Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 220 Stop Dreaming

"No, but thank you," Sophia refused.

The waitress was taken aback. Earlier, she thought they should love each other deeply, so the man's

plan could be carried out smoothly.

Besides, they could receive a gift, which was a considerable amount of money.

Much to her surprise, the woman refused without hesitation.

After gazing at Sophia for a long time, Drake said, "All right. You may leave now."

'Alas... My bonus is gone,' the waitress said inwardly.

While having dinner, neither talked.

Sophia could tell he was angry, but she didn't want to give him any chance.

Although feeling sorry for hurting him, she decided to let it be.

However, someone broke the silence pretty soon.

When Mr. Watts walked out of a private box, he saw Drake and Sophia.

He surprisedly greeted them, "Good evening, Mr. Riley, Ms. Lawson. I didn't expect to meet you here.

Are you getting married soon? Please do invite me to your wedding."

His words brought a smile to Drake's lips. Here came Murphy's Law. Sophia was afraid of being seen

by others, but Mr. Watts met them.

"Please don't be kidding, Mr. Watts. Ms. Lawson hadn't agreed to marry me," Drake replied.

Sophia's lips twitched. She wondered if he had said it on purpose.

As expected, Mr. Watts said to her like an elder, "Alas... Ms. Lawson, I hope you don't mind. But I can

tell Mr. Riley loves you deeply and truly. If you miss a good man like him, you'll regret it all your life."

Since Mr. Watts was an outsider, Sophia didn't intend to explain.

"Thanks for your concern, Mr. Watts," she replied.

"You are welcome. I would have encouraged my younger sister to marry Mr. Riley if I had one. Ms.

Lawson, we've known each other for a long while. You are like my younger sister. Please don't worry.

You won't suffer a loss after marrying Mr. Riley."

Mr. Watts sounded like a helper hired by Drake.

However, Sophia had to keep a good manner. Wearing a smile, she reminded him, "By the way, Mr.

Watts. You should be super busy. I won't hold you up any longer then."

Mr. Watts was shrewd and got the hint immediately. He answered, "All right. All right. I'm leaving. See

you guys around."

Sophia and Drake were left.

Looking at her, Drake remarked, "I'm popular with girls."

"I know."

"Are you sure you don't want to have me all to you?"

Sophia looked up at him. "Stop dreaming. Eat!"

Drake was rendered wordless, but he decided to take things slow.

When Sophia returned home, her vehicle had been sent back to her parking lot.

After she got off the car, Drake followed her.

Frowning, Sophia was worried Drake would go to her house too frequently. He was such a dangerous

man that she didn't know what he would do.

"Thank you for the ride. I'm afraid I cannot invite you to enter."

Drake chuckled. "Why not? I come here pretty often, don't I?"

"My brothers stay next door."

Sophia had to make her brothers an excuse to refuse him.

Her words made sense, but Drake wasn't anxious. After all, he would find a way to let the Lawson

brothers leave Sealand. In that case, Sophia wouldn't have any excuse to refuse him.

"OK. I won't go to your house. I'll leave after seeing your light is on. Good night."

Sophia was surprised. In the past, Drake tried every possible means to enter her house. However, he

readily gave up tonight. She couldn't help wondering if he wanted to play any tricks.

"Why are you still here? If you don't go, I'll follow you."

Sophia hurriedly turned around and strode into the elevator.

Drake wondered if he had scared her as she seemed to run for her life.

When Sophia arrived at the floor of her apartment, her three brothers walked out of their house and

checked her back.

Feeling weird, Sophia looked back but didn't see anything. The elevator doors slid close.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't Drake follow you?"

"Nope."

The Lawson brothers exchanged a glance. "Impossible! You were with him. How could he not come

upstairs? Was that man really Drake?"

Sophia thought briefly and replied, "Well, I felt weird, too. But he didn't follow me upstairs for real. Do

you think he'll change his mind and come here later?"

They all looked over at the elevator. Seeing the number changing, they thought Drake would show up

soon. However, the elevator passed their floor and went upstairs.

All of them were surprised.

Sophia said, "Hold on. Let me switch on the light of my apartment."

After waiting for a while, Drake still didn't show up. They finally believed that he wouldn't come to

Sophia's apartment tonight.

The Lawson brothers felt amazed.

Returning to their apartment, Charles said, "Sophia, if there's anything wrong, call us."

"Got it."

Before Sophia closed her door, Bard asked, "Sophia, do you have any plans tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Sophia recalled her schedule and answered, "I'll go to my office tomorrow morning. I'll

meet a client in the afternoon and have dinner with him in the evening. Why, Bard? What's the matter?"

Bard wanted to answer but withheld his words. He sighed, "Nothing. Good night."

Sophia entered her apartment and closed the door without overthinking.

Bard cast a glance at his brothers and his phone. Seemingly no one remembered what the day it would

be the next day.

Had all of them forgotten his birthday?

Bard still had a ray of hope before going to bed. However, after waking up the following morning and

noticing everyone behaving like usual, he realized his expectation was too high.

Every year, he informed others about his birthday in advance. Then his siblings had to buy him gifts.

This year, he didn't tell them deliberately to see whether they could remember his birthday.

Unfortunately, no one did.

During the daytime, Bard was thinking if he should post it on his Facebook to wish himself a happy

birthday. If so, others could probably remember it in the afternoon. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, if he did so, others might mock him for reminding them of his birthday via the Facebook post.

Therefore, Bard would rather not give them a chance to laugh at him.

In disappointment, he decided to celebrate it alone in the evening.

At night, Sophia pulled out her phone and called Bard.

Bard was overjoyed, thinking Sophia must have recalled it. "What's the matter, Sophia?" he asked

expectantly.

"I need to sign a contract. Chloe and Bailey are seeing a movie. Can you fetch it for me in my office

and send it to the address I'll send you later?"

Bard was disappointed, realizing she still didn't recall his birthday. "OK. I will. Be right there."
