Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 354

Sophia frowned and walked past him while Nicole followed alongside her quietly.

“Sophia,” William called out in an exhausted tone as he grabbed her wrist from behind.

Sophia shook his hand away and sneered without even looking back. “What? Are you here to seek justice for your sister because she killed herself because of me?”

Although Nicole had a disapproving look on her face, she said nothing.

“... Please don’t get me wrong,” William said as he walked up to her. “I saw you and I just wanted to say hi, you don’t need to get worked up.”

“Alright, you’ve already said hi. Can you go now?” Sophia asked lightly.

“It’s true that Leah tried to kill herself and everything she wrote in her suicide note was… Quite bad for you, but I believe you and I know her suicide has nothing to do with you.” William’s emotions were mixed together.

Sophia’s lips tugged slightly into a jeering smirk.

She looked up at him and replied, “Thank you for your confidence, Mr. Jones. However, I don’t really care whether you believe in me.”

It might have been different if she was the same person from two years ago.

William thought back of his attitude toward her in the past and guilt instantly filled his eyes. He opened his mouth but was unsure of what to say to her.

“One more thing, Mr. Jones, please remember the solemn promise you made to me twice in the past. You said that if we ever happened to be in the same place at the same time, you would take the initiative and leave first. This is the third time you’re going back on your words. I sincerely hope there won’t be a next time!” Sophia said in a harsh tone.

William stared into the coldness in her eyes as bitterness washed over him.

He only had himself to blame for how things turned out!

“Alright then, Mr. Jones, please excuse me,” Sophia said.

William stayed put. Before she could have another outburst, he said with a troubled expression, “Sophia, I actually have a favor to ask. Can you… Please help me?”

“You’re asking me for help?” Sophia pointed at herself, utterly amused.

He and his sister had made her life so miserable at one point in her life. They were the reason she had wandered to the edge of life and death countless times now, yet he still had the audacity to ask her for a favor?

William desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide. He was feeling extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed under her scrutinizing glare.

However, Sophia was the only one who could lend him a hand in this issue, so he did not have another choice. “Leah made it through, but she’s still very weak and has been in a low mood for the past two days. The doctor says that if she’s still unable to think straight, the negative thoughts will affect her health as well…”

Nicole had no patience to listen to this. “What does Ms. Jones’ health condition have anything to do with Soph? Don’t tell me your sister is feeling troubled because of Soph and has a knot in her heart that only Soph can untie?”

There was a combination of emotions on William’s face, but after a long pause, he nodded warily.

Leah told him that she was in despair because she had questions to ask Sophia. Hence, the doctor suggested that it was best if they could get Sophia over to talk to Leah and resolve the issues.

It was true that Leah had crossed the line multiple times and he was acting extremely shameless for doing this, but at the end of the day, she was still his sister no matter what. He could not just sit around and do nothing…

“Mr. Jones, you can’t possibly bully someone like this, can you?” Nicole stood in front of Sophia and said, “Do you really think that just because we don’t have many people left in the White family that we will let some outsider bully Soph like this?!”

William quickly explained himself. “No, that’s not my intent…”

“I don’t care what your intentions are, but no way am I going to talk to Leah.” Sophia gently pushed Nicole away and said to William calmly, “Even if I let go of my hatred toward Leah, I don’t want to put myself in a position that I don’t feel good about. What if she has another scheme up in her sleeves?

“How do I know that she won’t purposely faint all of a sudden and push the blame on me?”

Sure enough, this sounded like something Leah was capable of.
