Chapter 1521
Sophia thought that was a lame excuse on Jeremy’s part. After all, the bed was a king-size bed, so there was plenty of room for
all three of them to sleep in the same bed together.
However, Jeremy’s face would inevitably darken whenever he saw her coming in with her pillow and blanket. He then would tell
her he did not wish for her to see his crippled legs.
At first, Sophia thought it was his pride that made him say that. As time went on, she began to think he simply did not want to
sleep in the same bed with her.
Tve been nothing less than attentive to his needs for the past three years, so why won't he love me back?' she thought sadly.
"Okay. You sleep early too, Zachary."
"Okay."
Sophia walked out of the room sadly, but before she closed the door, she threw a murderous glance at the sleeping kid on the
bed.
'That kid is definitely not Benjamin,' she thought.
How could she be so sure? It was because she purposely put green peppers, which Benjamin hated the most, into the omelet
she cooked for dinner. Not only did the boy not recoil from the taste, but he even ate a lot.
The real Benjamin would never eat green peppers. Not wanting him to be a picky eater, Jeremy tried many ways to get him to
eat green peppers, but he would rather starve than eat them. In the end, Jeremy gave up.

Sophia did not believe a kid's taste would change in such a short time.
Even though she had no idea who the kid was, she was sure he was not Benjamin.
She had asked her men to find out what happened since the day they went to fly the kite. She remembered it was the day when
Benjamin started acting differently.
'If he's really not Benjamin, that means...'
It was the weekend, and Annie dropped by the Holdens' mansion early in the morning.
Corinne was still asleep. She had forgotten she had made plans with Annie to visit her therapist friend together.
Annie barged into Corinne's room and pulled her up from bed. "Wake up, Corinne! Didn't you say you'll go with me to see my
therapist friend? It just so happens he's not really that busy today, so he'll have plenty of time to talk with us. This kind of
opportunity doesn't come that often, so wake up before someone goes there before us! You don't want to have to wait to see
him, do you?"
Corinne had not slept well for the past few days, and especially on the night she went to find Jeremy.
"I told you I wanted to introduce a therapist friend to you, remember? And you said you'd come with me when you're free on the
weekend?" said
Annie again.
Corinne had forgotten about it. She was so tired that all she wanted to do was continue sleeping.
"Let's go another day. I'm not really in a rush to meet him. Tell your friend we'll see him another day," she said.
Annie frowned. "No! He's usually so busy that you can't even get an appointment within the next couple of months. Today's only
his free day,
so let's go!"
