Chapter 186 Purely Emotion

Victor thought that Sophia was talking about that her dress was dirty and she borrowed Teresa's dress, then she made fool of herself. Victor held her hand tightly, and looked at her affectionately. "Forget it. It's all over now. It was obvious that Teresa did something bad to you just now. That woman won't give up easily, she has many tricks. I'll be with you all the time."

Sophia felt warm in her heart and her face flushed red like a small electric current across her face. It reminded Sophia of a magazine she had read in the past. "The most romantic words in the world are not 'I love you', but 'I will be with you'."

She didn't pay much attention to this sentence when she saw it at the beginning. Now she realized how magic when Victor said "I will be with you". No wonder the lyrics of "Spend the Longest Time with You" would say: "companionship is the deepest confession of love."

But the next moment, she thought of what Teresa had said to her. Every word that Teresa had said to her was like a thorn in her heart. She might not be unable to breathe, but it was still getting stuck in her throat.

Sophia had to admit that they had been together for a long time, Victor had never talked about marriage with her, not even once. Xiao family didn't approve of her, so she dared not to mention it. They both tried to avoid the topic, as was known to all. They never talked about it.

Sophia couldn't help but suspect that Victor had never thought of marrying her. As the big shot in S City, Victor had always done what he wanted to do. If he really wanted to marry her, why didn't he bring up the marriage topic at all?

At the thought of this, Sophia lowered her head slowly and fell into silence again. She bit her lips and closed her eyes. She summoned up all her courage and looked up at Victor. She asked cautiously, "Victor, are you... Have you ever thought about marrying me?"

Victor frozen for a moment, Sophia's sudden question caught him off guard, his grip on her hand loosened a little. At this moment, the signal light changed from red to green. Taking this opportunity, Victor took back his hand which was holding Sophia's hand and focused on driving.

The instant Victor loosened his grip on Sophia, she felt like her heart was removed. The silence in car made Sophia feel sadder.

Sophia was certain that Victor loved her. But she was not a young girl who had just reached the puberty, so love was not the most important thing to her. She wasn't so silly to believe that any obstacle that could be overcome as long as they loved each other. She was very clear about three things: whether he loved her or not, whether they were suitable for each other and whether they got married or not.

Marriage was not the marriage of two people, but the marriage of two families. It was a fact that Xiao family didn't accept her. Although Victor said he

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

Victor's love for Sophia was overwhelming her that even though the story between the prince and Cinderella was only a fairy tale and it was unlikely to happen in reality. She was glad to hear that Victor wanted to marry her. At least, he wanted to marry her.

"I'll take you to my grandfather's birthday party." Victor kissed her on her cheeks and smiled.

Sophia got a moment of shock. She understood what it meant to attend Christopher's birthday party. Although Karl and Grace were seniors of Victor, the one who had the most power in the family was still Christopher. If Christopher recognized her, maybe Karl and Grace's impression of her would change a little.

Victor would never bring a woman that he just played with to his grandfather's birthday party. He meant that he had made up his mind to marry Sophia. Sophia's lips curved into a smile. She hooked her arms around Victor's neck, pecked him gently on the lips, and said with a smile, "you're so great, Victor."

This time, Victor's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Sophia had gotten back to normal. Victor's lips curled into a satisfied smile. "Didn't you eat enough at the dinner? I have asked Zelda to prepare some food for you. Do you want to go downstairs to eat?"

Only then did Sophia feel empty in her heart. She had been busy with fighting with Teresa and Jenny at the banquet and hadn't had a good meal. Now she felt hungry. The moment she heard that there was midnight snack, her eyes got cold and she nodded immediately.

"Let's go!" Victor held Sophia's shoulders and took her downstairs.

Zelda had thought that Victor and Sophia wouldn't want to have the midnight snack since both of them didn't look well. When she was about to clear up the plates, she saw them coming downstairs with smiles on their faces. Zelda smiled and could only sigh that it was so good to be young. They could fix the quarrel as soon as possible.
