Chapter 2
The screen flickered from bright to dark again.
A sarcastic smile curved on Sophia’s lips. After being with him for seven years, she wanted a child. She had taken a lot of supplements, but due to her health issues, she could never get pregnant.
Arnold, feeling sorry for her, had directly told her he didn’t like children and that they would be a child–free family in the future.
But now, his beloved crush was pregnant with his child.
Ridiculous.
Arnold sat next to her with a glass of water, looking gentle as he spoke, “Sophia, drink some hot water first. The plane will land soon, and when we get home, I’ll cook for you. Okay?”
To keep her emotions in check, Sophia simply nodded faintly.
Soon, the plane landed on the tarmac.
At that moment, the phone on the table rang several times in quick
succession.
Sophia glanced at it, clearly noticing the shock and belated joy in his
eyes.
“Babe, something came up at the company, and I need to handle it. The driver is waiting for you at the airport entrance. Go home and rest, and I’ll come back to be with you once I’m done.”

After saying this, Arnold stood up and left the plane.
“So, it turns out he doesn’t dislike children after all,” came the thought.
As she watched his figure disappear from her sight, Sophia quietly stood up and left as well.
By the time she got home, the sky had already darkened.
Looking at the familiar layout of the house and the various couple- themed items scattered around, Sophia’s thoughts were pulled back five years in time.
This house was a graduation gift from Arnold, fully paid for with the deed in her name.
At that time, she was so touched she couldn’t even describe it. Not only did she personally overs This book had been added on your bookshelf.
she also meticulously selected all the soft furnishings and small details.
But now, it seemed like this house would soon change owners.
Shaking off the unwanted thoughts in her mind, Sophia tossed all the couple–themed items into the trash.
Next, she submitted her resignation to the company.
Before she left, she needed to arrange everything. Most importantly, she had to elete all the things about her on Arnold’s phone!
If he could shamelessly live–stream on the plane, then his phone must have private photos of her. She couldn’t allow those photos to leak out and become a weapon for him to take revenge on her mother!
In the dead of night, Sophia was awakened by the urgent ringing of her

Groggily, she opened her phone, and several video messages from an unknown number appeared on her screen.
In the videos, Arnold was playing a game of truth or dare with his friends. There was a woman sitting beside him.
The woman wore a white dress, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, tucked behind her ears. Perhaps because she lost the game, her eyes shimmered with tears, giving her an innocent, pitiable look that made others want to protect her.
“Arnold, Cassandra lost. Aren’t you going to be her savior? Or do you want Cassandra to do a striptease right here?”
“Woohoo! Are we going to see something tonight?”
The teasing voices filled the room, and the woman called Cassandra Jarvis blushed, grabbing Arnold’s sleeve and saying, “Arnold, if you don’t want to, it’s okay. I—”
Before she could finish, Arnold immediately pulled her into his arms, giving her a passionate French kiss.
After the kiss, Cassandra shyly leaned against Arnold’s chest.
Meanwhile, his friends continued to egg him on, spinning the bottle and placin it in front of him.
“Come on, Arnold! Truth or dare?”
“Truth.”
“Alright, first question. If Cassandra and Sophia fell into the sea at the

same time, who would you save?”
Upon hearing the question, everyone in the room focused on him.
Arnold didn’t hesitate for a second, his voice cold as he answered, “I’d save Cassandra. Sophia doesn’t deserve it.”
The indifferent words came through the phone, but Sophia’s heart had already grown numb,
Was he showing off to her?
But she no longer cared.
Just as she was about to turn off the phone, it vibrated again.
“Did you see that? Arnold only has me in his heart. You’re just a stand- in.
“Let’s meet tomorrow morning. I need to talk to you about something.”
In the darkness, Sophia slowly clenched her fist, her fingertips turning pale.
