Drake said respectfully, "Mom, Mrs. Lawson, will you please come out? I have something to tell you."
Emma, of course, knew what he was thinking, while Laura looked at Sophia, who shook her head desperately.
However, the two came out anyway. Drake was still holding Sophia's hand.
Laura sighed. Finally, the day came!
In the corridor, Drake said, "Mrs. Lawson, I have known Bonnie is my daughter. We have known each other for a long time and I'm sure you know me well. I must take her back to the Riley family now that I've known her existence."
"But I can't give up on Sophia. I have been separated from her for so long. I don't want to miss out on her again! Two years ago, I wanted to marry her and get the marriage certificates, but I didn't have a proper chance. Because Sophia and I didn't have the marriage certificates, that problem between us easily separated us."
"But that problem has been settled. Noah promised he would give up on Sophia. In that case, nothing can stop Sophia and I from getting back together. Also, I wish to give Bonnie an intact family. So, I'm going to marry Sophia."
"I mean I'll marry her right now. I don't want to wait one more minute."
Emma, as Drake's mother, was on his side.
"Laura, you know Drake. He has been in love with Sophia since he was 19 and now he's already 28. They were forced to get separated back then. They have suffered the pain of separation, but in the end, they met again. It means that they are destined to be together. So, Laura, please think about it. Don't let them miss each other again."
Laura looked at Sophia.
Sophia opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but hearing Emma's words, she suddenly felt that they had indeed wasted a lot of time, and she could not be so selfish. Even if she didn't want to come back to Drake, what about Bonnie?
She knew exactly how much Bonnie needed her father.
Besides, she still felt something for Drake.
"I need to talk about it with Sophia's father."
Emma smiled, knowing that Laura was considering it.
"Well, we'll wait over here."
Her implication was obvious. She wanted Sophia's parents to make a decision right away.
In fact, Laura didn't intend to put it off. After all, Sophia was also 28. And Sophia and Drake had wasted too much time.
"By the way, Laura, I have another request. Can Drake and I stay with Bonnie tonight?"
She was asking Laura and Sophia to leave.
Laura looked at Sophia. Sophia's silence implied agreement.
"Well, then Sophia and I will go home now."
"Drake, drive them home."
Drake sent the two home, but he did not go in because he knew that the Lawsons needed a family meeting to discuss the matter.
Although he did not show up, he believed that the result would be what he wanted.
When they got home, Sophia's father and four brothers who had been waiting all looked anxious.
Seeing them home, they walked up and asked, "How did it go?"
Sophia told them about what had happened in the Greenspan family and that Noah had decided to give up on her and set her free. Everyone was relieved to hear that.
