Chapter 83 Stepfather
At this moment, Herry let out a loud sneeze.
Logan Morgan, driving the car, furrowed his brows tightly. "Herry, are you catching a cold?"
Herry, listless, nestled in Grace's arms, showing no signs of his usual mischievous self.
Grace gently wrapped him in her own clothes, softly saying, "He probably played too wildly at the car exhibition and caught a chill from the cold breeze."
"Quickly close the windows!" Logan commanded.
Grace reached out and pressed a button, making the car window slowly rise, blocking out the cold wind.
"Darling, have you signed the contract with the Reed Group?" Grace inquired.
Logan Morgan nodded. "The offer from the Reed Group was very good, and your daughter is married to Nathan now. I'm Nathan's father-in-law, and I should go help him at his company."
Grace smiled gratefully, looking at him with admiration. "Darling, thank you for considering Sophia so much."
"We are family, and your daughter is my daughter," Logan Morgan said. "But I heard Nathan had a wife before?"
Grace's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head, pretending to look sad, her voice filled with grievance. "I didn't want to tell you about this. Sophia has cried to me many times. She genuinely loves Nathan, but Nathan's ex-wife keeps trying to seduce him. Sophia is pregnant now and is heartbroken every day..."
"No wonder you often talk to her on the phone. She must be feeling terrible," Logan commented.
Herry snorted coldly. "Who dares to bully my sister? I'll use a knife to scratch her face!"
Logan Morgan chuckled heartily. "Haha, good boy! Darling, don't worry, Sophia is my daughter now. Nathan's company is begging me to help out, and when I visit the Reed family tomorrow, I'll warn Nathan."
Grace was moved to tears.
But she was more cunning than Sophia. After thinking for a moment, she decided to explain everything to Logan Morgan beforehand.
She chuckled lightly and said, "Darling, I want to discuss something with you."
Logan Morgan looked at her lovingly, feeling sorry for her. "Whatever you want, just say it. We are husband and wife, you don't have to be so polite."
"It's not politeness, it's gratitude," Grace wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips. "When you went to Europe, Lisa was still pregnant. That child is also your child. Shouldn't we have a private detective look for that child?" At the mention of Lisa's name, Logan Morgan's face instantly darkened.
That was the name he least wanted to face in his life.
"Grace, I know you're kind-hearted, but don't ever mention Lisa in front of me again."
Grace secretly felt pleased. "If you don't want to talk about Lisa, that's fine, but that child is your child..."
"Stop!" Logan Morgan impatiently interrupted her, his expression filled with disgust and irritation. "That bastard might not even be my child. Grace, only have Herry as my son, and Sophia can also be considered my daughter. As for the bastard Lisa had, it has nothing to do with me."
Grace's lips curled up imperceptibly. "Okay."
The next morning, Logan Morgan drove his newly bought car with Grace and Herry to the Reed family's house.
Sophia had already woken up early, dressed herself nicely, and sat in the living room waiting, while Nathan stood alone on the balcony, smoking with a stern expression.
Carol walked in, patting his back, and advised, "Nathan, I told you to appease Sophia last night. Is she still upset?"
Nathan stubbed out his cigarette, irritably tossing it to the ground and stamping it out with his foot. "I didn't appease her."
"How could you?" Carol sighed. "I know you don't like Sophia now, but she almost died. Her parents are coming today. If she complains to them, and Logan Morgan goes to work for another real estate company in anger, what will happen to our company?" Nathan was most annoyed by this situation.
He had only known Sophia's father as a security guard before, but who would have thought that her mother would remarry Logan Morgan?
He had put in so much effort and money to finally bring Logan Morgan to the company to handle the design. He never expected Logan Morgan to become Sophia's stepfather now!
It was ironic.
If Logan Morgan really valued Sophia as his stepdaughter, then Nathan wouldn't be able to shake off her.
He said, "Mom, our original designer at the company is also good."
"He's good, but can he compare to Logan Morgan? It's not a big deal if he doesn't come to our company, but if he goes to a competitor's company, it will definitely have a huge impact on our company. Nathan, I've thought about it and there's nothing wrong with Sophia.
After you two have had your
wedding, I'll move out and live on my
own."
Nathan helplessly closed his eyes. "Mom, this is our home. Why should I let you move out? I'll buy another house for Sophia to live in."
As they spoke, Sophia slowly walked over, holding her belly. As soon as she opened the balcony door, the strong smell of smoke made her quickly step back a few steps,
frowning unhappily. "Second netContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.
smoke is not good for baby, ve told you before. Can't you quit for a while?"
Today, Sophia was wearing a pure white maxi dress. Nathan sneered as soon as he saw her. Wasn't this the same outfit Emily wore on the yacht that day?
Emily had looked like a goddess in her pure white dress that day, stunning him deeply.
But unfortunately, no matter how beautiful a dress was, it needed to be matched with the right person to look good. When Sophia wore this dress, her flaws in figure and appearance were magnified, making her look even uglier.
