Uncontrollable Fondness novel Chapter 37

Sophia’s delicate and weak body twitched in his embrace and turned and looked at him, “Those were in the past, why mention about them, I hate to give others nicknames.”

Time really could change a lot of things. In the past, Sophia would have straight hair and mischievously shout at him, “Rocky, Rocky.” Now Sophia has curly locks and slumped in his embrace calling him softly, “William dear.”

Perhaps when women grew up, they’ll be more reserved. William didn’t want to think too much into it. The beautiful eyes couldn’t cover the overflowing affection. He caressed her hair and smirked when he thought about the past, “I didn’t expect that the first time we met would be at the drain behind the house. At that time you said that you wanted to save me and in the end, you slipped and fell in. You almost made me fall together with you. Haha, after that you found out that it’s because I was afraid of blood that was why I couldn’t climb up. You were so scared and yet you had to encourage me. You were so young then.”

“Scared of blood?” Sophia looked up at a loss and blinked.

William laughed deeply and hugged her tightly, “This was my deepest secret and was discovered by you. But then in America, I went through therapy and resolved it…”

“Talk about the things that happened in America. I like to listen to them.” Sophia suddenly interrupted him, while blinking her eyes. William lost his enthusiasm, “There’s nothing to say.” The days without her was boring. He placed her down and covered her with the blanket. William looked at her and stood upright.

“I need to go for a meeting, have a good rest, I’ll come tonight to accompany you.”

“William dear…” Sophia’s hand suddenly reached out and held his shoulder, refusing to let him leave. Her small face leaned onto his arm and a soft and frail voice said, “William dear, have you started to like someone else?”

William bent down to look at her and caressed her hair again and said, “How could it be, you are the only one I love.”

“Then why did you bring her home, I know her, she’s the one I sent for a pregnancy surrogate.”

There was a slight awkwardness but William didn’t reveal his feelings and softly said, “I let her stay at home to make it convenient for her to donate her bone marrow to you. Don’t overthink it.”

“William set her away!” Sophia suddenly said, her fragile face was insistent, “I don’t want her bone marrow, I just want her gone!”

“Sophia, don’t be childish.” William was starting to get upset. Sophia already showed a look of crying, “William, I know that you were with her, I can only blame my body… that I can’t fulfill your needs. I know that you care about me and chose her to be a surrogate to make me happy. But when I thought about someone able to fully replace me, I couldn’t stand it. William, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be so selfish but I love you…”

He wiped her tears and it was like touching pearls. His gentleness was so obvious. He lifted her head and said with sincerity, “Sophia, trust me, you are the only one in my heart. No one can replace you. I guarantee that after the bone marrow transplant is complete, I will let her leave. Once you recover we will be together and by that time you can bear me plenty of kids.”

“Really? Can it really?”

The pale face finally had some pinkish hue and her eyes lit up. Sophia’s expression fell into William’s eyes and into his heart. He grasped her hands and pulls them to his chest and nodded firmly, “Yes, our blissful life will begin very soon.”

The door was opened and James walked in.

Sophia saw him and waved excitedly. James was smiling warmly and very different from his usual serious expression. He looked at them embracing and raised his eyebrow and quickly glanced away. He joked, “Look at you to displaying your affection for all to see, are you intentionally making single and unwanted men like me envy you?”

Sophia started to blush and William didn’t bother about James. He kissed her forehead before saying, “You James can have whatever type of woman you wish, stop your acting.”

James laughed and Sophia smirked and smiled as she eased off William’s embrace. She looked decently at James and said, “James, William said that when I recover from this illness, I’ll be able to bear him children. Is that true?”

“Give birth to children?” James started to smile, and after composing himself, “Yeah, of course.”

“Then quickly do the operation for me.” Sophia’s anxiety instead hurt James’s feelings. His face twitched uncomfortably and bury his feelings for her even deeper.

It was his secret that he likes Sophia, even his best friend William doesn’t know. It started when he saw her sitting pitifully at the drain behind the house.

She wore a princess dress that day and her curly hair was in a mess. Her face was scratched and her hands full of mud. There was some blood on her princess dress and she was shaking like a lost little bird.

What kind of woman can make the strange cold arrogant William fall for her? He didn’t expect that a young kid that wasn’t more than ten years old. James wanted to tease her but when he saw her fear and anxiety, he instead felt the need to protect her.
