Theo was genuinely happy to receive his friends' blessings, and his eyes were filled with joy.
…
Sierra, on the other hand, had also stopped playing the piano as Madison bombarded her with questions.
She screamed, "Didn't you say that you weren't going to go public? Why did you suddenly make such an announcement?
"Did you see what Mr. Gray wrote in his statement? Oh my God, he's so in love with you! Sierra, he definitely likes you. Please believe in my gut."
Sierra's cheeks were red as she traced the edges of the piano keys. She did not dare to tell Madison that she had already received Theo's confession.
…
Ten minutes later, Madison had finally finished venting all of her excitement.
Once their call ended, Sierra remembered Madison mentioning something about Theo's caption. So, she took her phone and looked into Theo's Twitter account.
There was only one post inside with the caption, "I'm so lucky to marry the woman I love. Sierra will always be in my heart. I love her!"
She felt her heart skip a beat, and she suddenly felt like her own caption was too casual in comparison.
Despite him not using or posting anything on Twitter before, the number of comments on his post was just as lively as an A-list celebrity.
"Mr. Gray is so affectionate!"
"He's handsome and loyal. Sierra really did hit the jackpot by marrying him!"
"Sierra has it so good. I wish I could swap places with her."
"Mr. Gray looks quite fit too. At the very least, he probably has a six-pack."
Reading through the unhinged comments, Sierra's face was red, and she was helpless as she put her phone down.
…
The entire bedroom was covered in glass shards, and the bed was a mess, unsuited for anyone to rest on. Hence, he could only carry her to the spare bedroom.
"I'll go call for a doctor," Benson said hoarsely before turning to head out.
Sophie quickly held onto his hands and responded pitifully, "Benson, please don't go. Could you just stay here with me?"
In truth, she had not hurt her stomach just now. She just wanted to find an excuse to get Benson's attention back on her.
Realizing that, Benson became cold.
Sensing his cold indifference, Sophie choked back her sobs as she explained, "Benson, please don't abandon me and our child. Sierra's already married, so could you just move on? We can just live happily with our family of three.
"You can feel the baby as it's slowly growing. In a few months, the baby will be born. The baby will then meet you and call you dad…"
Under her guidance, a picture of a little child chasing after him and calling him dad began to form in his mind.
His reluctance to touch her belly lessened, and he slowly placed his palm over Sophie's stomach.
