Chapter 651: Chapter 649: Looking for Trouble [1st Update]

On the other end of the call, Christopher Scott had just entered the office when the phone rang.

He nonchalantly took the phone out of his pocket, and upon seeing the name Sophia Bennett, his expression darkened. He thought to himself, this woman is really persistent.

What surprised him was that she usually waited until Saturday evening to call him, but today was only Friday morning, and yet she was calling.

Christopher stared at the phone for a moment but eventually answered the call.

Once connected, Sophia calmly said, "Christopher, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner."

Sophia’s voice was pleasant, and when calm, it had an adorable quality. Her speaking pace was not fast, making her seem like a cute, naive girl. Despite this, Christopher found her voice irritating.

Therefore, he impatiently replied, "I’m not free."

"Christopher, I’ve never invited you before. This is the first time. Can you give me a bit of face? There are some things I’d like to discuss with you in person, okay?" Sophia expected Christopher’s rejection, so her emotions didn’t change, and she patiently requested.

Listening to the girl’s excuses, Christopher furrowed his brow, pondering what Sophia wanted to say, which he could already guess without meeting her.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Fine, send the address."

Christopher agreed not because he wanted to see Sophia or hear her out, but to tell her in person that no matter what she said or did, they would never be together.

If she criticized Sarah River, he was prepared to retaliate. In conclusion, he was meeting Sophia to end her pursuits, not to deepen their relationship.

When Christopher agreed to meet, Sophia showed no excitement, just calmly said, "Thank you," and hung up the call.

Her calmness made Christopher increasingly unable to understand what this woman was thinking. Regardless of her tricks, Christopher planned to mock and scorn her. No matter her family background, he disliked women who were domineering, obstinate, unreasonable, and persistent.

Christopher didn’t realize that Sophia was no longer domineering, obstinate, or unreasonable. Persistent she might be, but she wasn’t worth hating to the core. Although she pursued him, she didn’t cling desperately.

After hanging up, Christopher shifted to a work mindset, but scenes of Sophia’s indifferent attitude last night and her phone call kept surfacing in his mind.

Meanwhile, Sophia sat quietly at home all day, only leaving at five in the afternoon to drive to the agreed restaurant.

Ten minutes after Sophia arrived, Christopher also came; he didn’t keep her waiting long.

Sitting across from Sophia, he frowned at her for a couple of glances without speaking.

Seeing Christopher had arrived, Sophia quickly called the waiter, ordered a coffee for Christopher, and handed him the menu, saying, "Sorry, never had a meal with you, no idea what you like."

Today, Sophia seemed more mature and composed than before.

Christopher looked at the menu handed over by Sophia, accepted it but put it aside, then raised his head to look into Sophia’s eyes, saying: "Say whatever you want directly, no need for tricks to waste time."

Christopher had no intention of dining with Sophia; he was just there to make things clear with her so she wouldn’t pursue him.

Seeing Christopher’s reaction, Sophia understood his intent and knew his purpose for coming today.

Sophia took a deep breath, a bitter smile tugging at her lips, feeling today’s invitation was redundant.

After gazing at Christopher for a moment, she said awkwardly, "I knew you wouldn’t want to come, but still invited you, making it difficult for you."

Sophia felt there was no need to say what she had in mind, Christopher obviously disliked her, and he had a girlfriend now, Sarah River, who was more sensible and wouldn’t cause trouble. Comparing the two, he would surely choose Sarah River.

Then, she lowered her head, smiling bitterly, mocking herself for being foolish, seeking trouble for nothing.

Seeing the awkward smile on the girl’s lips and her bitter smile, Christopher disdainfully said, "Did you call me just to say these things?"

Christopher couldn’t wait for Sophia to get to the point. Whether she confessed or criticized Sarah River, he had prepared many words to embarrass or hurt her, making her retreat.

Listening to Christopher’s questioning, Sophia slowly lifted her head and smiled at him.

After smiling, she cautiously asked, "Christopher, is there absolutely no chance for me?"

"What do you think?" Christopher counter-questioned without a second thought.

Seeing his impatience to mock her, Sophia quickly interrupted him, saying: "Christopher, don’t rush to answer me. Could you take three minutes to consider? Although I’ve pursued you for a long time, I think you haven’t considered me and haven’t thought about who I am, just focused on hating me."

"I want you to calmly consider for three minutes, am I really that bad, not worth giving me a chance?"

After speaking, Sophia took out her phone from her bag, opened the clock, and started the timer.

Christopher was stunned by Sophia, he miscalculated again.

He expected this woman to cry and sulk, badmouth Sarah River, or beg him, but unexpectedly, she calmly asked him to consider for three minutes.

Christopher was dumbfounded, staring at the timer on Sophia’s phone.

He forgot to reject Sophia and was simply stunned, unable to describe his emotions; he also forgot to consider whether to give Sophia a chance.

But memories surfaced of her first being infatuated with him at a bar; afterward, her liking for him was uncontrollable.

He recalled her finding him at school on Christmas Eve and bringing an apple, which he threw away.

He remembered her saying he liked Seven Murray so much, he should pursue and not give up; she even called Ian Hobbs to ask him to return Seven Murray.

He recalled her drugging him, saying harsh words that night; yet the next day, she still texted him.

At that moment, he seemed to remember, since the drugging incident, Sophia became very cautious, unlike before, only sending him three texts a day according to their agreement.

In his mind, Sophia’s docile nature was only a facade, that insolent, oblivious, unreasonable woman was Sophia.

Now, she was acting again, Christopher thought she must have seen Sarah River’s sensibility and thus mimicked her.

However, Sarah River wasn’t his type, no matter how Sophia emulated her, he wouldn’t be fond of her.
