Chapter 504: Deliberately Falling to Gain His Sympathy
Isaac let go of Soren's hand and quickly walked over to Amara.
As Isaac squatted down, Amara reached out and grabbed his arm, leaning her body against him, and said weakly, "Isaac, my belly hurts. The baby has been restless. I can't stand up. Can you carry me back?"
Before Isaac could respond, there was a sudden noise behind him, like something had fallen to the ground.
"Daddy."
Soren's cry came.
Isaac quickly turned to see Soren had fallen to the ground, seemingly hitting her head.
She lay on the ground, covering her forehead with her hand, crying very sadly.
Isaac's heart tightened, and he immediately stood up, ready to check on Soren.
"Isaac!" Amara quickly grabbed Isaac's pant leg, stopping him from leaving.
She bit her lip lightly and said pitifully, "Isaac, my belly hurts. Our baby might be in danger. Don't you care about our baby?"
Isaac didn't say anything but directly shook off her hand and quickly walked over to Soren, picking her up.
"Where did you get hurt? Let me see." Isaac looked at Soren nervously, unable to hide the worry and tension in his eyes.
Soren removed her hand, revealing her forehead.
There was a bump on her forehead.
Isaac felt heartbroken and immediately blew on her forehead, "Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the doctor right away. You'll be fine."
Soren cried on his shoulder.
Isaac felt terrible, wishing he could have a bump on his forehead to accompany Soren.
But the urgent matter now was to take Soren to the hospital to see a doctor.
Isaac carried Soren and left quickly.
"Isaac, are you going to leave me?" Amara called out sharply, her voice trembling with disbelief.
She couldn't believe Isaac would leave her.
She was carrying his baby!
How could he be so heartless?
Isaac didn't look back, "I'll call Mark over. If you need anything, talk to Mark."
With that, he was already far away.
Amara trembled with anger, her eyes filled with hatred.
She had lost to a child completely!
Isaac cared so much about Soren, which meant he also cared about Soren's mother.
Amara suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis.
'Is Isaac delaying marrying me because of that mistress?'
'He said he was worried about me being tired during pregnancy and that I wouldn't look good in a wedding dress with a big belly. Was that just an excuse to delay marrying me?'
'Isaac cares so much about that mistress, and she even had two kids for Isaac. Even if I have the baby, I might not win against that mistress, and Isaac might not marry me.'
The more Amara thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
No, she couldn't just sit and wait; she had to act—Isaac was hers, and no one could take him away!
Amara stood up with a determined look.
At this moment, Mark hurried over.
Seeing Amara unharmed, he looked her up and down before asking, "Ms. Hansen, are you okay? Mr. Porter said you fell and asked me to take you to the hospital to check if the baby is okay."
Amara gritted her teeth, "I'm fine. No need to go to the hospital!"
She had intentionally sat on the ground to use the baby to keep Isaac, and she hadn't fallen at all.
She wanted to keep Isaac and test whether he cared more about Soren or the baby in her belly.
The result was very hurtful.
Amara clenched her fists and walked back to the villa with a face full of resentment.
Isaac took Soren to the neighboring villa and had the family doctor check her forehead injury.
Soren's head was a bit swollen but not serious. The doctor prescribed some ointment for her.
Isaac felt both guilty and heartbroken.
It was his fault for not taking care of her, which caused her to fall.
"Daddy, it doesn't hurt anymore. Don't worry." Soren comforted obediently, seeing his guilt.
Isaac said, "You're still a child. If it hurts, you can cry, complain, and throw a tantrum. You don't have to be so obedient, and you don't have to worry about me."
Soren said, "But it really doesn't hurt anymore. Seeing you worry about me makes me feel worse."
Isaac smiled, "Okay, I won't worry. My precious daughter is the strongest. Even if you gets hurt, you are not afraid."
Soren smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Why are you suddenly so happy?" Isaac asked with a smile.
Earlier, she had called him a scumbag and looked unhappy.
Now, after falling, she kept smiling.
Did she hurt her brain?
Soren stuck out her tongue at him playfully, "Not telling you!"
Isaac chuckled and shook his head, not asking further.
Soren blinked and looked at Isaac expectantly, "Daddy, can I stop going to school?"
Isaac refused without thinking, "No, you must go to school. Otherwise, you'll be illiterate, not knowing words, and not understanding many things. You could be easily deceived."
Although the Porter family didn't lack money and didn't need Soren to study hard to earn money in the future.
But one had to learn and gain knowledge. Only with enough understanding could one take control of their life, achieve a deeper happiness, and avoid being deceived.
Isaac continued, "Even if you don't go to school, I still have to work. It's not like I can be with you all the time if you don't go to school."
"You study well during the day, and I'll be with you at night."
Soren pouted, "I can go to work with you. As long as I'm with you, I won't disturb you."
"No, you need to study." Isaac still refused firmly.
Soren said, "Then you can hire a private tutor for me. I'll study at your company."
Isaac said, "You still have to be separated from me while studying, just like going to school. Why not go to school?"
Soren pouted, "I just want to be closer to you."
Isaac looked at Soren intently.
Soren pouted, "Daddy, please agree."
She needed to stay by her daddy's side to prevent that mistress and other women from getting close to him!
She had to help her mommy keep her daddy and not let him be taken away!
