Inwardly, he added, 'I miss you, too, Sophia.'
"How about tomorrow morning? I'll be free."
"OK. I'll pick you up."
Before Sophia spoke again, he asked, "Don't you want to get down?"
She had to push the door open and get off.
Actually, she wanted to refuse his proposal of picking her up the following day.
However, the next second, he started the engine and pulled away.
Frowning, Sophia had a headache, realizing Drake was still like before.
The next day, Sophia got up early to avoid Drake. Some indescribable charm in him almost made her feel uneasy.
Much to her surprise, after she got ready and left the apartment, she saw Drake waiting for her, leaning against his car.
"I thought it would take you longer."
Sophia felt too embarrassed to ask him why he had arrived so early. However, since he was waiting, she couldn't refuse him. Hence, she sat in the passenger's seat.
"Did you have breakfast?" Drake asked.
Sophia dared not to look at him. "Well, I did."
"You have nothing in the apartment. Tell me what you had."
Was so fond of exposing her lies?
Sophia probably had used up all her strength in the past few days. She looked up at him and asked, "Mr. Riley, what does it have to do with you if I had breakfast or not?"
"You are my mother's student. After you return, I'm supposed to take care of you. Sit still, Ms. Lawson."
Sophia was rendered wordless.
They pulled up to a five-star hotel. When Drake pursued her, he insisted on having breakfast with her every day.
The memories were beautiful. However, recalling them right now tortured her.
Drake didn't let her order but ordered food for her.
While eating, they didn't speak.
During breakfast, Bonnie made a video call to Sophia.
Thinking Drake couldn't see Bonnie's appearance, she answered it.
"Morning, Mommy!"
"Morning, Bonnie. Did you miss Mommy?"
"Right. I miss you every second, every minute. Where are you now, Mommy?"
The little girl's voice was pleasant to the ear. Although Drake couldn't see her, he could imagine she should look like Sophia.
He used to imagine Sophia and he would have a lovely child countless times.
However, everything between them had become bygone.
Drake believed the child of Sophia and Noah should also be adorable.
After exchanging a few words, Sophia hung up.
"Your... daughter?" Drake asked subconsciously.
Sophia's heart jolted. She said slowly, "Yep, my daughter."
They fell into silence again.
The tense atmosphere suffocated them. Both felt it hard to catch up their breath.
Finally, Drake asked, "I'm full. Have you done?"
"Me too."
