The moment Sophia uttered his name, Drake's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes."
"I thought about it, and I cannot be responsible for you just because of that."
He had expected Sophia would say so.
"I did drink too much that night. Though I took the initiative, it was me that lost more. And now that I'm willing to let it go, you should forget it as well."
"Is that what you really mean?"
Sophia nodded.
"What if I can't do that?"
She looked at him helplessly. "Why don't you correct the mistake if you know it? Do you think we can go back to the old times even if we are together?"
"Why not? Why can't we go back?"
Sophia had no idea how to answer that question, "Because it's not something you can easily get. When we were together, we were simple-minded and created a lot of wonderful memories, which were the most unforgettable in my lifetime. But now our getting back together involves our families, interests and other things."
"To not ruin our wonderful memories, we should not mess with each other. Haven't you thought about it? A lot of married people choose to marry the most suitable ones rather than the beloved ones."
Drake stared at her the whole time without speaking a word.
Sophia looked away. "Sure, there are some exceptions, but those are rare."
"So, you think we can't be one of those exceptions? Sophia, do you believe we are destined to be together? We are closely tied together when my mother divorced my father and went to your side."
"Even if we hadn't gone to the same university or met each other, we would meet the other day, like on my mom's birthday party, and even end up being together."
"To tell you the truth, Sophia, the moment I saw you on my mother's birthday, I knew nothing could separate us. I love you, and you love me too. There's no way you could deny it. Though it might be too childish to say that our love will conquer everything, I really do think we should be together."
Sophia was speechless.
"What do you want to eat?"
He suddenly changed the subject.
She cast him a glance, "No need. I will eat when I'm home."
"But I haven't eaten anything. Let's have dinner together."
Despite Sophia's rejection, he began to order.
The moment Sophia was about to stand up, Cecelia, fuming with anger, came from the doorway. "Sophia, you slut. How dare you trying you seduce Drake now that he's my fiancé."
Before she could come close to Sophia, Drake pushed her away.
Maybe he pushed her too hard. She fell on the floor.
"Drake..." She looked at him unbelievably.
Drake looked as indifferent as ever, "Who sent you here, Cecelia?"
"Drake, I'm your fiancee. Why are you hanging out with this woman? You and she are over, aren't you?"
Drake looked at her, "Whether we are over or not is up to me, and it's none of your business."
Cecelia slowly stood up from the floor, "What do you mean, Drake? Are you going to choose her over me?"
"I will give you an answer."
"What answer? I saved you and you agreed to marry me, Drake. Everyone now knows that we are going to get married. Are you going to abandon me just like that?"
