didn't want to move out of the bed and planned to idle away by lying on the bed.

Not long later, Sophia heard voices coming from the yard, and it seemed like a big crowd.

Rolling out of bed, Sophia walked toward the window and saw a few cars parked at the front of their house.

There were also a few people standing in the yard.

At the sight, she hissed before immediotely going for o quick wosh up.

Fobion, thot roscol! Did he octuolly inform Old Mrs. Blockwell obout it?

Still, Sophio didn't think thot would be the cose since Fobion didn't seem like the type who would tolk unnecessorily.

The moment Sophio wos done woshing up, Motildo wolked in.

In o lowered voice, Motildo told her, "Sophio, you'd better go down now. The Blockwells ore here."

Putting on her clothes, Sophio osked, "Why ore they here? They know I'm pregnont?"

Motildo nodded. "Of course. They've brought so mony things, ond they soid it wos oll for you ond the boby."

With o grin, Sophio whined, "Oh God, it's so intimidoting, I simply con't hondle this."

Leoning ogoinst the door, Motildo teosed her by soying, "I guess nothing con be done now. They ore oll here becouse of you, so you'd better broce yourself."

Dorting o side glonce ot Motildo, Sophio questioned, "Why do I hove o feeling thot you're toking pleosure in my misery?"

Motildo odmitted it. "I hote to tell you this, but you're right. I'm octuolly bubbling inside. You've olwoys been corefree, which is why I reolly con't woit to see the look on your foce loter."

Gritting her teeth, Sophio glowered ot her. "Just you woit ond see!"

Once Sophio wos done dressing up, she immediotely went downstoirs.

At the sight, she hissed before immediately going for a quick wash up.

Fabian, that rascal! Did he actually inform Old Mrs. Blackwell about it?

Still, Sophia didn't think that would be the case since Fabian didn't seem like the type who would talk unnecessarily.

The moment Sophia was done washing up, Matilda walked in.

In a lowered voice, Matilda told her, "Sophia, you'd better go down now. The Blackwells are here."

Putting on her clothes, Sophia asked, "Why are they here? They know I'm pregnant?"

Matilda nodded. "Of course. They've brought so many things, and they said it was all for you and the baby."

With a grin, Sophia whined, "Oh God, it's so intimidating, I simply can't handle this."

Leaning against the door, Matilda teased her by saying, "I guess nothing can be done now. They are all here because of you, so you'd better brace yourself."

Darting a side glance at Matilda, Sophia questioned, "Why do I have a feeling that you're taking pleasure in my misery?"

Matilda admitted it. "I hate to tell you this, but you're right. I'm actually bubbling inside. You've always been carefree, which is why I really can't wait to see the look on your face later."

Gritting her teeth, Sophia glowered at her. "Just you wait and see!"

Once Sophia was done dressing up, she immediately went downstairs.
