"You..." Sophia glared murderously at Ellinor. She realized that she had no more tricks left up her sleeve to annoy Ellinor. Her eyes burned with envy as she looked at Ellinor standing with Theo.
Suddenly, a conniving grin spread across her face as she held her stomach. “Ellinor, you think you’re so special because you’ve given this man three kids. But guess what? I can have kids too, and right now, I’m carrying your man’s child!”
Ellinor narrowed her eyes and scanned Sophia’s flat stomach. “And how did that happen?”
Sophia shot Theo a provocative look. “Well, how do you think it happened? Your man couldn’t keep his hands off me. Night after night, we went at it. How else do you think I ended up pregnant?”
Ellinor glanced at Theo.
Theo’s expression was stony. “I never touched her.”
Ellinor merely snorted and turned back to Sophia. “He never touched you. So, what exactly are you pregnant with, Ms. Sophia? Do you take me for a fool? Before he came back to me, he was in a wheelchair. How could he have fathered a child? Even if he did touch you, it must have been you who initiated it, right?”
Sophia’s face stiffened before she broke into laughter again. “He was faking the wheelchair thing! How else do you think he recovered so quickly?”
Ellinor crossed her arms and stood her ground. “Yes, I know he was faking it for a while, but who do you think he was pretending for, Ms. Sophia? Don’t you remember? He was pretending to still need the wheelchair so you wouldn’t figure out his secret and become suspicious. If he wanted to keep you in the dark about his recovery, why would he come on to you? Hmm?”
“Regardless, I am carrying his child. If you don’t believe me, we can take a blood test!”
