Chapter 722
Scared out of his wits, Stanley rushed toward Michael, hugged his leg, and implored, “Uncle Michael, I’m
sorry! Please don’t kill me! I won’t talk badly about you to Aunt again! Sob! I’m your biological niece. Can
you please not kill me?”
……
Without saying a word, Michael’s face dropped.
Since today was the day he learned about the first-ever big news in his life, he would not allow himself to
lose his temper. He kicked Stanley before saying nicely, “Don’t worry. I’m having you over for a meal, not
to kill you.”
Meanwhile, Stanley was already frozen with terror as he began sobbing.
An instantter, many turned up, including Harry and his little kitten, Sean, Celine and Justin, Ivan, as
well as Sophia’s junior, Derek, who showed up amid his busy college entrance exam preparation
schedule.
Even Daniel, who never got along with Sophia, showed up.
Once they walked through the door, they immediately saw Stanley’s sobbing face. They all came up and
surrounded him. Upon finding out the reason why he was crying, Celine roared withughter. “You stupid
dog! Fifi is pregnant! Look at how happy your uncle looks today. He won’t choose today to kill you, and
perhaps not anytime within the next couple of months. Rx!”
An epiphany dawned on Stanley, who turned around and looked incredulous.
Sophia’s pregnant! It’s no wonder that Sophia is all smiles while looking at me right now.
Sophia looked rather different today. It was as if she was glowing and emanating an aroma as she was
experiencing an important turning point in her life. One could tell that she had a radically different aura
today.
Sophia’s pregnant, and Michael’s going to be a father!
To celebrate this, Michael decided to host a feast, only inviting those who were close to him. Still keeping
Sophia’s pregnancy on the down low, Michael only told some people about it.
What was even more surprising was that when Michael took Sophia for a checkup, Celine tagged along.
Celine ended up also doing a checkup and finding out that she too was pregnant.
This was truly a double celebration!
When the news of the two pregnancies reached the Fletcher Family, Mark decided to visit them. While he
looked happy as a m when he showed up, Woody looked rather nonplussed.
“Justin, Celine’s pregnant?!”
As a father-to-be and a second-time father, Michael and Justin delightedly wrapped their arms around
their wives as they beamed with happiness.
Nathan was over the moon as well. Although he would no longer be the only child in the family, the
thought of having two baby sisters to carry around delighted him.
Sophia had not informed the Edwards Family about her pregnancy. At this point, Lucy was still trying to
find ways to meet Michael. However, she gradually became aware that Michael was not as warm toward
her as she had expected. The most he did whenever they met was to arduously greet her and nothing
more than that.
As such, Lucy decided to let Jordan know about the current situation with Michael. Upon hearing it,
Jordan immediately understood the situation. Michael has surely figured out what Lucy’s up to. He
wouldn’t be the Michael I know if he didn’t understand Lucy’s obvious cues. A Bayside City anonymous
and a character who chooses to hide behind the fa?ade of Bayside City to manipte things behind the
scene—that’s Michael, the second-rate clown that the Edwards Family despises. But… what can I do?
This problem belongs to the younger generation. I have to retreat. Having said that, I don’t believe that
Michael doesn’t have any feelings whatsoever for Lucy. He will surely have a thing toward the woman
who used to despise him but has nowe back to him. I guess the key lies with his wife, Sophia.
Jordan had certainly looked into who Sophia was. She thinks she’s Cindere, but she’s just the
daughter of an illegitimate son of the Edwards Family. She doesn’t evene close to being included in
the genealogy record book. It’s such a waste that Michael chose to be with her…
Recently, Sam had been finding reasons to visit Michael’s ce now that Corrado was sent back. In the
end, he thought he could use visiting her while she was sick as an excuse.
In fact, he had been worried about Sophia’s health condition. On the other hand, he reckoned that Lucy
had started executing her n to get close to Michael. I wonder how that’s going. So long as it’s Lucy,
Michael isn’t going to have a way out.
Sam had been following Michael around recently, hoping to obtain some evidence of him being with Lucy
to show Sophia. But his efforts had not been fruitful so far.
I can no longer sit back and wait. I’m going to their house to check it out.
A couple of dayster, he showed up at Michael’s ce. Since Sam was one of the investors in all of
Sophia’s projects, Sophia had no reason not to let him into the house.
Upon entering the house, Sophia and Sam took a seat before Sophia instructed her helper to bring some
hot tea for them.
While Sam was taking a few swigs of hot tea, he could not help taking a peek at her. Seeing Sophia’s
glowing face, he reckoned that she had already recovered from her illness.
“Sophia, did you recover already?
Looking down, Sophia smirked rather shyly and responded, “Yes, after taking some medication.”
Sam asked, “You no longer throw up after seeing dogs, do you?’
Sophia replied, “Not anymore.”
There was a taboo among the artists—no pregnancies that were less than three months could be
announced publicly. All this while, she had been upied with work. Before she realized it, her
pregnancy was almost three months.
However, she would not make any announcements even if it was only a couple of days shy of three
months, and she would definitely not tell Sam about it.
She responded, “Thank you for your concern, Master Sam. I have always been healthy. It was my busy
work schedule that lowered my immunity and caused me to fall sick.”
Nodding, Sam began ncing around.
It’s the weekend today. I wonder if Michael is home. But, he’s an actor. Actors work every day throughout
the week, don’t they?
After looking around calmly for a good instant, Sam stated, “Where’s Taylor? Why isn’t he around while
you are sick?”
Michael’s name made Sophia blush. She cradled her mouth and answered, “Who knows where that jerk
went…”
Michael had been working on a new film recently. Fortunately, the set was in Bayside City, so he could
come home every day after work. Apart from the new film, he even made an exception and became a
spokesman for an advertisement.
He did all these for the baby.
Doubts arose in Sam’s heart. Sophia looks different from when I normally see her, but I can’t tell what’s
different about her.
As they carried on their conversation, the security guard of the residential area called and informed her
that she had visitors.
Sophia looked at the surveince screen and saw Joe and Faye standing outside.

What are they doing here?
Although Sophia was loath to invite them, especially Joe, in, Joe was nheless her father on paper.
Furthermore, he was part of the Edwards Family. Sam would definitely be suspicious if she refused to let
her father in.
“Who are they?” Sam asked, to which Sophia replied, “It’s my dad and my sister.”
Her father… and her sister!
Right away, Sophia stood up and went to get Joe and Faye. As she turned around, Sam’s countenance
became gloomy.
Joe… Sophia’s father on paper. Isn’t he the fat chap who raped Annabel?
When Sam found out about Joe, Sam resisted the urge to kill him numerous times. But, I’m going to hold
it in for Sophia.
The amulet given by Cooper which Sophia wore showed that she had long known the identity of her
biological father. However, she was nheless willing to treat Joe as her father.
I bet Sophia and Michael know the truth about the identity of her biological father. Regardless, it’s
beneficial for Sophia to acknowledge Joe, the fat chap, as her father. She can ride on Joe’s standing in
the Edwards Family to be included in the genealogy record book, and enjoy the protection of the
Edwards Family. But, if Sophia’s identity as Cooper’s daughter came to light, it might invite revenge from
the Mitchell Family. I’m sure they will try their best to kill her like how they killed her father…
