Second Chances Don't Come Easy Chapter 44
Xavier shook his head in response."Sorry, I didn't get to see his looks clearly. All I could see was his silhouette. He was wearing a black cap. He was very tall and domineering as well. He gave off a pretty unfriendly first impression, that was for sure."James' demeanor had been too overbearing and strong. That was why Xavier still remembered him vividly, despite only having glanced at him once.The word "unfriendly" was an understatement. Honestly speaking, Xavier had a feeling that James was extremely dangerous."An unfriendly first impression?"Meanwhile, Sophie began mentally filtering through Mitchell's friends who had grown up with him. She wanted to see if any of them fit the description.Back then, Mitchell had been very nice to her, but he hadn't liked taking her out with him whenever he hung out with his friends since she was younger than them. During the few times Sophie had gotten to hang out with him and his friends, she hadn't been able to blend into their circ

Sophie added Henry's contact number immediately before sending a text message to him on WhatsApp.At first, she thought Henry wouldn't reply so soon. She didn't expect to see her message immediately receive two blue checkmarks, indicating Henry had seen her message, followed by a quick greeting from him.Sophie was surprised, but she quickly thought that Xavier might have informed Henry in advance. More warmth surged into her heart at that thought.Soon, she drafted her request and sent it to Henry.Henry's text came in soon enough. "One week," he wrote.Did that mean he would get back to her in one week?Henry sure was a man of a few words. Wasn't he going to negotiate the price with Sophie, at the very least?Sophie took the initiative to ask, "I'm not in a hurry, so please investigate this matter as thoroughly as you can. How much does a request like this cost, by the way?"Henry just texted back a number. "1000."Sophie had never hired a private investigator before, so she

Sophie felt as though a jackhammer was ramming through her. Every time Mitchell thrust into her, it was deeper than the one before, though there were times he switched it up with shallow nudges.She couldn't deal with the irregular rhythm of the devil's tango at all. All she could do was go with Mitchell's flow, now completely lost in the sea of desire.When Sophie finally toughed it out to the end of the first round, she went completely limp on the bed. She wanted nothing more than to sleep the night away, yet Mitchell was bent on starting round two with her.In the end, he succeeded in dragging Sophie into yet another long tango of lust and desire. To her dismay, the second round was even more brutal and long-lasting than the first one.It wasn't until Sophie couldn't endure it anymore that she finally lost consciousness. Only then did everything go back to normal.…By the time Sophie woke up, it was already the next morning. The moment she tried to move, she felt a wave of

Sophie could hear Mitchell's low chuckle coming from outside the blanket. "It's not like you haven't seen me in my morning glory. What's there to be shy about?""I don't care! I want you to get dressed right now!" "I'm done," Mitchell replied.Really?Sophie poked her head out of the covers with one eye cracked open. She took a secretive peek at Mitchell afterward.He was fully dressed.Good.Sophie sighed in relief before putting down the blanket.Mitchell didn't tease her anymore. Instead, he walked out of the room, though he didn't leave right away.He stood at the doorway and listened to how quiet the room had become for a moment. Sounds of clothes rustling against each other soon drifted into his ear. It was a tell-tale sign that Sophie had gotten out of bed.Mitchell's eyes darkened. All he felt was mixed feelings.A while later, he finally closed the door and left.Meanwhile, Sophie didn't realize that Mitchell had lingered at the doorway for some time. She got up a

"Don't you know the reason why? Granny has always hoped for us to have a child together," Mitchell said in a matter-of-fact tone.Sophie looked down at the table. Her eyes had already become dull.It wasn't Gertrude's first time proclaiming that she wanted a great-grandchild.In fact, she had been forcing Sophie to seduce Mitchell time and time again over the past three years just so they could have a baby together as soon as possible.But every time Sophie carried out her mission, Mitchell had always pushed her away coldly. There were even times when he had mocked and ridiculed her relentlessly.Why had he suddenly given in to Gertrude's demands?Mitchell waited for a long time, yet Sophie never answered his question. The dining room's atmosphere became eerily silent as a result.He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience soon flickering across his eyes."What? You don't want to have a baby with me?"Mitchell had thought Sophie wouldn't object to that suggestion. After all, th

