Sophia thought Rashad finally got it removed. Thus, she immediately called Rashad with a smile.
"You are so amazing, my cousin. The video is gone so soon."
Rashad was confused and angry. He had been staring at the screen. He never tried to delete the video. He just wanted to make the whole thing more popular. The more people knew about this, the worse the relationship between Sophia and Drake would be.
He planned to delete the video when most people knew about it.
But Rashad didn't expect that the video actually just disappeared after a while.
However, it seemed that Sophia didn't know who did this, so he decided to take the credit.
"It's no biggie. I just wish it would not bother you."
"It won't. I am going to have the media post news about some celebrities. The netizens will soon forget about that video."
"Well, I guess you are right, Sophia. Since I have returned to the Riley family, I can't stay so close to you as before. We need to avert suspicion. Don't worry. Things like this will never happen again."
Sophia felt a little bit guilty. After all, Rashad was just a victim in her eyes.
"Rashad..."
Rashad smiled. He knew that he managed to muddle through when he heard Sophia call him like that.
After work, Sophia managed to diminish the impact of the rumor. When she got home, Bonnie ran over to her immediately, and reached out her small hand as a sign for Sophia to squat down.
Sophia slowly squatted down and Bonnie whispered, "Mommy, you should be careful. Papa seemed very angry after he came back. Don't anger him more."
"Got it!"
Sophia knew why Drake was angry. She gently stroked Bonnie's head and said, "You should go to have fun now. I will take care of your papa!"
"Alright, Mommy. You got this!"
Bonnie then made a gesture of cheering her mom up, which was very cute.
Sophia felt encouraged and then walked quietly to Drake. She sat down next to him and nudged him.
"Are you angry?"
Drake didn't say anything.
"Are you jealous?"
Drake stayed silent.
"Seriously? Come on!" Sophia smiled and turned Drake's face towards her with her hands. When she met Drake's angry eyes, she didn't know what to say.
"Shouldn't I be angry?"
Drake finally spoke.
Sophia was speechless.
"Shouldn't I be jealous?"
Sophia was still silent.
"Well, you are not talking now?"
Sophia knew that she couldn't be silent forever. If she didn't explain, Drake would only be angrier.
"Honey, you saw the video, right? It was only because of the car. Our cousin saved my life. He didn't mean to hug me. And I didn't want him to!"
"Can't you dodge on your own?"
Drake had seen how agile Sophia was. Sophia could be more agile than most men.
"I surely can, but before I was about to, he just held me into his arms."
