America 1982-Chapter 657 - 2: Sophia Sets Out_3

"Why does everyone think I should be in a hurry to get back together with her, making it sound like I’m desperate for a woman," Tommy walked into a restaurant, sat at a table, and took a bite of an apple from the fruit platter as he spoke.

Sophia took the seat opposite him and said sincerely, "That’s exactly what you should do. You’ve been divorced for over a decade, but everyone who knows you is aware that you owe Odelia an apology. I think that grudge Odelia has been holding for all these years won’t be easy to dissolve."

"I don’t think it’s that serious. Remember? Two years ago, we had just sent Felice off to Dana Hall, the boarding school for girls, and then we joined Susan, who had just finished her term as mayor of San Francisco, for a road trip to Texas for hunting. We stopped in Houston for a couple of days to rest, and while you and Susan went shopping, you came back and told me that you ran into Odelia, who was there for an international law conference, and she happened to be staying in the same hotel as us. The three of you even arranged to have an afternoon SPA massage together."

"Of course, Odelia also gave Felice a little gift for her promotion to hand to her, and I told you that Odelia looked really well-maintained. You should have seen her. She was radiant after leaving you."

"That’s right, that’s the issue. I already knew she was going to Houston for a conference, which is why I suggested the hunting trip to Texas," he admitted.

"And then what?"

"And then, when you guys saw Odelia, I was actually getting dressed in her room, so you’d think she looked good, and she felt very guilty towards you."

"You slept with her?"

"Not very often. About two or three times a year after the divorce. It’s not that my ability has decreased; it’s just that the difficulty of sneaking around with an ex-wife... wow, that warmth and kindness that were on your face just now seem to have vanished in an instant!"

Sophia, her eyes glaring, grabbed the apple she had just picked up and threw it at Tommy, "You go on a trip with me and sneak off to mess around with your ex-wife? You swore to me that Odelia hated your guts! That there was no chance for anything between you two!"

"It was an accident. I would have definitely avoided you when meeting her to prevent embarrassment. She was having some work problems, and I had to teach her, give her the right answers. We agreed to talk only about her work, not family emotions, but... I couldn’t resist. You know, although Odelia isn’t the brightest, in terms of looks and figure, she’s definitely a catch. You can’t tell she’s already in her sixties. Her security team even told me many successful men in their thirties and forties mistake her for their age and plan to date her..." Tommy caught the apple Sophia had thrown and started to defend his actions.

Seeing the murderous look in Sophia’s eyes intensifying, Tommy quickly got to the point, "The main thing is, her resistance to me at that time wasn’t very strong, so it just happened. Among the old guys of my age, my physical fitness is the best. You know that very well, considering you fall asleep every night with your hand on my abs. So I guess after seeing I haven’t let myself go, her anger should have dissipated a fair amount. Put down the fruit platter, Sophia, calm down, you’ve never cared about my philandering before..."

"That’s because back then, I never took you, this second-hand goods, as my boyfriend. For the sake of those solid abs, I treated you like an item for female use. It’s fine to share a product with other women, but not your own man!"

"You’ve finally graduated, Sophia. I must admit, your comparison to a product for female use has a very powerful impact on me..."

"Disappear from my sight, now!"

"Right now, you’re the one with the advantage in this triangle. Look, Odelia is full of guilt because she feels terrible about sleeping with me behind your back, and now I’m also full of guilt towards you. What does this tell you? It means that what I orchestrated was for your benefit."

"You sleeping with your ex-wife behind my back is for my benefit?" Sophia, gripping the fruit platter, glared at Tommy, "When you and Odelia were married and you slept with her three best friends, and were caught by her in bed with the three Miller sisters, why didn’t you tell Odelia then, ’Dear, I slept with your three best friends for your benefit.’"

"That situation is different from now. Odelia couldn’t accept it not because I was with those three bad women at the same time, but because the real reason she couldn’t accept it was that, afterward, I confessed everything to her. I said, after being with those three, I also had been with the mother of those three beautiful daughters. That was a big shock to Odelia at the time."

"You’re scum. Get out! Just listen to yourself, for heaven’s sake, how can you do these things and still feel at peace talking about respecting women and children at the SHP Foundation!"

"I can explain..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Get out! Or I’ll show you even more devastating female behavior: how a woman breaks those female products that have hurt her!"

Under Sophia’s fierce glare, Tommy sulkily pushed his chair away, stood up, and headed for the exit of the restaurant, murmuring, "You know what, Sophia? When I used to pay your salary, you never dared talk back to me like that. I’ve always said that keeping relationships strictly financial is the right choice. Once emotions get involved, it upsets the balance and changes the status between men and women."
