On her way back, Katherine called Sophia. “Sophia, I’m so glad you’re back. I was supposed to go to the reception with Easton today, but I got stuck at work and couldn’t make it.”
Sophia had just gotten back to the Roth residence. She thought, ‘Of course, Easton would be there. That does not surprise me at all.
‘But what really caught me off guard is that Easton has not bothered to show up in front of me.‘
Sophia had already heard about the Weston family and Stella in Elmwood Bistro, and when she got home, Derrick filled her in on all the details.
But this time, it didn’t stir up any feelings in her at all.
It suddenly hit Sophia that the real issue between her and Easton had never been about Stella.
She thought, ‘It was that he had never

‘In his eyes, I am still just that kind of woman who is scheming and willing to do whatever it takes to get what is wanted.‘

That day at the hospital, when East Woman
Sophia felt utterly disappointed in him.
Katherine’s mind was still focused on caring for Murray’s child, and she almost overlooked the situation between Sophia and Easton. “Sophia, I’m really sorry. I shouldn’t have mentioned Easton to you.”
Sophia gave a faint smile. “It’s fine. done. He doesn’t matter to me anymore.”
“Katherine, are you feeling any better lately?” Sophia asked, changing the subject.
Katherine filled Sophia in on everything that happened today.
Murray had actually kept his promise to Katherine. Before heading off to Yorkland, he bought a house in Menolia under her
name.
He was strapped for cash back then because Stella had drugged him while he was in Yorkland, and they ended up spending the night together.
Stella got pregnant soon after and started blackmailing Murray for money. She demanded 30 million, threatening to tell Katherine about the baby if he didn’t pay up.
Murray didn’t want Katherine to get hurt, so he tried to make money as fast as he could to shake off Stella’s threats.

But he never saw that car accident coming on his way to sign the contract.
In the end, Stella took advantage of her pregnancy with Murray’s child and shifted her target straight to Easton, scheming to drag him into her mess.
Sophia thought, ‘No wonder Stella is George’s daughter, she is as cold–blooded as they come.’
Sophia didn’t talk to Katherine for long. Julian was finally out of the hospital today, and Sophia wanted to spend some quality time with him over dinner. It was a rare and special chance for them to be together as a family again.
Even though Aunt Victoria was still overseas, Edward said she had finally replied to his messages. That was definitely something to celebrate.
Ever since Derrick got off work and came to the Roth residence, Lucas had been glued to him as if he was Derrick’s son.
“Lucas, stop clinging to Uncle Derrick. He has been working all day, and you’re still hanging on to him. Go wash your hands and come eat,” Sophia said as she walked in after hanging up, putting on a stern face.
Lucas hung his head and snuggled into Uncle Derrick’s arms. “Uncle Derrick, Mom scolded me again. I’m so scared.”
Derrick gave his little face a loving kiss. “Don’t be scared. I’ve got you covered.”
‘Wow, this little guy is already learning how to play the victim? He’s a total drama king,‘ Sophia thought, both amused and exasperated.
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh, both amused and helpless. She walked over and gave him a gentle pat on the butt. “Come on, let Mommy carry you, okay?”
Lucas looked up at her with his adorable little face, his voice soft and sweet. “Okay, I love Mommy the most.”
Annie and Julian watched nearby, both bursting into laughter at the scene.
Edward was in an even better mood since the whole house was lively and full of joy.
