As Calvin said this, Hazel came back from the toilet. Seeing that someone bullied Sophia, she pushed Calvin from behind: "Who are you? What do you want?"
Emmanuel immediately pulled Hazel to the side, whispered to her: "This is Sophia's brother."
Hazel was stunned and looked to Calvin.
Sophia feared that Calvin would beat Hazel, so she held Calvin's arm. Calvin lowered his head and saw Sophia’s watch on the wrist. He was born in a wealthy family, so he naturally knew it was genuine, not fake.
Calvin smiled in sarcasm and grabbed Sophia's arm: "Sister, you are awesome! You just came out from prison and picked up a rich man and gained such an expensive watch! We saw a man in the airport, and now you ate with another man. Good, sister, I can't help admiring you!"
"But, sister, when you are enjoying, will you think of your mother? You caused her to death! Sophia, do you still have conscience?"
Calvin shook off Sophia's hand and turned to walk away.
Sophia immediately caught up: "Calvin! Calvin! It's not what you think! I did not pick up a rich man! I did not forget parents and you! Calvin, you misunderstood me!"
Sophia pulled Calvin and did not let him leave.
Calvin was angry: "Misunderstand?" He grabbed Sophia's wrist, pointing to her watch, "How did I misunderstand you? Is this watch a fake? Isn't this a man's watch?"
Sophia had nothing to say. Because it was true.
Looking at Sophia’s the other wrist without any scar and her wronged face, Calvin was angrier: "Sophia, please be honest if you want to see me. Don't lie! Vincent said you committed suicide, but your wrist has no scar on it. Did you just cut superficial skin, squeeze out two drops of blood to cheat Vincent to ask me back?"
"Sophia, I won't be fooled by you again! In this life, I will never come back to see you again until you are dead and see your death certificate!"
Calvin angrily walked away. Sophia wanted to go after, but there were too many people in the barbecue shop, as well as many tables and chairs. Just after going out a few steps, she was tripped over and fell to the ground. Big tears fell out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Vincent hurriedly came to help her. Emmanuel pushed Vincent away and held Sophia into his arms: "Stay from Sophia!"
Vincent took a look at Calvin who had now walked far away, and then at Sophia in Emmanuel’s arms. He pressed his lips: "Sophia, I will go to persuade Calvin and arrange you to meet in a few days."
After handing over the job to his staff, Emmanuel and Hazel sent Sophia to the apartment of Hazel.
Holding Hazel, Sophia cried for a long time. Hazel and Emmanuel silently accompanied by her side. At this time, company was needed.
After three hours, Sophia stopped crying, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and Emmanuel immediately brought a cold towel for her to apply to her eyes.
Sophia lowered her head and did not speak. Emmanuel brought a cup of hot milk and said, "Sophia, it's getting late. You have to go to work tomorrow. After drinking this cup of milk, you and Hazel go to bed."
Stephen stood beside the bed for a long time and did not unbutton his shirt. Finally he was disappointed at himself and turned to go.
As he left, the woman jumped out of bed and clasped his arms, deliberately pressing him with her breasts. "Sir, have I done something wrong? Why do you want to go?"
The woman's voice was very pleasant to hear.
Seeing that Stephen did not speak, the woman bit lips and continued to say: "Sir, what requirements do you have? I can do that for you."
Stephen broke free from her hand and walked away silently.
After taking a bath, Stephen wrapped himself in a towel and came out. He went downstairs to get a bottle of red wine from the fridge and poured it in a tall glass. When half the bottle was drank, he put down his glass and lay down on the bed to sleep.
He fell asleep, but it was not sound. When he woke at three in the morning, he had only been asleep for over an hour.
Stephen stood at the window in his dressing gown, pulled open the curtain and looked out at the night. It was quiet, too. Insects chirped faintly in the grass. Standing on the second floor, he could clearly see the scene before the carved iron door with no trace of anyone or animals.
He got irritated and then made a call.
