Kapitel 95: Heartbroken

"What did you say?" Leland spoke in a low voice. He couldn't believe his own hearing.

However, now that the situation called for her to reveal the truth, Sophie could feel the man's wrath and it made her throat dry. She had lied to him and Duke Romanov must be so furious that he couldn't even speak a word.

"What was it?" Leland bluntly asked again. "Perhaps I have misheard you, Miss Hansley."

A stammer came in Sophie's voice and she replied meekly. "I am pregnant with another man's child, Duke Romanov. I cannot—"

"Stop!"

Sophie's eyes widened and she knew that he truly was upset.
