Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 372

Was it possible for a person to put on a facade all the time? Sophia was quite certain that her sister-in-law was not just pretending to be nice!

There was also the possibility that her sister-in-law was being threatened!

If Leah was capable of threatening Charles in the past, it was not impossible for her to threaten her sister-in-law!

Now that Sophia found the slight chance that Nicole had not betrayed her, she withdrew her hand. “Nicole, have you encountered anything that troubled you recently? You can tell me anything, I’ll help you figure out a way to solve it!”

“Yeah, there is something bothering me,” Nicole said with a heavy sigh.

Sophia’s eyes sparkled in anticipation. Nicole had really encountered something troubling!

She reached out and grabbed Nicole’s hands, speaking much faster than usual, “What’s wrong? Nicole, as long as you tell me, I’ll try my best and help you!”

“It’s what’s happening with you, what else can it be?” Nicole’s hands were red from Sophia’s tight grasp but she did not break free. “Mr. Harris has indirectly caused Mom to commit suicide, yet you’re still unwilling to leave him. I’m really worried that Dad and Sterling would kick you out of the family once they find out about this.”

The light in Sophia’s eyes dimmed down, and the pain as if her heart was sliced open shot through her body once again.

She could not find any excuse anymore… What should she do? She ran out of excuses for Nicole!

“Soph, you understand you have to nip this in the bud and get it over with, right? The more hesitant you are, you’ll just suffer more and…”

“I know!” Sophia interrupted her as she stood up, her face still pale white. “I’ll make a decision within a week. Alright now, I’m going to go now!”

With that, she grabbed her purse and collected her coat from the hanger in the corner, then flew out the door right away.

Nicole called out after her several times but she pretended not to hear.

She did not know how to face her sister-in-law anymore!

Bang!

Sophia was walking with her head down, and she accidentally ran into someone’s arms as she got out the door. She raised her head, only to face Charles’s concerned gaze. Right away, all the emotions she had forced down moments ago were released and she broke down.

“Don’t cry,” Charles said softly as he cupped her face in his hands. Every tear that fell from her eyes was like a sharp needle that pierced into his heart.

They had agreed that she would send him a text message every fifteen minutes, so when he did not receive one on the agreed time mark, he was worried that something had happened to her. Hence, he ignored her nagging and came over instead.

Coincidentally, he bumped into her along the way.

Sophia crumpled his shirt in frustration as she struggled to push the words out of her mouth. “I really don’t know why is she doing this…”

Charles wrapped his arms around her and gently patted her back.

He knew that she saw Nicole the same as her brother and thought of her as her own blood relative. It was only natural for her to react this way after finding out about it.

Right then, Nicole came out and saw the two of them embracing.

She frowned slightly but quickly recovered. “Mr. Harris, when did you get here? I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you were here.”

Before Charles could answer, a horn rang through the air, followed by an ear-piercing screech.

A white convertible stopped about two meters away from Charles and Sterling jumped out of the car. “What a coincidence, I have something to tell you and you’re already here! Great timing!” he exclaimed enthusiastically.

He walked over and patted Charles’s shoulder. Then, only did he notice Sophia.

“Honey, can you please prepare something good? Charles and Soph will be staying for lunch!” Sterling shouted at Nicole.

Nicole did not respond immediately.

“It’s alright, we don’t want to disturb you, I can bring Sophia out for lunch.” Charles gave Sterling a quick nod as he gestured Sophia toward the Bentley.
