Second Chance At Love

Chapter 6

Sophia forced a bitter smile as she glanced through the car window, only to find the brightly lit house. All she could think about was how pitiful her daughter was, lying alone in the cold, eerie cemetery, waiting for her father’s visit, which never came.

“Alright, thank you. It’s a private residential area, so getting a taxi here won’t be easy. You can take my car and leave, and Il arrange for someone to pick it up from the cemetery tomorrow,” Sophia said to the man. Alter giving him instructions, she pushed open the car door and stepped out.

‘Since Ada dared to confront me head–on, I shouldn’t continue hiding like a turtle, Sophia thought, determined. “I’m already on my deathbed, so why should I be afraid to face their profound affection?‘ Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Isn’t there a saying that women may be weak, but mothers are strong?” Sophia muttered to herself. Having endured the heartache of her daughter lying alone in the cemetery, longing for her father, Sophia felt there was nothing left in this world that could break her.

As she stepped into the courtyard, a young maid approached her with a warm smile. The maid introduced herself and informed her that the house’s mistress had sent her to welcome her.

Sophia chuckled at the thought, ‘A shameless, dirty homewrecker dares to act like the mistress in me and my husband’s shared property?‘

After a momentary pause, Sophia strode past the maid and entered the living room. “Oh, Sophia,” Ada’s voice rang out, dripping with sarcasm. “Have you mastered the art of confronting the woman who intruded upon your marriage? Are you here to tear me apart?”

Sophia’s gaze lingered on Ada, noting her mocking tone, disdainful demeanor, and haughty posture, all devoid of the slightest trace of shame or embarrassment typical of a woman involved in infidelity.

Sophia thought to herself, ‘Well, refinement was never her strong suit, after all.

“Do you even comprehend, Ada, the repercussions of shamelessly wrecking a family? You’ve besmirched the Taylor family’s name. Along with the illegitimate child you carry, you will be like a rat scurrying in the streets, pursued by all,” Sophia stated firmly, hoping her harsh words would strike a chord with Ada.

Ada shot up from her seat, her voice piercing the air as she lashed out at Sophia, “You bitch, who do you think you are to judge me? If it weren’t for your interference, I would have been married to Jason long ago. If anyone’s shameless, it’s you.”

Sophia’s eyes hardened at Ada’s retort. She reached out slowly, gripping Ada’s collar firmly, enunciating each word as she spoke, “I interfered? Five years ago, I was stabbed and gravely wounded while trying to save him. I was sent abroad for treatment. You took advantage of the situation, stealing my credit for saving him and making him fall in love with you.”

Sophia didn’t want to relive that painful past, but it seemed unavoidable.

It all began with a twist of fate. Jason should have loved Sophia, the one who saved him.

After hearing Sophia’s tirade, Ada chuckled disdainfully and leaned in close to whisper in her ear, “So what? Who told you to erase the scar on your chest for aesthetics?”

“Look at how clever I am. I stabbed myself with a knife to create this gruesome scar, making Jason believe without a doubt that I was the one who saved him.” With that, Ada suddenly opened her

shirt, revealing, the winding scar on her chest that she had inflicted with her own hands, laughing wildly.

“See how good my acting skills are? The whole world thought I had saved Jason. With that debt of gratitude, Jason wouldn’t do anything to

me, even if I killed you now.”

Sophia stared fiercely at the scar on Ada’s chest, rage balling within her. Tears welled up in her eyes again, gradually blurring her vision. She thought she didn’t care about those past misfortunes deliberately orchestrated by fate. But now, it felt like Ada had ripped open her raw wounds again, shattering all her self–composure.

Sophia had placed immense trust in Ada back then. After sustaining severe injuries, she entrusted Jason, who was unconscious, to her care. However, Ada shamelessly impersonated her and manipulated the situation, turning herself into Jason’s savior and claiming his affection for

herself

“Karma will find you, Ada!” Sophia spat at her.

“Karma?” Ada scoffed, on the verge of bursting into laughter. Then, she saw the maid signaling to her from the doorway.

Ada immediately knew what the maid meant, and a malicious smile crept onto her face as she leaned in, whispering to Sophia, “My dear sister, do you know how your ectopic pregnancy diagnosis came about two years ago? Do you know why you had to remove one of your fallopian tubes, making it difficult for you to conceive?”
