Aubree had picked <b>a </b>high–end dessert shop for their meeting, choosing a seat by the window<b>. </b>
Trevor came in with his arm around Sophia, and before they <b>arrived</b>, Aubree had already scoped out the <b>ce</b>.
There weren’t many people inside–mostly executives from nearbypanies having a snack. Of course, there were also <b>a </b>few people who were clearly nted there on purpose.
For example, <b>two </b><b>paparazzi </b>were sitting diagonally in front of Aubree, sneaking nces her way every <b>so </b>often. In addition, a woman in a mask and sunsses <b>was </b>sitting behind her.
The hatred in that woman’s eyes was <b>so </b>obvious that even the sunsses couldn’t hide it. It wasn’t hard to figure out who she
<b>was</b>.
Aubree smirked to herself and thought, ‘Funny how that hatred suddenly switched targets the moment Trevor walked in.
‘Guess Trevor let her out before making sure she was under control.
What do you want to eat?” Trevor asked.
“Just a ss of juice, please. I’m pregnant, so there are some things I can’t eat,” Sophia replied.
Aubree nodded understandingly.
“Just say it. what do you want from me? Why did <b>you </b>ask me out?” Aubree said bluntly.
“Come on, Aubree, don’t be so frosty. After all, we’re basically your brother and sister–inw now,” Trevor said with azy grin.
Honestly, with a face like his, even a random expression would <b>look </b>like a magazine cover.
Sophia said sincerely. “Ms. Miller, Trevor told me you <b>were </b>the <b>one </b>who helped me before. I wanted to meet you today to <b>thank </b>you in person.
“If it hadn’t been for you, I probably would’ve already decided to get rid of this baby.”
Trevor <b>gave </b><b>a </b>smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Yeah, if it weren’t for you, my sweet little sister, I wouldn’t even know I <b>was </b>going to be a dad.
Aubree frowned, making it clear she wasn’t here to y nice. “Seriously, Trevor, are you putting on <b>a </b>show <b>for </b>us <b>now</b>?
“Or is it just impossible for you to stop acting, even off–set? You know better <b>than </b><b>anyone </b>whether you actually <b>want </b>to thank <b>mne </b>or just wish I’d drop dead.”
Trevor said, looking sincerely grateful, “Come on, Aubree, you’re really breaking my heart here. No matter what, we’re family.
“After spending time with Sophia, I finally get what it feels like to have a real home. I mean it. I really do want to thank you.”
He looked genuinely <b>thankful</b>.
Trevor knew exactly what annoyed Aubree the most. Sure enough, <b>she </b><b>stood </b>up, just <b>as </b><b>impatient </b>as he expected.
<b>She </b>snapped, “<b>What </b><b>a </b>waste of time!
“If modern medicine could pull it off, I’d <b>swap </b>out all my blood in a heartbeat. You really think I want to <b>share </b><b>the </b><b>same </b>parents as you?“
As Aubree made to leave, Trevor immediately stood up and stepped in front of her, blocking her way
Sophia, who had been sitting beside him, quickly followed suit, reaching out to try and hold Aubree back. “Ms. Miller, please don’t be upsel…
As they had nned, Aubree <b>would </b>pull her hand away from Sophia, and right at that moment–even if <b>Sophia </b>didn’t want it
-Milena would <b>rush </b>over and bump into Aubree, <b>causing </b>Sophia to be shoved into the edge of the table.
And just like Trevor had predicted, everything unfolded exactly <b>as </b>nned.
Aubree yanked her <b>hand </b>free from Sophia’s grip, but in that instant, a woman suddenly burst out from diagonally behind her, lunging straight at Trevor,
“Go to hell, Trevor. You destroyed my family. I must’ve been fucking blind to ever fall for your” the woman screamed,
Milena, now without her sses and mask, <b>red </b>at Trevor with venomous hatred,
Caught off guard, Trevor stumbled into Sophia. He was so close that when they collided, Sophia took the <b>full </b>brunt of the impact right to her stomach.
Blood appeared instantly between her legs.
“My stomach. It hurts so much!” Sophia clutched her stomach, sweat beading on her forehead as she copsed to the floor, <b>her </b>face pale as a ghost.
Milena froze for a split second at the scene, then burst outughing like a maniac. “This is all karma! Trevor, you just killed your child with your <b>own </b>hands.”
Milena’s words snapped Trevor back to reality, and his face instantly went ghostly pale. He thought, ‘I hit Sophia? She lost the baby?
