Sophia could tell Easton was emotional, and his grip on her hand was so tight that it hurt. “Let go of me. It
hurts.”
Easton pressed her hand to his chest. “Sophia, have you ever thought about how much it hurts right here in my heart?”
Getting lied to didn’t feel good at all.
Sophia could sense the dangerous vibe coming off Easton, and for some reason, it made her tremble with fear.
“Easton, I-” Sophia stammered, her voice trembling.
Easton said, “Sophia, all of you kept this from me, even Annie. What are you trying to do? Are you planning to take my kid and disappear again, or let my son start calling someone else ‘Dad’?
“Sophia, I’m not going to let you have your way.”
Sophia felt a wave of fear crash over her. “Easton, are you really going to try to take custody of my child?”
Easton’s face darkened as he shook off her hand. “Yes.”
Sophia’s face hardened. She knew it. If Easton ever found out about Lucas, he would definitely fight her for custody.
Everything she’d been dreading all this time was finally happening.
“Easton, can we have a proper talk?” Sophia asked.
Easton scoffed, his laugh cold and bitter. “Sophia, it’s funny that you only want to talk when you’re being threatened.
“Do you feel satisfied? Everyone knew, even my grandma, but I was the only fool kept in the dark.”
Sophia was at a loss for words, and she couldn’t believe that Irene also knew about Lucas.
However, now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.
“Easton, if we really end up fighting this out in court, it would leave a great impact on Lucas,” Sophia said, her voice trembling.
Actually, when Easton found out at home just now that Lucas was his son, taking Sophia to court for custody never even crossed his mind.
He was wracked with guilt toward both Sophia and Lucas, and he couldn’t bring himself to hurt them, not even a little.
However, when Sophia blurted out, asking if he was going to fight her for custody without even trying to explain anything about Lucas, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of anger.

They locked eyes for a moment, and Easton took a breath, forcing himself to calm down.
“Sophia, you pushed me to this. I’m his father, and I have every right to fight for custody,” Easton said.
His eyes were still piercing, but most of the anger had faded from him, and his tone was almost eerily calm, which only made Sophia feel even more on edge,
Just then, Annie pushed open the ward door and caught sight of Sophia and Easton near the entrance. The tension between them was obvious.
“Easton, Sophia, what’s going on?” Annie asked with a worried look.
Sophia lowered her gaze, staying silent.
Easton turned to Annie, his face cold as ice. “Annie, go tell Julian and Derrick that if they dare get involved in the fight over custody, I’ll make them regret it.
“Crestview Group and the Roth family will pay, no matter the cost. I mean it.”
Annie froze in place, completely stunned. She’d never seen Easton this furious before. She thought, ‘So, he

already knows Lucas is his son, right?
‘What the hell is he doing? Is he seriously going to fight Sophia for their kid? He’s out of his mind.’
Sophia was also shocked, and she rushed forward, grabbing onto Easton’s sleeve. “Easton, you can’t do this.” Easton stood his ground, lowered his head, and gently removed her hands from his sleeve.
He looked up at Sophia, and seeing the tears brimming in her eyes, he felt an ache in his chest. However, the anger from being lied to outweighed the pain.
“Sophia, I’ve never been a good guy,” Easton said.
Sophia’s eyes widened, tears brimming as she watched helplessly as Easton turned and walked away.
