Chapter 215

Charles looked at the top of Sophia’s head, put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms with little effort. “If apologizing is useful, why do we need the police?”

Sophia was caught off guard and fell into his embrace. Hearing his steady heartbeat next to her ears, her eyes widened unconsciously and she looked up at him.

“What’s wrong?” Charles saw the astonishment on her face. His eyes flickered, lowered his head naturally and pecked her lips.

His figure was reflected in Sophia’s eyes. She frowned and let go of his hand, wanting to push him away.

But Charles was very strong. The arm that restrained her waist did not move at all and he said instead, “That’s enough. Don’t be angry. If you really like that short evening dress, wear that for me when we get home.”

Sophia was speechless.

She looked back at Leah’s unpleasant expression that could not be concealed, pursed her lips, and her hands that were on Charles’ chest trying to push him away just now, wound around his neck instead.

“Sure.”

Leah looked at the two embracing each other and could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

She coughed softly and said, “I empathize with Charles. Miss Lawrence can be... too much. If Charles is dissatisfied with her and wants to do something about it, I won’t stop it.”

“It’s not that you won’t stop it, but rather, you hope that he’ll do something, right?” Sophia leaned into Charles’ embrace, her entire body tightly wound up, but she still looked at Leah with a sweet smile. “But I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Charles and I are very magnanimous and won’t pursue the things that Miss Lawrence has done.”

Leah bit her lips dejectedly, “I just wanted to apologize on behalf of Miss Lawrence. Why are you saying it like...”

She smiled bitterly and did not finish her sentence.

“Sophia White, stop putting words into other people’s mouths!” William looked at Sophia nestled in Charles’ arms and could not wait to drag her out of it. “Leah is kind enough to apologize to you on behalf of Tiffany. What kind of attitude is that?”

Leah pulled at his sleeve and said bitterly, “Will, say no more. It’s Miss Lawrence’s fault anyway.”

“It’s her fault, so why should you take the blame for it?” William retorted, turning his head to glare at the unrepentant Sophia, wondering if he was feeling more anger or jealousy.

“The marriage between the Harris’ and Jones’ families has already been decided by the elders. Sophia, do you really want to become the third party and be scorned by everyone?”

Sophia had heard a lot of things much worse than this. She smiled at William and nestled deeper into Charles’ arms, deliberately saying, “It’s just a political marriage between the big families. Charles doesn’t even like Miss Jones. Speaking of which, the relationship between Charles and me has been very good. It’s Miss Jones who has intervened between us instead.”

She said that to William, but she was looking at Leah when she said it. When she saw the latter’s smile was not as perfect as always, the grin on her mouth became broader.

That was the outcome she aimed for!

“Sophia, you... you’re shameless!” William clenched his fists and the veins on his neck popped.

Charles had been looking down at Sophia all the time. When he heard that, he raised his eyes which had turned cold, “Mr. Jones should speak more carefully.”

“Am I wrong?” William snorted. “Hugging a casual woman in front of your official fiancée. Does Mr. Harris think the Jones family can be bullied?”

Charles stared cold daggers at William. “Then, does Mr. Jones think I can be bullied?”

“Will, stop it.” Leah sighed softly, looked at Charles and Sophia bitterly and turned her wheelchair around. “The wedding is about to start. Let’s go.”

William stood motionless and Leah pleaded, “Will, just... leave me some dignity.”

“Sophia White, even after two years in jail, you’re still unrepentant, trying to ruin Leah’s marriage like this. You’ll get your retribution sooner or later!”

William gritted.

Charles’s eyes darkened and was about to speak when Sophia beat him to it. “Retribution?”

She laughed softly and looked at Leah meaningfully, “I do believe in karma. People who have done wrong will receive their retribution!”

“What do you mean?” William was fuming.

Sophia answered, “Literal meaning.”

At this time, someone came for Leah and William. The siblings did not linger around and left with their own thoughts.

“You really don’t want me to do anything to Tiffany Lawrence?” William’s words kept echoing in his ears. Charles pursed his lips, unbuttoned one button on his shirt, tapping his fingers on the table repeatedly.

Sophia sneered, took a glass of red wine from the waiter’s tray and put it to her mouth.

“Eat something before you start drinking.” Charles grabbed the glass of red wine from her hands and put it on the table, before picking up a snack and putting it next to her mouth.

Sophia snatched the snack from him and threw it on the table. “No need. If you really feel sorry for me, I’d be happier if you did something to Leah or the Jones family instead.”

Keeping Tiffany in the Lewis’ household so that she could disgust Leah, making Leah play against Tiffany... that was the outcome she was hoping for.

Tiffany’s IQ was not sufficient to pit against Leah, but with Master Lewis’ protection, it might.

Charles looked at the discarded snack, his eyes dark, and he did not answer immediately.

“Hah,” Sophia sneered, pulled the chair and sat down.

Charles sat down beside her and picked up the glass of red wine for a sip, “It will happen.”

“When?” Sophia asked.

There was no reply.

Sophia turned her head to look at the silent Charles, brows furrowed in sarcasm. However, since she did not harbor any hopes, she was not disappointed either.

The wedding had finally begun.

Apart from the invited guests, the dedication of Master Lewis towards this young wife of his was clearly seen from the appointment of the wedding host to the decorations of the wedding arrangements.

When Master Lewis appeared, a middle-aged man with an honest and friendly appearance went on the stage. He looked a little lost and angry.

Especially when Tiffany was handed over to Master Lewis, his anger became more apparent.

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 214 Harris, Don’t Be Too C*cky!

But that was to be expected. His daughter was only in her twenties but she was marrying a white-haired man in his eighties, someone old enough to be her grandfather. Any father would be unhappy at that.

Sophia did not look at the bridesmaids and the groomsmen, nor the bride and groom of the wedding. Instead, she stared at the big screen throughout the event.

Even when it was time for the toast, the content on the big screen had not changed. She frowned.

“Be patient. It’ll happen soon,” Charles whispered into her ear.

When he spoke, his warm breath tickled her ear, itchy and intimate. She shrugged her shoulders and moved away slightly. With a hum of acknowledgment, she looked at the stage distractedly.
