Come And Hug Me

Chapter 41 – Feel Uncomfortable.

Chloe clenched her fists in anger at Olivia's rude words to Sophia. However, Sophia restrained Chloe from doing something that would harm herself.

Olivia wanted to come not because she liked Vio, but she wanted to be a witness how Sophia would be hurt and hurt to see her ex-fiancé's marriage, she would be very happy to see Sophia destroyed.

"Of course, sweet child! You must come because you are beautiful and famous, it's an honor for me, if necessary you can come with your sister". Answered Viona who was trying to curry favor with Olivia because she really didn't like arrogant girls like Olivia.

"I think I will come alone because my sister is too busy preparing for her engagement party with the CEO of W Group". Olivia said proudly.

Everyone who heard it immediately felt jealous, including Vio.

Rumors about the cold and very handsome W Group CEO were already circulating. Everyone wants to see what he looks like. Unfortunately, Michael never wanted to show up.

"Wow… the mysterious CEO of W Group? How lucky your sister is to have him. Then don't forget to invite me later!". Vio said hopefully.

Sophia starts to lose her composure hearing Olivia's words, because she knows that the CEO of the W Group he is referring to is Michael. 

"I've finished eating. So, I'll be leaving now!". Sophia said with a complicated expression. 

After that, Sophia left the cafeteria with complicated feelings. She knows who Olivia's sister is, she is Clara who is one of the beautiful and successful women in the Fashion industry. Naturally, she thought she would lose if she had a romantic rival like Clara.

Sophia also thinks that Clara and Michael are the perfect couple and they match each other in terms of status and appearance.

Meanwhile, Vio smiled slyly because she felt victorious when she saw Sophia's expression which showed her irritation. 

Vio suspected that Sophia was upset because of the invitation letter, when in fact she was like that because of Michael.

Chloe, who was fed up with the situation, immediately ran after Sophia. 

"Shopia … Are you serious to come to Vio and George's wedding?". Chloe asked after she managed to catch up to Sophia.

"Of course I'm sure!". Sophia answered with a smile.

"But, coming to your ex's party isn't good in the end. Don't you want to think again?". Chloe was worried for Sophia because she knew very well the story of the three of them.

"I've been invited, so I have to come". Sophia was determined that nothing could change her. 

Chloe couldn't say anything but sighed and hoped that Sophia would be okay, because after all, Chloe thought that Sophia was her best senior and she loved the most.

After finishing teaching, Sophia received a message from her mother to go home. She reluctantly agreed.

It didn't take long, Sophia finally arrived in front of her stepfather's house.

Instantly, Sophia was stunned when she saw many people in the house.

"What's going on here?" Inner Sophia.

After that, she entered the house past several people who seemed busy with their own business.

Sitting room. 

"Good afternoon, Mother. I'm coming!". 

Everyone immediately turned to Sophia when they heard her words.

"Finally you come, come here!". Lawrence said with a smile.

Sophia nodded and sat next to her mother. 

"Mom, what's going on here?" asked Sophia in surprise.

"Charlotte's proposal event, the beautiful and cute little girl will soon be proposed by her rich lover". Charlotte's grandmother said. 

Mrs. Lawrence was silent because her mother-in-law had already gone ahead of her to answer Sophia's question.

"I'm happy, I hope Charlotte is happy!" Sophia said while smiling sincerely.

"Without your prayers, I will definitely be happy because I married a handsome and rich man like Bony. Unlike someone who was married to an unknown person but was divorced, it was her turn to remarry instead before tying the knot. It's really sad!". Charlotte said while smiling haughtily at Sophia.

Sophia could only take a deep breath because she didn't want to argue or get into trouble with Charlotte.

Because now, she wasn't the former whiny Sophia. Painful experiences made her strong and not easily knocked down.

Mrs. Lawrence held Sophia's hand with complicated feelings, she knew that her daughter was stronger than she feared.

"Yesterday Lisa received an invitation from her former college friend. She said that the one who would marry her friend was Mr. George, who is none other than your ex-fiancé. Is that true, Sophia?". asked one of the elders in her stepfather's family.

Everyone in her stepfather's family knew that Sophia was close to marrying Mr. George. Therefore they always find out the reason for the failure of the marriage.

Sophia smiled as she looked at the elder. "What Lisa said is true".

Everyone in the living room was immediately shocked, some of them looked at Sophia with pity. While some of the others mocked Sophia and felt happy.

"That means Mr. George has good eyes, he knows what's worthy and what isn't, moreover I know his future wife, she's beautiful, kind and comes from a good family. Of course they'd look perfect together". Charlotte said with an evil smile.

Mrs. Lawrence was starting to lose her temper, she couldn't stand it if her daughter was kept in the corner by her stepdaughter. She immediately changed the subject. 

"Shopia… Sorry for interrupting your busy life! Mom asked you to come here to help prepare for Charlotte's engagement, you don't mind right?".

"Of course I'll help what I can". Sophia answered with a smile, she was not affected by their words and insinuations because her heart was already immune.

"Good then, how about you stay here tonight and you can see Charlotte's fiancée?".

"She can't stay the night! Because I'm afraid she's going to seduce Charlotte's future husband". Charlotte's grandmother said sarcastically. 

"Mother.. Don't talk like that! After all, Sophia is Charlotte's sister. So, there's no way she would do that". Said her stepfather. Sophia, who felt uncomfortable seeing her stepdaughter in the corner.

"It's okay, Dad. I can't stay the night either". Sophia didn't want any fights because of her. Therefore she immediately stopped it. After all, she wasn't interested in staying overnight.

Her stepfather couldn't help but smile, after that Sophia glanced at her mother then held her hand and said, "Mother… I will help prepare for Charlotte's engagement, but I'm sorry I can't stay tonight because I have a lot of work to do".

Mrs. Lawrence just nodded her head because she thought it was better for her daughter.

After finishing helping prepare for the engagement, Sophia immediately left her stepfather's house. 

It didn't take long, Sophia finally arrived at the house she rented.

Just then, Sophia was surprised to see Michael standing in front of the gate. 

"Michael… Since when have you been here?". Sophia asked while frowning. 

"Since six o'clock in the afternoon after I get home from work". Michael replied nervously.

Sophia was surprised, she didn't expect Michael to wait for two hours.

"Since I have seen you, then I will leave immediately". Michael said as he turned and opened his car door. 

"Have you eaten yet?". asked Sophia haltingly.

Michael smiled and immediately turned to Sophia. 

"Not yet, but I can eat at home." Michael replied.

"Come in, I'll make food for you!"

After saying that, Sophia opened the gate of her house.

"Yes". Michael was very happy that Sophia wanted to invite him in. Moreover, he will be made food by Shopia. 

It had been his dream for a long time.

Not long after that, they entered the house. Jennifer, who had been watching TV all this time, was surprised.

Instantly, Jennifer became awkward and immediately ran to her room after greeting Michael nervously.

"Sit down, I'll cook for you!". Sophia said expressionlessly.

After that, Sophia rushed into the kitchen. But instead, Michael followed her into the kitchen. Sophia stopped then turned to stare in surprise at Michael.

"Why are you following me?". Ask Sophia. 

"I want to help you to be faster". Michael replied.

Sophia thought for a moment, she thought Michael had a point. With the help of Michael, the work will be completed quickly. In addition, she was also very hungry because she had not had time to eat anything when she was at her stepfather's house.

"Okay, you can help me!" After that, Sophia took Michael to the kitchen.

Michael also followed Sophia happily.
