Because I Was an and He Threw Away 317

Chapter 317 Would You Like to Be Sophie’s Mom? 

Leaving the hospital, Emma was in a funk, like there was a knot in her chest. 

Alexander was a heavy–hitter, so she didn’t dare ruffle his feathers. But Ethan? He had no such qualms. 

So, she directed the driver to Ethan’s company. 

Once at the office, she gave Lucas a ring. 

Before long, Lucas appeared from upstairs. 

Spotting Emma, he greeted her with a warm smile, “Mrs. Emma Wilson, what brings you here?” 

Emma looked up at him, cutting straight to the chase. “Take me to see Ethan,” she demanded. 

Lucas furrowed his brow and explained, “Mrs. Emma Wilson, Mr. Wilson’s not in the office today. Don’t put me in a bind, okay?” 

Not in the office? Where is he?” Emma shot him a glare.2

wouldn’t dare pry.” 

Seeing that, Emma let it go. “All right, go back to work. I’ll call him myself.” 

After Lucas left, Emma fished out her phone. 

With Ethan, she didn’t have much pull. 

Even though she was his mom, he often blew off her calls. 

That was why she waited until Lucas was out of sight to dial. 

Surprisingly, Ethan picked up right away. 

“What’s up?” he asked. 

At his voice, Emma’s irritation spiked, but she held her temper. “What are you up to?” 

“I’m out shopping,” Ethan replied nonchalantly. 

That did it for Emma. “Ethan! You’ve got time to shop? You know what? Emily’s got a side piece!”

Ethan sounded taken aback. “Oh. really?”

doctor. They said she’s got next to no chance of getting pregnant again. The Wilson family doesn’t need a 

good–for–nothing like her. Divorce her, and I’ll find you a keeper.” 

After Emma finished, Ethan said, “Let me sleep on it.” 

He kept mum about the divorce cooling–off period. 

Emma was about to keep going, but Ethan hung up in her 

face.

After the call ended, Ethan went back to his magazine. 

He was lounging in a swanky clothing store, sipping coffee on the sofa. Emma’s words were like water off a 

duck’s back. 

If Emily had a boy toy, Ethan figured it had to be either Alexander or Aaron. 

Just as he was scratching his head over it, the fitting–room door opened.

Nancy flashed Ethan a smile. “Ethan, how do I look?” 

Ethan gave her a nod. “You look amazing.” 

Under the soft light, Nancy was the center of attention. 

She checked herself out in the mirror and seemed pretty 

chuffed. 

Seeing her happy, Ethan told the salesperson, “Wrap it up.” 

Nancy blushed. “Ethan, it’s way too pricey. You don’t have to.” 

“For you, it’s a steal.” Ethan grinned. 

Nancy’s cheeks turned even pinker. The salesperson spoke up, “Mr. Wilson, you’re so nice to your girlfriend.” 

Despite the common knowledge of Ethan having a girlfriend, it remained a well–kept secret that he was a married man with a child. 

Rather than clarifying the salesperson’s misapprehension, 

Ethan chose to stay silent.

back, Ethan.” 

“Alright, I’ll settle the bill,” Ethan responded, putting down the magazine and rising to his feet. 

Just as he completed the payment, Nancy’s voice floated from the fitting room. “Hey, Ethan! A little help here. My hair’s caught in the zipper.” 

“Sure thing,” Ethan replied instinctively.. 

Stepping into the fitting room, he stood behind Nancy. 

Her back was bare, the skin as smooth as satin. As his fingers grazed her back while trying to free the hair, Nancy let out a soft giggle. “Ethan, stop, it tickles.” 

There was a mirror in the room. In it, Nancy could see Ethan’s chiseled face. She stole glances at him, smiling coyly every now and then. 

Ethan caught her eye in the mirror and suddenly asked, “Nancy, would you like to be Sophie’s mom?” 

The question caught Nancy off guard.

Before she could utter a word, Ethan pressed on, looking intently into her eyes in the mirror. “Is that a no?” 

“Not at all. I’m just thinking I’m not her biological mom. I don’t want to overstep,” Nancy rushed to explain. 

After finally freeing the hair from the zipper, Ethan gently fixed Nancy’s locks and said, “Sophie adores you. You’re even better than a real mom to her.” 

From the moment Ethan posed the question, the smile on Nancy’s face vanished. 

She’d yearned for this moment for so long, yet now, there was no trace of happiness in her heart.
