Chapter 217 Suspicion of Juliana
Juliana pursed her lips and got Sophie's implication. She wisely chose to let Sophie continue.
Seeing Juliana's expression become calm, Sophie somewhat admired Juliana. As a mother, she was very tough.
However, Sophie still had to tell her straightforwardly, "Julia, your father is a famous real estate tycoon in Athegate. You are from a wealthy family, you should know the importance of the family bloodline." "Sophie, are you suspecting me?" Juliana asked in a hushed voice. She was shadowed, with a glint in her eyes.
"Teddy took a DNA test with Arthur. As the matriarch of my family, I gotta make sure that my grandchildren are indeed blood-related to the Davies family. Julia, can you understand that?" Instead of answering, Sophie asked a question, but Juliana was unshaken.
"Sophie, are you suspecting me?" Juliana repeated her question.
"It's just a doubt." Sophie frowned slightly and sighed. "The baby is not like a premature baby..."
Before Sophie could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Juliana. "It's Arthur's idea, isn't it?"
Juliana knew that Arthur must have known Sophie's plan. Did he want to beg Lucia's forgiveness by proving that the baby is not his?
Juliana sneered.
'Never think that you can make it!'
"I mentioned it to Arthur, but he didn't agree," said Sophie, defensive of her son. "But I insist on my idea."
Juliana stared at Sophie. She didn't express her opinion but said faintly, "Sophie, I grew up in your home. We are very close, just like mother and daughter. But you just suspect me."
Sophie fell silent. Juliana's words did push her buttons.
"You do it for the sake of the Davies family. But I have my own dignity as the lady of the Knight family. If you can't feel at ease, I will take the baby back to my own home." Juliana implied that she would never agree!
"Julia..." She had expected that Juliana would refuse.
With a pang of slight guilt, she persisted, "I'm trying to make sure the baby is Arthur's. If he is, why are you resisting it?" "Are you trying to get me to talk, Sophie?" Juliana burst out laughing, "Does my refusal mean the baby isn't Arthur's?" Sophie took a step closer to Juliana and said softly, "Julia, I hope you can understand me."
"Then why can't you understand me?" Juliana took a step forward, staring sharply at Sophie as she asked in a harsh tone.
"I am the daughter of the Knight family, and Arthur and I grew up together, but now my child's identity is suspected. What makes you think I won't misunderstand you in this situation?"
"Julia ..." Sophie was determined. "I hurt you and the baby by doing this, but I have to. As long as you agree, I won't make things difficult for you no matter what happens in the future." "Sophie, should I be grateful for it?" Juliana asked Sophie and sneered.
Sophie knew that there was no point in talking about it further when Juliana was so repulsed by her suggestion.
Anyway, her purpose had been achieved, so she said, "Julia, stop being angry. I just tell it to you. You don't need to say yes now. Think about it and go to bed early tonight."
"Do you think I can fall asleep after hearing that from you?" Juliana acted like she got something on Sophie and wouldn't let her go off the hook.
Just then, a cry came from the baby pager Juliana carried with her, and she frowned.
Sophie heard it and said to her, "Go ahead and take care of the baby."
Juliana raised her eyes and gave Sophie a look before she passed her and went upstairs to take care of the children. Sophie turned around and looked at her back, with mixed feelings inside her. She knew she had gone too far. Taking the baby to do a DNA test was a humiliation for Juliana, but Sophie had to do it!
With that in mind, Sophie took a breath and got more determined.
The next day, just after dawn, Sophie woke up early to make soup for Juliana. Although she doubted the baby was not Arthur's, she cared for Juliana as usual.
As she was looking at the soup pot and thinking, Kayla suddenly came into the kitchen in a fury.
As soon as she saw Sophie, she asked in a cold voice, "Sophie, you want the baby to take a DNA test?"
Sophie looked back, only to see Kayla staring at her with an angry look on her face; it seemed Juliana had told her.
"Kayla, you and I have been close friends for many years and I believe you can understand my reasons for making this request."
"I can understand that," Kayla said with an angry look in her eyes.
"If Julia was a woman of unknown origin, you could do that, but she's my daughter! You see her grow up. Sophie, you are doing such a hurtful thing! Is there no trust between us anymore?" "Kayla, you know I didn't mean that..." Sophie had difficulty explaining it, but her mind was unshaken.
"Take a DNA test to reassure everyone."
"Reassure everyone?" Kayla rushed over to Sophie and glared at her.
"You can't be reassured that my daughter is with Arthur? Is she a woman of an unknown origin? I know my daughter well. She didn't be in a love relationship until she was with Arthur. Arthur is her crush, Now you just suspect her for no reason!"
While Kayla was talking, Juliana appeared in the kitchen doorway with the baby in her arms, staring calmly at Sophie.
'See? I am not alone. I have strong backing!'
"Kayla, you misunderstood me," seeing Kayla's angry look, Sophie felt bad and tried to calm her down. "Don't get pissed off. Let's talk slowly."
Kayla knew Sophie well. Hearing Sophie's words, Kayla knew Sophie didn't change her mind, so questioned again, "Sophie, tell me, what makes you suspect Julia?"
