Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 185

"I appreciate your kindness, Aunt Hemingway. Dr. Hemingway is really outstanding, but our relationship is just that of a doctor and patient. Maybe we will become friends in the future, but I’m sure Dr. Hemingway thinks of me the same way I think of him. There’s no affection between us." Sophia caught every hint of reluctance that flashed through Madam Hemingway’s eyes.

Madam Hemingway chuckled after hearing what she said. "What a pity, then. I have always wanted you to be my daughter-in-law since Lucy started talking about you."

"Soph." Aunt Lucy was looking quite sullen, hitting the nail on the head. "Why don’t you want such a good man like Vic? Are you still thinking about Mr. Harris?"

The smile on Madam Hemingway's face froze momentarily, but she soon went back to normal.

"Mr. Harris is Ms. White’s boyfriend now." Victor spread out his hands. "Aunt Lucy, I know you like Ms. White, but you can't ask me to be a homewrecker though, right?"

Whoosh!

Aunt Lucy stood up immediately. She was about to say something with a livid look on her face but swallowed her words after seeing Madam Hemingway and Victor. "Come with me, Soph!"

Having said that, she turned around and entered a room.

"Okay," Sophia answered, then apologized to Madam Hemingway and Victor before following Aunt Lucy into the room.

Aunt Lucy slammed the door shut and leaned against the door with a sullen expression without a word.

“A person like me isn’t suitable for Dr. Hemingway," Sophia said, "I don’t deserve him. Plus, I have no feelings for him."

"How many out there fall in love at first sight? If you don't have feelings for him now, just spend more time together and form a bond with each other and it will all work out. My husband and I met on a blind date and only went for a few dates before we got married. We turned out fine, didn’t we?!" Aunt Lucy said exasperatedly.

"Don't get angry." Sophia knew that Aunt Lucy was doing all this for her sake. "It is for the greater good that I don’t date Dr. Hemingway."

Dr. Hemingway was an adult and had his own ideas. If Aunt Lucy forced him to be with her, it was hard to say that he would not bear resentment against Aunt Lucy.

Judging from her reaction just now, Dr. Hemingway's mother was probably not very satisfied with her either.

The so-called facial that took half an hour longer was probably just an excuse. The answer was very simple—she was indirectly telling her that she did not like her.

"You!" Aunt Lucy poked her head with a finger. She was about to get annoyed to death because of her. "You always put others first. Why don't you think of yourself?!"

Sophia smiled and tugged her hand. "I am thinking of myself. I don't like Dr. Hemingway. Neither of us will be happy if we force ourselves to be together."

Aunt Lucy poked her in the head several times more. She was so furious that she could not even say a word.

"Aunt Lucy, I’ll get disfigured if you continue poking my head like that," Sophia said.

Aunt Lucy retracted her hand and said grumpily, "I didn't even use my strength. You don’t even have a single red mark on your head!"

"But you kicked me today. You used a lot of strength there," Sophia said.

"Stop talking back!" Aunt Lucy might be anxious, but she did not forget to go back to the main point. "Vic mentioned that you’re Mr. Harris' girlfriend now? What’s going on?"

Sophia clenched her fist, lowered her head, and replied, "... Nothing."

"Nothing? How did Charles become your boyfriend if it’s nothing?" Her answer made Aunt Lucy’s blood boil. "Are you treating me as an outsider, Soph?"

Sophia tugged at her lips. "But you’re not an insider either."

"Sophia White!" Aunt Lucy yelled at her, pinching her waist.

"Charles has a bad temper. You shouldn’t interfere in worrisome affairs like that next time, Aunt Lucy. Also, don’t drag Dr. Hemingway into this because of me. It's not worth it. It’s getting late, Aunt Lucy. I’m going back now." After saying those words, Sophia turned around without giving Aunt Lucy a second look. She left the room.

Madam Hemingway looked behind Sophia and asked, "Lucy didn’t come out with you?"
