The glass hit on the hard tile and broke into pieces, and the tiny pieces bounced off Sophie's white
instep, scrapping her legs.
"Mother, it's all right to be angry with me, but it's not worth to hurt yourself." Sophie stood by the door;
her mood unchanged.
May looked at Sophie with disgust. She was in a bad mood, and Sophie was here, which made May
hard to calm down.
"What are you doing here? Don't you think our house is messy enough?" May showed her dislike to
Sophie.
Sophie was not displeased by May's dislike for her. Despite the slight injury on her instep, she went in
the room, put the fruit on the coffee table and put the flowers in a glass vase.
After she had done all this, she stood at the end of the bed and smiled, "Mom, I came for a maternity
examination today, so I came to see you by the way. After all, you are Sky's mother. Even if you don't
like me, I should come to see you."
"I don't want to see you. You'd better get out of my sight, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
May's face was cold and she gave her ultimatum.
"Mother, can't you see all these now?" Sophie smiled softly, and stroked her round belly. "Your child is
the most important thing to Sky right now, just like what you value most is your child."
May looked at Sophie's smiling eyes with tightened furrowed brows. A flash of triumph flashed across
Sophie's face.
"So what?" May sneered, "You also think that Sky only values this child, so you are nobody!"
Sophie's smile froze on her face, and she was embarrassed, but she still raised her head, "Mom, as
long as Sky cares about this child, then he would not leave me. After all, I am the child's mother, and
the child cannot leave the mother."
"Perhaps other children might not lose their mothers, but the child would rather lose a mother than
have a mother like you!" May went on to count Sophie's crimes, "You plotted your own sister and
married Sky. You brought troubles to others and yourself and got humiliated by Timothy. You are evil,
selfish and cruel, and got your reputation ruined..."
"A mother like you will only make the kid feel shameful. Why does the kid want you as a mother? So
Sophie, if you still have a little self-knowledge, and care about the child, then give birth the child and
then alone. Don't bother the child so that he would make him feel ashamed of you!"
Sophie didn't have any feeling for May's scolding. "I just want to love someone. What's wrong with
me?" she asked.
"You can't persuade Sky to drive me away even if you commit suicide. It can be seen how important I
am in his heart. I also love him deeply. I won't leave him no matter what you do."
"I want to live a happy life with Sky and our child. This is what I have been looking forward to, and it will
happen now. When the baby is born, it will come true. No one is going to stop me from being happy. No
one could destroy my family, or I'll fight for it with my life!"
Sophie narrowed her eyes, looking sharp. She had managed to be with Sky again. She would not leave
no matter what happened.
What Sophie said was a warning. How could May not understand it? And it was not the first time she
had seen Sophie's viciousness under her tender look.
She believed that people like Sophie could do anything ruthless, but May was afraid at all.
"Sophie, you underestimate how much a mother can do for a child. I won't let you stay with my son, no
matter what it takes! This is my bottom line!" May's face was fearless and her eyes were fixed on
Sophie. She would not give up an inch and would defend to the death.
"Then we'll see who dies first," Sophie raised her eyebrows calmly, as if declaring war on May. "But
you've been dead once. You may try again next time..."
"I will not disturb you. Take a rest and live longer. I want you to see how happy Sky and I would be."
Sophie smiled happily and turned away contentedly.
May was not angry, but said in a low voice, "Evil will be rewarded. It is not because the time has not
come."
Sophie gritted her teeth and shut the door hard.
Sophie left May's room, holding the bag in her hand, taking a deep breath as she walked, trying to not
let May affect her mood. But what May said was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she couldn't shake it
off.
In fact, she was not confident in being with Sky again. She lived very carefully every day, and she was
afraid of making Sky unhappy and was abandoned by Sky.
Even if she was tired and bored, she would adjust her mood and greet Sky with a smile. But Sky came
home late every day and didn't even touch her, so she dared not complain at all.
Sky said she was pregnant with a child, and she had to be careful in every step.
He said he valued the child very much and he didn't want it to have any danger.
He said she was expecting a baby soon and he would make it up to her when the baby was born.
***
He had a thousand reasons to convince her, and she knew it was true, but she was uneasy.
Sky did well in other aspects except for not touching her and coming home late. But why did she still
feel that he was far away from her?
She felt she could not see through him.
Sky's attitude and May's stopping made her feel under great pressure.
'The old woman is really meddlesome. Why that knife did not cut a little deeper so that she could die?'
Sophie was cursing May.
She believed that it was not just May who hated her, but others in the Tanner family were also reluctant
to accept her.
Even if she gave birth to the child, she would not get any real recognition from them.
Sophie's fingers tightened a little on her stomach. Her eyes drooped and she looked a little complex.
She knew better than anyone who the child's real father was, but she didn't want to admit it.
She imagined that the child's father was the man she loved the most because she only wanted to have
a baby with the man she loved.
And this guy was Sky all along, not Timothy.
When she was lost in thought, the mobile phone rang. It was a strange number.
