Chapter 40


    It was understandable but not frivolous.


    How many women had fallen for his candied words before he became this experienced? Sophia


    boasted before that she had a long and rough road regarding men.


    But with her behavior right now, what was the difference between her and a little girl? But she was still


    helpless to ttery and candied words.


    It seemed like her experience was still not enough! Or rather, no one could really refuse Patrick when


    he said things like that.It was really heart racing.


    Jenelyn looked at Sophia who was in a daze.She thought that she was idling around.She violently


    comined.


    "I don’t know why but it seems like the office is a bit suffocating today.It looks like it''s almost


    October.Why is that the weather''s a bit too hot?"


    Sophia was snapped out of her senses.


    "It can''t be helped.October is the season tail of summer.It''ll be hot for quite a while.It''ll be hot in autumn


    too.As you know, there''s no winter in Frostford City,"


    Except in summer, the weather in Frostford City was almost as warm and humid as in spring, and wet


    nkets were hard to dry.


    Jenelyn was an outsider.She had stayed in Frostford City for a few years already but she still couldn''t


    tolerate the weather.


    "My hometown has four seasons a year.I can buy new clothes when the seasons change.Unlike


    Frostford City, no matter how many clothes I buy, it''s still the same season, same style, with no


    originality nor innovation."


    Look, everyone was the same.


    Everything you like at first sight was your favorite, and this feeling was also the most unforgettable.


    It felt the same, it always felt beautiful and unforgettable.


    However, you couldn''t go back to the past even if you missed the person you like throughout your


    lifetime.


    Even if you want to go back in time, it was basically impossible.


    Sophia was about to get off from work when Brandon called her and asked her for dinner.She hadn''t


    finished her work at hand just yet, so she had to work overtime.

    Brandon replied that he didn''t minding up to apany her while waiting.


    Brandon easily saw through her excuse.


    Although it was true that she had a job to be done, she could still avoid it, but she did not want to.


    Sophia shut down herputer and thought, ‘Am I lucky in love this year?’


    Otherwise, how did she have a lot of encounters with men this year? Each one of them wasn''t easy to


    deal with.


    Sophia walked out of the Evans Enterprise building and saw Brandon leaning against his car with his


    hands in his pocket.He looked casual and natural.


    Her female colleagues passed by and saw them.She couldn''t help but raise her eyebrows and whisper


    to one another.


    Sophia approached him and Brandon smiled.


    "We haven''t seen each other for a few days.Did I be more handsome?"


    "Indeed, we haven''t seen each other for a few days now but your ability to tter others has improved a


    lot" Sophia replied with a smile.


    It was rare to see Sophia let down her guard and simply go along with him like an old friend, friendly


    and casual.


    "Sweetie, you''re quite good at this.This reminds me of the old times when you were still seventeen.You


    have a simple smile, simple love, and an uplicated life"


    Brandon''s words froze Sophia for a moment but she quickly collected herself.


    "I was seventeen back then.You want toplicate things but I won''t make it worse.At that time, I


    followed you behind.I watched you be more and more outstanding as girls surrounded you."


    "me me for treating you like a kid.But I’ve always wanted to wait for you to grow up, sadly, I waited


    for you to be someone else''s wife."


    Brandon was Sophia''s one and only crush throughout her entire life.


    When Sophia''s father was alive, his family was still rich.


    Although he could notpare with Adriana’s father, who was also her second uncle, the two families


    were simr in wealth.


    Students from private schools were either secretly in love or writing love letters every day.


    Sophia wrote a very, very long love letter for Brandon.


    Now that she had thought about it, she could only sigh.


    That letter was full of love and sincerity.


    Unfortunately, Brandon rejected her.


    Brandon said that Sophia was too young and that she didn’t know how to be a good girlfriend.


    He said that he would focus on his studies in the meantime so she could give her a good future if ever


    they be together.


    Who knew that her family would undergo big changes? Before she could even say her goodbye,


    Sophia was taken abroad by her mother.


