Sophia placed her hand on her chest, visibly relieved. “Mom, you won’t leave
this time, right? Without you here, I feel like I can’t handle it.”
“Alright, from now on, I won’t leave anymore. I have to help you secure your
position as Malcolm’s wife,” Nora said.

“You mentioned last time that Malcolm wants to reconcile with Sherry. What’s
happening?”
When it came to this, Sophia was filled with anger.
“What else could it be? It’s because Sherry is beautiful! After her divorce, I
don’t know if she found a celebrity stylist or something, but she completely
transformed herself. It’s like she’s been reborn. Ever since Malcolm saw her
after her makeover, he’s been distant toward me.”
Nora’s expression softened a bit. “If it’s really just because she’s good–looking,
then there’s no need to worry too much. It’s not surprising that men like to

look at beautiful women.”

“But Mom, you don’t understand. Lately, he’s been acting like he’s under some
sort of spell. I don’t know what Sherry did to him, but he’s completely fixated
on her.”
Nora pondered for a moment and sighed. She earnestly advised Sophia,
‘Don’t be afraid; listen to me. When dealing with men, women should be
gentle yet firm. You can’t directly argue with him because of Sherry. That will
only make him think you have a bad temper and are unreasonable, while he
sees Sherry as gentle and easy to get along with. In the future, you need to
be gentle, considerate, and understanding toward him. Even if he goes to find
Sherry, you should be magnanimous and occasionally speak up for her,
making him see you as a kind and generous girl.”
Sophia didn’t like the sound of it. “I’ve tried pretending before. I pretended for
a while, but recently, I couldn’t control my emotions and temper because of
the pregnancy. I easily get angry.
“In that case, endure a little more. Once the child is born, everything will settle

down, and it won’t be too late to get angry. I can help you deal with Violet, but
capturing Malcolm’s heart will require your own efforts.”
Sophia nodded. “I understand, Mom.”
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer before finally going
downstairs together.
No one made lunch, and in the end, Malcolm said, “Today, it’s rare for Mr.
Wilson and Madam Nora to come to our house. I’ll treat you all and take you
out to eat.”
Nora had no objections, and naturally, David had no objections either. The
group of people drove together to a restaurant not far from Ford’s residence, passing by the Hilton Hotel.
Joseph súddenly said, “Mom, I want to eat here!”
Nora tried to persuade him, “Joseph, be good. Today, your brother–in–law is
treating us, so let’s go with his arrangements.”

“I don’t want to! I want to eat here! It’s so nice here!”

The entire Hilton hotel building was in ancient architectural style, with a
spacious entrance and a large fountain. Uniformed security personnel stood
guard and patrolled around, giving it a grand appearance.
David said, “Since the child wants to eat here, then let’s eat here. What do you
think, Mr. Ford?”
Malcolm was driving. “I’m fine with it. Mr. Wilson, you decide.”
“Then let’s eat here.” David made the final decision.
The group chose a relatively quiet private room and ordered several
signature dishes that were famous here.
While waiting for the food to be served, Joseph couldn’t sit still and started
jumping around on the coffee table in the private room, accidentally
knocking over a vase.
Chapter 86 Encounter
Hearing the noise, a waitress hurriedly came in to clean up. “Sir, this vase is
an antique. This…”
“We’ll compensate; how much?” David said, reaching for his wallet.
The waitress quoted a figure. David took out a card from his wallet and
handed it to her, not at all concerned.

Malcolm watched coldly from the side and suddenly chuckled. “This little kid
is Mr. Wilson and Madam Nora’s son, right? That makes him Sophia’s little
brother?”
“Yes,” David said proudly. “He’s a boy, so it’s natural for him to be active. I plan
to send him to play basketball when he’s a little older. Maybe he’ll become a
famous basketball player in the NBA… What’s his name again?”
Nora reminded him, “James.”
“Yes, yes, James! I think my son has good physical strength and agility.
Maybe he’ll be even better than James in the future. Right, Joseph?”

The answer to him was the sound of a mirror shattering, with fragments

falling to the floor. Joseph picked up the ashtray and threw it directly at the
mirror. The entire wall of the private room was made of mirrors, and with that
throw, the entire wall shattered into pieces.
“Oh my god…” Violet covered her chest and hid behind Malcolm, her face
turning pale.
Sophia was also startled. “Mom, what should we do?”
“Waitress!” David impatiently called out, “Get us another private room!”
The waitress, who had just returned, looked at the mess on the floor and
didn’t know how to react for a moment.
She had been working at the hotel for several years and had never seen a
private room treated like a demolition site.
“What are you standing there for? I said I would compensate for the
damages. Hurry up and get us another private room, quickly!”

The waitress felt apologetic. “I’m sorry, sir. All our private rooms are already
occupied. This is the only one available.”

“Then let them switch with us,” David impatiently said. “We can pay extra.”
The waitress hesitated. “Um…”
“What’s with the hesitation? You should feel honored to serve us. If you dare
to say another word, I’ll call your manager and have you fired on the spot!”
The waitress had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
In another private room at that moment, Sherry was eating slowly and delicately.
Mr. Sniper insisted that the soup here was excellent and wanted to bring her
to try it. The home–cooked meals were still at home, and she felt it was a
waste.
Sniper sat next to her, observing her eating.

Sherry chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, I’ll finish it.”
Mr. Sniper replied, “Starting today, you have to come here for a meal every
morning and evening. It’s beneficial for the baby.”
Sherry was about to advise him against unnecessary spending when there
was a knock on the door.

A waitress with a round face pushed the door open and apologized, “Sir,
madam, I’m sorry, but the adjacent private room has been damaged. All our
other private rooms are fully occupied. Their party has more guests, and there are only two of you. Could you please relinquish the private room? I
have arranged the best spot for you in the lobby, by the window, where you can enjoy the night view outside.”
