Chapter 335 He Is Just a Scumbag
Sophia returned to the store and cried for a long time before she stopped.
Then she started working.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock at night that Sophia closed the store and prepared to go home.
When she reached the door, she saw a familiar black luxury car parked outside.
The window of the back seat was open, and a slender hand holding a cigarette was hanging out of the window.
Upon hearing Sophia's footsteps, Rylan, who was hidden in the darkness of the back seat, turned his head, his cold and sharp gaze falling on Sophia.
Sophia froze, her hands and feet instantly turning cold.
She instinctively clenched her fists, her eyes dark and cold.
"Get in the car." Rylan said coldly.
Sophia took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions surging in her heart, and silently got into the car.
The smell of tobacco inside the car made her nauseous.
She could only open the window, put her nose to the edge, and breathe in the fresh air outside to feel a bit better.
The car moved slowly.
Sophia kept looking out the window and didn't ask him where he was taking her.
After all, she never had a voice in front of Rylan.
He could take her wherever he wanted, even if she opposed it, it would be of no use.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on her swollen belly, fingers gently stroking her stomach.
Sophia froze.
She looked down, and saw Rylan's hand caressing her belly.
Her breath almost stopped, and goosebumps instantly appeared on her skin.
She resisted the urge to push Rylan's hand away.
She knew that her resistance would provoke his anger.
"Mr. Reed," Sophia said tensely, "why did you come to see me so late?"
Rylan Reed said, "I heard you had an argument with someone today and cried."
Sophia said, "I didn't argue with anyone."
She indeed didn't argue with anyone; it was the clothing store owner who had been verbally abusing her one-sidedly.
Sophia took a breath and said, "I'll be careful in the future, I won't get emotional and affect the baby."
Rylan must have come to warn her because he thought her emotional state would affect the baby in her womb.
If she couldn't control her emotions, Rylan would find a quiet place to continue confining her, so she could calm down and not have the chance to get emotional again.
She didn't want to lose her freedom.
Only three more months.
She just had to endure for three more months.
Rylan looked at her coldly.
But Sophia never turned her head to look at him.
Since getting in the car, Sophia hadn't looked at Rylan once.
Rylan's aura became even colder, and the pressure inside the car was terrifyingly low.
Suddenly, Rylan felt something push against his palm.
He froze, looking down at Sophia's swollen belly.
He moved his hand to a different position on her belly, and after a while, it was kicked again.
"Is this fetal movement?"
He continued to explore Sophia's belly with interest, the coldness in his demeanor quickly fading away.
A subtle feeling spread in his heart.
"Yes," Sophia responded indifferently, her expression impassive and unresponsive.
She hated Rylan and had no feelings for the baby in her womb.
Even when the baby moved in her belly, she didn't feel any joy.
"Does he move frequently every day? What time does he usually move?" Rylan asked.
Sophia shook her head, "I don't know, I'm too busy to keep track of these insignificant things."
Rylan's face darkened again.
He looked at Sophia coldly, suddenly losing interest, and withdrew his hand impassively.
Rylan didn't take her to any strange places but directly sent her home.
But after getting out of the car, Rylan didn't leave; instead, he followed her upstairs.
Sophia thought he was just going to see her to the door.
But when she opened the door and walked in, ready to close it, Rylan pushed the door open and walked in as well.
Sophia's alarm bells went off, and she asked sternly, "Mr. Reed, what are you doing?"
Rylan said, "It's too late, I'll stay here tonight."
Sophia was very resistant inside, not wanting him to stay at all.
But Rylan was always domineering; even if she disagreed, he wouldn't leave.
Anyway, she was pregnant now, so he couldn't do anything. She might as well treat it as taking in a stray dog for the night.
Sophia didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the living room.
She sat on the sofa and ordered dinner using her phone.
She hadn't eaten dinner in the afternoon because she was in a bad mood, and now she felt a bit hungry.
The restaurant Sophia ordered from was very close, and the delivery arrived in less than half an hour.
Sophia took the delivery back to the living room, placed it on the table, and turned on the TV with the remote control to add some background noise, making it less awkward.
"You're eating this for dinner?" Rylan frowned as he looked at the fried chicken she opened.
Sophia said, "I eat it often. The doctor said everything is normal during the prenatal checkup. The doctor also said as long as the food is clean and hygienic, there's no problem."
Rylan's brows remained tightly furrowed.
To him, this was junk food, neither nutritious nor healthy.
At this moment, the TV was on, and it was replaying an entertainment news segment.
"Latest news, entertainment mogul Rylan Reed is about to get engaged. The identity of his fiancée remains a mystery, rumored to be his college first love, but her information has been well-protected, and no one knows her name or appearance..."
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became a bit strange.
Rylan looked at the TV with a dark expression.
Sophia didn't have much of a reaction, but hearing this news suddenly, she was a bit surprised.
After a pause, she politely said, "Congratulations."
Rylan's aura grew colder, and he sneered, "You're really magnanimous, hearing about my engagement and still offering congratulations."
Sophia said, "Just being perfunctory, not sincere."
Rylan had ruined her life; how could she sincerely wish him well?
It was just a bit awkward, so she casually said something perfunctory. It was ridiculous that Rylan took it seriously.
Rylan's expression was unpredictable.
Sophia ignored him, finished eating, cleaned up briefly, and then started washing her face and taking a shower.
By the time everything was done, it was already past midnight.
Rylan Reed warned her discontentedly, "Don't stay up late anymore, it's bad for the baby's development."
Sophia responded perfunctorily.
