Chapter 270 Better Late than Never
Chapter 270 Better Late than Never
Although this voice was a bit different, it still felt familiar.
Sky, on the other end of the line, froze for a moment and slowly said, "Sophie."
He lived with her for so many years, so he did not mishear her voice.
"Honey...I miss you." Sophie addressed Sky as "Honey" like before, but it was very ironic to Sky and hurt his ears.
"Sophie, we are over. Please don't address me that way." Sky clearly reminded her again.
"But we haven't signed the divorce agreement yet." Sophie bit her lip and made a point.
"It'll happen sooner or later." Sky was now anxious to get a divorce right away.
However, Sophie was pregnant, and the court would not allow a divorce during the woman's pregnancy. All he had to do now was endure until she gave birth. If the child was not his, then he would be able to shake her off completely.
He felt extremely sick when he thought that he and Sophie still had a legal relationship as husband and wife.
"As long as we don't sign the divorce agreement, you are my husband." Sophie always refused to face reality and persisted with her pitiful dream.
"What's so fun about it?" Sky frowned.
"Honey, I miss you. I want to see you." Sophie caressed her slightly bumpy lower abdomen. "I went for a pregnancy check-up today. The doctor said that our baby is doing great and is very healthy. It's just that I am a little malnourished... Honey, can you come to visit me? Take a look at our baby."
Although Sophie was kicked out of the Tanner family, Sky transferred money to her account as promised every month. He did not treat her badly at all.
Malnutrition... How ridiculous!

"Sophie, don't call me anymore!" Sky did not want to say one more word to her. If she wanted to go crazy, then she could do it alone. He did not want to keep her company.
"Honey, don't hang up!" Sophie was not done speaking, but the other party had already hung up.
Rose looked at her phone screen, which was back to her home page. His ruthlessness gave her a great deal of heartache.
She held her phone while her tears kept falling like broken beads.
She gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and made a call, but the other party hung up.
When she called again, the line was busy. She kept calling, and the line kept being busy…
It seemed that he had blacklisted her, so her calls could not go through.
Sophie still did not give up. She typed a message and sent it to him.
Sky was very upset because of Sophie. He lazily read the message until he saw the word "Rose" and finally became anxious. He picked up his phone and tapped on the message to take a look.
[Honey, you told me not to call you, so I'll be obedient. I'll call Rose instead.]
Sky threw his phone on the desk out of anger and smashed the desk with his fist.
Sophie dared threaten him. Did she really think that she could threaten him?
At this time, he heard a knock on his office door and calmed down. "Come in."
The person who opened the door was Rex. He placed a pile of documents on Sky's desk. "Mr. Tanner, I finally found out the real donor that year was Miss Rose Linder..."
Sky's hand trembled while holding a document. His face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"How is it possible?" Sky could not accept this fact.
"I couldn't believe it either, so I only dared tell you after verifying." Rex also looked incredulous. "The document you are holding contains the clues from that time."
Sky hurriedly looked at the document. Rex also explained, "It wasn't easy for me to find out that a classmate of mine was at the luxurious maternity hospital where Miss Rose stayed at the time. He remembered that Miss Rose asked them to give the umbilical cord blood to her sister, who was Miss Sophie Linder."
"And this umbilical cord blood is the one that Miss Sophie used to save you, which means it belonged to Miss Rose's daughter. It's Miss Rose who saved you."
"Who is the biological father of that child?" Sky asked.
"I don't have a clue yet because Miss Lin's activities before admission have not been found yet. I only know that she suddenly disappeared and then checked into this hospital before delivery and gave birth to the baby. Then you were there when she was discharged from the hospital..."
Sky held the document tightly. It had more detailed records.
It turned out that he mistook his saviour for someone else. He mistakenly treated his saviour as his betrayer and instead, turned a fake saviour into his wife.
He was the world's biggest fool, the biggest joke.
At this moment, Sky felt waves of emotions sweeping and surging. When the momentum passed, it felt as if he was sapped of energy and was only an empty shell, too weak to even hold the document.
The truth of this incident caused a huge shock to his body and mind, making him unable to immediately face such a cruel situation with a clear mind.
"Hahaha..." Sky finally laughed after a while.
The more he laughed, the louder he was and the more miserable he felt.
The rim of his eyes turned red from sorrow and grief. The woman he had hated for so long saved his life...
And what did he do to her!
He deserted and betrayed her in public, proposed to her sister, and trampled on her dignity!
He even watched as their parents scolded and humiliated her and media reporters slandered her!
He loved her so much, but he became the culprit who pushed her away.
"Ah—" Sky angrily swept the documents on the desk to the floor.
"Mr. Tanner, you were not aware, so don't blame yourself too much." Rex looked at Sky's red eyes and could only persuade him this way.
Sky pushed against the table with both hands as his chest rose and fell violently because of anger. "If only I was more sensible back then and listened to her explanation! Do you know how much I hate myself now? It was me who caused her so much suffering! It was me! I let her down! I'm just a bastard!"
Sky raised his hand and hit his left atrium fiercely as he blamed himself and felt guilty.
"Mr. Tanner, if you feel apologetic toward Miss Rose, then go and make up to her now." Rex felt bad for Sky. No one thought that the truth would be like this. Anyone would have a hard time accepting it.
"Make up to her? She doesn't need it anymore... and I've forever lost the right to." Sky slumped back into the executive chair.
"Mr. Tanner, it's better late than never. Besides, Miss Rose once loved you so much... and even gave birth to a child to save you." Rex thought that there was still hope. "If you don't want to part from Miss Rose and truly want to get her back, then go for it."
