Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 329

Upon hearing Marie’s name, Fredrickson followed his gaze and looked over. When he saw Marie standing next to a man wearing a sweet smile on her face, pressing her chest firmly against his, his expression turned dark at once.

"See you later!" Fredrickson said in a haste and walked aggressively toward Marie with champagne in his hand.

There were many beautiful women there, but Marie was the most attractive woman amongst them. Regardless of men or women, almost everyone was attracted to her the moment they laid eyes on her.

Sophia asked, "Mr. Fredrickson and Ms. Marie..."

"A lover and sponsor relationship." Charles took a sip of his champagne. "Some people may think that they have everything in control, but the truth is, they have lost their hearts to someone else a long time ago."

On the other side of the room, Fredrickson walked over, said something to the man, then dragged Marie out showing no due respect for the other party’s feelings.

Marie struggled for a while and that seemed to have aroused his dissatisfaction. He heaved her up and left straight away.

"Charles, Sophia, what a coincidence." Leah walked over with a faint smile on her face. She was limping, losing the sense of beauty that a beautiful woman should have.

Sophia took Charles by the arm and leaned against him. "What a coincidence indeed. I remember that you were still in a wheelchair when I saw you the day before yesterday, Ms. Jones. Why are you walking today?"

"The doctor said that my leg is almost healed and said that I should try walking now." Leah had applied delicate makeup on her face, yet that was still not enough to hide the haggardness and fatigue under it.

Sophia bit her lip. "Is that so? If that’s the case, your leg does heal very fast, Ms. Jones. When my leg was just starting to heal last time, I had to use the walls for support when I walked. Looks like your injury isn’t that serious. I can finally set my heart at ease then."

"I was quite seriously injured, actually. I have been doing rehabilitation earlier, which is just barely enough for me to recover to this state right now." Leah sighed. "I can’t compare to you. You can still dance once your leg is healed."

Sophia ignored the latter sentence deliberately, saying in surprise instead, "Why are you still using a wheelchair when you have recovered a long time ago? You’re not trying to gain sympathy, are you?"

There was a faint smile on Charles' face. He did not butt in on their conversation but simply lowered his head to play with Sophia's fingers. When Leah looked over, he just so happened to be taking Sophia's hand to his mouth and planting a gentle kiss on it.

"There’s bacteria on my hands. It’s filthy." Sophia feigned anger in a coquettish manner, her face was scarlet.

Charles looked at her fondly and brushed her nose. "It's okay, I don't find any part of your body filthy."

He stressed the word ‘any’.

Images that could suffuse anyone’s face with a blush flashed through Sophia's mind, her face heating up a little. She was not putting on an act this time and was actually embarrassed.

Leah’s smile froze on her face, pretending to look like she was fine and answered Sophia, “I’m not trying to gain sympathy, it’s just that… we have known each other for so many years, you should understand that I don’t want to walk lamely in front of other people because I’m a perfectionist."

After hearing what she said, Sophia looked dejected instantly. "But I don't understand. If I do, then I wouldn't have been framed by you back then and even went to prison because of that."

Leah opened her mouth. Before she could say anything, Sophia cut her off and said, "Besides, you don’t really seem like a perfectionist."

Sophia pointed at Leah's leg. "You said that you don't want to walk lamely in front of others. You are limping now, though."

Leah bit her lip, a layer of tears enshrouded her eyes. "Why are you humiliating me like that when I’ve already admitted to my mistakes?"

"But... but you were the one who approached me," Sophia said innocently.

In other words, she was the one seeking to be humiliated.

The act that Sophia carried out lately was completely different than it used to, which left Leah momentarily stumped, not knowing how to ward off her verbal attacks. At this moment, she was barely able to maintain the smile on her face, not knowing what to say to make a counterattack.
