Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 291

At the sight of her reaction, Jenny walked over to Sophia's side and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked?"

"...No, I'm okay,” She said, dropping her head after looking at her red and swollen eyes.

After hearing what they said, both White father and son hurried over to ask Sophia how she was feeling and if she needed to see a doctor.

Sterling found it hard to get used to the way James behaved and sneered. "You’re treating Soph so well when you think she’s useful, but you didn’t even want to look at her when you thought she’s of no use to you. A person like you simply doesn’t deserve to be a father!"

"Watch your attitude!" James roared sternly. "Regardless of what I do, I’m doing it all for the sake of the White family and White Industries! Do you think I need to suffer so much if you and Soph knew better than to get into trouble all day instead of making yourselves useful?!”

Sterling’s good-looking face was flushed with anger after hearing what he said. He raised the chair next to him intending to smash it at him, but the chair hung in the air for a while before it was slammed to the ground with a bang.

"F*ck!"

If this was not his father, then not even smashing ten chairs would suffice!

The chair crashed at James' feet and rolled towards Sophia. Before it could reach her feet, Charles kicked it aside with a frown. He pressed his lips firmly and pulled her aside.

The word ‘careful’ was stuck in Sterling's throat before it was swallowed back in. He looked at Charles' hand that was placed on Sophia's waist and harrumphed twice in an exceedingly displeased manner.

Picking up his reaction, Charles hugged Sophia harder and even twitched his lower lips at him.

"..." Sterling, "!!!"

F*ck!

Although the chair did not crash down on James, his complexion still turned extremely grim as he stared at the chair that had landed not far from him. He was startled by Sterling's actions just now that it took him a while to come back to his senses. "Are you trying to murder me, Sterling White?!"

"You wouldn't be standing here anymore if I wanted to murder you!" Since the car accident two years ago, Sterling and James’ relationship had only deteriorated from there.

Seeing that their argument was getting more and more heated, Jenny with a pair of red and swollen eyes screamed, "Stop it, both of you!"

She looked at Sterling, then at James, saying hoarsely, "Soph has just returned home, can’t you guys just be quiet?"

"I won't argue with you today for Sophia’s sake!" Sterling harrumphed heavily at James, then turned around and walked out. Nicole apologized to them and went out after him.

Embarrassed to have his son screaming in his face in front of Charles like that, James let out two dry coughs. "It’s all my wife’s fault for pampering them. These kids are getting more and more spoiled as they grow up. Don't mind them, Charles."

"Oh, I don’t mind at all." Charles laughed. "It’s certainly rare and praiseworthy to see Sterling putting his family first even under your education. I should be thanking him instead."

The smile on James' face froze for a fleeting moment. "These siblings have accomplished nothing. The only thing that’s good about them is that they put their family first. I guess you can say that they’ve inherited this trait from me."

None of the three answered him as they looked at him, each with a different expression on their faces.

"People of my age have remarried several times now. Those who didn't remarry have also kept many mistresses in private." James sighed. "They did ask me before and told me that my wife is holding me back, asking me why I didn’t change my wife yet."
