True Love Deserves a Second Chance
Chapter 180 She's Pregnant

When Alexander questioned her, Sophia was furious, thinking, 'I'm still a virgin, and he doubts me like this?'

She was about to lash out but remembered Joey's advice to stay calm.

Holding back her anger, she glared at Alexander and said, "Why do you care whose it is? Do you really need to know whose child I'm carrying?"

Alexander's face darkened. He grabbed her chin, eyes cold. "Sophia, you're a fast learner when it comes to bad habits. Now you're sleeping around and want a bastard child too?"

Sophia couldn't hold back anymore. She kicked him in the crotch, gritting her teeth. "Who I sleep with and whose child I have is none of your business. If you're so ashamed of me, let's just pretend we don't know each other!" She got out of the car and left without looking back.

Alexander, in pain, watched her leave and angrily punched the car door, cursing.

Sophia left the hospital, got into a taxi, and fumed. "Alexander, that jerk, actually thinks so poorly of me. Damn arranged marriage! Only a fool would marry him."

Still angry, she walked into Joey's room.

Joey noticed immediately and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Sophia yelled, "It was Alexander. He saw me buying a pregnancy test and thought I was having a child with another man. It made me so mad."

Joey smiled and brushed her hair. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for causing you trouble. I'll explain to Mr. Cross when I get a chance."

"No need to explain to him. He's not my boyfriend. Hurry up and take the test. I'm so nervous." Sophia handed the pregnancy test to Joey and pushed her into the bathroom. Sophia paced outside the door. "Joey, how's it going? Are you done?"

"I'm too nervous, I can't pee."

"Don't worry, take your time. If you really can't, I'll get you some water." Both were extremely nervous, knowing how important this was to Joey.

A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

Sophia immediately walked in and grabbed the test from Joey's hand.

Seeing the two bright red lines, she screamed in excitement and hugged Joey tightly.

Tears fell from Sophia's eyes. "Joey, you're pregnant. You have Sebastian's child."

Sophia knew how much Joey longed for this child. The biggest regret between her and Sebastian was her difficulty in conceiving.

It was a scar in Joey's heart. Now, everything was fine. She had the child, and she and Sebastian would never be apart again.

But Joey wasn't as excited as expected.

With tears in her eyes, Joey looked at Sophia. "Sophia, I've already broken up with Sebastian."

"What breakup? What's going on? Why break up when everything is fine?" Sophia immediately pulled her to sit down, stroking her head.

Joey's eyes were wet as she looked at Sophia. "I'm scared Cordelia will hurt the people around me again. First, it was my dad, now my great-grandfather. Who knows, next time it might be you. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of me. Cordelia just doesn't want me with Sebastian. If I break up with him, she'll leave me alone."

Sophia cursed angrily. "Why didn't that witch die in the car accident last time? Even TV drama mother-in-laws aren't this bad. Joey, if you want to break up, just do it. You still have me. I'll help you raise the child. Nowadays, you can't rely on men; you can only rely on yourself."

Joey felt torn. If Sebastian knew she was pregnant, he'd be thrilled. But if Cordelia found out, it would be a disaster for her and the baby. Joey calmed herself. "Sophia, you can't tell anyone about this, okay?"

Sophia got it immediately. "Even if I don't say anything, what are you gonna do when your belly starts showing? You can't hide it forever."

"I've thought about it. If I'm really pregnant, I'll go abroad. Staying out of Cordelia's sight is the only way to keep the baby safe. Otherwise, Isabella or Cordelia won't let me have the child peacefully. Before, I wasn't afraid because I was alone. Now, I have a baby, so I have to be cautious."

Seeing her determined yet pained expression, Sophia hugged her tightly. "Why is your relationship with Sebastian so rocky? You finally got together, and now his mom is interfering. Now that you finally have a child, you have to sneak around. Have you decided which country to go to? I don't feel safe with you going alone; I want to go with you."

Joey shook her head. "No, your career is just starting to take off. I can't drag you down. I'll take my dad with me. He's not in good health, and I can't leave him here alone."

From the moment she suspected she was pregnant until now, it had only been a little over an hour, and she had already thought of all her plans.

Sophia couldn't help but admire Joey's calmness in critical moments.

She patted Joey's head. "Even though the test shows you're pregnant, you still need a blood test. City B is full of Cordelia's spies. After the New Year, I'll take you back to City C. My cousin is an obstetrician. She can give you a thorough check-up to see if the baby is okay, and then we'll make further plans."

Sophia usually seemed carefree, but she was very decisive in critical moments. She understood the significance of this child to Joey and was determined to help her protect it.

As the New Year approached, Joey finished her current cases and didn't plan to take on new ones. She told Julian about her plan to go abroad.

She asked him to rearrange the law firm's business. Julian didn't object. After all, he had seen the harm Joey had suffered recently. He also hoped she could leave here temporarily to have a fresh start.

After work, Joey went to the mall. She planned to visit Sophia's house for the New Year, and Harold was also in City C. She wanted to buy some gifts for them.

When she walked to the baby clothing section, she couldn't help but stop. Seeing the pink little clothes inside, a warm feeling instantly rose in her heart.

She was just about to step in and take a look when she heard a familiar voice behind her. "Ms. Blackwood, are you pregnant?"
