The Kiss that Sparked it All novel 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.

But 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.
