The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 301 Blame Her

Sophia lay on the bed and looked toward the doorway, only to see Marcus standing there motionless.

The man was tall and had a slender figure. His tailored black suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist made him look exceptionally stylish.

If Sophia hadn't been his fake lifesaver, she would have pursued him back then.

Putting everything else aside, Marcus' appearance alone completely outshone Sky.

But Sophia couldn't even have Sky, her legitimate fiancé, let alone dream about the unobtainable Marcus.

However, stolen things would always remain stolen. No matter how cautiously she held on, she could never grasp happiness that didn't belong to her.

Tears streamed down Sophia's face as she reached out and caressed her lower abdomen. Losing the child was a good thing for her, but if that man knew about it, she was afraid he would kill her.

Perhaps he would torment her in an even more cruel way.

Perhaps he sensed the intense gaze fixed on him from inside the room, but Marcus suddenly turned around. Sophia hadn't had time to avert her eyes, and he caught her staring at him.

But at that moment, her face was tear-streaked, and Marcus' doubts were suppressed.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Sophia quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

She then started, "Marcus, if I told you...'

"

Sophia bit her bottom lip, not daring to meet his eyes. But in the end, she gathered her courage and continued, "If one day, I had no choice but to deceive you, would you blame me for it? Would you take revenge on me? Would you... hate me?"

Marcus stared at Sophia and asked bluntly, "So, what have you deceived me about?"

Sophia hurriedly shook her head. "No, I just mean... in case it ever happens. Maybe I had no other choice. Just in case anything unforeseen happens, I want to ask for a chance to be forgiven."