Sophie's heart didn't race out of joy or uneasiness.She had spent her whole life yearning for precious treasure. Just as she had been starting to despair and think that she would never be able to obtain it, someone had suddenly placed it right before her.The rush of elation and surprise washing over Sophie's senses was so strong that she felt uneasy. She was scared that everything would turn out to be a lie.How could it feel so unrealistic?This feeling continued to plague Sophie until Mitchell came home to pick her up.When Sophie opened the car door to see him sitting in the back seat, a sense of realism was finally restored to her heart."Why are you here? Didn't you tell me that Martin would come pick me up?""I just happened to have some free time on my hands. Since we're attending the banquet together, I thought I might as well pick you up on the way there."There was a laptop sitting on Mitchell's lap. His fingers danced across the keyboard swiftly—a telltale indicati

Henry was the one who texted Sophie. His WhatsApp name only consisted of one letter—H.Sophie's heart skipped a beat out of anxiety. Her first instinct was to glance at Mitchell, who was sitting next to her.Upon noticing that he wasn't looking her way, she finally texted Henry back. "What do you mean?"H: "I just started my investigation, and I can already feel that someone's actively stopping me from continuing it."Sophie: "Are you saying that you got found out?"H: "Well, most people wouldn't go so far to protect their own online data."Sophie: "So, what you're saying is that someone's protecting Mandy? And that person might be powerful?"H: "It could be an individual or an organization."Sophie: "Okay. I got it. I think that should be all. Don't investigate Mandy anymore. Thanks."Once she was done texting, she put away her phone.Since Mitchell had already decided to let go of Mandy, whatever happened to her would have nothing to do with him and Sophie.In that case, i

Had Mitchell just referred to Sophie as his wife?Didn't he dislike her and refuse to admit her role as his wife this whole time?Could it be that the news they had received in the past was all fake?Everyone's opinion of Sophie changed drastically. Meanwhile, Sophie could only stare at Mitchell's cold-looking side profile. For a moment, she felt dazed and couldn't think straight.What did he just say?He just called her "his wife". Wife… His wife…Gertrude's eyes glinted, though she quickly reverted to her normal demeanor. She smiled and beckoned at Mitchell and Sophie to come over."Mitch, Sophie, you're here. Come, sit next to me."Her words finally shattered the weird atmosphere that had previously filled the manor.Mitchell's oppressive air dissipated in an instant."Granny," he greeted as he led Sophie to Gertrude's side. Then, they took their seats next to her.The moment Mitchell and Sophie sat down, they heard a dissatisfied huff coming from someone else."I su

In the basement, Sophie slowly opened her eyes."Where… is this place? Am I… still alive?" she thought.She couldn't see things clearly as her vision was blurry. She could only see the spots of light above her head, and she found the light dazzling.Her pupils shrank to protect her eyes from the light. It took her a while before her vision became clear again.Yet, she could still see nothing.She tried to sit up to see where she was but found out that she couldn't move her body.She had no strength at all.These powerless, helpless, and hopeless feelings reminded her of everything that had happened before she fell unconscious.Her baby, Mandy, and… Mitchell.She couldn't forget the scene where the man had left with Mandy in his arms and how she was left in that cold pool of blood!She immediately lost hope, thinking it was better for her to die since her baby was gone. Mitchell had abandoned her, too.Sophie wondered what was the point of staying alive."Beep… Beep…"A lou

There wouldn't be any country's laws that allowed such a drug to be released.However, upon hearing such horrifying side effects, the woman didn't hesitate at all before she said, "Use it on her."Although the man in a white coat was the one who proposed the idea, he was stunned by the woman's ruthless attitude."Once this medicine is used on her, there's no turning back… What if—" He tried to dissuade her.The woman coldly interrupted him, "Just use it. I'll take the responsibility if anything happens."Listening to the words, the man in a white coat stopped speaking and nodded. "Understood."He was just following orders. The result and the patient's life weren't his responsibilities. It was such a pity, though. Looking at the woman's pale yet charming face on the operating table, he could only sigh. He didn't even know what he was lamenting about.The woman got what she wanted and left.It was also dark outside. Followed by the sound of the door opening, the wall lamps we

Harold sounded worried on the phone.There was an immediate change in Mitchell's expression when he heard Harold's words. "What do you mean by 'missing'?""Earlier tonight, Ms. Sophie suddenly rushed out and drove away. I thought she might have something to settle. But after waiting all night, Ms. Sophie didn't return. I tried to call her but the call couldn't get through," Harold explained the situation briefly.Mitchell's restless feeling had reached its peak at this moment."Got it." He hung up the phone and left the hospital.In the emergency room, Mandy was still in a coma, having no idea that Mitchell had left.Although she was the one who had planned everything, she stabbed herself forcefully to make it seem more convincing. Besides, she stabbed herself a little longer before Mitchell arrived to show that she had suffered from excessive blood loss. Although her life was not in danger at the moment, her condition wasn't good either. On the other side, Sophie was in a mo

