The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 138 The Dress Blessing

Sophia had been holed up in bed for days, looking like a total mess with her hair all over the place.

Hayden, who usually spoiled her, finally had enough. He barged into her room, fuming. "Sophia! Are you still my daughter? So what if Michael dumped you? He's got his own problems now, you should be relieved!" His words hit Sophia hard. She didn't want to admit she got dumped.

"Who told you Michael dumped me?" she yelled, her face twisted with anger, startling Hayden.

Sophia, usually so gentle, had never acted like this. Evelyn rushed in, knowing Sophia better than anyone. She knew Michael must have been the one to end things. She had already told Hayden.

But Hayden, being the doting dad he was, didn't get it and joined in Evelyn's rant. "Michael doesn't know what he's missing. You'll find someone better!"

Evelyn and Sophia were set on marrying into the Smith family. Now, only they were worried. Sophia was heartbroken, and Evelyn was scheming ways to win Michael back.

"Let Sophia be alone for a bit. You don't understand a young girl's feelings!" Evelyn said, trying to push Hayden out.

But he was still fuming and kept yelling at Sophia. "Michael's not the only rich guy around! I have a friend connected to Mrs. Watson, Mabel Simpson, from Emerald City. It's her birthday today, and her grandson's coming back from abroad. I thought of taking you there to meet people! But seeing you like this, you don't deserve to be my daughter..."
