Upon finishing her words, Old Mrs. Constance paused for a moment and smacked her lips. “In fact, I had wanted to look for an auspicious day for you to register for marriage.”
John hurriedly interrupted her. “There’s no need for that! Today will do. This is an auspicious day.”
Obviously, John was afraid that Sophia would regret her decision if this dragged on. Seeing this, Matilda and Old Mrs. Constance giggled.
Sophia’s lips curved into a smile while she gazed at John.
When lunch was ready, they took a seat around the table in the dining hall. In an excited tone, John asked Sophia whether she wanted another wedding ceremony. After all, their divorce was made known to everyone, so he wanted a grand wedding to inform the public that they were going to remarry.
Nothing is more important than Sophia now.” Without responding to him, Sophia kept nibbling at her food. In comparison to how excited the others were, she seemed to be impassive. After lunch, John went upstairs to get changed, while Sophia stayed in the living room to watch television. When John was done getting changed, he paced around Sophia, but he didn’t dare to urge her to hurry up. Seeing as Sophia never responded to him, he then talked to his mother and kept mentioning the time. Sophia and the other ladies never saw John like this before. It seemed that he was really anxious. When Sophia was done watching the last episode, she rose from the couch and stretched her shoulders. Without uttering a word, she walked up the stairs. Seeing this, John followed her closely. After getting into the room, Sophia walked up to the wardrobe, whereupon John leaned close to her and said, “I’ve picked out a dress for you. Look at this. Do you like it?” There was a dress on the bed which was chosen by John when he was getting changed. Sophia turned to take a look at the dress. I see… He picked one of my favorite dresses.