She couldn't wait longer to be saved. However, the phone in front of her was still dialing. Mitchell didn't pick up her call.He chose Mandy.Sophie suddenly tasted a bitter saltiness in her mouth.At that moment, she realized that she was crying.She raised her teary and blurry eyes. Through the mist, she saw Mitchell lifting Mandy, who was lying on the ground, outside. That cold man looked worried."Mitch, you're finally here…" She heard Mandy's weak yet joyful voice."Stop talking. Let me take you to the hospital now."She also heard the man's voice which was slow yet tense.She struggled to make a hoarse sound and silently called the man's name, hoping he could notice her behind the wall. And their child…However, that man, who had said he wanted to live happily and have a child with her, was only worried about Mandy in his arms at the moment. He lifted Mandy and hurriedly left the warehouse without even looking in her direction.She could even clearly spot her glasse

She wondered if she would die there that day. Sophie had no idea what others would think before they died. Right now, she could only think about the baby inside her. That poor, barely three-month-old baby, who didn't even have the chance to see the world.She thought it was all her fault.She wouldn't have fallen into Mandy's trap if she had been more careful. Her baby wouldn't have died tragically with her.What if there was a chance to turn back time, would she still risk anything to come and save Mitchell?As Sophie was thinking, she realized that if she was given another chance, she might have done the same thing.She couldn't bear to watch Mitchell being harmed. Even if it was just a possibility.If that was the case, she had no regrets.It was just that if she could turn back time, she hoped that the baby wouldn't choose to be her child again.She wasn't a good mother, for she had failed to protect the baby.If the baby chose someone else as the mother, that person w

"Don't worry. Didn't you just hear it? Mitch will be here soon.""Mitch… Mitchell…"Sophie suddenly felt that there was still hope when she heard Mitchell would be there soon.He would definitely save their child."Mitchell… Mitch… Please come as soon as possible…" she muttered secretly. She had never been so eager for Mitchell to appear in front of her as she was at the moment.She didn't even realize why Mitchell, who was supposed to still be unconscious, would be able to answer Mandy's call.She only hoped that Mitchell would arrive sooner and save her baby.Mandy was extremely jealous as she saw the glint of hope in Sophie's eyes. She couldn't fathom what right Sophie had that made her deserve such special treatment from Mitchell.Sophie was just a lowly orphan.

In a private room in a hotel, Mitchell watched the people, who were still chatting and toasting at the dining table. Feeling annoyed, he slightly furrowed his brows.For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy since just now. He felt like something was about to happen.It happened that he had to entertain several important customers that day.When the conversation paused, he told them he was going to smoke and left the private room.Leaning against the wall in the corridor, he rubbed his forehead to reduce the uneasy feeling.

She swayed and only managed to glance at Mandy before she completely lost consciousness...The tall man was gone when Sophie woke up.She was bound with ropes, surrounded by high piles of debris. She seemed to be kept at the back of the abandoned warehouse.Sophie heard a voice in front of her when she was still looking around. "So you're awake."Only then did she notice Mandy was standing not far in front of her.Seeing that Sophie had opened her eyes, Mandy slowly walked toward her. She squatted down in front of Sophie and sized the latter up.Her gaze stopped at Sophie's belly.Sensing that, Sophie instinctively curled her body, trying to protect her belly.It was only then that she realized the pain in her abdomen.She felt like something was about to detach from her body. This feeling filled her with sudden intense panic and unease.Sophie desperately prayed that her baby could stay strong and promised to keep it safe. "You're pregnant," Mandy suddenly said. She sounde

Sophie drove to the address Mandy had sent her. It was an old, abandoned warehouse.Sophie had no time to think about anything else, so she pushed open the door and walked into the warehouse.Mandy had been waiting inside. She chuckled when she saw Sophie walk in. "I didn't expect that you'd actually come to meet me."Sophie frowned, finding that Mandy's words were somewhat strange. She suppressed her doubts and looked around, but she saw no one else.She wasn't sure whether to be disappointed or relieved.After all, Mitchell wouldn't be in danger as long as she got to calm Mandy down."How do you want to end things between us?" Sophie asked while standing tall to look at Mandy on an old abandoned chair.Mandy suddenly asked, "Do you remember that bet I told you?""What?" Sophie couldn't fully react."I had a bet with you to see whether Mitch cared about you or me," Mandy said.Sophie pursed her lips while remaining silent.She didn't understand why Mandy would bring up th
