Free Web NovelChapter 1377: Chapter 1371: The Old Witch Titus Zane Mentioned
"It’s nothing," Sophia forced a smile. Titus Zane continued to ask with concern, "Did that old witch bother you again?"
As Titus Zane’s words fell, from the sofa next to them...
Evander Lancaster suddenly started coughing.
Felix Shaw didn’t know what happened yesterday and was completely puzzled, as was Mia Foster. At this moment, she was very curious about who the old witch Titus was talking about.
Only Nathan Moore was completely calm, even revealing a smile at the corner of his lips. They say that a woman’s character resembles that of her husband. It seemed his woman was subtly influenced by him, even her words were so sharp.
Old witch? That’s a fitting description, although it sounded awkward. Big kudos!
"Titus Zane, who is the old witch?" Mia Foster couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity. The shrewd woman probably had a guess...
Except that Evander Lancaster was also there, she felt that Titus Zane probably wasn’t referring to his mother.
"Isn’t the old witch just—!"
"Sister Zane!"
Titus Zane’s words were interrupted by Sophia’s urgent voice. It wasn’t because of Sophia’s reminder, but because it would be better for the person involved to resolve this matter themselves, after all, he’s an outsider.
Mia Foster chuckled softly and instinctively glanced at the two men on the neighboring sofa.
Evander Lancaster looked embarrassed, while Nathan Moore was tapping his foot restlessly, seemingly pleased with his woman’s performance.
"Eh? Why do I feel like there’s a lot of information here? Did I miss something?"
Felix Shaw asked with a half-smiling expression, just about to probe further when Nicholas Croft walked in holding Sophie Foster’s hand.
The originally harmonious atmosphere was disrupted by the arrival of these two.
Both Titus Zane and Mia Foster liked Sophie Foster, and now watching Nicholas Croft holding this "artificial beauty’s" hand and coming over to congratulate, the two women simultaneously put on a cold face, not even bothering to greet them.
"Big brother’s here?"
"Big brother..."
The three men in the other sofa all turned their heads to greet Nicholas Croft, the latter only gave a brief acknowledgment, his expression didn’t look great either.
At home, Sophie Foster had been throwing tantrums at him; on the way there were several times she almost opened the car door to jump out, saying that after changing her face, Sister Zane and Sister Foster hated her.
Nicholas Croft tried to persuade her, saying that once they knew she was Sophie Foster, they would be kind to her, but this little woman was caught in her own stubborn thoughts... Therefore, even though Nicholas Croft had brought her here by force, she still wore a cold expression, and seeing the "artificial beauty" acting like the world owed her something, Titus Zane felt even more disgusted.
With a sigh, Titus simply turned his face to the side, too lazy to even take a look. Titus, presently pampered by Nathan Moore, had quite a temper.
"Baby, Uncle will help you change your shoes." Before entering, Sophie Foster had threatened Nicholas Croft not to call her by name, so Nicholas had to continue calling her ’Baby.’
Seeing the reactions of Titus Zane and Mia Foster, Sophie Foster’s mood fell even lower, her icy expression was her mask, and also a cover for her own inferiority complex.
After changing into slippers, Nicholas Croft led Sophie Foster inside, his gentle voice understanding her thoughts, "Baby, don’t you really like babies? Now Sister Zane has a little baby, do you want to touch it?"
The topic of babies was always a sensitive one for Sophie Foster. Ever since returning from her hometown, her condition had noticeably improved, she hadn’t had any relapses. And during this time, Nicholas Croft was trying hard, on one hand to solve a year-long suppressed desire, and on the other, to get pregnant with another baby as soon as possible.
When Nicholas brought Sophie here, he didn’t mention Titus Zane’s pregnancy, only saying it was a gathering. But now, hearing that Titus Zane was pregnant, Sophie suddenly became a bit dazed.
Being led by the hand by Nicholas Croft to Titus Zane.
"You can touch the baby in Sister Zane’s belly, she won’t refuse."
Suddenly, Titus Zane looked at Nathan Moore. The latter not only did not refuse, but also suggested.
"Honey, take baby Croft to the room, it’s not convenient here."
Titus Zane...
She glared at Nathan, with Nicholas pulling the artificial beauty in front, it was hard to refuse face-to-face, so she had to get up, tell Mia Foster and Sophia, "You two sit down, I’ll take her upstairs," with a cold face, then headed towards the stairs without waiting for Sophie.
Watching Titus Zane’s obviously unhappy back, Sophie Foster pursed her lips without moving.
"Go on, Sister Zane still likes you." Nicholas Croft patted Sophie on the shoulder, she turned to him, with encouragement in his eyes, on the other side, Nathan Moore also said, "Hurry up, Sister Zane was sad for a long time when you were gone."
Sophie Foster looked back at Nicholas Croft again, who nodded to her confidently, only then did she follow behind Titus Zane up the stairs.
Mia Foster tilted her head slightly, watching Sophie Foster’s somewhat hesitant back disappear around the corner with Titus, then uncertainly said, "Little Sophie?"
Nicholas Croft sat down with the cuffs of his trousers in his hands, a slight smile on his lips, "Yes."
Mia Foster...
With a hint of surprise mixed with helplessness, she raised her eyebrows, "Big brother, your secrecy work is so... you didn’t reveal anything to us at all. We were sad for so long because of it!"
"It’s something that couldn’t be helped, worried that Hannah Hargrave might do something harmful to her again, so we had to change her identity." Nicholas Croft offered a simple explanation, the people present were all smart, they understood what he meant.
Of course, there were also those who were innocently naive, and that was Felix Shaw without a doubt.
"Honey, do you mean..."
"You fool! Even though you knew Lara before me, can’t you tell that girl is little Sophie?" Mia Foster was both amused and annoyed, her man was really incredibly dim-witted, if she weren’t so shrewd, he might get sold and still help the seller count money.
"No way, how could it be?"
Felix Shaw was still unwilling to believe it. Sophie Foster was lively and cute, and this baby Croft...a typical ice beauty, two completely different types, how could she be Sophie Foster?
Nicholas Croft slowly peeled an orange, talking about Sophie with unhidden tenderness.
"Third brother, you should be thankful that God paired you with such a smart woman like Mia. Otherwise, with your IQ..."
Nicholas didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
Although Sophia Hamilton had been quietly listening, she too understood the truth of the situation. Felix Shaw saw that Nathan Moore and Evander Lancaster didn’t seem surprised, and quickly reacted, "Second brother, fourth brother, you two knew, didn’t you?"
The two of them, as if by tacit agreement, looked at him simultaneously, without saying anything, but their eyes clearly communicated the message.
Felix Shaw...
"Honey, am I really that dumb?"
"What do you think?"
Receiving a disdainful look from his beloved wife, Felix Shaw was instantly hurt, whimpering inside, rejected by his wife...
