The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 729

"Let's eat."

Lance released his grip on the stroller, picked up his silverware, and placed some food onto Catherine's plate.

The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The afternoon sun was warm, and Lanny was sleeping soundly in his stroller.

But Catherine's heart was like a calm lake that had just been hit by a heavy stone, sending thousands of ripples crashing through her.

The waves spread outward from her chest, endlessly expanding.

"I remember you saying that after the Lee family situation was resolved, you had something to tell me. Is this it?"

Her grip on her fork tightened.

She felt like there was a secret Lance had already uncovered, yet she was still completely in the dark.

She glanced at Lanny, and her heart trembled.

"I was just saying that. What could I possibly need to talk to you about?"

Lance's tone was somewhat evasive.

With the Lee family drama reaching its peak, Catherine was already a nervous wreck.

If he brought up Lanny's parentage again, she would break down right then and there.

"Did you cancel your meeting with Sophia?"

Catherine nodded. "Susan hasn't been here these past few days. I was worried Alexa couldn't handle Lanny by herself, so I had to reschedule."

Lance replied, "Then you better explain that to her clearly, so she stops bothering me about it."

Ever since Catherine canceled the meet-up, Sophia had been blowing up his phone every day, demanding to know if he was forbidding Catherine from seeing her.

Just because Belinda wanted to do a paternity test on Lanny, Lance was now apparently holding a grudge against Sophia, too?

He had denied it, but Sophia didn't believe him.

Catherine set her fork down, picked up her phone, and texted Sophia.

[Sophia, we can't meet right now because Susan isn't here. I don't feel comfortable leaving Lanny alone with just Alexa.]
