Chapter 21 Delay will lead to change.
It was Ximena who reacted quickly and immediately smiled, “The photo thing, I don’t really have one because my boyfriend doesn’t like selfies and every time I try to take a picture with him, he says he’s not photogenic and won’t do it.”
Leonardo Cooper gave an oh unintentionally, “What about a name?”
“Huh? This … I seem to have forgotten.” The smile on Ximena’s face had gone a little stiff.
“Can’t even remember your boyfriend’s name? Rather rare.” Leonardo Cooper said it like it was a casual remark, but the person across from him was already breaking into a cold sweat.
Ximena sneaked a glance at Wilson, who gave her a wink, and Ximena suddenly became calm and said, “I usually call him by his nickname, so it’s only right that I can’t remember it.”
Afraid that Leonardo Cooper would cause further trouble, Wilson hurriedly changed the subject, “Let’s just eat, these dishes won’t taste good when they get cold, it’s not too late to talk about these later after eating.”
“No need, I’m full.” Leonardo Cooper threw the dishcloth on the table and stood up.
On his way out, Leonardo Cooper also looked back twice and said in a low voice, “There’s nothing wrong with a little intimacy between young lovers, but it’s better to be a little more restrained when outsiders are around.”
Ximena senses that Leonardo Cooper is talking about himself and blushes more and more.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Sophie Sabastian: “…”
Why, does she think Leonardo Cooper is out of his mind?
When did she and Wilson get closer?
The meal didn’t last long after Leonardo Cooper left.
Sophie Sabastian watched Ximena get into the cab before getting into Wilson’s car.
Thinking about what happened earlier, Sophie Sabastian frowned with a pretty brow and said to Wilson, “Wilson, I think your Uncle doesn’t seem to like me, look at him pointing and cursing at me when he was on his way out, it’s obvious that he’s just having a hard time with me.”
“Don’t think that much.” Wilson said, holding her hand in his hand, warmly said, “Uncle will have to go back to the Canadian branch in a short while, so bear with it, besides you won’t be able to see him if you don’t go to The Cooper family.”
Sophie Sabastian nodded.
She was actually a little confused as to why Wilson’s Uncle took care of her that night if he didn’t like her. To say he didn’t hate it, but why did he say something like that at dinner tonight?
After being dropped off by Wilson at the neighborhood, Sophie Sabastian waved goodbye to him and turned upstairs to knock on the door.
“Hey, what are you doing home so early?” Sophie’s mom opened the door, and when she saw Sophie Sabastian coming back, she asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to dinner with Wilson tonight? Didn’t you go out for a walk after dinner? Why are you back so early?”
“Mom, where can I go for a walk in this hot weather, he’s not afraid of the heat and I am!” Sophie Sabastian cried and laughed, and went directly to the living room to sit, and touched a snow pear from the fruit plate to eat.
As soon as she came, Tristin Sabastian stopped watching TV and asked, “Baby, have you and Wilson set a wedding date yet?”
“Not yet!” Biting into her sorbet, Sophie Sabastian vaguely replied, “Wilson said the company is busy during this period of time, besides, I’m not in a hurry, so I’ll see when the time comes.”
Tristin Sabastian wrinkled her eyebrows and got upset, “He’s busy, and getting married is no small matter. You’ve been dating for over five years now, and that’s long enough to be spending all your time on it.”
Touching Sophie Sabastian’s hair, Tristin Sabastian sighed, “To be honest, dad doesn’t like Wilson, no opinion, not much responsibility, but dad respects you, and won’t do anything to beat up the lovebirds, but the marriage thing, you still need to rush a little more, late is always the time to make changes. ”
“Dad, I know all that.” Sophie Sabastian said, she knew how much her father doted on her, “I’ve been dating Wilson for so long, he loves me and spoils me, we trust each other.”
Tristin Sabastian couldn’t say anything, she just said, “You’re the only baby girl I have, so if you say yes, daddy isn’t the unreasonable type. It’s also late, go to bed.”
“Uh-huh, got it.”
After staying in the living room for a short while, Sophie Sabastian went back to the bedroom to take a shower.
After showering and lying on the bed, all she could think of was Leonardo Cooper’s attitude earlier, although there were four people at the table, he seemed to be alone, quiet and indifferent, basically never said a few words, except before he left.
