Chapter 506 Did I Actually Say That
That very night, Sophia went out for a feast with Lenora.
She was overjoyed and accidentally drank a few more glasses than she intended. Her cheeks flushed a vivid red, and she began to let loose.
On the way back, Sophia slept through the entire car ride.
“Hmm?” She rubbed her bleary eyes, yawned, and glanced at the view outside the car. “Are we home? Nora, why aren't you getting out?”
“How do I get out?” Lenora asked with a slight smile.
When Sophia lowered her gaze, she saw herself clinging to her like an octopus.
She gave a shy smile, releasing Lenora.
Once inside the elevator, Sophia rubbed her forehead and asked, “I didn't do anything strange, did I?”
“No.”
“Thank God...” Sophia exhaled.
“You only gave Zephyr a call.”
Sophia was taken aback, her breath catching in her throat. Unable to remember what she had done, she quickly asked, “Did I say anything inappropriate?”
“No.”
Before Sophia could catch her breath, she heard Lenora say, “You just sang a few songs for him.”
“What did I sing?” Sophia's heart tightened with worry.
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
“And?”
“Humpty Dumpty.”
Sophia nearly lost her composure. “A-And?”
“Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.”
“Enough,” Sophia said, massaging her forehead. “Why didn't you stop me?”
“I did... but you called him again, complaining that I was bullying you and stopping you from calling him.”
“I'm leaving Earth. Goodbye.”
Sophia pulled out her phone, glancing at the first entry in her call history.
The contact was Zephyr, and the call had lasted thirty-seven minutes.
She began to reflect in silence. What exactly did I say to him during those thirty-seven minutes?
Will he think I'm superficial? Obsessed with money? A gold digger?
Should I explain to him?
Sophia typed out several messages to him but ended up deleting them all.
Never mind, I'll just pretend I don't know!
Suddenly, Zephyr's phone call came through.
Startled, Sophia took a deep breath before answering the phone. “Hello?”
“Have you reached home?” Zephyr's deep voice rang out.
Sophia held her breath, collected her thoughts, and feigned ignorance. “Yeah... Wait, how did you know I was outside?”
“You called me.”
“Really? I had a few drinks, so my memory's a bit hazy. If I said anything offensive, please don't take it seriously.”
“Why would I? You only talked about secretly selling the mansion to fund a few pretty boys just to get back at me. How could I possibly take that seriously?”
Sophia's mind went completely blank.
Zephyr continued, “By the way, you mentioned wanting to see how much the mushroom has grown.”
“What mushroom?”
Sophia froze for a moment.
Zephyr remained silent.
He didn't say anything, yet it seemed as though he did.
Suddenly, the realization hit Sophia. She was dumbfounded, and her heart momentarily stopped.
“No... No way... Did I actually say that?” Her face reflected sheer despair.
If she had wings, she'd have vanished from the face of the Earth by now.
“Do you want to listen to the recording?”
“No, no, thank you.”
Zephyr's magnetic chuckle resonated through the phone.
