Sophia was taken aback and pushed him away with both her hands. “What do you think you’re doing, Elliot? There are other people here.”He couldn’t help but laugh. “Well. Why did you seduce me, then?”“When did I do that?”“Give me a kiss.”“I’m not doing that. Hurry up and let me go.”“I can always kiss you instead.”She ducked and said, “Hold on. Give me a second.” She gave a quick glance around her. It was as though she was checking out if anyone was actually looking their way.He knew she was shy, so he decided to be patient.There was a hint of slyness in her eyes as she blinked at him. “Close your eyes.”“Get in the car.” He took her hands and was about to walk when she tugged at him. “We’ll do it here. I'm done with all the walking. Just close your eyes.”He backed off and went along with her. Closing his eyes, he waited for her kiss.At the next moment, she squirmed and broke free of his embrace.He remained quiet as he watched her running away. He couldn

Elliot saw Chester pacing back and forth in front of Phoebe’s ward when he came by the hospital to pick up Sophia.“Why don’t you go in?”Chester sighed. He was too ashamed to see Phoebe now. Elliot could guess what he was thinking and asked, “Was Elizabeth sent to the police station?”“Yeah. They summoned Edward too, but he made all his transactions to her and she paid the guys she hired directly from her account or Phoebe’s bank card. “All Edward admitted to was his relationship with her and that he gave her the money as a gift. The police can’t prove that those guys answered to Edward and they can’t do much with Elizabeth’s testimony either.”Elliot said, “It’s fine. I know this isn’t enough to take him down. We can bide our time for that. I kept thinking about the phone call she overheard from Edmund. It’s likely related to me, but I’m not sure if he was talking about the car crash that concerns my parents or Gemma. They said they were looking for a young girl. I wonder if

Elliot smiled, “That’s not the case here.”Hamish also smiled and added, “He just wanted to show how much of a gentleman he is. Don’t worry about it, Janine. Let's give him a chance to do just that.”Janine grinned and looked at Elliot, “Well. Don’t mind if I do. I’d hate to hear you claiming that I asked you out just to make you pay for lunch.” She proceeded to order more dishes.He gave her a sidelong glance. “We’re business partners. Don’t you think it’s only right that I buy you lunch?”Her smile grew wider. “You know just what to say, Elliot. As a matter of fact, I’ve gone over the details with Hamish and we’ve finalized most of them. I merely wanted to see you in person today.”He responded calmly, “Since you asked to see me, I just had to accept the invitation to show you how serious we are with this collaboration. Truth be told, you’ll have to finalize the remaining details with Hamish. I’ve always been behind the scenes. So, I’m not very good when it comes to this stuff

Phoebe couldn’t help but smile/ “Given the inspiring speech you gave earlier, I don’t think you think much of men.”Pouting, Sophia said, “I’m married while you’re single. How is it the same for both of us? Furthermore, Elliot hasn’t done anything wrong to me. If I step over the line and fool around with men, then that’d be a massive disrespect to him.“Elliot once said that being in love is promising your partner that you’ll love him, while marrying one another is swearing you’ll never love another person. I might envy the kind of lifestyle Xena has, but I’m not going to squander my marriage unless I’m single again someday. Just like you.”Phoebe stared at Sophia. She felt as if she was seeing a side of Sophia she had never known was there. Sophia had always been a quirky, intelligent lady to her. Needless to say, Sophia was a little arrogant too, but in a cute way. So, imagine her surprise when Sophia uttered something this mature and philosophical. Just what did Sophia go throu

Sophia said, “I heard it from Charles. Somebody kidnapped Chase and Chester. They asked for a hundred million dollars in ransom, but the Morgans were only able to prepare fifty million dollars. So, the kidnappers promised they’d release only one of them.“However, the Morgans chose to save Chase first. Chester ran away from the kidnappers on the night you rescued him. No one knows what he went through in the escape attempt, but I remember you telling me that he looked miserable. “So, there must’ve been a lot of close calls. That would explain why he still isn’t opening up to his parents, but he stands fast by the fact that Elizabeth saved him. “Come to think of it, every nice thing he did for her was actually meant for you. It’s a shame he got the wrong lady and let Elizabeth take advantage of him. I’m going to say all of you bear some responsibility for that. “Otherwise, Elizabeth wouldn’t have been able to stir up that much trouble. I think Chester realized something was wrong
