Chapter 505
Sophia ignored him, pulling her arm back and closing her eyes again to rest. Jason shamelessly leaned in once more, still hoping to steal a kiss.
Another crisp slap echoed in the quiet room. This time, it carried more force, leaving a faint handprint on Jason’s face and a lingering sting. Determined not to take the hit without a response, he swiftly reached out, grabbed her shoulder, and planted a kiss on the corner of her lips.
Sophia struggled fiercely to break free from his grasp, suddenly sitting upright. She narrowed her eyes and stared at him intensely, her gaze as cold as an icy blade, devoid of warmth. “What exactly do you want!” She had thought that after the rumors surfaced about her seducing Nathan, Jason would finally give up on her. But she hadn’t expected him to be so shameless, eagerly approaching her even after she slapped him.
The five years have genuinely smoothed out all his rough edges; currently, he was as tough as a wall at this level. In the past, he probably would have been furious and hysterically yelling at Sophia, grabbing her chin. The five years can genuinely transform people, completely changing them.
Jason looked at her cold demeanor, unable to resist reaching out to touch her. After she brushed his hand away with a raised palm, he instinctively grasped her wrist and kissed the back of her hand.
Sophia, unable to tolerate it any longer, exclaimed. “I have no interest in seducing my future brother–in–law again. Let go” She deliberately emphasized the phrase future brother–in–law, her tone dripping with sarcasm. She mocked her past foolishness and ridiculed his current two- faced behavior.
Sophia pondered, ‘Isn’t Jason supposed to marry Ada? Why is he still bothering me? Does Jason feel like he hasn’t hurt me, or does he think he hasn’t deeply hurt me!”
Faced with her sarcastic gaze, Jason sighed helplessly. “Sophia, I truly have my reasons. Give me a week, and I promise I’ll sort this out”
Sophia opened her mouth, poised to mock him further. At that moment, the phone lying on the table suddenly rang.
She grabbed it and saw it was Oliver calling. A shadow crossed her eyes as she pressed the answer button “Hello, Oliver.”
As soon as she addressed him that way, the atmosphere in the room plummeted. Jason tightened his grip on her wrist, his fingers instinctively clenching,
Sophia frowned, struggling unsuccessfully for a moment. Finally, she spoke into the phone, “Okay, I’ll come down immediately. Please wait for me.” Moments ago, Oliver invited her to dine over the phone. To provoke Jason, she had to make the trip. After hanging up, she stared coldly at him and said, each word deliberate, I’m meeting Oliver for a date. If you’re feeling too idle, you can go home and accompany your
fiancée
The mention of “date” agitated Jason. Suppressing the madness in his eyes, he spoke hoarsely, “There are already rumors about you and Nathan. If the reporters catch wind of you getting involved with Oliver, they will criticize you. He couldn’t bring himself to finish the sentence.
Sophia smirked sarcastically and filled in for him. She said, “Criticize me? What would they call me? Shameless? Temptress? Trashy? Slut! Remember, I’ve been accustomed to their insults for over ten years. Seduction of a future brother–in–law, shameless behavior–those words are nothing new. Now, all I need is to stay away from you. I won’t repeat the mistakes of the past and fall into endless misery again.” With that, she forcefully pushed him away, got up, and left the room.
Jason’s eyes flashed with pain. “Sophia, if you truly seek someone to rely on, any man in the world would do, but not Oliver. Jason couldn’t accept his brother marrying Sophia.
Sophia suddenly smiled. “Do you believe I could let Oliver announce our marriage tonight?”
