Veronica ignored Sophia and turned to Theo, intending to ask him a few things.
But Theo didnât wait for her to speak; he just turned and left.
âWhere are you off to at this hour?â Veronica caught up and asked loudly.
However, Theo didnât answer her.
At that moment, another voice answered her. âIsnât it obvious? Heâs off to see Ms. Mendoza, of course!â
Snapping back to reality, Veronica shot Sophia an annoyed look, âWhatâs your deal with Theo? Who asked you to butt into our familyâs business?â
Sophia, cheerful and open-minded from living abroad for a long time, replied, âDidnât I just say? Theo and I are friends, very close friends!â
Veronica was put off by this woman, âEven if youâre his close friend, it doesnât give you the right to just waltz into Theoâs bedroom! Get out now!â
Sophia shrugged and asked, âSo where am I supposed to sleep tonight?â
Veronica frowned, âGo back to your own home! You canât seriously be thinking of staying here?â
Sophia looked helpless, âBut my home is overseas; I donât have a place here, and itâs too late to book a hotel.â
Veronicaâs frown deepened. She knew from the beginning that something was off about this woman.
Turned out that she grew up in a foreign environment.
Why on earth would Theo bring such a woman home? Wouldnât Ellinor be upset?
No, Ellinor was already upset. Her leaving this morning was probably because of this woman!
However, since this woman was a friend that Theo brought home, she couldnât just kick her out.
Veronica thought for a moment and said impatiently. âFine, Iâll arrange a guest room for you.â
But Sophia shook her head, âI donât like staying in a guest room that hasnât been used for a long time.
The vibes are off. Since Ms. Mendoza isnât home, Iâll just stay in this room.â
Veronica was stunned. This foreign woman actually cared about the vibe of a room. How bizarre!
Annoyed, Veronica retorted, âSophia, are you for real? This is Theo and Ellinorâs bedroom; do you think itâs appropriate for you to stay here?â
Sophia nodded, âI think itâs perfectly fine! Theyâre not home, and Iâm not sharing a bed with them. Iâm just sleeping in it.â
Veronica firmly rebutted, âAbsolutely not! You might not care about this since you live abroad, but in our home, this is totally inappropriate! If you donât want the guest room, then leave now! Thereâs no way youâre sleeping in Theo and Ellinorâs bedroom!â
Sophia insisted, âNo, I wonât stay in the guest room! The vibes are off. Iâve had a fortune teller tell me it would affect my luck.â
Veronica rolled her eyes, âWhere did you find this fortune teller? I think youâve been swindled! We donât believe in that stuff.â
Sophia shook her head, âThat fortune teller is very well-known where I come from and always accurate!
Veronica, if you donât want me to stay in this room, can I stay in your room? Bottom line, I canât stay in the guest room!â
What? This woman wanted to stay in her room?
âNo way! I donât like people staying in my room!â Veronica said resolutely.
At that, Sophia started to take off her coat, âThen I guess I have no choice but to stay in Theoâs room!â
Veronica glared at her, âDo you have any manners? Who comes to someoneâs house and immediately wants to stay in the master bedroom?â
Sophia shrugged, âI did offer to stay in your room, but you refused!â
âWhy should I agree? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just spend the night anywhere in our house?â
