Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 316

Although Charles knew that Sophia was merely cooking up excuses, his eyes still darkened.

He did have that mentality at first, but he soon realized that Grandfather would never come to love him as much as Justin.

Master Harris kept quiet for a while before turning around. With his back to Sophia, he asked, “I asked you if you’re really pregnant. Why are you talking about all these meaningless things?”

“It’s true, I… I will never lie to you anymore,” Sophia replied, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone to buy a pregnancy test now and I’ll have Aunt Jacinda… Watch me take the test…”

Aunt Jacinda had served Master Harris for over ten years now, so even if he did not believe his own children, there was no way he did not trust Aunt Jacinda.

Upon hearing Sophia’s suggestion, Aunt Jacinda chimed in, “The girl doesn’t look like she’s lying. Master Harris, it doesn’t take long to take a pregnancy test anyway. Why don’t we just do it now so you won’t have any regrets?”

“Regrets? Why would I have regrets?!” This was Master Harris’ way of saying that he agreed with the suggestion.

Aunt Jacinda then suggested treating Sophia’s wound, which Master Harris permitted. Before the maids could even move, Charles rushed to his room and brought out the first aid kit. He swiftly began to clean Sophia’s wound.

Sophia’s muscles contracted when the antiseptic came into contact with the wound. She broke into a cold sweat.

“Does it hurt?” Charles looked up at her and asked.

Sophia shook her head. “It’s fine.”

“You have your very own first aid kit and you’re able to bandage a wound so skillfully. Are you sure you didn’t plan on becoming a doctor?” Master Harris asked in a weird tone.

Charles did not even look his way as he replied, “Well, I tend to get beaten up every now and then. Since I didn’t have anyone to help me treat my wounds, I had to learn myself.”

Although his voice was loud and clear as if he was talking about something casual and unimportant, the words were much more substantial. Sophia opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Master Harris was a bit taken aback. His face changed as he snorted. “Well, blame that on your own grandmother!”

The Harris family’s maids moved quickly, and soon enough, they had brought back a pregnancy stick as well as other accurate test measures.

Aunt Jacinda went to the bathroom together with Sophia, and after trying out several tests, she confirmed that Sophia was pregnant.

Before Master Harris could lose his temper, Sophia threw herself on the floor and began sobbing in fright, “The last time I… I only lied to you to save myself, but this time… I’m really not lying this time. Grandfather, please forgive… Forgive me! I promise to take good care of this baby…”

Master Harris sat down on the sofa and looked down at her. There was no hint of emotion in his face, and he did not say whether he forgave her nor, did he ask her to get up.

“The floor is chilly, get up.” Charles reached over to pull her up.

However, Sophia shook her head and pushed him away. “If Grandfather doesn’t forgive me, I… I don’t dare to get up.”

Charles had cleaned the bloodstains on her face earlier when he was treating her wound, but now as she began crying again, tears and snot were all over her face. She looked just as dirty and wretched as before.

“Grandfather, please just let her get up. After all, she’s really pregnant. It won’t be good for the baby if she kneels on the floor like this.” Aunt Jacinda suggested kindly.

Master Harris kept quiet, the deep wrinkles on his face showing anger and suspicion as he asked Sophia, “With that brain of yours, I bet you wouldn’t be able to come up with a scheme to deceive me, let alone such a meticulous one…”

He gave Charles a side glance before continuing in a harsher tone, “Did Charles put you up to it?”
