Chapter 585 The Banquet Organized by Mayor Sutton
"No, Gloria..."
Before Aiden finished speaking, Noah hung up the phone directly.
Gloria was beside him, and she heard most of what Aiden had said. She could feel that Noah's father did not seem to allow their marriage.
"Noah, don't force yourself. If..."
Gloria felt pretty sorry as she did not want to see Noah suffer any grievance.
"Don't worry about what my father said. We'll get the marriage license right after we get back."
Gloria didn't know what to say, but she followed him anyway.
Sophia wanted to see Noah off, since they were friends after all, but knowing that he had gone, she did not do that.
When Sophia and Helena came back to Chloe, the baby had returned.
Chloe looked at the baby with motherly tenderness on her face.
"Sophia, Helena, see, the baby looks like me!"
Sophia and Helena would not tell her that what the baby has encountered.
Then Chloe suddenly looked up and looked at Sophia. "Sophia, I finally understand why you wanted to give birth to Bonnie in any case. With such a small baby, I've never been so satisfied."
Children were amazing. You might never dislike others' children, but at the moment your own children came to the earth, you would really love them.
"Let me hug him!"
Sophia held the child in her arms when he woke up, and she was teasing him.
But the child was too young to know what it was like to be tickled, only to move about amusingly.
Helena was eager to hold the baby but she did not know how to start.
Chloe could not help but smile. "Helena, come on. Perhaps you are going to be a mother as well. If you did not know how to hold the child, Travis must blame on you!"
Sophia also said with a smile, "Chloe, you may be wrong. You may think that my brother is a male chauvinist, but if he has a child, he may not allow Helena touch him. He will immediately become a good dad and take good care of the children and Helena!"
"Oh, I'm so jealousy to hear you say that."
Chloe's words made everyone laugh.
But Chloe just gave birth and could not play for too long. She needed a good rest. Then Sophia and Helena left her.
In the evening, Bailey invited everyone to have a dinner.
But Sophia said with a smile, "Alright, you owe me a dinner, but we should wait for Chloe to complete a month of confinement after giving birth!"
If without Chloe, the meal would be boring.
Everyone thought the same. Then Bailey agreed.
The next day, Sara was back at work.
Sophia noticed that there was no trace on Sara's face, for her staying at home for so long and recovering completely.
"You are back!"
Sophia talked to her.
Sophia could always pretend as if nothing had happened. This was what Sara hated Sophia the most.
But Sara would never forget what she'd been through.
"Well, I've been at home for so long. I'm sure I'll catch up. Rest assured."
"I certainly trust you. Well, I don't bother you. Hurry back to work!"
"Yes!"
Sophia returned to the office.
However, she already had eyes on Sara.
But she did not know if Sara was Rashad's only pawn. No matter what, she would have her men spy on Sara.
Then her assistant sent her an invitation, informing her that there was a banquet organized by Mayor Sutton in the evening and asking whether she would join or not.
Sophia nodded. "Since it's the mayor's invitation, of course I will go there."
"OK, I'll make a reply now."
At that time, Sara just came by, stepping forward and saying, "Ms. Lawson, will you bring someone tonight?"
Sophia glanced at her and said, "Do you want to go?"
"Yes, I do! Since I want to be your most important helper again, I need to know more people to help you with something."
Sophia didn't think that was Sara's purpose, but whatever it was, she could just take Sara and see what she would do.
"Alright!"
Sara walked out and the assistant looked worried.
"Ms. Lawson, is it really a great idea?"
"Why not? I am sure that she will do something as she has just came back. Even if I do not take her there today, she will find a way to get there by herself."
So, Sophia would rather keep Sara by her side to monitor whatever Sara did.
"Yes, I see."
At night, the neon lights of Sealand lit up, and the city was always demonstrating what "prosperity" was.
Sara and Sophia arrived at Sealand Grand Hotel by car.
Today Sara was not beautifully dressed. After all, she was not here to show off herself. And as a qualified secretary, she knew what she should do in appropriate time, and would not overshadow Sophia for some private purposes.
What Sophia wore was not very attractive, but she was born with a good temperament, so whatever she wore would show her beauty.
When they showed up together, they drew everybody's attention.
Rashad came towards them, with a goblet in his hand, looking as gentle as when Sophia had met him for the first time.
"Sophia, welcome!"
Sophia knew, of course, that many people were watching them now.
With a smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Witt, please call me Mrs. Riley from now on!"
"I think it's more friendly to call you Sophia!"
"You don't have to be friendly to me. Out of politeness, I have greeted you. I have something else to do, please help yourself, Mr. Witt!"
Then Sophia left.
Rashad did not follow, but winked at Sara.
Sara nodded and followed her.
When Mayor Sutton saw that she was coming and came up to her.
His achievements owed to Sophia.
"Ms. Lawson, welcome!"
"Mayor Sutton, congratulations to you. Since you became the mayor of Sealand, you have brought a lot of benefits to this city. The civilians adore you very much!"
With a sincere smile on Sophia's face, she felt that it was very worthwhile to help Harris Sutton to get this position.
Harris shook his head awkwardly, "I owe gratitude to your mother-in-law. I didn't understand a lot of questions before, so I went to ask her, and she told me what to do. Then I did it, and now the credit is all mine. I'm really ashamed!"
"It's fine. My mother-in-law does not like to take credit. She has always liked to be an unworldly person. As long as you live up to her efforts, that will be enough."
