Chapter 442


    Upon hearing what Rose said, Yasmin let out a cold snort. "Did you hear that, udius? Mdm. Rose is


    asking her to apologize. You guys are in the wrong!"


    Sophia nced at Yasmin before shing Rose a smile. "What if I don''t want to apologize?"


    Sophia paused and continued, "I think you should be very clear about whether I have snatched Ms.


    Lawre''s fiancé away."


    Rose wasn''t angered. Instead, her gaze turned friendlier when she looked at Sophia. "You have quite a


    temper."


    With that, Rose turned toward Yasmin and said, "Yas, I''m actually at fault. I met your dad privately and


    arranged your marriage with udius. If udius doesn''t want to marry you, I can''t force him to."


    After that, Rose cast Sophia a nce and added, "If udius likes thisdy instead of you, there''s


    nothing I can do about it. Please forgive me regarding the marriage arrangement. When I get back to


    Lusterg, I''ll tell your dad about it and cancel the arrangement."


    Needless to say, Rose''s words caught everyone off guard. Sophia was mentally prepared to get


    scolded, and she didn''t expect Rose to cancel the marriage arrangement between Yasmin and


    udius.


    Besides, Sophia could tell that Yasmin was in no position to stop Rose from canceling the marriage


    arrangement.


    On the other hand, Yasmin thought Rose was there to back her up. After all, Yasmin regarded Rose as


    her family ever since Yasmin was little. Rose treated Yasmin very well back then, so when Rose asked


    Yasmin if she would marry udius, Yasmin agreed hesitantly.


    Yasmin agreed to marry udius because he was Rose''s son. Besides, he was a good-looking man.


    Growing up, Yasmin was used to getting praised for her looks, and everyone wanted to befriend her.


    That was the case for everyone apart from udius. In fact, he would ignore her whenever she


    approached him to greet him.


    Since Yasmin had always been living abroad, her personality differed from the local girls. However, she


    came from a rich family, and she excelled in everything she did. udius had been her biggest


    challenge for the past thirty years of her life. Regardless of how she tried to be more open-minded, she


    still couldn''t ept it.


    Besides, she seemed to be attracted to his aloofness.


    The more udius ignored her, the more she wanted him.


    Hence, Yasmin regarded udius as a challenge in her life. That was why she couldn''t ept it when


    Rose canceled the marriage arrangement.


    Yasmin looked at Rose in disbelief and asked, "What did you say, Mdm. Rose? I don''t think I


    understand you."


    "You know how I''ve always been respectful toward the younger generations, Yasmin. Naturally, I''ll give


    udius the freedom to choose who he wants to be with." Rose smiled.


    Rose''s words had crushed all of Yasmin''s hopes and dreams. Yasmin''s face was as pale as a sheet


    when she questioned, "Are you kidding me, Mdm. Rose? An ordinary person would surely not care


    who udius was into. However, considering your status and worth, the marriage arrangement will


    only benefit our families."


    "I''m old now, and I don''t even know how much time I have left. Thus, I don''t think too far into the


    future." Rose heaved a sigh. I''m done talking to Yasmin because my mind is set.


    With that in mind, Rose turned to look at udius. "Send Ms. Yarrow back."


    Rose''s attitude toward Sophia was unexpected. Not only Yasmin but udius and Sophia also found it


    mind-boggling.


    Sophia didn''t know who Rose was, but Sophia found it better now that Alexander had be


    udius. udius'' mother has to be someone with significant influence. I bet she had already


    investigated me before she came here today. Still, I didn''t expect her to stay out of udius'' love life.


    Regardless, it''s good that she''s a friendly person, and she isn''t out to make my life difficult.


    Since Rose had already mentioned it, Sophia nced at udius and said, "That''s not necessary. My


    room is on the sixteenth floor."


    As soon as those words fell, Rose smiled and said, "Let him send you. I need to talk to Yasmin."


    Seeing how straightforward Rose was, Sophia tactfully shed a polite smile and said, "I''ll be on my


    way, then, Ma''am."


    "Myst name is Lenoir," Rose uttered.


    Sophia was stunned for a moment, but she regained her senses a secondter. "All right, Mdm.


    Lenoir."


    Rose nodded in response and cast udius a nce.


    udius couldn''t ask for a better oue. Initially, he thought he would need some time to convince


    Rose. Now, it seems like I need to find a way to regain my memories. After all, the fact that I don''t


    remember anything is cruel and unfair to Sophia.


    "Let''s go." udius retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at Sophia.


    Sophia followed him out of the room, and Allen, one of the bodyguards guarding the door, wanted to


    follow them from behind. udius saw that and stopped him. "I''m going down to the sixteenth floor."


    Allen stopped in his tracks instantly.


    udius was staying on the top floor, so there was no one in the elevator.


    Sophia followed him into the elevator and watched the doors close. After that, she smiled and asked,


    "Do you always have two bodyguards following you around?"


    "Mm-hmm."

    Hearing that, Sophia turned and lifted her head toward udius. "You seem to have a good


    rtionship with your mother."


    udius lowered his head to look at her. "Frankly, I don''t feel a connection with her."


    Soon, the elevator arrived on the sixteenth floor, and the doors opened.


    "It''s my floor." Sophia paused and hesitated. "Would you like toe in for a ss of juice?"


    It was hard to get a ss of tea or warm water in the foreign country they were in. Since the wine in


    Sophia''s room was taken away, all she could offer him was a ss of juice Katherine had brought over


    earlier.


    "Have you had lunch?" udius asked.


    Sophia arched a brow. "I don''t think it was lunchtime yet when I met you at the mall."


    "Let''s go downstairs for lunch." udius closed the elevator doors, and Sophia went along with it.


    Although Alexander had be udius, the man was still behaving like Alexander.


    The two went to the hotel restaurant for a buffet lunch. Since it was lunchtime, the ce was packed.


    Sophia wasn''t used to western cuisine, so she only took a sandwich for herself. udius, on the other


    hand, seemed to have gotten used to the food there, so he returned with a te full of food. When he


    saw Sophia had only taken a sandwich, he asked, "Are you not used to western cuisine?"


    "Not really." Sophia took a sip of her apple juice and nced at his te. "Well, you seem to have


    gotten used to the food here."


    "I''m not a fan of it, though."


    Sophia merely smiled in response. After one hundred and twenty-six days, I''m finally having a meal


    with Alexander again. Surprisingly, I''m feeling calmer than I expected.
