Chapter 283
Olivia was envious because Sophie had everything she wished for: her own unique personality, freedom, a loving family, and being with the person she loved.
She had none of that.
But Sophie wasn’t trying to make Olivia feel bad. Even though she tried to control her
feelings, she couldn’t stop the happiness from showing on her face whenever she thought about Jacob.
“People actually envy you, Olivia. You’re Mrs. Harris now, and that’s something a lot of women dream about.”
and
The Harris family had been rich for generations. No one could match their status, Tyler was considered a dream man by many women. Even though Jacob was wonderful, he couldn’t compare to Tyler.
Sophie knew this very well.
But for Sophie, Jacob was the only man she ever wanted, no matter how impressive others might be.
“Really, getting married into the Harrises is like a dream for many. We’re the ones who should be jealous.”
Olivia didn’t argue. She just smiled and nodded.
Just then, Nina came over with a jacket and put it on Olivia. “It’s a bit chilly today, ma’am. We should head back.”
Hearing this, Olivia said, “I’m leaving now, Soof.”
Olivia touched her belly out of habit and left with Nina.
Sophie saw that. She also noticed how slowly Olivia was walking and how anxious Nina
seemed.
Suddenly, it hit her–Olivia was pregnant. This thought stunned her.
Olivia said goodbye again before she left. Sophie replied and watched her go.
Sophie stood there, lost in thought until her phone rang.
It was Jacob. Thanks to Sophie’s family, he was doing well in a big company like Harris

Group. This made her very happy.
“When are you done with classes today? I’ll come pick you up. I’m finishing work early,” Jacob said with a smile.
“I just saw Olivia, Jacob.”
He fell silent hearing that. Sophie waited for a couple of seconds.
Then Jacob quickly asked, “Oh? Where did you see her?” His tone was cold, as if he had no Interest in finding out.
“By the lake at school. She was alone. I think she might be… pregnant.”
Jacob was quiet again. Sophie hesitated, worried she might have assumed wrong, “But I’m just guessing. I don’t know if she really is pregnant.”
He scoffed and responded dryly, “Hmm, that’s great.”
Sophie felt something was off but didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll pick you up in the evening,” Jacob said.
“Okay.”
Sitting in the office, Jacob’s cold expression lingered after the call ended.
Just then, Linda entered his office, and he quickly stood up.
It wasn’t just the Pearces supporting him; Tyler also seemed to be giving him special attention. Life had been going smoothly for him.
