    “Yes. That boy must’ve yed hard at noon. He’s out like a light.”


    Sophia was now thoroughly convinced that the kid in their house was not the one they had raised, but


    the one who had grown up beside Ellinor.


    Perhaps he found the discipline at home too strict and decided to run off for some fun, not wanting to


    return.


    Children may not understand much, but having one around always presented a risk. Who knew when


    the little tyke might spout nonsense in front of Marcus?!


    She needed to find a way to deal with it. And the two around Ellinor needed to be dealt with too. She


    needed to avoid future trouble.

    She certainly didn’t want her future husband to have children with another woman.


    After thinking it over, Sophia tested the waters, saying, “Marcus, would you like to have another child to


    keep Tristanpany?”


    If she could have a child of her own with Marcus, it would be much easier to find an excuse to get rid of


    the one Ellinor had borne.


    Marcus hesitated slightly, his brow furrowing. “What do you mean? How would we do that? Do you


    think I’m in any condition to have another child?”


    “Marcus, with all the advances in technology, we could try using artificial insemination. While we’re still


    young, I’d like to have another child.”


    Marcus coldly responded, “We’ll think about thatter. For now, you need to take care of your father’s


    business.”


    “Okay…” Sophia didn’t continue, but she noticed the faint sweat at the roots of the man’s hair. “Marcus,


    why are you sweating so much?”

    A fleeting shadow crossed Marcus’s face as he answered. “It’s nothing. It just feels a bit


    in here.”


    Sophia thought it was very strange. “Hot? I remember in M State, no matter how hot it was, you never


    broke a sweat.”


    “I slipped in the bathroom a while ago. When I got up, I exerted some effort and broke out in a bit of


    sweat.”


    He couldn’t let Sophia know he was doing rehabilitation exercises. That would only raise her


    suspicions.


    Sophia felt relieved after hearing his exnation. “Marcus, next time something like this happens, you


    can call me to help. We’re husband and wife; it’s okay for us to see each other’s bodies.”


    Marcus simply responded with a nomittal grunt. “Next time, I’ll call you. You’ve been out all day,


    so take a rest. I’m going to check if Tristan has woken up.”


    Sophia wanted to say something more, but the man was already turning his wheelchair to leave.


    At that moment, her cell phone rang.


    Without getting up to follow him into the room, Sophia sighed and picked it up.


    It was her father, Thaddeus, calling.


    “Honey, your mother and I are almost done with our trip and ready to head home. When are you and


    Marcusing back?”


    Sophia sighed in frustration. “Dad, we can’te back just yet. The domestic business you asked me


    to handle isn’t finished yet. I need more time.”


    Thaddeus’s voice hardened. “Just sell those properties. What’s taking so long? Did you run into any


    problems over there?”


    Sophia sounded worried. “Thepanies that were supposed to buy our businesses suddenly backed


    out. They’re all saying they don’t want to buy,”


    Thaddeus grunted. “Those cunning foxes! They’re probably taking advantage of you, a young woman.


    Your mother and I are about to finish our trip, so we’lle over to help you. Don’t worry, I’ll handle it


    myself.”
