Chapter 349
*James, I’m carrying your child! Yet here you are, pursuing your ex–wife. Do you even care about this child anymore?”
“I never wanted this child!”
Sophie heard the same words as in her past life, but they weren’t directed at her but at Nichole this time.
In her past life, this was how she lost her child.
Sophie’s eyes darkened. “Take your arguments home. Don’t drag me into this
She tried to shake off Nichole’s hand, but before she could exert any force, Nichole stumbled backward on her own.
Sophie frowned, instinctively reaching out to support Nichole, but Nichole ungratefully pinched Sophie in return. Sophie instinctively withdrew her hand just in time to see Nichole fall to the ground.
“My child, my baby!”
Nichole’s face tumed pale as she clutched her stomach, feigning pain, “You wicked bitch, you want to kill my child! James, what are you waiting for? Take me to the hospital now!”
Witnessing the poor performance, Sophie let out a cold laugh. It seemed Nichole didn’t truly understand the pain of losing a child.
James glanced at Nichole on the ground, then at the curious looks from the crowd. If Nichole continued to make a scene, the situation would only escalate, dragging Sophie further into it.
As James hesitated, Colt immediately stepped forward, trying to help Nichole up, but she wouldn’t budge.
Colt’s hand hung awkwardly in mid–air. Seeing no other choice, James picked Nichole up and stemnly said to Colt, “Go start the car. We’re going home.”
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”
Sophie stood still, while Nichole cast her a triumphant smile.
What did James affection matter? She was carrying the Burke family’s flesh and blood, and James would still prioritize her. Sophie watched as James carried Nichole away. She was not concerned with the onlookers‘ stares but wished James had taken responsibility for her child like this in her past life. Perhaps her child wouldn’t have died.
Even with Nichole’s wrongdoings, James still cherished the child she carried.
Sophie slowly walked out of the restaurant and had just reached the door when she suddenly heard a woman asking. “Sir, are you alright? What happened? Let me help you up!”
Nearby, in a comer, a wheelchair was tipped over, revealing a familiar figure.
Sophie paused.
Was that Gordon?
Suddenly, Sophie remembered that the Aldridge family owned Diamond Crest Hotel. It wasn’t strange for Gordon to be here “It’s okay, thank you”
here late at ni
at night
Gordon’s tone was polite and courteous.
Then, Sophie realized Gordon’s legs weren’t completely immobile. He just had difficulty walking.
He settled back into the wheelchair, and his reaction to seeing Sophie was not one of surprise.
James had booked the entire restaurant at Diamond Crest Hotel for the evening, and Gordon knowing about it was only natural as he
was the owner.
Sophie had intended to flee the moment she saw Gordon, but he noticed her so quickly, leaving her uncertain whether to stay or go. She only managed a polite, “Mr. Gordon, where’s your assistant?”
