A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 287

Sophie looked as if someone had grabbed her by the throat, unable to speak for a long moment.

Her eyes flickered before she quickly resumed her delicate, pitiful act. Then, she said in a voice laced with grievance, "I'm not lying. I want to marry you because I love you."

Benson let out a cold laugh and walked away without looking back.

Standing in place, she wiped away her tears and gritted her teeth. "Sierra, why is it that even after you're married, Benson still can't forget you? You just won't go away, will you?"

The moment their argument ended, Janet received the news. Within half an hour, she arrived at Benson's apartment.

"Sophie, don't push your luck. If it weren't for Edward insisting that Benson take responsibility for the child, you wouldn't even have the chance to marry Benson.

"Now that you've gotten what you wanted, stop making a fuss. If you keep upsetting Benson, just watch how I deal with you.

"If it weren't for Edward demanding that Benson take care of the child, you wouldn't even be allowed through this door. And yet, you dare throw a tantrum at my son? You really don't know your place.

"It's just a child. Any woman can give birth. Without you, there are plenty of women lining up to have Benson's baby."

Janet's sharp words cut deep. Sophie felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

Once Janet left, Sophie could no longer keep up the act. She clutched her stomach and collapsed onto the couch, sulking in silence.

Meanwhile, Benson had lost count of how many times he had come to the apartment complex where Sierra once lived. Staring at the tightly shut door, he sank deeper into regret.

He never should have gotten involved with Sophie. If he hadn't, then the man married to Sierra right now would have been him.

The thought of his upcoming wedding filled him with frustration as his eyes darkened with unwillingness. Turning away, he got into his car and drove toward Southridge Heights.

At that moment, Sierra was picking out an outfit.

"This one's too casual—not good."
