"Nanny Garcia, what did you say to Sophie Smith?" Asher Land put down his phone and fork, looking seriously at Nanny Garcia.
"I..." Nanny Garcia was at a loss for words, rubbing her hands together, unsure of what to say.
"Don’t be so stern. Nanny Garcia is just concerned about you." Sophie Smith sat across from him, acting as if nothing had happened, leisurely eating breakfast.
Asher Land had no choice but to drop the subject. Nanny Garcia, seeing his expression soften a bit, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Smith, just let me know what flavors you would like to eat, and I’ll have the kitchen prepare it. But remember to watch your diet, now that you’re pregnant. There are many things you shouldn’t eat."
Sophie was a bit surprised. Had Asher Land already told Nanny Garcia the news? Would the entire Land Family know soon?
"The young master kept asking me about precautions for pregnant women just now. He’s really attentive." Nanny Garcia smiled kindly. For some reason, she was happy about Sophie’s pregnancy too. Soon there would be a little master, or maybe even a little princess. But regardless, seeing her young master slowly letting down his guard and starting to build his own family made her, as his longtime servant, feel gratified. At least he was shedding the loneliness that accompanied him for over twenty years.
It’s just that no one knew how long this happiness would last...
"Hey, Sophie Smith is here, stop gossiping!" someone kindly reminded. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Immediately, the previously heated discussion seemed to be doused with cold water, turning sparse and quiet.
A few unnamed minor actors had been gathered together, discussing animatedly.
The main topic, of course, was Sophie Smith, the queen of gossip.
Sophie walked up to Wyatt Sterling, flashing a cheerful smile.
"Senior Brother, I’m really sorry about last time..."
"Let’s not talk about last time." He smiled, but there was a noticeable trace of helplessness on his face. "I’m already content that you could rejoin the filming of this drama."
"The first time we worked together, we played opposite roles. In our second collaboration, I couldn’t imagine such a dramatic transformation in my identity."
"Congratulations, Producer Sterling, on reaching another pinnacle in life," Sophie teased.
Wyatt Sterling’s gaze fell steadily on Sophie’s face, staring at her for quite a while.
Sophie instinctively took out her phone to look at her reflection.
Nothing on her face, so why was he staring?
"You’ve changed." He spoke unexpectedly.
"Hmm?" Sophie was a bit puzzled.
"I feel like the Sophie Smith now is much happier than the Sophie Smith before."
The sorrow in his eyes had lessened, replaced by uncontainable happiness.
"Really?" She wasn’t sure why, but indeed, she felt her mood had improved a lot recently.
Thinking about the child in her belly, thinking about Asher Land...
She couldn’t help but smile.
"He must be treating you well now," he ventured.
Sophie naturally knew who Wyatt Sterling was referring to by ’he’, but could she admit this fact in front of him?
"Pretty well,..." Her tone was somewhat weak, "He’s been in a much better mood lately."
