Chapter 1271: Chapter 1270: How Is He Pitiful?
At the moment Sophia Wood called, Theodore Holmes had already guessed what she wanted to talk to him about. Filled with youthful impulsiveness, he couldn’t hold back his thoughts and blurted out his suspicions before she even began to speak.
Since he asked directly, Sophia Wood had no reason to hide anymore and nodded, "You guessed it right. I’m looking for you to talk about the matter between you and Easton."
One is the son of her best friend, the other is her excellent son-in-law; she didn’t want these two to be so unhappy, especially since they’re brothers of the same father.
"Go ahead, I’m listening carefully." Theodore Holmes straightened up, assuming a serious listening posture.
Sophia Wood didn’t speak immediately but stared at Theodore Holmes for a while before she slowly began, "Fabian! Easton is actually a pitiful child just like you, he..."
"How is he pitiful? He not only has biological parents but also a grandfather who adores him, and now he has such a good wife like Lily." Before Sophia Wood could finish her sentence, Theodore Holmes couldn’t take it and interrupted her emotionally.
Seeing Theodore Holmes so agitated, Sophia Wood knew he hadn’t moved past his previous resentment, and it seemed meeting him today was the right decision.
"You only see him happy now, but what about before?" She paused, noticing he had no intention to interrupt, and continued: "When he was just a few years old, his biological parents left him at his grandfather’s place. That little boy watched his own mother taking care of and being good to others. How do you think he felt then?"
As for whether Amelia Linton was good to Theodore Holmes, she knew little, but Theodore Holmes was indeed raised by Amelia Linton. Just based on this, she greatly admired Amelia Linton, as she herself would find it very difficult to do if she were in the same situation.
Previously, Sophia Wood always thought Ivy Shaw’s tragedy was Amelia Linton’s doing, but upon reconsideration, Ivy Shaw’s tragedy was her own doing. If she hadn’t been involved with the married Fabian Holmes, the subsequent events would never have happened.
The two women were strangers to each other. If not for Fabian Holmes, they might never have met in their lifetimes. How could two strangers harbor hatred? Without hatred, nothing would have happened.
Because of Ivy Shaw, Sophia Wood held a grudge against Amelia Linton in the past, but after over two years of interaction with Amelia Linton, she felt Amelia wasn’t as malicious or wicked as she had imagined.
Upon hearing this, Theodore Holmes fell into silence, staring down at the teacup on the table, neither looking at her nor responding.
Seeing him silently staring at the teacup, Sophia knew her words had reached him, and decided to seize the opportunity to reveal more. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"It was his own mother that raised you, and over the years, how much she neglected him, you should be clearer than me. And your father, there’s no need for me to elaborate on how biased he is towards you, right?" Sophia had noticed Fabian Holmes’ favoritism towards Theodore Holmes from events over two years ago. It was obvious that Theodore was in the wrong, yet Fabian Holmes continuously criticized Easton.
Even because of dissatisfaction with Easton sending Theodore to prison, Fabian Holmes hadn’t actively contacted Easton in over two years. As an outsider, Sophia was somewhat indignant, let alone Easton himself.
