Chapter 411
Sophia had made a mistake; she shouldn’t have taken that selfie with ude the other day. ude
must’ve misunderstood her because of that selfie, and Sophia swore to God that she had only wanted to
annoy Michael. She really had no feelings for ude at all.
“Uh… Haha… Thank you…” She was embarrassed, but ude had already made the soup and brought
it over. It wouldn’t do for her to just turn it down, so sheughed awkwardly as she took the soup in her
hands.
That jerk of a boy, Nathan, didn’t even call her his mother anymore. Any time someone came over, he’d
call her a distant cousin; he had even vanished without a trace, leaving only Stanley behind while he
watched his drama and stroked the cat. However, Nathan wasn’t the reason why the atmosphere at the
moment was so awkward.
“I don’t think it’s that convenient for you to move your hands—let me feed you.” In a gentle manner,
ude opened up the container of soup, scooped up a spoonful and blew on it slightly before bringing it
up to Sophia’s mouth.
ude was so gentle that he didn’t seem like a Fletcher. He was like gentle snowfall, and the condition
of his skin was even better than a girl’s. Those slender fingers of his were wless like a precious
jewel, and he was overall a soft and gentle man.
If it hadn’t been for the military uniform he had on, Sophia wouldn’t have associated him with the
Fletchers. He primarily did clerical work in the army, so when he reined in his dominating aura, he looked
rather polite and soft.
“No, no… I can’t let you go all that extra mile for me. I’ll feed myself, yeah…” Sophia hastily took the
spoon while carefully making sure that she didn’t make any physical contact with ude.
Sophia had only eaten a few spoonfuls of soup when she felt her face burn; perhaps the soup was too
hot. Between sips of soup, she would look up at ude and see him smile at her. That smile was truly
gentle and pretty.
What a beautiful man!
His lovely eyes gazed at Sophia while he smiled gently again. Sophia’s face reddened even more, and
the air was unusually tense.
She looked at Stanley from the corner of her eyes. Hey there, stupid—why aren’t you bailing me out of
here?
Stanley didn’t understand Sophia’s wishes at all. To him, ude was practically a wimp. How could he
possibly be a match against Michael? Michael already had his ws in Sophia; if ude thought that he
could worm his way in, then he was still years away from actually being able to do it! Sophia was fated to
be with Michael forever! If Sophia wouldn’t even take a second look at Stanley, how would she take a
shine to this wimp named ude?
Therge ginger cat seemed to have heard Sophia’s prayers as it wriggled out of Stanley’s arms and
plodded its chubby body over into ude’s arms.
“Hm? This cat is adorable. Is he yours?” ude asked as he held the cat.
“Yep. He’s a present from my dad. His name is Chrysanthemum.”
Chrysanthemum…
Chrysanthemum was arge, ginger cat with yellow and white stripes; it had a body with rolls of fat.
When one factored in his long fur, the cat looked rather like a puffy dandelion whenever he ran, so thatContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
was how the cat came to be called Chrysanthemum.
ude held Chrysanthemum and stroked him before he made a remark everyone made whenever they
met the cat.
“Wow, he’s heavy.”
Chrysanthemum stared right at Sophia, wanting to eat her soup.
ude pulled out a small packet of cat food from his pocket. “I heard that you wanted to bring your cat
over to stay with you at the hospital during myst visit, so I brought some cat food with me this time.”
He poured the kibble into his palm; Chrysanthemum reached over and began to eat.
ude lowered his gaze, his eyes tender as his slender fingers stroked Chrysanthemum’s orange fur.
“Easy now, Chrysanthemum. If you get any fatter, I won’t be able to carry you!”
Sophia secretly looked at him while she ate her soup.
Oh, what a gentle and beautiful man! He’s so tender toward cats! He’s so attentive as well! ude even
brought some cat food along with him when he heard that I was going to bring my cat over! Why are the
Fletchers’ genes so damn fine? Ahh!
Even though she only had eyes for Michael, that didn’t stop her from fangirling over other gentlemen.
Just as she was lost in the moment, her phone rang at the most inopportune time. She peeked at it and
realized that it was from ‘Jerk’.
Michael’s nickname in her contacts kept changing; he was ‘Pervert’ back when they were strangers;
‘Lord’ when they were at the bashful stage of their rtionship; and ‘Darling’ when their rtionship
became more passionate. Now that their rtionship had hit several rocks, he was ‘Jerk’. It was as
though these names were bearing witness to the rtionship stages of a married couple.
At the sight of that name, rage burned within Sophia!
This call has been a long timeing! He should have done so earlier! What a d*uchebag of a man!
Nheless, Sophia was rather eager to receive that call, but she couldn’t just pick it up like that. She
deliberately let her phone ring for about ten seconds before answering it coolly.
“What is it? I’m busy.”
Michael cut right to the chase. “Get Maria to pack your things. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
It was their first call in days, yet he already had an arrogant, kingly tone to his voice which made Sophia
weak in the knees. He didn’t even utter anything else, simply hanging right up after he finished his words
without an exnation.
Sophia stared at the phone in disbelief. After waiting in agony for several days, all she received was a
phone call which did not evenst ten seconds?
She hurled her phone angrily and continued to eat her soup.
“Who was that?” ude asked curiously as he patted the cat.
Sophia deliberately made her smile as sunny as possible. “Some godforsaken salesman.”
The two of them continued to chat while Sophia drank her soup and ude patted the cat. All of a
sudden, ude started a new topic. “You started apany with Sundae Cone and the others, didn’t
you? It has something to do with online games, am I right?”
“Yep,” Sophia answered.
ude wasn’t all that familiar with the online industry, but he had done his homework beforehand.
Hence, he was still able to make conversation with her as the pair continued to engage in small talk.
Sophia had been eating the food sent over by Maria all this while; her meals were all cooked by the
same chef, so it was inevitable that she was getting a little bored of it.
Getting takeout every now and then didn’t seem too bad, and she blissfully finished off thest of the
soup before cing the container down. “Thank you.”
Once she was done, she took out her phone and said, “Let’s take a selfie, ude.”
Naturally, ude agreed to it. The sounds of a camera clicking away soon rang out in the room after
that. After she had taken the photos, Sophia deliberately edited the photo to make ude and her look
even nicer before uploading it to her Instagram stories.
She was in the middle of editing with her head lowered when the door to her ward suddenly opened. A
man in a ck windbreaker then barged in brazenly and walked straight over to Sophia’s bed.
Without another word, he reached out and pressed Sophia down into her pillow and wrapped the thin
hospital nket around her, rolling her into a burrito before hoisting her over his shoulders and carting
her away.
Stanley and ude were at a loss for words. Did Sophia just… got carted off like that?
Sophia finally came back to her senses after they had traveled a fair distance. Realizing that Michael had
suddenly appeared and carted her away after wrapping her up, she kicked at him and yelled, “Michael,
you b*stard, put me down! Put me down!”
