391 Chapter 391
391.Chapter 391
When Easton heard that Sophia had almost lost the baby back then, his pupils constricted with shock, and for a moment, he froze.
But he didn’t turn around. He fought to keep his shock in check and just kept walking.
Frank watched Easton walk away without even flinching. Frank was fuming inside, but there was nowhere for his anger to
He learned Sophia had almost lost the baby back then because the caregiver who looked after her in the hospital was now working for the Hayes family, taking care of his grandfather.
That day, when the news about Sophia and Derrick having a child blew up online, Frank happened to overhear the caregiver and the maid gossiping about it at home.
Based on the timeline, Frank immediately guessed that Easton was actually the baby’s father.
That was exactly why Frank couldn’t wait any longer.
It was not just that the two had a kid together. Sophia had never been able to get Easton out of her mind, not even after all these years.
Her heart still belonged to Easton.
Whenever Frank thought about how Sophia still had feelings for Easton, jealousy ate him up inside.
Even before he found out about the kid, Sophia had already shot down his proposal. But Frank wasn’t about to back off. Having a child didn’t matter to him one bit.
Hence, he was dead set on keeping Sophia and Easton apart, no matter what it took. And he was determined to make Sophia his, the sooner the better.

After Easton got back in the car, he couldn’t shake off the turmoil inside. Frank’s words kept replaying in his head, refusing to let him go.
Guilt, regret, sadness, and heartache churned in his chest.
He owed Sophia so much.
Easton thought to himself, ‘Sophia’s right not to forgive me.’
After Gordon arranged for another car to take Katherine and Allison out, he finally got back in Easton’s car.
Seeing that Easton seemed out of sorts, Gordon asked carefully, “Mr. Foster, are you alright?”
Easton kept his eyes closed, not saying a word.
Gordon didn’t dare disturb him and just headed out from the hot spring resort. The city was still a ways off.
Not long after they left the hot spring resort, Easton slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, “Take me to the Roth residence.”
Gordon nodded. “Understood, Mr. Foster.”
He thought, ‘Ms. and Mr. Roth left the party hall early, before it even ended. They should be back at the Roth residence by
now.
‘If Mr. Foster goes over now, Ms. Roth might already be asleep.’
Gordon wanted to remind Easton, but seeing how Easton looked, he kept his mouth shut.

An hour later, Easton’s car pulled up to the Roth residence. Easton took out his phone and called Sophia.
But all he got was an automated message asking him to leave her a voice message.
Sophia’s phone was off.
Next, he called Julian.
“What is it?” Julian picked up.
“Is Sophia at home? I tried calling her, but her phone’s switched off,” Easton said.
Julian walked out of the hospital room, phone Successfully unlocked! eye to Japoria tonight. She should be on the plane by now.”
Easton was taken aback. “Why did she head back to Japoria all of a sudden? Is something urgent going on at Rothea

Julian replied, “Yeah, I heard there’s a project that needed her to handle personally. She made the call this morning, kind of on the spur of the moment.
“After the party, Derrick drove her to the airport himself.”
Just as Easton ended the call with Julian, Derrick’s call came through.
Derrick said, “Sophia had to fly back to Japoria at the last minute today. Before she got on the plane, she told me to give you a heads-up.
“Since she’ll be away for a bit, she figured it’d be a good chance for you and Lucas to spend some time together.
