“Tch!” Shiloh responded. “Nina, do you know how many of my ex-girlfriends have tried to use that trick on me?”
Shiloh couldn't care less about whether Nina was pregnant or not. The Chambers family was a prominent family, so he would never marry her. Furthermore, she was nothing but a liar.
Nina's face was as pale as a sheet when she replied, “I'm not trying to trick you, Mr. Chambers. I just want to know if you want the child or not.”
As though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world, Shiloh laughed and mocked, “Drop your act, Nina! This is getting boring. Well, that's all I'm going to say to you. I don't care if you're pregnant or not, and I don't care if you're keeping the child. If you're planning to use your pregnancy to blackmail me, I suggest you stop and start thinking about apologizing to the people you have offended. That way, you might still have a future in the entertainment industry!”
With that, Shiloh turned and left.
Nina stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.
She wasn't pregnant, but she merely wanted to test Shiloh out. To her disappointment, he really couldn't care less about her.
It seems that Shiloh really doesn't want to see me anymore! I'm doomed! I'm now the laughingstock in the entertainment industry, and I don't even have anyone to rely on outside the industry. There's no way I can find someone like Shiloh to hang on to. I'm done for! Everything is over!
Shiloh simply couldn't believe his bad luck.
Everything went well for me for the past two decades. Who would've known that Nina would cause my downfall? Did she really try to use her pregnancy to blackmail me? How funny! I encounter that on a yearly basis. I've always taken precautions, and if they claim to be pregnant, they're merely after my money.
If Shiloh were to be dealing with someone else, he would've given that person money and moved on. However, he hated Nina so much that he didn't even want to offer her any money.
In truth, Shiloh knew Nina was lying when she told him she was pregnant. Although he had known her for six months, they had never spent much time together, and they had only had sex a few times.
Nina had even feigned innocence and undergone hymen reconstruction surgery to trick him into thinking she was a virgin.
Shiloh had been with countless women, and when he thought Nina had given him her first time, he had actually tried to go easy on her, so they seldom had sex.
I've only had sex with her that many times, and I took precautions each time. If she's really pregnant and gets blacklisted by the entertainment industry, she can at least sell her child to those rich families.
Shiloh walked out of there very quickly because the more he thought about Nina, the angrier he became.
He had thought Heath had left him there, so he was surprised to see the latter's car outside the
entrance.
“Heath, you care deeply about me, don't you?” Shiloh was touched. The rest of those b*stards left me!
Heath lifted his gaze and glanced at Shiloh lazily. “She told you she was pregnant, right?”
Shiloh was rendered speechless. I see... He was waiting to make fun of me.
Seeing that Shiloh was quiet, Heath knew he had guessed it right.
He smirked and said, “It seems that things are looking bad for you, Shiloh.”
Shiloh refused to back down. He retorted, “Well, things aren't looking good for you either, Heath.”
Heath's smile faded when Sophia popped up in his mind.
I've always been rebellious, and no one can tell me what I can and cannot have. I rarely fail when I decide to go after a girl. So what if Sophia is married? She can always get a divorce.
Shiloh zipped his mouth when he saw that Heath had gone silent.
Oh, forget about it. Why should we hurt each other?
Alexander had no idea someone was eyeing his wife.
As the couple had had an eventful night, Sophia only woke up at almost nine the next morning.
When she woke up, it was raining and the weather was gloomy.
Sophia sat on the bed for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up. By the time she was done washing up, Alexander was already done making breakfast.
After breakfast, Alexander asked if she wanted to go to the hospital.
Katherine is getting discharged tomorrow. Sophia shook her head. “Let's just go there tomorrow.”
“Okay. Let's pick our wedding photos in the afternoon.”
The editing was finally done for the wedding photos the couple had spent a week shooting. It was time for them to pick the photos they liked and have them framed.
Amazingly, over two thousand photos had been edited within three days.
Indeed, money makes the world go round.
“What would you like to have for lunch?” Alexander asked.
Sophia couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that. “Are you cooking?”
“Yes.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Alexander had already settled the business matters abroad, and he was ready to stay in Chanaea for good. If needed, the company would email him certain important documents, and he could just handle them at home. As for the other business matters, he had delegated his responsibilities to the manager
and Spencer.
At the same time, Sophia had gradually stepped away from Odyssey, and Alexander seemed to have no intention of managing the company himself.
Both of them were now as free as a retiree could be.
Upon hearing that Alexander was cooking lunch, Sophia went online to look for dishes he could make.
However, they didn't have enough ingredients in the fridge, so they ended up going to a nearby market to buy groceries.
At that hour, most of the people who went to the market were housewives and retirees. After all, young couples like Alexander and Sophia would have to work.
The rain hadn't stopped ever since Sophia woke up that morning. Even when the couple was shopping at the market, it was still pouring.
When Sophia woke up that morning, she had received a text from Katherine. Apparently, Katherine was craving garlic butter prawns, and she had asked if Sophia could bring some for her the next day.
Sophia was amused. Katherine has just given birth to her child, and she's already craving all sorts of dishes. Since she can't have any, I'll eat some on her behalf.
Sophia bought half a kilogram of prawns to have Alexander make the dish.
Once the dish is done, I'll take a photo and show it to Katherine. I hope she doesn't get angry at me!
While Sophia was lost in her thoughts, the car suddenly came to a halt.
Sophia was startled. But she quickly returned to her senses and lifted her head to see Nina standing in front of the car.
Sophia turned to look at Alexander. At that moment, his expression was utterly grim. Evidently, Nina's action of stopping the car in the middle of the road had angered him.
Under the pouring rain, Nina walked toward the car with an umbrella and knocked on Sophia's window.
Sophia rolled down the car window halfway and tilted her head to look at Nina. “Ms. Newfield, are you now an insurance fraudster?”
