Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 124

Sophia was used to getting looks like that a long time ago. She could never compare to Leah’s shrewdness. Suddenly, she spat out a chicken bone and said, "No."

Clara was dumbfounded by her response. "Huh?"

"He's not sticking out for me. He’s just defending himself," Sophia said.

Charles lowered his head and glanced at Sophia only to see her hair whorl. His brows furrowed slightly before retracting his gaze.

"Apologize to Charles, Audrey. He’s not an unreasonable person," Leah persuaded Audrey softly.

Then, she turned her head and said to Charles, "Charles, Audrey is just flustered because of my brother, that’s why she didn’t observe proper limits for her speech. Why don’t we let bygones be bygones after she apologizes to you? What do you think?”

"That might work," Charles said.

Leah sighed slightly and hinted Audrey with her eyes.

Audrey was about to apologize to Charles when he said, "You don't have to apologize to me. Apologize to her. I’ll let this matter drop if she forgives you.”

He pointed at Sophia.

Upon seeing this, Audrey's expression changed abruptly. She looked as if she had eaten a fly.

Sophia’s body turned rigid. She raised her head to look at Charles. There were times when she had no idea what he was actually thinking of. Take right now, for example.

When he broke her leg for Leah back then, she figured that he must be deeply in love with Leah, but ever since she was released from prison, the things she had seen and heard challenged her conclusion.

Charles… She could not figure out what he really wanted to do.

The smile on Leah's face froze for a moment, but it quickly went back to normal. "If you must say that, Charles, then I think that you’ve gone too far."

"Sophia is clearly aware that the Harrises and the Jones are getting engaged. She also knows that my brother and Audrey are already engaged, but she still drugged you to seduce you whilst keeping an ambiguous relationship with my brother."

"She did something wrong to Audrey, and now Audrey’s simply voicing out as a victim, so why should she apologize to Sophia?"

The waiters stood on the side with their heads lowered. They were not so bold as to gossip openly. Even so, they still listened very closely. Their hatred for Sophia intensified.

"Hah!" Charles sneered, casting sidelong glances at Leah. "If my memory serves me right, I said before that it is not mandatory for the Harrises to choose the Jones to create an alliance through marriage."

Leah clutched her clothes with her hands that were placed on her thighs. Her elegant and beautiful face paled in an instant.

"As for Mr. Jones." Charles walked up to William and rested his hands on his shoulders, his eyes turning slightly cold. "He’s the one pestering Sophia instead of the other way around, no?"

The waiters were stupefied after hearing what he said. The statements from both sides were polar opposites. Which one of them was telling the truth?

"What are you guys doing standing there? Come over and help. Can’t you see that we’re short of hands?" Seeing that there was a dispute between the two tables, the manager feared that the waiters would hear what they were not supposed to hear and end up offending them again. Hence, he summoned them over.

Leah smiled and tried to say something when William interrupted her. He stood up abruptly and said with a grim yet good-looking face, “That’s enough!"

Having said that, he strode toward the door without looking at anyone.

"William Jones!" Audrey yelled at his departing back but received no response in return. He stormed out of the crayfish restaurant without stopping.
