Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

Sophia was caught off guard for a moment.

Then, realizing the situation, she quickly covered her mouth and explained in a hurry, “I just ate something, spicy and it made me uncomfortable. I rushed to rinse my mouth and accidentally bit my lip…”

It was a plausible excuse, as Julian had just coaxed her into trying a piece of spicy steak.

Usually, she never touched spicy food.

Julian had been concerned about her, but Sophia’s expression was so unnatural, showing a bit of nervousness and the panic of almost being caught.

Looking at her flustered and embarrassed state, Julian felt a pang in his heart. A wave of jealousy welled up in his chest.

He knew she was lying, and the only person who could disrupt her composure was his nephew, Damian.

He had guarded his love for Sophia for over a decade but was too afraid to confess, fearing he’d scare her away.

So, he’d settled for an engagement agreement with her, worried lé’a never have another chance.

She was his fiancée in name, yet Damian’s legal wife.

He told himself that no matter how close they’d been in the past three years, it was normal.

They’d shared many intimate moments. But why did it still hurt when he learned they’d kissed?

A wild thought flashed through his mind. Julian wanted to kiss. her, too, to taste his little girl.

He lifted her chin and gently wiped the corner of her lips with his thumb, asking softly, “Does it hurt?”

“Yes, it does!” Sophia nodded pitifully, forcing a smile to reassure him.

“Silly girl, don’t bite yourself like this again. Tell me if

something’s wrong,” Julian soothed her tenderly, his eyes full of affection.

Sophia nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with gratitude towards him as an elder. “I know, Julian,”

She intended to pull Julian away quickly, but unexpectedly, he bent down without hesitation, his lips approaching hers.

Just then, a cold voice rang out from afar.

“Uncle Julian, the party has started. You’re the main guest. It’s not appropriate to be lost in love here.”

Startled, Sophia instinctively turned her head towards the source of the sound.

Her cheek just barely brushed against Julian’s warm lips, which felt soft and delicate.

Julian’s heart skipped a beat. He also looked in the direction she’d turned.

There, Damian stood not far away, looking like a menacing figure from the underworld.

He still carried the fierce aura from his race with Sebastian.

It made Sophia’s heart skip a beat when she met his bloodshot

eyes.

She felt guilty,

Yes, guilty.

She’d almost kissed another man in front of her legal husband.

Although she’d decided to cut ties with Damian, they were still legally married.

She couldn’t get over that mental hurdle, at least not yet be able to be affectionate with another man in front of him.

Ignoring their surprised expressions, Damian strode forward and passed by them.

His arm lightly brushed against Sophia’s clothes, but he didn’t

stop.

His back seemed a bit lonely.

Sophia stared in the direction he’d gone, lost in thought.

“Feeling sorry for him? You’re so lost in thought…” Julian stared intently at her and said.

Sophia instinctively tilted her chin up in denial. “I’m not.”

Julian closed the distance between them, his hand settling lightly on the slope of her shoulder.

His nearness surrounded her, the clean, subtle scent of him filling the space between their breaths.

“Look at your frowning face. Can our Sophia really be heartless?”

They were so close that Sophia could clearly feel his strong

masculinity and his powerful heartbeat.

She looked up in surprise and met his eyes, which were similar to Damian’s but with a teasing glint.
