In retrospect, Sophia had never been so serious. It seemed that they would no longer be in touch with each other after this banquet.
Drake admitted that he was much more scared than ever before. He didn't want to lose Sophia...
After he understood Emma's hint, he was about to turn around.
At the same time, Sophia stepped forward and said, "Mr. Riley, you're right. I have never thought of making up with you since we broke up. So you never stand a chance, never."
In front of so many people, Sophia refused Drake.
Everyone was watching them incredulously.
Some guys were imagining if they had a chance to be Sophia's boyfriends.
The happiest person was Noah. He believed he would have the best chance if Sophia stood firm in what she said.
And the Lawsons also felt gratified that Sophia could say so.
They nodded at her and went to the other side with Sophia since the banquet was not over yet.
Drake kept looking at Sophia, and Emma said in an upset tone, "Drake, you're not an impulsive man, are you?"
"But I can't stay calm facing things about her!" growled Drake.
Emma clearly knew how much her son loved Sophia.
Did Sophia not like Drake? Of course, she did.
But she didn't think they could be a couple after deliberation, so she distanced herself from him.
And now, she just showed how determined she was in public.
Emma shook her head.
"Emma!" The Old Riley walked to her and called.
Although they saw each other when the banquet just began, they didn't have a chance to talk.
Emma turned her head towards him and said impassively, "Good evening, Nathan Riley!"
At this time, the Old Riley recalled what Olivia did before and then thought of Emma.
He knew Emma was Sophia's teacher.
Once upon a time Drake and Sophia were destined to be together, but now things were different.
After a long while, he uttered, "I used to be your father-in-law. You can feel free to talk to me."
"Old Mr. Riley, what do you want?" said Sophia's aloof voice.
"I know we have hurt your feeling, as well as Sophia's, but you are different from her. You have ever lived with us, I treated you well back then, and you have had two kids for Baron..."
But Emma interrupted him, "Stop it. It's unnecessary to talk about the past."
The Old Riley's unfinished words stuck in his throat.
Then Olivia walked over and said, "Emma, are you a bit out of line? Dad is talking to you in a kind manner."
"It's none of your business," the Old Riley growled at Olivia.
