Sophia looked deeply into Jeremy's eyes but found no signs to make her think he was lying. Thus, she believed him.
"You're right. I'm probably overthinking things," said Sophia with a smile. She then picked up another piece of fruit with her fork and fed it to him. "Here you go, Zachary. You should eat more fruits. They're good for your health."
"Thanks," said Jeremy. He then took the fork from her hand.
Sophia was naturally happy to see he was willing to accept her gesture. She decided to let her guard down.
"You two stay here to eat the fruits while I check what to make for lunch. It's the weekend today, and I just happen to be free," she said as she got up.
"Okay," said Jeremy. He then made sure she was out of sight before putting the fruit back on the platter without taking a single bite.
Sophia did not see him doing that at all. She walked straight into the kitchen and looked through the fridge for something she could cook when her phone rang.
She answered the call with her free hand. "Hello?"
'Yes! That's exactly when Benjamin became even more resistant toward me,' thought Sophia. 'So I got the wrong boy? And Corinne gave birth to triplets?'
No wonder she felt her 'son' had turned into another person, but because he still looked the same, she could not figure out why. The mystery had finally been resolved—Corinne gave birth to triplets with two of them being identical boys!
Sophia thought she had won because she got Jeremy and Corinne's baby, so she did not really keep herself up to date with what happened to Corinne and the Holdens after that. After all, who would have imagined that Corinne would give birth to triplets?
'Now that I know the little boy with us isn't really Benjamin, the question is, how could Zachary not know? He's the one who knows him the best. So could he be faking it?' wondered Sophia.
