543.Chapter 543

Caleb asked, "What do you mean by 'not quite right'?"

Caleb looked confused, unable to understand what Adeline was trying to say.

Adeline replied, "Oh, what I mean is, don't you think Sophie's been acting a bit odd since she returned? She's just not the same."

"There's nothing wrong with her," Caleb shook his head and said, "I think Sophie is perfectly fine. In fact, she's been much more gentle with me since she came back, especially..."

At the mention of this, Caleb suddenly turned red, a lovesick expression on his face.

Adeline, seeing her son's pathetic look, couldn't help but twitch her mouth in frustration. "Forget it, forget it. You're hopeless. I'll have to check things out myself."

Caleb said, "What are you talking about? Wait, where are you going, Mother?"

Adeline ignored her foolish son and lifted her feet, heading straight toward the courtyard where Caleb and Sophie now lived.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Sophie sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, resting.

Adeline paused for a moment, then scowled and scolded, "Some people just don't know how to act like a wife. Your mother-in-law comes to visit, and you don't even bother to greet her."

Hearing Adeline's voice, Sophie opened her eyes, revealing a cold and distant look.

Adeline was startled by the chilling gaze, and for a moment, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

"What's this?" Adeline thought, feeling uncomfortable, as if Sophie's gaze was that of a lifeless person.

Sophie calmly said, "Oh, it's you. I was resting after serving my husband last night. I didn't notice your arrival. Please forgive me."
