Second Chance At Love (Sophia and Jason) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491 

Oliver hesitated, looking at her with puzzlement, 

Oliver thought, ‘As far as I knew, Sophia probably didn’t know Irene. She was just a baby when Irene passed away! 

“Why bring this up all of a sudden?” Sophia furrowed her brow. She thought, Should I tell him the truth? Tommy’s parentage was only my speculation, and now I wasn’t even sure if I belonged to the heiress of the Watson Group. Revealing it could stir up trouble. Jason, that scoundrel, was desperate for leverage against me. If he finds out I am the heiress of the Watson family, he might use it to threaten me. I decided to keep Oliver in the dark to avoid more trouble. 

“Never mind. I’ve heard gossip that Renee is Roger’s biological daughter, and Ada is a prized jewel of the Watson Group. People speculate they might be twins. If it’s too much to ask. forget I brought it up.” 

Oliver found her explanation strained. After all, the Watson family had publicly acknowledged five years ago that Rence wasn’t part of the Watson Group’s heiress. So, where did the idea of twins come from? 

Nevertheless, he felt compelled to provide clarity since she had asked. 

“Irene spent her entire pregnancy abroad, and there were no rumors in Clumond City about whether she was expecting twins or a single child. If you’re eager to uncover the truth, I can arrange for someone to investigate overseas” 

Sophia clenched her fists suddenly, 

To find Tommy’s biological mother, she had to start with Irene, as she was currently the sole lead. 

But she couldn’t involve Oliver in this investigation. There were too many secrets to keep from him 

“No need. It was just a passing thought. Take me to Preston Hospital instead.” 

Oliver smiled faintly, giving the driver a quick instruction. He turned back to Sophia. “You still haven’t answered my question,” he said. 

Sophia paused, then chuckled softly. Tommy was the child I discovered that night when I escaped. 

At her words, a hint of guilt flickered in Oliver’s eyes. 

“I’m sorry for negligence, putting you in danger on the day you gave birth and losing track of Tommy” 

Sophia shook her head with a smile. “It was my fate. It’s not your fault.” 

Outside the ICU at Preston Hospital, a tall, lean figure stood silently before the towering glass window. 

The man stared fixedly at the young girl in the bed, her frail form adorned with tubes, his expression shadowed and inscrutable. 

Instinctively, he raised his palm as if to touch the child’s pale face through the glass. 

Abruptly, a sharp voice sliced through the air from behind him. “What are you doing here?” 

Cody froze, retracting his hand slowly. 

Turning around, any hint of softness vanished from his eyes, replaced by cold detachment. 

“My wife mistook you for my mistress and illegitimate daughter. So, she sent someone pretending to be a psychiatric patient to confront you–it’s my fault 

Before be could finish, Harriet rushed forward and delivered a resounding slap across his cheek. 

His talk of a “wift” didn’t Exce her. 

Nor did he mention a “mistress 

But the words “illegitimate daughter” struck a nerve. 

“Norman and I share an unbreakable bond of love. Our daughter Britney, born in wedlock, is a testament to our pure joy and fulfillment. How can you stoop so low as to diminish her? How dare you?” 

Gudy’s clicck stung, his gaze hardening with resolve.

Having lost his memory and risen to prominence over the years, how could he tolerate a woman striking him? 

“Britney suffered because of my actions. Please name your price, and I will do everything possible to make amends.” 

Harriet seethed, raising her hand again, ready to strike his other cheek.
