Drenched in Love novel Chapter 67

With a soft woman in arms, Emmanuel stiffened and held his breath.

He looked down at the face of the woman in his arms.

Sophia was smiling, just as he had seen her before. But there was sadness in her smile. Smile was just on the surface and sadness was true inside.

Emmanuel wondered what could have forced such a beautiful person to commit suicide. Why did she live with such a smiling face?

Emmanuel raised his hand and wanted to touch Sophia's rosy cheeks.

Hazel looked at that with her mouth slightly open and did not know whether to stop. She knew her brother liked Sophia, but Sophia and Stephen...

When Hazel was hesitant and Emmanuel’s hand was only a few centimeters away from Sophia’s face, Sophia got out from his arms. The smile on her face froze and she turned to look behind her. She men and women gathered around the table eating barbecue and chatting.

Sophia turned her head, smiled and said, “Thank you, Emmanuel.” By the time the words were finished, Sophia had stood beside Hazel and held her arm.

Emmanuel smiled and told the two of them to go on eating while he served the other customers.

When sitting down at the table, Sophia could not help but look around. Hazel asked, “Sophia, what's wrong?” Sophia shook her head, “Nothing.” As she said this, she could not help glancing down the road again.

She always felt as if someone was watching her.

Sophia drank a lot of bear, so she took a taxi home.

When she walked into the villa, she saw Stephen sitting on the sofa in the living room. Sophia quivered all over and sobered up.

Stephen looked at Sophia for a moment. Seeing that she had been standing at the door, he said coldly, “Come over.”

Sophia hesitated for a while and then walked over.

Smelling the beer, Stephen frowned. Seeing that Sophia lowered her head and thinking of that she drank happily with Hazel and Emmanuel, a burst of anger hit him.

He reached out and pinched Sophia's chin, slowly pulled down, forcing her to bend over. “Am I too tolerant to you and you became more and more arrogant?”

The force of his finger increased. Sophia's chin became pale because of that. Stephen's voice was light, but it was like the sharpest knife, cutting in Sophia's body, “when I asked you to drink, you pretend to be pure and innocent, I thought you are noble. But you're the kind of woman who rubs in a man's arms after a few drinks.”

Sophia knew what his words meant and felt sad, but she wanted to vomit.

Sophia shook her head trying to free her chin from his hand. She must leave at once, or she would vomit all over Stephen.

With tears from the corner of her eyes, Sophia grabbed Stephen's arm, shaking, “When will you marry me?! When will you marry me?!”

Sophia buried her face in Stephen's arms, and her tears soon soaked his white shirt.

“You said you would marry me. You said you were going to have the biggest wedding for me. You said you would love me forever. Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? How could you betray me?! How could you betray me?!” At this, Sophia opened her mouth, across the thin shirt, bit Stephen’s chest hard.

Stephen got annoyed and wanted to push her away, but Sophia grasped him more tightly. She leaned to his body, and resolutely refused to let him leave.

“You bent down and tied my shoelaces. You carried me to class on rainy days. You worked two jobs a month to buy me a dress. You skipped meals to save money for my birthday. You'd rather cut your foot than carry me across the shallows. You said you could die for me, but why did you betray me? Why did you marry another woman?”

“And prison...” Sophia raised her head, looked at Stephen with a pair of tearful eyes, “Five years ago, we went home together, it was you accidentally hit and killed a person, I......

Sophia mumbled and Stephen could only vaguely hear “hit and killed a person”. Hearing that, his face became dark and pushed her away.

Sophia stumbled and fell to the ground. She sat on the ground and continued to shout at Stephen, “Vincent, I was in prison for five years, and you married another woman and have a five year old son!”

Stephen was angry, grabbed one of her arms to the bathroom, opened the nozzle, and sprayed water on Sophia’s body.
