As he walked away, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She covered her chest and gasped. She felt like she was about to suffocate.
"Mrs. Sophia, are you all right?" The maid helped her to stand up.
She shook her head and stood up. She felt so tired that she just wanted to lie down.
She went back to her room and lay on the bed slowly. She didn't know where Lucas was. She didn't want to ask or answer him.
Outside the window, it was terribly dark. As a gale roared, sand and fallen leaves whirled in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, a dazzling lightning was projected in from the floor to ceiling window.
The thunders came in succession, deafening. Even the windows and the floor slightly trembled.
She covered her ears with her hands in a hurry and pulled the quilt to cover her head and feet.
Hasty footsteps came from outside and quickly extended to the bedside.
"Don't be afraid, Sophia. I'm here."
She raised her head and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears. She felt nothing but grievance.
The sky is like a slit. The rain falls in a torrential rain. The rain falls on the glass window, forming numerous streams and falling down slowly.
"Sophia "Sophia..." He murmured. His voice was so weak as if it was broken by the rain.
No matter how strong a person was, he or she had some weakness in his heart, and he or she did not want anyone to touch it.
After the storm for the whole night, the leaves on the trees withered, the ground turned red and the yard was desolate.
When Sophia woke up from her sleep, Lucas was sitting next to her and looking at her for a moment. His eyes were deep and unpredictable.
"Why are you staring at me sleeping?" She stared at him angrily and touched the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, there was no saliva. She didn't sleep bad.
He could tell that she was in a better mood from her expression. He smiled and asked, "Honey, are you hungry? Would you like to have breakfast with me?"
She nodded.
Soon, the maid brought her breakfast. After she finished eating, he got close to her and asked, "Honey, did you say those words on purpose yesterday to make me angry?"
"If you don't invite me, we will come, too." Sophia giggled, and handed her a French cake, smeared with blueberry sauce.
She took a bite, put it on the plate, took out her cellphone and opened a set of design drawings. "Don't mention that I don't take care of you, this is the maternity dress I specially designed for you."
Sophia took the box and looked through it. It was a collection, from three months to nine months, and by season she would wear all kinds of equipment.
"Maria, you are so considerate." She was so moved that she held her face and gave her several kisses in succession. As she ate up the cake, she said to Sophia with a stern look, "Although you get pregnant, you should not just pay all your attention to the baby in your body but forget about yourself. Even if you get fat, you should dress yourself up to be a charming mother to be. It's an easy time for any man to cheat on his wife, especially my brother-in-law, who is so handsome and rich. You must take good care of him and keep an eye on him all the time. Just in case, don't let your guard down for a moment. "
Sophia sighed silently. She couldn't deal with those women anymore. They had even been unearthed under the ground. How could she have any energy to make preparations.
The clothing press conference of Maria's would be held this Sunday, and Sophia and Lucas were invited as the guests.
The models were wearing gorgeous clothes on the T-stage.
In a good mood, Sophia fixed her eyes on the models walking back and forth as well as the clothes designed by Maria.
All of a sudden, a slender red figure appeared at the exit passageway of the venue, nobody noticed her since they all paid their attention to the models, but Sophia saw her because she was right in front of her.
