Chapter 288 Babys Father (2/2)

e teacup and sipped the tea slowly, her hands steady despite the turmoil in her heart.

Faced with Amelia's lack of interest on the subject, Sasha continued on, ”So... Lucian has finally acknowledged the baby in my belly as his.”

Her hands caressed her still-flat belly, and her lips appeared to be perpetually upturned by a pleased smile.

Amelia presented a calm facade that did not reflect the conflict inside her.

”I'm very glad to hear that. Congratulations, Sasha!” Amelia said with a slight smile, placing her teacup back in its original place with not the slightest hint of tremble. She resolved not to give the other woman the satisfaction of getting a reaction from her!

Sasha laughed coyly, flaunting her triumph. ”Lucian isn't a heartless person. Do you think he could ignore his own flesh and blood?”

”Yes, Lucian is a kind person. If he actually were heartless, he probably would have abandoned his wife and child long before now, what with all sorts of temptations that could be found just about everywhere.” Amelia so badly wanted to ignore Sasha because anything she would say would probably fall on deaf ears, anyway. Even so, she couldn't stop herself from delivering that insult.

Sasha quickly realized what Amelia meant, and her face went pale with fury.

With a slight smile on her face, Amelia marshaled on, ”Even though certain situations are unavoidable, I believe nothing you do can ruin our family.” She was glad that she actually sounded more confident than she felt.

However, Sasha didn't believe her at all.

”Keep deluding yourself, then. When my baby is born, I will become Lucian's wife. Mark my words,” Sasha said with conviction. Amelia finally knew what Sasha's endgame was.
