Sophia cut him off before he could say another word, her chest rising and falling heavily. “When Jeremy grows up, how is he supposed to face everyone looking at him differently?
“Everyone would know he was born before his parents were married–a child who can’t even openly clai his own father. Even if… even if you and I end up together someday and he becomes an Ashford, this shadow would follow him for life.
“What kind of future would he have? How could he ever hold his head high in the Ashford family?”
By the time she finished speaking, all the pain she’d been holding back came flooding out.
She couldn’t keep up the sweet, understanding act any longer. Covering her face with her hands, she brok down in tears.
“Lucas, you’re so selfish. You haven’t thought about Jeremy’s future at all. You only care about yourseit ane your inheritance.”
Her crying was starting to grate on his nerves.
“Enough!” Lucas snapped. He grabbed her by the shoulders and gave her a sharp shake Get a hold of yourself. Sophia! Is this really the time to fall apart?”
His grip was so tight it dug into her collarbone.
Sophia had no choue but to stifle her sobs. She looked up at him through blurry eyes his faccwisted with anger and impatience

Lucas thought she was scared because their relationship and the truth about their son might get exposed
But only Sophia knew the real reason.
Jeremy could not take a DNA test.
Not ever. Because he wasn’t Lucas‘ biological son.
Right then, Sophia’s mind raced into overdrive.
She quickly wiped her tears, forcing herself to stay calm with whatever logic she had left, though her voice still trembled with resentment. “But Lucas, why is it always me and Jeremy who have to make the sacrifices?
“Couldn’t we… use this chance to go public with Jeremy’s identity first? We could spin it another way. Say I was just his guardian, that I was raising him for a friend, or something. Anything. At least let him be recognized as part of the Ashford family line first, let your grandfather accept him–then we can figure ou!
