It seemed that Mrs. Constance did not want to meet Sophia. Hence, she did not look directly at the
latter. As if Mrs. Constance was afraid that people could not see her, she stood with her side slightly
turned toward Isabelle.
On the other hand, Sophia did not mind and thought that it would be even better if Mrs. Constance
would turn her back toward her. It was best to keep herself out of Mrs. Constance’s sight.
After Mrs. Constance washed her hands, she took out the bowls and utensils. She first gave John a
pair of chopsticks before giving another pair to Isabelle. She then asked about the results from John’s
outing; she was unaware of the problems that had occurred between him and Infinity Group.
John pursed his lips as if he was thinking about something and remained silent. It was Old Mrs.
Constance who continued the conversation. “Why are you asking him about work when he had just
returned home?”
Her words stunned Mrs. Constance and made her feel a little awkward. Meanwhile, Sophia kept her
head low while she ate because she was starving. She wasn’t feeling hungry as she was sleeping
throughout the entire plane ride. Now that she was awake, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
John had also eaten two mouthfuls before putting his chopsticks down all of a sudden. “Have you not
taken your gastric medicine yet?”
Sophia raised her head with a blur expression. However, she kept eating and did not bother replying to
him. John glanced at Sophia twice, looking a little helpless. There was a grain of rice sticking on the
corner of her lips, and her face was in a blur, making her look rather cute.
In fact, the only person who had yet to eat was Sophia; throughout their entire journey here, John and
Zack had already eaten on the plane. John then reached out to remove the grain of rice that was on
Sophia’s face before he stood up to walk away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Constance called out to him and asked, “Where are you going?”
Isabelle, who sat by the side, glanced at Sophia for a while; her face remained normal. John excused
himself and walked toward the living room. All their luggages were still at the entrance. John then
opened up Sophia’s luggage and found all her gastric medicine in it. Following that, he carefully picked
out the one that should be taken before meals before returning to the dining room. At that moment, the
confused look on Sophia’s face was gone. She was calm, but John swore that he caught a hint of
satisfaction on her face.
The man then passed the medicine to Sophia and instructed her, “Take your medicine first.”
She agreed, took the medicine over, put it in her mouth, and gulped it down with a mouthful of water.
Old Mrs. Constance looked at Sophia. With a cold tone, she asked, “What happened? Are you not
feeling well?”
Before Sophia could say anything, John opened his mouth to continue, “Her gastric problems are
back.”
Old Mrs. Constance then locked her eyes on Sophia for a while, and her tone became slightly softer.
“Did you have gastric problems before?”
Sophia answered, “Yes. It’s been almost ten years.” In fact, she had been having lots of gastric
problems lately.
Old Mrs. Constance glanced at Sophia again and added, “But I haven’t heard you mention it before.”
Sophia then chuckled. “It’s not a big deal.” Her face was as calm as the sea. It seemed that she had
not made a big deal out of this problem.
Perhaps because the Constance Family was a rich and influential family. Hence, they were slightly
contentious about this. Even when a family member has a slight headache, it would be a big problem
for the whole family. On the other hand, ten years of gastric problems was never a problem for Sophia
at all.
However, this made Old Mrs. Constance feel a little uncomfortable. Occasionally, she would hear Old
Mr. Constance bringing this matter up; he said that Sophia did not have a good life in the past. He even
advised Old Mrs. Constance to treat Sophia better. However, Old Mr. Constance’s body was not feeling
well during that time, so she focused all her strength on taking care of him and did not care about
Sophia at all. In the end, Old Mr. Constance passed away while John went through a divorce. From
then on, Old Mrs. Constance seldom got in touch with Sophia.
Mrs. Constance, however, seemed slightly indifferent. She looked at Sophia in disdain from the corner
of her eyes and snorted heavily. It seemed that almost everyone could hear her from her seat, but no
one spoke a word about it.
Sophia then glanced at Mrs. Constance for a while and imitated her. Naturally, the sound she made
was louder than Mrs. Constance’s. Not only the people who sat around the dining table, but even the
maids who were standing by the entrance could hear it clearly.
Mrs. Constance was stunned and looked at Sophia in disbelief. “What do you mean by that?”
Sophia answered with an innocent-looking face, “My stomach feels uncomfortable.”
Just because her stomach was uncomfortable, would a snort make her stomach feel more
comfortable? Zack almost laughed out loud. What Sophia said sounded like the perfect excuse!
