Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 315

“Don’t the two of you think you’re very impressive? Why aren’t you talking now?” This was Master Harris’ first time being fooled like this, and in addition to what happened earlier at the shareholders’ meeting, he was outraged. “Kneel down on the floor!”

Charles made no objections and dropped to his knees immediately, but just as Sophia was about to kneel down, he reached out and stopped her. “Don’t kneel down, the floor’s very cold.”

“I made Grandfather angry though, and besides, this… I really am at fault.” Although Sophia did not cry, her red eyes made her extremely pitiful.

Master Harris noticed that Sophia’s attitude was slightly different than usual.

However, the anger in his head quickly clouded this realization. He snorted and walked in front of Sophia as he positioned his cane right behind her knee. “Either you kneel down yourself or I’ll make you.”

“Grandfather, I…” Sophia was just about to speak when the cane hit her.

She had not expected Master Harris to make such a strong move so suddenly. Her eyes widened in shock as her hands instinctively went to her stomach to protect her abdomen.

Charles got up as quickly as he could but was not able to stop Master Harris. Sophia fell forward as her knees buckled below her.

Shhhhhunk!

The sound of broken porcelain shards penetrating her flesh rang in the air.

Sophia had fallen where the broken mug was and her arm coincidentally pressed into one of the broken pieces. Blood immediately gushed out of the wound.

“Sophia!” Charles rushed to help her, but she signaled him a look to not come any closer. However, he merely ignored it and went forward to help her up. He pulled her into his arms. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Sophia shook her head.

Seeing that both of them had ignored his words, a dark shadow cast over Master Harris’ face. He pounded his cane on the floor and gritted his teeth. “Charles, don’t you push me.”

“He’s just worried about me and the baby, please don’t be angry.” Sophia pushed Charles aside and got back on her knees.

It would have been better if she had not mentioned the word ‘baby’. As soon as Master Harris heard it, he immediately remembered that he had been deceived. His expression darkened even more.

“How long do you want to hold this act up! How dare you still try to lie to me about this pregnancy!” Master Harris raised his leg as if he wanted to kick Sophia.

Charles frowned and quickly stepped forward, but after seeing Sophia’s look of warning, he stopped. “If you don’t want your great-grandchild, go ahead and kick her!”

Master Harris was quite doubtful about his words. However, the temptation of his first great-grandchild was too great that he could not resist. After a long moment of hesitation, he lowered his leg.

“Grandfather, I really… I really am pregnant…” Sophia clutched her stomach fearfully as tears began to stream down her face.

Master Harris got instantly annoyed as he saw the tears. “Stop crying! You’re just like your mother, only knows how to cry without a single brain cell in that head. I don’t even know why Charles likes you! Idiot!”

It was unclear who he was referring to as the idiot. Perhaps it was Sophia, perhaps it was Charles, or maybe the two of them.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry for lying… Lying to you, but I’m now… I’m really pregnant now. We only found out a few… A few days ago…” Sophia had one hand pressed on the wound on her arm. She had used her bloody hand to wipe the tears from her face, so her face was now stained with streaks of blood, making her look terribly wretched.

Master Harris was even more aggravated as she began sobbing. “Stop crying!”
