‘…my wife.’ Sophia repeated the words over and over in her head, smiling foolishly.
“Consider it payback for what you did back then,” Albert said.
He was referring to the time when Sophia had taken care of him while he was sick.
“Hm, alright. Fair enough,” Sophia replied, giving in, even though she still felt a bit uneasy.

Albert was seated alone at the meeting table with a neutral expression, food already laid out before him. His female secretary was carefully serving each dish one by one.When the door opened, Albert turned, startled to see Sophia standing there. Rising from his seat, he quickly walked over to her."Sophie, I didn’t know you were coming," Albert said, still surprised to find his wife before him. His gaze fell on the square-shaped bag Sophia was clutching tightly to her chest.“What’s that?” Albert asked, looking at Sophia, who had yet to say a word.Sophia had initially felt a twinge of disappointment upon seeing Albert already about to eat lunch, especially with his secretary personally serving him. And that secretary, whom Sophia wasn’t pa

The café was relatively quiet, with only a few customers. When Sophia appeared at the door, a waiter greeted her warmly and invited them in, then led the two of them to a VIP room. Sophia assumed Luke had made a reservation in advance. The café’s interior was luxurious yet classic, and the service rivaled that of a five-star restaurant.When the VIP room door opened, Sophia scanned the room and saw no one else but her brother sitting alone at a table in the center of the space.As their eyes met, Sophia thought she saw a smile on Luke’s lips—or was it just her imagination? Because as soon as Luke's gaze shifted to Albert, his expression turned sour.Sophia and Albert walked toward Luke’s table and took seats across from him.“Y

"Is Daniel gay?""Sophie—"Sophia gasped. "What if all this time he’s actually been after you, not me? You, Albert!" She covered her mouth in disbelief, while Albert shot her a sharp, cold glare.Sophia then chuckled. "I’m just kidding. I’m sure Daniel wasn’t serious either."Albert smirked faintly. "How can you be so sure?"Sophia tilted her head to the side. What Daniel said earlier might have been true, but she wasn’t entirely sure. "Daniel has been in love before. And, according to Daniel, she was beautiful."Albert initially didn’t want to care, but after hearing his wife’s comment, he turned to face her.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Sophia froze upon hearing Albert’s confession. So all this time, Albert had been cooking and ordering steak for their dinners together because she liked it? Not because he liked it himself?But when had she ever told him that she liked steak?“You don’t like steak?” Albert asked when Sophia remained silent, not uttering a word.“I-I do… like it,” Sophia replied, still in disbelief.Sophia had never given much thought to her favorite food. She liked anything that tasted good. The only thing she truly considered her favorite was tomatoes. As for steak… she wasn’t sure. She ate it because it was delicious.But no

Sophia gazed blankly at her surroundings. Amid the lively clamor of the extravagant party, she stood alone in a quiet corner, silently wishing no one would notice her presence. The dress she wore tonight irritated her skin, as did the diamonds adorning her neck and wrists. All she wanted was to take them off and get out of this place.I want to go home, she thought repeatedly. She was sick of being at this kind of party. Not a single person was paying attention to her, even if it was what she wanted, Sophia couldn’t deny the sad feeling in her chest.Sophia’s gaze settled on the tall figure of Albert Raymond, her husband, who stood surrounded by beautiful women like supermodels vying for his attention. Sophia snorted, and the moment Albert’s eyes shifted to meet hers, she quickly looked away.That's enough! she thought in disgust. She walked toward the table filled with delectable treats, grabbed a handful of chocolate candies from the bowl and walked away.Even though the news of her

The truth is, you passed out for nearly the entire day.”Sophia waved her hand dismissively. “I didn’t pass out.
