Chapter 1556

Sophia smiled superficially. “You won’t even let Mommy hug you? Mommy can’t help but feel like

you’ve changed. You’re not Mommy’s Benjamin anymore.”

Bryan would only feel guilty toward the people he liked. Thus, the only emotion he felt toward Sophia

was disgust.

‘She obviously knows I’m not Benjamin, so she’s trying to make me slip up by acting all nice. What a

hypocrite,’thought Bryan.

Bryan remained calm and said arrogantly, “I’m a big boy now! What’s so weird about me not wanting to

be hugged by a woman? Hmph!”

Sophia came closer and looked at him fiercely. “Are you really Benjamin? You do know Santa doesn’t

bring little boys who lie to their parents presents, right?”

Benjamin already hated Sophia in the first place, and her threat just served to make him hate her even

more. In fact, he thought she looked like an evil witch.

“Can’t you even tell whether the kid you gave birth to is your own kid? I can’t help but think you didn’t

even really give birth to me!” shouted Bryan.

Sophia was speechless.

“So are you going to call room service or not? If you’re not, I’m going to look for Daddy!” urged Bryan

impatiently.

Sophia snapped out of her shock and smiled superficially again. “Okay, calm down. Mommy’s going to

call room service now.”

“Hmph! Hurry up! I’m starving,” said Bryan.

Sophia took a deep breath and swallowed down her pride. ‘One day, I’m going to spank that kid until

his butt is as red as a baboon’s!’ She assumed that the little boy who was not Benjamin probably

wanted to stay there because he did not go to kindergarten and there were lots of toys for him to play

with.

‘He probably doesn’t know Zachary is his real dad or told him anything because he’s worried we’d send

him home if he did that. Ugh. Forget it. I’ll let his behavior slide for the time being. After all, what good

can come from a kid born by Corinne?’ Many days later, Corinne was busy at work when Lucas

suddenly came to find her. However, he did not go up to her office but instead called her from his car

downstairs.

“Corinne, I’m parked in front of Holden Group’s entrance. Can you come down for a while? It’s urgent,”

he said.

Corinne put her document aside and got up to leave. It was scorching hot when she got downstairs.

Edmund opened the car door for her. She nodded, thanked him, and got into the car.

Lucas was resting with his eyes closed. He slowly opened his eyes when he heard Corinne get into the

car.

Turning sideways to look at her, he asked, “Did I interrupt you working?”

Corinne shrugged. “Yes. If you don’t mind, Mister Lucas, can you please give this short?”

Lucas’ eyes darkened a little. “Do you remember the painting I gave you last time?”

Corinne’s eyes immediately lit up. She nodded and said, “Yes, of course! You said it might be Nellie

Nymphaea’s recent work since the paint wasn’t even dried yet.”

“Yes. That painting. My friend contacted me just now, and she said her art teacher is back from her field

trip.”

Corinne’s eyes trembled. “Does that mean I can finally meet Nellie Nymphaea?
