Revenge On My First Love
Chapter 192 She Was Like a Light for Drake

Olivia squinted at Aria. She didn't expect Aria would change sides so soon.

Sophia smiled at Aria and said, "I forgave you when I got you out of the Riley manor. You were just used by someone after all, so I'm not mad at you."

"But I did a lot of bad things to you..." said Aria.

"And you have been punished, haven't you?" said Sophia.

That was true!

Aria looked up at her and asked, "So, we're still friends?"

Sophia smiled. "Yes, we are."

Finally, a smile came over Aria's face.

It was great for her to hear that they were still friends.

Luckily, Aria was the only person in the Riley family whom Sophia was willing to wipe the slate clean with.

Surely, Sophia's family would not intervene in her friendship.

Many people tried to get closer to Sophia, but her brothers soon stopped them.

Although it was her banquet, she would be fatigued if people kept talking to her.

Sophia got something to say to Charles, "Charles, Mom says that you are off-duty this month!"

"Yes, I have brought my luggage here. I will live with you during this month." Charles was quiet, different from Travis who was cool and distant.

Only Sophia could make Charles utter a few words.

Sophia said in a sweet voice, "Great. You have stayed in the research institute since I entered the university. It's been a long time. So, we should spend a good time together."

"OK!"

Laura said jealously, "I'm really regretful to give birth to Sophia. I used to be the priority. And now, you just give all your love to her."

"Charles chooses to stay with his sister instead of me during his month-long vacation. What an ingrate!"

Sophia ran to Laura and said, "Mom, don't be jealous. Though they like staying with me, they love you. And I love you, too." Then, Sophia kissed her on the face.

Laura just said such words deliberately like it was a joke between mother and daughter.

But she did feel a bit jealous. After all, it was hard for Charles to have a holiday, but he chose to stay in Sealand with Sophia.

"You're really good at comforting me. Hurry back after you have your business done here. I miss you so much." Laura gently jabbed at Sophia's forehead with her finger.

And Sophia wrapped her arms around Laura's waist and said, "I got it, Mom. I will be with you forever."

"You sweetheart!" Laura shook her head resignedly.

Obviously, the Lawsons had good relationships.

And the reason why Sophia was an innocent girl was clear. Her family, even other members of top four families in Pinkerton, doted on her so much that she became the most harmless girl in the world. The Old Duncan smiled. "I could tell her family background was not ordinary at the first sight of her. It turns out I am right. What a surprise." Bailey stood next to him. "Grandpa, you are much more discerning than Drake's grandpa. I think Drake's grandpa must regret what he did." "Nathan's been an old fool since Olivia married Baron. That woman is indeed scheming. It's not strange that she should gain Nathan's favor." "But I really didn't expect Sophia to be the central figure of the top four families in Pinkerton. No wonder Chloe is willing to be the foil for her." Then Bailey turned his eyes towards Drake. It must be really hard for him to accept the reality.

Drake stood still, gazing at Sophia.

Back then, he was shocked by her innocence. He had never seen such a simple-minded girl, who could even be described as a fool. Somehow, he fell in love with this naive girl. Perhaps, it was because his life was shrouded in darkness and Sophia was like a light that went on for him. Since then, he was overwhelmed by his love for Sophia.

Whether she feigned innocent or she was really a fool, he fell in love with her and even forced her to be with him.

At the time, he didn't know why Sophia was so naive. But he figured it out today; it turned out that she lived in such a happy family.

He didn't know who she was until today!

It was sad, wasn't it?

However, he still stepped up to Sophia.

Everybody was watching, thinking that something fun was gonna happen.

Sophia's family members were protecting her.

When Sophia was in Amerosia and hurt by the Rileys, they were unable to protect Sophia. But now, they could support and protect her next to her.

Therefore, all of them stared at Drake, seeming that they were gonna devour him.

In such a situation, no one but only Drake could walk up to Sophia under the pressure.

"Sophia!" said Drake's gentle voice.

Sophia curled her lips, "Mr. Riley, please call me Miss Lawson. That will be more acceptable, for both of us."

It was really admirable that Sophia insisted on not marrying Drake and said such words in the face of him.

Almost nobody could resist Drake's charm. Also, it was perfect for them, two powerful people, to unite by marriage, wasn't it?

Drake felt Sophia's tone of voice was very cold. It seemed that she never wanted to get close to him, even though they had had sex and perhaps he impregnated her.

"Any other words? If not, I will leave," said Sophia casually.

Drake fixated on her, "Do I...never stand a chance?"

Just then, Emma hurried up to him and pulled him back, saying, "Sophia, just ignore him. He might be a little unhinged today."

Then she whispered to Drake, "Drake, are you crazy? You ask this question to slap your own face, you know? Listen to me and do what I ask you to. With my help, you will be together finally."

Drake knew he was impetuous. It was an embarrassing day for the Riley family, but that was not a big deal. The key was that he really felt bad.
