Chapter 29
Matilda smiled, it seems she didn’t need to take action herself; there were plenty of people to deal with Sophie.
“You now have Adrian’s child. He can’t not marry you. How did you manage to get pregnant with his child in the first place?”
In the past, Matilda thought that Leo would eventually be hers, but with the appearance of Sophie, she felt a strong sense of crisis.
Even if Sophie were to die, there would still be another woman.
So, she had to find a way to get pregnant with Leo’s child.
“I did it like this back then,” Erika recounted everything she did initially. She knew that Adrian liked Sophie, and she had been thinking about Sophie for all these years.
So, on the “anniversary” of Sophie, after watching Adrian drink a lot of alcohol, she deliberately dressed in Sophie’s clothes and made herself look like Sophie.
Adrian thought it was Sophie returning, and combined with what Erika had put in the drinks, he fell into Erika’s trap.
But since then, he had also been with her, even though he always called out Sophie’s name.
Hearing Erika’s account, a plan gradually formed in Matilda’s mind…
On the other side, Damon finally managed to slip away from the Walton family and quietly return to the hotel.
He swiped his card and opened the hotel room door.
But Jake was still there, thinking Sophie had come back. Jake quickly ran out and exclaimed, “Mommy!”
The two cute kids locked eyes, both gasping and then simultaneously saying, “Why do you look exactly like me?”
After their surprise at realizing how similar they looked, they both spoke again at the same time.
“Are you Damon?”
“Are you Jake?”

Damon couldn’t help but say, “Could we be real siblings? This kind of chemistry is unbelievable.”
It really seemed that way, even Damon had trouble telling them apart, which explained why the old man
had mistaken him.
“What’s going on? No wonder when I went to the company yesterday, they called me ‘Young Master.‘ Could that old man really be my father?”
But he definitely had no father!
Compared to Damon, Jake was much more mature, though he was still shocked inside, he had calmed down for now.
“We look so much alike, it’s very possible that we are real siblings.”
Just then, Damon’s phone rang.
“It’s Mommy!” Damon saw the caller ID, answered the call, and said, “Hello, Mommy.”
“Baby, Mommy is downstairs at the hotel. What do you want for lunch? Mommy will have the hotel send it up.”
Damon’s eyes widened. What should he do? Mommy was coming back!
If Mommy came up, wouldn’t she see the two of them?
Mommy probably didn’t know about this yet, right?
Damon hung up the phone directly, leaving Sophie puzzled. Her son had just hung up.
“Mommy will be up soon. Do you want her to know about you?” Jake asked.
Damon shook his head. “Nothing is confirmed yet. First, give me a strand of your hair and your contact information. I’ll get a paternity test done. If we’re really siblings, we can plan the next steps.”
“Alright.” Damon quickly plucked one of his own hairs and handed it to Jake. He also gave him his phone
number.
Jake pressed the elevator button on his side, and the elevator began to rise.
When the elevator doors opened, Sophie hadn’t come out yet, but she saw a child rushing in.
The child had their head down, and she couldn’t see their face, but she still reminded them, “Friend, stay
safe.”
Jake nodded and didn’t dare to look up at Sophie.

Sophie felt that the child was a bit strange. Their clothes looked so much like Damon’s.
