Chapter 1015 - 1011: A Scam, Oh, a Scam
She sat on the sofa for about a quarter of an hour, then suddenly stood up abruptly."No, I still have to abort this child."
As soon as she said this, the other three people in the living room were all stunned.
Sophie Smith was surprised. Just now in the room when she persuaded her to abort the child, Eva Miller was still hesitant and unwilling to do so, yet in just a few minutes, she changed her mind again?
In fact, the ones truly shocked by Eva Miller’s words were the brothers Asher Land and Luke Land.
"Little Chili, you can’t abort the child."
"Why not?" Eva Miller sighed softly. "I can’t let the child be born and grow up in an incomplete family, can I?"
How could it be incomplete? The biological father of the child was standing right in front of her, wasn’t he?
"You should reconsider the idea of aborting the child," said Asher Land.
Sophie Smith was a bit baffled and confused—what did this have to do with Asher Land? Why was he stepping in to stop her?
Sophie Smith was about to say something when Asher Land made a gesture for her to be silent.
"If you think it’s difficult for you to raise the child as a woman alone, you can... hand the child over to me, or my brother," he said.
Sophie Smith became more and more puzzled.
Eva Miller was equally bewildered, feeling as if the Land brothers seemed interested in the child inside her?
Worried that he hadn’t been clear enough, Asher Land directly spoke again.
"You can’t abort this child; you must keep it."
As a matter of fact, Asher Land’s words were enough to intimidate Eva Miller.
In the end, Eva Miller understood that it was a carefully crafted scheme, a trap!
...
In the car.
Sophie Smith finally asked Asher Land the question that had been lingering in her mind.
"Why don’t you let Eva abort the child? Her career is in its prime, and once the child is born, it might face the absence of a father. I think for her, aborting it is the best solution."
"A miscarriage causes harm to the body, don’t you know that?"
Asher Land’s gaze rested on the straight road ahead, with a faint frown, as if he was recalling the scene of her first miscarriage.
Sophie Smith felt a bit lost. She didn’t know what would be the best choice for Eva Miller.
"Anyway, you should try to talk to her lately, so she doesn’t abort the child."
Although she couldn’t understand why Asher Land wanted to do this, Sophie Smith still agreed.
"Once her child is born, the Land Family will fully support its upbringing, so you really don’t need to worry about all those other things. The child will grow up in the best environment."
"Asher Land, truthfully, you’re a bit strange?" Sophie Smith turned her head, staring at him as he focused on driving. "Are you hiding something from me? Why are you so attentive to Eva’s matters?"
"She’s your best friend, and she’s the woman my second brother likes. Is it wrong for me to care about her?"
Asher Land’s calm rhetorical question suppressed all of Sophie Smith’s doubts, and indeed, it seemed there was nothing wrong with his actions.
"Your friend is pregnant, so isn’t it time for you to consider having one too?" Asher Land’s gaze fell on her flat belly. "Having two together won’t feel so lonely."
