In the past, no matter how jealous or mad I got, I always backed off whenever Sophie threatened divorce.
But this time was different. I stood my ground, and that made Sophie confused.
Connor let out a sigh. "Sophie, why don't you just head home with Bradley? It's just a bet. I can deal with winning or losing on my own. It gets lonely, sure, but Bradley can't keep getting jealous like this. Maybe we should cool it for a while."
His words hit hard, and Sophie's face fell.
Sophie snapped, "Bradley, Connor's just had some bad luck with his business, and he's only in town for a few days. I just wanted to watch a soccer game with him. Stop making a scene. I'm at my breaking point.
And that 100,000 dollars? I took it from my mom.
You always said it was a gift for her. The moment you gave it, it wasn't yours anymore.
If I'm paying anyone back, it's my mom. Get that straight."
I said, "But all my paychecks go to you..."
"You chose to do that," Sophie retorted, her face emotionless.
Then, I forced myself up and staggered back to the hospital.
By then, Julia's surgery was nearly done.
The doctor hurriedly opened the operating room door, telling me Julia wanted to see me one last time.
