Chapter 1441
She loved this man. From the first moment she laid eyes on him, she was deeply smitten.
So, even when his health was compromised, she didn’t mind.
As long as he was by her side, she felt victorious and happy.
However, they should have a child together. A child would help rekindle their bond and create a tie between them.
So, before Theo’s health was fully recovered, she brought back the child she had previously abandoned, lying to
him that the child was theirs.
The moment he saw the child, he didn’t doubt her. He believed the child was his.
Because the resemblance was uncanny.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut the child never warmed up to her. No matter how kind she was or how much she loved him, he would never call
her mommy.
Sophia at times lost her patience and wanted to discipline the ungrateful child, but fearing the man would find out,
she always held back.
If she couldn’t tolerate this, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?
She would try to be good to the child, so the man would believe they were once a loving couple.
Then, once Theo’s health was restored, they could have their own baby. By then, without any manipulation on her
part, the man would naturally prefer the newborn.
As for the older child, she could find an excuse to send him abroad for studies and discretely deal with him.
Now the biggest obstacle was the man’s health.
In fact, he was now fully convinced that they were husband and wife.
His refusal to let her help him bathe was merely due to his pride. He was unwilling to let his wife see his
vulnerabilities.
In short, he would absolutely not have room in his heart for that woman, Ellinor. The psychological conditioning he
had received over the years was thorough. He would never remember her.
Meanwhile.
At Cheesey Pizza House.
After a round in the play area, the three little ones were exhausted and each munched on a big slice of pizza.
Veronica, resting her cheek on her hand, watched her niece and nephews, finding them more and more adorable.
Suddenly, she noticed Ellinor, who was somewhat absent-minded, sitting next to her and waved a hand in front of

“Sis, what’s on your mind? We agreed to bring the kids out for fun, yet you’ve been distracted all along. You’re not
thinking about Bartlett, are you?”
Ellinor snapped back and looked at Veronica thoughtfully. “No. I bumped into Sophia at the preschool gate earlier.”
Veronica was startled. “What?! You ran into her? Wasn’t she in M State? When did she come back?”
“She said she just got back.”
Veronica frowned in resentment. “I get angry just thinking about that woman! If not for her, my brother wouldn’t
have disappeared! She’s to blame!”
Ellinor squinted her eyes. “Back then, she was holding a child.”
A child? Veronica was taken aback. “She has a child? Who’s the father?”
A cloud of doubt crossed Ellinor’s face. “She said she’s married, and the child is hers and her husband’s.”
Veronica seemed to share Ellinor’s suspicion. “Who’s her husband? What’s his name? What does he look like? Did
you see him?”
Ellinor shook her head. “No. It was just her holding the child.”