When she thought of Leonardo Cooper’s statement that he had been living alone in Canada, Sophie Sabastian couldn’t help but sigh.
Wilson’s Uncle is a bit stubborn, and looks as ascetic as a male model, but he has money and face, so shouldn’t there be a lot of women behind him, and he won’t find a girlfriend?
Or is Wilson’s Uncle too demanding?
Thinking about it, Sophie Sabastian suddenly felt wrong, slapped her head and muttered, “No, Wilson’s Uncle’s life has nothing to do with me, why am I thinking so much like a nosy woman?”
Sophie Sabastian looked at her cell phone, the time is also not early, pulled over the quilt to cover, blindfolded sleep.
Unintentionally thought of what Tristin Sabastian had just said, and when she thought about it, it made sense, so she decided that after she went to the hospital tomorrow to take care of things, she would ask Wilson to talk about it, and see if she could set a date for the wedding as soon as possible.
…
Afraid of people’s suspicion, on Monday morning Sophie Sabastian first went to the TV station to clock in, using the excuse that she had to go outside to collect some materials to take half a day off with the station manager, and then sneaked to the hospital.
The private hospital is in the western suburbs, half an hour by taxi.
Sophie Sabastian got out of the cab and flew into the private hospital, not realizing that there was a car behind the cab with a camera watching her every move.
Sophie Sabastian had an appointment with a specialist and went straight up to the sixth floor to find the doctor. After a quick chat, she put her things away, changed her shoes and followed the nurse to the operating room.
The smell of sterilized water and the room full of medical equipment made Sophie Sabastian dizzy, she gritted her teeth, but still lay on the operating table, tightly clenched fists, palms full of sweat.
As long as she made it through these few minutes, she would be safe, and she would make it through.
Nearly twenty minutes later, the operating room door was opened.
Sophie Sabastian followed the nurse out, her pace was a bit weak after the surgery, her face was as white as paper.
The nurse next to her took the list to Sophie Sabastian and instructed, “Go down and get the medicine, go back and take it on time, you can’t eat cold or spicy food for half a month, you can’t take a sitz bath, and it’s best to have intercourse again after a month.”
Sophie Sabastian listened with some embarrassment and took the list over, “Got it, thanks.”
Sophie Sabastian went to the medicine window to get the medicine, people just left the hospital, ready to take a taxi back, when a phone call came in.
As soon as she saw that it was Wilson’s person, she almost threw her cell phone out.
Why was Wilson calling her at this hour?
Sophie Sabastian told herself not to panic and answered the phone after calming down, “Hey, Wilson.”
“Sophie, aren’t you at the station?” Wilson asked.
“Did you, did you go to the TV station to find me?” After guessing that Wilson was at the TV station, Sophie Sabastian’s whole body tensed up, “Oh I came out to get some information, I’ll probably be back at the station after ten.”
Wilson on the other end of the phone laughed and said warmly, “Good, then take care, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Good.” After hanging up the phone, Sophie Sabastian’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Wilson had gone to the TV station to look for her, and he said he would wait for her to return? Was there something going on, or was he going to question her when he found out that she had come to the hospital for this kind of surgery?
The more she thought about it, the more Sophie Sabastian panicked. She couldn’t stay for a moment, so she stopped a cab and quickly rushed back to the TV station.
On the way, Sophie Sabastian has been tightly pinching the hem of her skirt, apprehensive.
If Wilson really knows what happened in the hotel that night, she apologized and begged for forgiveness. Besides, she really didn’t know how she could be in the hotel that night and slept with another man.
If she confessed all, maybe Wilson could forgive her and the relationship could still go on …
“Miss, it’s here.”
Sophie Sabastian was out of her mind when the car had already reached the entrance of the TV station and the driver kindly reminded her.
Sophie Sabastian then came back to her senses and paid for the car and hurriedly got out.
After entering the TV station, Sophie Sabastian realized that Wilson was waiting in the lobby, and when she saw herself coming in, she got up from the sofa and walked over with a calm and steady pace, and she became more and more nervous in her heart.
Why was Wilson’s face so serious, did he know all about it?
“Wilson, I … “Sophie Sabastian a little sweat on her small face, struggling to speak, “I’m sorry, actually I was going… …”
