Chapter 1251
Marissa nodded. “As long as she’s alright. Ellinor is pregnant now, and it makes me so nervous. I’m afraid any stress might cause her to give birth prematurely. You know. having a baby is like walking through a valley of death… Oh, and don’t tell your grandpa about what happened today, I don’t want him to get any weird ideas about Ellinor.”
“I got it.” Veronica responded.
In a hotel room
Sophia danced alone in her room to the elegant music.
Her attendant, Kevin, walked in with a bottle of wine. After seeing her passionately dance, he curiously asked. “What’s got you so excited?”
Sophia slowed down her movements and chuckled. “Do I look that happy?”
Kevin nodded as he uncorked the wine. “Definitely! You seem to be in a great mood today. What happened?”
Sophia stopped dancing. “Today, that woman, Ellinor, finally showed up!”
Kevin paused in surprise as he poured the wine. “Wait, isn’t Ellinor your rival? Why are you so thrilled to see her?”
Sophia smirked. “If she hadn’t shown up, she would have always been the one that Theo couldn’t let go of, and I could never replace her. Now that she’s here, her flaws will be exposed, and Theo will grow tired of her. I can feel it. Theo is starting to resent her already!”
Kevin looked confused but passed the glass of wine to Sophia. “So you’re saying that you’re close to winning Mr. Blanchet’s heart?”
Sophia took a sip of the wine. “No, it’s not that easy! To win Theo’s heart there’s still a long road ahead. Right now, he only sees me as a friend. It’s only when he’s completely fed up with Ellinor that he can make room for me in his heart. But it’s okay, I’m not in a hurry: I can wait.”
Kevin felt a pang of sympathy for his master. “You’ve been pining for Mr. Blanchet for so many years. If you had confessed your feelings earlier, Ellinor wouldn’t have stood a chance! When he needed a woman to fake marry to appease his family, Mr. Blanchet came to you first.”
Sophia dismissed him with a wave of her hand, “What do you know? Some things can’t be rushed. Remember Patricia? She confessed her feelings directly and even tried to use the fact that she saved Theo’s life to pressure him. But what happened? Theo still didn’t care about her!
So, I never saw Patricia as a rival because I knew she didn’t stand a chance!
If I had confessed directly. Theo would have kept his distance from me, It would have been counterproductive. A mature man like Theo, who is self-respecting and has strong self-control will not allow himself to be in ambiguous relationships with women.
The best way is to subtly stay by his side like I do, let him get used to my presence, and slowly make him unable to live without me.”
Kevin was a bit taken aback and looked at Sophia with admiration,
Sophia swirled the wine in her glass. “As for Ellinor, she’s indeed pretty and has a strong character.
But her low background is a weakness she can’t escape. With a low background comes limited exposure. Being with Theo will only lower his standards. Putnam Blanchet won’t like her.
I believe Theo, being such a wise man, will choose me in the end.”
Sophia drank her wine with confidence, grinning as she looked out at the night.
The next day.
First thing in the morning. Ida and Chase left for work.
Belinda couldn’t knock on Ellinor’s door last night, so she had to sleep on the couch. But when she woke up, she found herself in Chase’s bed.
She jumped up in surprise but saw that she was alone in the bed, with all her clothes on, and then sighed in relief.