Secondhand smoke is even worse for the baby, but he still smoked in front of her, didn't he?
But she couldn't be bothered to tell him that.
Anyway, this child would be his in the future.
If something really went wrong, it wouldn't be her problem.
She didn't like this child at all and didn't care about his health.
After Sophia lay down in her room, Rylan also entered.
Sophia said unhappily, "Mr. Reed, I already told you where the guest room is. What are you doing in my room?"
Rylan said, "Bonding with my child."
Sophia pressed her lips tightly together, her hands clenching hard.
Rylan said with a smirk, "We've slept together for seven years, yet you are still shy?"
Sophia's fists clenched even tighter.
How does he have the nerve to bring up the past seven years.
She had been deceived!
Deceived by Rylan and Cole!
That incident was like a knife stabbed into her heart.
Seven years had passed, and that knife had fused with her flesh and blood, never to be removed.
Rylan's words just now were like twisting that knife, making her heart bleed and causing unbearable pain.
Sophia ultimately held back and didn't lose her temper.
Sophia lay on her side, facing outward, feeling very agitated.
Rylan also got into bed, lying down beside her.
Then, his arm came around, and his hand rested on her belly.
Rylan's body didn't touch hers, but he was close enough that Sophia could feel his warmth through the air.
Sophia's whole body tensed, every hair on her body standing on end.
Her stomach began to churn, and she had a strong urge to vomit.
She hated Rylan's touch.
To her, Rylan was a rapist, a john!
Rylan was dirty and disgusting!
And Rylan was about to get engaged, how could he still lie in bed with her so shamelessly?
Scumbag!
God must be blind to let such a scumbag be successful and powerful.
Such a person should be struck dead by lightning!
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here for the baby, I won't do anything to you." Rylan said in a deep voice.
Sophia took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to morally criticize him.
Even if she said it, it would be meaningless.
To someone without a moral bottom line, even if you pointed at his nose and cursed him, he wouldn't think he was wrong.
Even if he knew he was wrong, he wouldn't allow others to criticize him.
He wouldn't demand himself to change, he would just deal with the person who raised the issue.
Just three more months.
Endure a little longer and it will be over.
Sophia kept telling herself to ignore Rylan Reed's presence and eventually managed to fall asleep fitfully.
In the following period, Nora didn't go to the store.
She did her work at home, and when the kids came home, she had to put down her work to accompany them.
She talked to a psychologist about Magnus's issues.
The psychologist had suggested that since Magnus only listened to Mortimer, he should spend more time with Mortimer.
Only when Magnus's emotions were stable could they instill the correct values and morals in him, achieving good corrective effects.
To help Magnus recover, Nora had to find Mortimer, explain the situation, and see if it was convenient for him to spend time with the kids after school every day, so she could also educate Magnus.
Mortimer naturally wouldn't refuse Nora's request.
So, every evening, after picking up the kids from school, Nora would take them to Mortimer's house.
Of course, before going, Nora texted Isaac, explaining the psychologist's suggestion and her decision.
Isaac took a long time to reply with a single word: [Okay.]
Nora could almost imagine Isaac's angry and disappointed expression.
But she had no choice.
She had to educate Magnus properly.
Isaac was on the business trip for half a month.
On the day he returned, he didn't tell Nora in advance; he wanted to surprise her.
He came home with a bouquet of roses and three gifts.
One for Nora and two for the kids.
Isaac also lit candles in the room and prepared some red wine, planning to have a romantic evening with Nora when she got back.
They hadn't seen each other for half a month, and he hadn't held her for half a month. Tonight, he was determined to hold her tightly!
During this half month, Isaac had been in contact with Nora every day, knowing that she would have dinner with the kids at Mortimer's house every night before coming home.
He also asked the housekeeper about their usual return time, which was generally between nine and ten o'clock.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Nora brought the kids back to Isaac's villa.
Magnus had accidentally fallen and scraped his knee, so Nora carried him home.
She asked the housekeeper to take Soren for a bath while she carried Magnus to his room.
After bringing him to his room, Nora handed him over to the housekeeper.
Magnus was growing up, and it was no longer appropriate for her to help him bathe.
After putting the kids to bed, Nora went upstairs to her room.
She opened the door without any defense.
But the moment she opened the door, she was pulled into a strong, broad embrace.
Nora was startled, screamed in fear, and reflexively resisted, raising her fist to hit the person in front of her.
"Honey, it's me."
Her fist was caught.
At the same time, a deep, husky voice sounded above her head.
Nora froze.
"Isaac? When did you get back?!"
Nora was both surprised and delighted, quickly pushing him away and looking up at his face.
He was still as handsome as ever.
But he was a bit thinner and more haggard than half a month ago, with dark circles under his eyes.
Nora's nose tingled, and she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
Isaac hugged her back tightly, laughing softly, "Why are you crying? Did you miss me?"
Nora choked up, "I didn't miss you at all!"
"I'm crying because you've become ugly, so haggard, not as handsome as before."
Isaac was silent.
How was he not as handsome as before?
Isaac laughed, "That's because I missed you every day, couldn't sleep at night, and didn't rest well."
"But it's okay, as long as you compensate me properly, I'll become handsome again."
Nora asked, "How should I compensate you?"
Isaac smirked, "You tell me."
Nora looked confused.
And Isaac had already lowered his head, kissing her lips.
Showing her with actions how to make up for it.
Nora pushed him hard, but couldn't push him away.
His kiss deepened, making her unable to resist.
Nora's body went soft, her head dizzy, and she collapsed weakly in his arms...
