Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 168 Does She Accept Drake?

"Rethink it. She seemed nice to you. But was it real? She just used you to restrict me."

Aria shivered with shock and asked, "What...What are you talking about? Why did she use me to restrict you?"

Drake replied, "Because she doubted if I had known that she's not our real mother. And she knew that I wouldn't leave you alone. She's being nice to you because she plan to threaten me with your life when the truth comes out."

Aria said after a tremble, "No. No way!"

"I know you can't accept it temporarily, but I should warn you that don't talk about it with Olivia. If she hurt you, I won't save you." Drake had to say so because he was afraid that Aria did go to ask Olivia. That would be a big headache.

But from Aria's view, she thought Drake was like a stranger, cold and cruel. If he was her real brother, why did he treat her like this?

Emma looked at Aria, a mixture of emotions spreading over her face, "Aria, I know it was my fault to leave you there. I won't beg for your forgiveness, but I hope you will have a good life. If...If you don't want to accept me as your mom, that's OK."

Aria stared at Emma. She didn't hate the woman, even a bit liked her.

She thought Emma was very kind, but she couldn't accept it now!

At last, she said the last sentence, "You must be lying!"

Then she turned away.

Drake was worried about her. Just then, Baron walked out. Drake said to him, "Dad, catch up with Aria and protect her!"

Baron looked at Emma, seeming that he had a lot to tell her, but he finally ran after Aria as he noticed Drake's eyes.

Drake turned his head towards Emma and said, "Mom, let's walk you home."

"OK!" said Emma.

Sophia spoke, "Emma, now that Drake goes with you, then I go home myself."

Emma stopped her in time, "No, we go together. After I arrive home, he goes with you."

"It's OK. I can go home on my own."

"But I'm worried about you!"

Emma made a chance for her and Drake to stay alone.

Sophia wanted to refuse very much, but she didn't want Emma to be in dilemma, thereby nodding.

After Emma reached home, Drake sat in the back of the car with Sophia.

Sophia was looking out of the window. Drake could feel that she still kept a distance from him.

Maybe she never accepted him, but he had plenty of time to wait for her.

When they arrived, Sophia said, "Well, I'll go back myself. Thanks."

"No, I won't be easy only if I see you enter your home!" he just entered the elevator ahead of Sophia. Sophia had no choice but followed him.

During the slow ascent, they didn't utter a word and kept a distance.

Sophia was thinking if the elevator was occasionally out of order, like the scene in a novel or a film.

But she then let go of the idea since the facilities in the new complex were good. Unless it was man-made, the situation she imagined would never happen.

Not until the elevator stopped at her floor and opened did Sophia feel relieved.

No sooner had she stepped out than a man appeared in front of her and said, "Sophia!"

It was Noah. He noticed Drake behind Sophia and became out of his wits, "You..."

Drake held Sophia's shoulder in hand subconsciously, then in the arm, and said, "She has been mine. You know it since you left here last time." Noah tried pulling them apart but failed.

He gazed at Drake and said, "Yes, you may have had sex before, but it doesn't mean anything! She didn't know it then."

"But she doesn't refuse me, does she?"

Noah looked at Sophia.

Did she... accept Drake?

Sophia frowned at him and asked, "Noah, what are you doing here?"

"I have no choice because you chose to stay here."

"I have told you I would go back someday."

Drake's expression changed. As expected, she would leave finally. It seemed she wasn't touched at all, no matter what he did. "But... Will he let you go?" Noah threw a glance at Drake.

Sophia felt a bit impatient, "Noah, just go!"

"I just got here!"

"How about sleeping in Bard's house tonight and leaving tomorrow?"

"No, unless you go with me," Noah insisted.

Sophia couldn't persuade him but sighed.

Just then, Drake patted her shoulder and said, "I will deal with it."

Noah looked at him with hostility and said, "Who are you to turn me away?"

Sophia didn't mind. It would be best if they both got far away from her.

She walked in front of the door of Bard's house and opened it, "Bard and Edwin are not back. Get in! Oh, have you eaten?"

Noah shook his head.

Before Sophia spoke, Drake said, "A piece of cake. I ask Paul to bring some food for you later."

Sophia nodded.

Noah had planned to ask Sophia to cook for him, but she seemingly didn't have such an intention.

"After dining, you just take a rest. I feel a bit fatigued. I'm gonna go to bed."

Sophia was about to leave, but Noah kept looking at her as if he was asking her if Drake should go back to his home then.

Nevertheless, he finally withheld his words.

Sophia opened her house door, and Drake got in ahead of her.

"Mr. Riley, what do you mean?" said Sophia.

"My love rival makes me feel a sense of crisis. I won't give you away easily," said Drake.

"So, do you think I'll allow Noah to live in my house?" asked Sophia.

"It's so close. I should protect you in case he makes excuse and come," replied Drake.

Sophia rolled her eyes at him and said, "For me, you're more dangerous, OK?"

Drake suddenly got closer to her, and she had to move back, soon against the wall.

Drake's face was extremely beautiful and there was a faint smile. His deep eyes locked on her. "Sophia, do you expect me to do something to you?" asked Drake.
