Chapter 46 Sea Of Roses
"What did you say, Nathan?" Sophia looked at him in disbelief. "I'm the mother of your child! How could you say that about me?"
Nathan grabbed his phone and was about to leave. "I have nothing to say to you right now."
"Wait—" Sophia grabbed him, preventing him from leaving. "Nathan, I've done so much for you. I've been your mistress for three years, and you treat me like this?"
Sophia held onto him tightly. Nathan wanted to shake her off, but considering she was pregnant, he could only let her pull him along.
He said, "Sophia, neither of us is calm right now. Let's talk when we get back."
"No!" Sophia dragged him into the bedroom. "Let's talk about this now!"
"Sophia, let go!"
Sophia pushed Nathan onto the bed and then leaned in to kiss his lips. "Nathan, is it because I'm pregnant and we can't have sex that you went to find the car model? The doctor said I've passed the three-month danger period, so we can make love..."
Nathan turned his head away to avoid her kiss. "Get up, don't hurt the baby."
"It won't hurt the baby, I'll be careful. I'm your woman, I'm Mrs. Reed, I can help you..."
As she spoke, Sophia's hands were already trying to unbutton his shirt.
Sophia seemed to have deliberately dressed up today, her makeup was impeccable, and it seemed she had changed her foundation, as no matter how she rubbed, it didn't smudge.
But facing her, Nathan really felt no desire.
He pushed Sophia aside and buttoned up his shirt. "It's not what you think. I haven't had any contact with any woman. Your job is to have the baby."
"And what after the baby is born? Will you marry me?"
Nathan stood up, took a deep breath, and decided to be completely honest with her. "Sophia, I'm not getting a divorce."
Sophia was shocked. "...What?"
"I said, I'm not planning to divorce Emily," Nathan's voice was firm. "I'm going to reconcile with Emily. As for the child, don't worry, Emily is a kind person. After you give birth, I will take good care of this child with her."
Sophia sat down in disbelief. "What do you mean? You're reconciling with Emily! Nathan, what do you take me for, a surrogate mother?!"
"You don't have to put it so harshly. I'll help you keep your position in the company, and I'll double your salary. Consider it compensation."
"I don't want your damn compensation!" Sophia grabbed Nathan's hand, pleading, "Nathan, do you hate me? I fought with you because I love you. I won't do it again, I'll change, I won't touch your phone again, please don't be angry? You really scared me..."
Nathan interrupted her directly, "I'm not just saying this out of anger, I'm serious. Since Emily left, I realized that I really like her. I'll talk to her and convince her to come back."
"What about me?" Sophia pointed to her heart, "I've done so much for you, and now you say you like Emily?"
"You were too forward at that time, I was momentarily confused..."
Knock, knock, knock—
The bedroom door was knocked.
Carol's voice sounded impatient, "Are you two arguing again?"
Upon hearing this, Nathan broke free from Sophia's grip and went to open the door.
