The Adopted Heir Chapter 123
The next day, Sophia and her boyfriend drove to her parent's house after work. Alex revved the engine to a stop in front of the McLean resident. When Alex turned to look at his girlfriend, he saw how stiff she sat down and was looking ahead to the house which holds so many bad memories and a few good memories if there are any.“Babe, if you are not up for it we can always postpone this visit. It is not a must that you will see your father today.” Alex said, trying to relieve some of the stiffness on her shoulders.“We are already here, we can as well get it over and done with. Moreover, you are here with me to be my moral support, so nothing can possibly go wrong. I know that you would take me away from there before anything goes wrong.” Sophia said, linking her fingers to Alex's own. “You don't have to worry about anything, my love. I promise to stand by you. We will leave as soon as you start feeling uncomfortable in their presence.” Alex said, pecking the palm that was entwined wi

After what feels like an eternity later of standing, Alessandro and his wife, Ellie sat down across from Sophia and Alex.“I thought that you would never sit down. I was even contemplating talking to you while you kept standing. Well, I'm still waiting to hear what you've been wanting to say to me all these while that gave you the effort to disturb my boyfriend at will. It'd better be worth it cos I don't condone time wastage.” Sophia spat. Alessandro cleared his throat, “I just want you back in my life. I know that your late mother wouldn't be happy to see the way we are living.” Alessandro simply stated.“Do you genuinely want me back in your life or do you want me back because you both can no longer afford your lavish lifestyles and you are looking for someone to fund it?” Sophia asked suspiciously. She knows her father too well to know that the man doesn't care if she was in his life or not, he is probably looking for a way to ask her for money and this is what he could come up w

It has been up to a month ever since Alex and Sophia visited the McLeans. It is a sunny afternoon and Alex can be seen in a meeting with Jayden and Cynthia. They looked to be discussing something they were planning.“Is it possible for this arrangement to be ready before the end of the year? Cos I want the party to be on the 30th, Sophia's birthday.” Alex asked his friends. He was planning a surprise proposal to his girlfriend and his friends were suggesting a few ideas to him on how to make it perfect and spectacular for Sophia.“It depends on the event planner. If she doesn't have a very tight schedule, then she would definitely plan the whole event before the year runs out. I will make sure that everything is done according to your jurisdiction.” Cynthia answered. Cynthia was so happy when Alex called her a week ago and sought her help on how to make the perfect proposal for Sophia. He asked her about the things girls like. He also asked her if Sophia had ever told her about her f

It's Christmas Eve and Alex, his girlfriend and his friends went to the movie theater to spend it. They had been outside the whole day, going from one fun place to the other. They already mounted a Christmas tree earlier in the day before leaving the house. They were going to place their gifts on the tree after they got home from the theatre. “This is like the hundredth time I'm seeing this movie and it still ended up making me emotional as always,” Cynthia said dabbing her eyes and wiping the snot running down her nose. “Yeah… Romeo and Juliet always have a way of penetrating someone's heart. Every time I watched the movie, I kept praying that they would live happily ever after while still knowing that they would still die.” Sophia chipped in. They were done watching their movie and they were on their way home. As the women conversed about the movie, the men sat down quietly and listened to them. They don't want to say anything that would make them call any of them inconsiderate or

“Merry Christmas.” That has been what has been exchanged so many times since daybreak. Alex invited all his staff to have Christmas dinner with them. The dinner was to start by 7 pm while the exchange of gifts between him and his friends was to happen by 5 pm. It was half past 4 pm already and they were all now surrounding the Christmas tree. It happened that every one of them sneaked in their Christmas gifts for one another before daybreak. They did it in such a way that the recipient of the gift wouldn't know the giver– the only way to know that the gift is for you is from the name written on it.As for what they had been doing since morning, Well, they all woke up quite late and when they did, they had their brunch and drove to the cemetery where they stayed with Mr Christopher for quite some time. On their way back, they dropped by the orphanage and celebrated Christmas with the children there. They took pictures and played around with the babies. When they were about to leave, th

Sophia picks up a gift card from the list of items lying on the floor, “Oh… this is not for me.” She hands it over to Alex, “This card has your name on it.”Alex took it and looked at it. It didn't go beyond his notice that his girlfriend totally avoided what he said to her earlier, but he would just let it go.They ended up exchanging their gifts. At some point during the process, they all got emotional about the thoughtful gifts they all got. Sophia got a box of diamond pieces of jewellery, a Christmas card, a big teddy bear– that got her cackling though, and a MacBook.Alex got a Christmas card too, some sports attire– he had an inkling that it would be from Cynthia cos that girl wanted him to go boxing on his birthday, he got a headset too because he likes music a lot and he finally got a Rolex designer wristwatch.Cynthia was the only one who didn't get a Christmas card. This made them conclude that the lovely cards were from her. Well, She got some cake equipment like an oven, a

“Cynthia, please ask my baby to wake up.” Alex strained out from the driver's seat. He looked between the road and at his girlfriend through the rearview mirror. He frustratedly hit his hands on the driving wheel when the traffic light turned red. If he were to be the one in front, he wouldn’t have minded the traffic light at all.At the back of the car, Cynthia was shaking profusely. Her lips trembled and her eyes kept overflowing with tears. They were all to be blamed for Sophia's current condition. If anything happens to Sophia, they will all be doomed.“Is there no other way for you to get to the hospital? Sophia is bleeding profusely– Alex, she's losing a lot of blood.” Cynthia was able to get out of her jittery nerves.Alex looked to his right to see that the cars were moving to the right side, but he was supposed to take the straight road cos that's the road leading to the hospital. It was about 30 seconds remaining for the traffic light to turn to green but that felt like an e

“Please can you repeat what you said earlier?” Alex reiterated, still shocked by the news.“I said that my team and I are so sorry to announce to you that she lost the baby. We did our best to save her but the poison in her system would have succeeded in killing her if it didn't kill the baby.” The doctor repeated while he thought that they didn't hear him the first time.“Shit!” Alex cussed out and punched the closest wall. This motion startled both the doctor and Cynthia who was too dumbstruck to say anything. “Um… we didn't know that she was pregnant.” Cynthia finally speaks.The doctor looked surprised at this. It was then that he realised that they asked him to recap what he said earlier not because they didn't hear him but because they were hearing it for the first time– they were shocked at the news.“She was a few weeks gone from the scan we carried out on her earlier… precisely 4 weeks gone.” The doctor answered. He saw how the news disoriented Alex– how he was going around
