Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 213

Charles looked at Sterling and said coldly, “You should be thankful that you’re Sophia’s brother.”

“I’ve always been thankful to have such a good sister!” Sterling glared at him. “It’s unfortunate that she fell into the hands of a b*stard like you!”

At this time, a few people approached Charles. Hearing Sterling’s words, they were taken aback and wondered if they should stay or leave.

If the latter, it was not easy to meet Charles and they were unwilling to miss the chance. But if they stayed, the current situation was really inappropriate.

“Sterling White, that’s enough!” Nicole was done being discreet, twisting Sterling’s ear and said, “Apologize to Mr. Harris at once!”

He had embarrassed Charles in front of so many people. What if he turned around and took out his anger on Sophia instead?

Sterling gritted his teeth in pain. He did not struggle but did not apologize either.

“Gentlemen, are you looking for me?” Charles flicked a glance at Sterling and ignored him, turning his attention towards the few people who were in a dilemma instead.

A few of them were in their middle age, and the oldest person seemed to be even older than James. In front of Charles, however, they were respectful and even a little simpering and apprehensive.

“It’s been a long time, so we wanted to say hello to Mr. Harris,” one of them said.

Sophia lowered her eyes before standing up and said, “Ster, Nicole, let’s sit somewhere else.”

It was not convenient to be listening when Charles was talking business. Besides, she had something to discuss with Sterling and Nicole privately.

“Well, let’s go over there! There’s no one around!” Sterling pointed to the farthest table from here. Without waiting for Nicole or Sophia, he pushed himself with one hand and headed for that table. He could not wait to get away from Charles.

Sophia was worried he would lose control of the wheelchair and run into someone else, so she rushed behind the wheelchair and pushed him towards the table.

Nicole followed them, her eyes full of helplessness.

“I don’t quite remember any of you, unfortunately.” Charles watched as Sophia disappeared into the crowd, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

They looked at each other before one of them chuckled, “Mr. Harris meets so many people each day, it’s normal if you can’t remember us.”

Under normal circumstances, most people would not pursue the topic, but rather, follow with the phrase with a ‘long time no see’ and continue the conversation.

If they were happy, they would say a few more words, if not, it would be less. Most people would not be so obvious as Charles.

“Oh.” Charles stood up, picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter’s tray, and asked, “Is there a problem?”

The oldest person among the group said tentatively, “It’s not a big problem, just…”

“If not, I’ll take my leave then. I’ve something urgent to deal with. Excuse me.” Charles shook his champagne glass at these people and took a sip as a gesture of apology.

He wanted to go after Sophia.

When Sophia reached the farthest table with Sterling, she pulled out a chair and sat down, before indicating for Nicole to take a seat too.

“Do you have something to tell us?” Nicole asked.

Sophia nodded. “After the wedding ceremony, I’ll be leaving, to…”

“You’re leaving? Where to?” Sterling did not expect she would say something like this, and his expression changed. “Are you leaving by yourself or with others? Is that b*stard Charles going to lock you up somewhere and not allow us to see you again?”
