Chapter 50 Let's Get a Divorce!

Before coming here, I prepped myself for anything. Since I was here, no point in avoiding it.

Trusting my gut, I knocked on the door to the left. The woman who answered was Sophie Hill, the same one I saw with Ethan yesterday.

"Who are you looking for?" she asked, sounding as innocent as she looked.

Seeing her big belly, I realized she must've known Ethan longer than I had. If we were talking about who came first, I was the one who shouldn't be here.

So, I had no right to show my pain or anger in front of Sophie, nor to question anything. I just wanted the truth.

"Hi, I'm Mr. Windsor's assistant. He asked me to come talk to you because I have experience with childbirth."

Sophie looked surprised. "Which Mr. Windsor?"

I was taken aback. 'How many Mr. Windsors could there be?'

"It's Ethan!" I was sure I hadn't mistaken her for someone else since I saw her at the hospital.

"Ethy?" Sophie suddenly got it, and her frown disappeared.

That "Ethy" sounded just like the one on the phone that day. So, I guessed this pregnant woman was why he left in the pouring rain that night.

"Please come in." She smiled politely and stepped aside.

Inside, I immediately saw the bag on the sofa, the same one Ethan had brought from the maternity store.

Sophie went to pour some water, and as I sat on the sofa, I noticed a few cigarette butts in the ashtray. They were Ethan's brand. I thought he should quit smoking.

Looking around, I saw the place wasn't much different from my old house. 'Does Ethan have a thing for helping the poor?'

Then I saw a school uniform hanging on the balcony. Judging by its size, it was about the same height as Sophie. 'Could she still be a student?' This thought made me uneasy. 'Ethan wants to fulfill his grandfather's wish but doesn't marry Sophie, who's pregnant with his child. Is it because she's still young?'

She placed a glass of water in front of me and sat on the other sofa. "Have some water."

"Thanks," I said.

"Why didn't you come with Ethy? He just left," Sophie asked with a simple smile, completely believing I was Ethan's assistant.

Facing such an innocent girl, I felt that asking more questions would seem pushy. "We were supposed to come together, but I had something to handle earlier, and Mr. Windsor is very busy, so we missed each other," I said, keeping it vague. Sophie nodded. "Ethy is a very busy person." She seemed understanding.