    The moment she came back, she had already be Patrick''s wife.


    Due to his own decision, Brandon missed out on Sophia.


    He was not qualified to regret.


    Sophia teased him and said, "That''s what you call fate.If it''s not meant to happen, everything will stay


    the same"


    Brandon felt that this topic was too heavy for him.


    After all, the past was the past.


    No matter how much he regretted that he missed his shot, he could never go back and change it.


    "What do you want to eat?" Brandon asked, changing the topic.


    Sophia was a little embarrassed.


    "I still have something to do at home.I''m not really free tonight."


    "What?" Brandon frowned.


    "I adopted a puppy recently.If I don’te back and take care of it, it will go hungry."


    "I remembered you didn''t like raising small animals, right? You even said before that animals are dirty


    and messy."


    "Typhoon is very sensible.It was love at first sight!"


    In the end, Brandon drove Sophia home to pick up Typhoon before they went to the dining room to eat.


    Sophia wasn''t just boasting around when she said that Typhoon was very sensible.


    Typhoon knew how to go to the toilet, which other animals did not, and Typhoon moved around the


    house just like a human being would do.


    They said that the animal mirrors its owner''s character.


    It seemed that this sentence had a scientific basis.


    When they arrived at the restaurant, Sophia put Typhoon on the ground.


    Typhoon raised her head as a person dressed as a waitress approached their table.


    "I’m sorry, Ma’am, Sir.This restaurant prohibits pets from entering"


    Sophia knew that high-end restaurants had a lot of rules.


    Just as she was about to go out, Brandon pulled her back.


    "Go ahead and tell your boss what kind of absurd rules he set.Can''t you see who brought this dog


    here?"


    Brandon looked a lot different from his usual gentle and refined appearance.


    Sophia didn’t want him to be in trouble because of her just for a meal.She pulled his sleeves and


    spoke.


    "Forget it, let''s go and look for another restaurant to eat"


    "It doesn''t matter.I am familiar with the owner of this restaurant"


    The waitress saw that the man was indeed extraordinary so she didn''t dare to defy him.


    She quickly went back and asked for her manager.


    The manager was a smart man.


    As soon as he heard about this issue, he quickly ran over to take a look at the situation.


    Sure enough, Brandon was a big shot.


    The manager sweated.Why were there so many big shotsing here tonight at this restaurant?


    "Madam, I''m sorry if she did not recognize you.It''s all my fault.Sir Brandon is here.I should have gone


    out personally to wee you.It was just an ident, purely an ident"


    Brandon was not an aggressive person, "Prepare the private room that I always use"


    The manager responded with a smile and quickly sent someone to clean up.


    Sophia picked up Typhoon and said, "It''s really good toe out with people like you.I won''t


    experience any discrimination with you!"


    "People like me?"


    Brandon instantly understood the meaning behind her words.


    "You ate dinner with other people like me? Who else is like me?"


    "No one.I''m just blindly saying it without any meaning."


    Sophia subconsciously denied it.


    The rtionship between her and Patrick was currently unclear.She didn’t want anyone she knew to


    know about it.


    "Let''s go upstairs."


    When they got upstairs, Sophia felt that Typhoon was struggling in her arms.She put Typhoon down


    and let it walk by itself.


    Typhoon felt free and wagged its tail violently.


    Sophia looked at its plump body and said, "Fortunately, you''re only a dog.If you were a child, you''ll


    definitely be so fat that no one would ever want you"


    "No matter how big it might be, as long as I love it, I can ept it.These things mainly depend on


    how people think"


    Brandon lowered his head slightly to look at her.


    Reading between the lines, his words were full of warmth and deep affection.


    Sophia bit her lip.She couldn''t continue to read through Brandon''s words.


    If she did, how should she answer him? Good thing, Typhoon suddenly barked, relieving the


    awkwardness between them.Sophia quickly walked over and picked up the dog in case it hit someone.
