Sering that he didn’t respond. Sophie decided to turn her attention elsewhere.
The silence in the car was palpable, and even Chris, the secretary, could sense that something was off
Minutes later, the car came to a slow stop.
As Sophie prepared to get out, Marcus suddenly grabbed her, pressing her back into the seat.
He opened the door, stepped out, walked around to her side, and, without hesitation, scooped her up in his arms.
Sophie leaned her face against his chest, hoping to elicit some sort of response, but still got nothing.
Just moments ago, everything had seemed fine in the venue. Why the sudden shift in his mood?
Back in the room, Marcus placed Sophie gently on the bed. He started to move away, but Sophie wouldn’t let go of him. Her arms tightened around his neck, unwilling to release him.
The sudden movement caused Marcus to stumble slightly, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the curve of Sophie’s chest.
“Marcus, what’s going on today? Your mood is all over the place,” Sophie asked, her voice soft but clear.
This was the first time she had tried to guide him into talking about his emotions.
Marcus, still visibly tense, exhaled slowly. His anger simmered down but focused on a different place, settling in his belly. He raised his eyes to meet hers, the edges of his eyes tinged with red, before letting out a long, helpless sigh.
“You really don’t know why I’m upset?” he asked in frustration.
Sophie blinked, her innocent eyes reflecting genuine confusion. She truly couldn’t figure out why.
Without warning, Marcus lunged forward, causing Sophie to instinctively release her grip on him.
He knelt beside the bed, his hands gripping the bed’s edge, trapping her in a confined
“Sophie,” he growled, “You’re asking all the right questions, but you’re always so stubborn. Why do you hide everything from me?”
His gaze was intense, filled with desire as he leaned in, making it impossible for her to look away.
Sophie tried to turn her head, avoiding his eyes, but Marcus gripped her chin forcefully, pulling her face back to meet his.
There was anger in his gaze, but Sophie could tell he was struggling to contain it.
Looking into his eyes, she found herself unable to speak, her words stuck in her throat.
Marcus’s eyes dropped, focusing on her lips as they parted in a slight breath. His eyes darkened his lips crashing onto hers,

Sophie was startled, and her breath hitched in her throat, but Marcus didn’t let up. His tongue easily parted her lips, pushing its way into her mouth, claiming her kiss forcefully.
Sophie gasped, her hands weakly pressing against his chest in protest.
Only then did Marcus bite down on her lower lip, pulling away to catch his breath.
“Will you talk now?” Marcus asked, his voice dripping with mockery, as though threatening to go even further if she didn’t give in.
Sophie’s breath came in short gasps as she fought to catch her breath, still shaken from the kiss.
Before she could gather herself, Marcus pulled her into his arms, settling her against him on the bed.
Sophie froze–she could feel his arousal pressing against her, and her face flushed with heat.
Seeing that she still hadn’t said anything, Marcus tightened his grip on her waist, his face moving toward her chest.
“I’ll tell you!” Sophie gasped, her hands cupping Marcus’s face in desperation.
At last, Marcus released her, sitting back.
“This morning, I noticed that Helen was making soup and was about to add saffron,” Sophie said, her eyes searching Marcus’s face. “Do you know the effects of saffron?”
Marcus didn’t flinch, answering without hesitation. “It promotes blood circulation and reduces blood stasis.”
Ever since he had made up his mind about Sophie, he had done some research on her health.
“Do you know why I instructed Helen to add saffron to my soup?” Sophie asked, instinctively pushing his face away.
Sensing the shift in Sophie’s demeanor, Marcus’s grip on her waist tightened once more.
“If you don’t want this baby, you can just tell me. Why pretend to support me having the child, but secretly want to harm it?” Sophie’s eyes filled with tears, disbelief etched on her face as she looked at Marcus.
Marcus furrowed his brows. “I never instructed Helen to do such a thing.”
“But your chat records!” Sophie responded, the doubt in her voice growing stronger.
Marcus immediately pulled out his phone, quickly scrolling through the chat history with Helen, and handed it to Sophie.
Sophie flipped through the phone, but didn’t find any voice messages.
Wait… why was that?
Helen’s phone had those voice messages, and Sherry had confirmed it, so why had they suddenly disappeared?
Sophie looked at Marcus with disbelief in her eyes, still struggling to accept the situation.
