The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1839

...

Theo emerged from Marlinie's hospital room and dialed a number on his mobile as he walked along the corridor. After issuing a few instructions to the party on the other end, he ended the call, only to find his path blocked by a familiar figure.

"Marcus!"

Her voice was like a grating sound to his ears. It made him instinctively wince. After looking up, he saw Sophia standing in front of him. Her red-rimmed eyes were on the verge of tears.

Sophia was not a delicate-featured woman. He had long wanted to tell her that this pitiful look did not suit her. But he had no desire to engage in conversation with her, so he simply tried to walk around her.

But Sophia was not about to give up. She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist as she cried out, "Marcus! You can't treat me like this! You can't... I love you so much... I've done so much for you! I sacrificed so much! How can you just discard me?! Marcus..."

Her cries drew the attention of passersby, sparking whispers and murmurs.

A look of disgust crossed Theo's face, which quickly turned into anger. He pulled her arms off him and pushed her aside. "Haven't you done enough?"

Sophia stumbled and fell to the ground, immediately clutching her stomach and crying out. "Marcus, how could you push me?! I'm carrying your child! How can you treat me like this?!"

After hearing her pleas, the crowd of onlookers began to mutter disapprovingly.

Theo, however, was not an ordinary man. His imposing aura was overwhelming. One cold glance from him was enough to scatter half the crowd, causing the rest to back off a bit.
