Drenched in Love novel Chapter 71

In the bumping, Sophia woke up. She opened her eyes and found Stephen holding her. She was alert and struggled to get up.

Stephen took a loo at her, loosened his hand and sat back on his seat.

In the small space, the atmosphere was awkward. Sophia rubbed her wrist that Stephen caught, lowering her head.

Stephen looked out of the window. Then he felt sleepy, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep. He had a dream.

By the flower arch, he stood at the edge of the cliff, with his back to the sea in a white suit, smiling at the beautiful, slim woman standing in the flower aisle.

The sun was blinding him, and he could not see the beautiful face. But he knew that it was his bride, the woman he decided to hold hands with all his life.

Smiling, he held out his hand to the woman in a white wedding dress holding flowers.

The woman, with veil covered, walked towards him step by step until she reached him.

The priest asked: Mr. Stephen Berry, do you take this lady as your wife? For better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, you will love her unreservedly and be true to her till the end of time.”

He tilted his head, trying to keep his eyes wide open to see the woman's face. But the thin veil seemed to block all his sight. He could never see her face clearly.

When the priest asked about it, Stephen thought: This was his bride. It was the woman he had loved for three years, and of course he was willing to marry her, even now he couldn't see her face.

"I do." He said.

The priest asked the bride, and she said yes. The voice of the bride made him feel familiar, but, it was different from what he'd heard the last three years?

The vows were read, rings were exchanged, and the priest said, "Mr. Berry, now you can lift your veil and kiss the bride.”

He smiled at the woman in the white wedding dress, held her veil and slowly raised it. He said to himself: Jessie, you are my woman at last.

As the veil lifted, looking at the face with delicate makeup, Stephen became stunned: "Why it is you?!"

Frowning, Sophia looked at Stephen with a painful face in his sleep: what was going on? As She hesitated whether to tell Daniel, Stephen suddenly opened his eyes.

This beautiful face was in his sleep, and it annoyed Stephen.

"Mr. Berry, what's the matter with you? Are you not feeling well?" Sophia whispered.

Stephen's brows wrinkled more and more tightly. He pushed Sophia to the seat: "Stay away from me!" Stephen turned to look out of the window and gradually his mood calmed down.

He was still puzzled. How did that happen? How did that happen? Bali, Banyan Tree Hotels should be the place he had wedding with Jessie, how did it suddenly become Sophia?

Sophia had no idea why Stephen acted like this, but she was no in mood to find it out. Stephen asked her to stay away from him, and she wanted to do so, but now she was on a plane, and she had nowhere to go but in her seat.

Fortunately, the plane landed soon.

Had a driver to meet, Stephen got in the Rolls-Royce after he was out of the airport. Sophia hesitated and did not know how she should go back. Daniel walked over and opened the door of the car behind him with a smile. "Miss Carter, this way please."

Sophia smiled to Daniel and got in the car.

She did not notice at the moment she got in the car, not far away, Vincent and Calvin rushed to the airport and got off the car.

Calvin saw Sophia at a glance, he shouted: "Sister! Sister!" But the distance between then was far. Sophia did not hear it and just got in the car.

As the car drove out, she turned to look out the window. An SUV had blocked the place where Calvin and he were standing. As the SUV left, when Vincent and Calvin could be seen, Sophia had turned to face the front.

"Sister! Sister!" Calvin squeezed through the crowd and ran over, but Sophia had left.

Vincent also saw Sophia. He patted Calvin on the shoulder: "Calvin, get in the car!"

Vincent followed in his Porsche. When they passed by a school, it was the time for the students to leave school, so they failed to catch up. Calvin was discouraged, and Vincent comforted him: "It's all right. We are relieved to know that she is all right. She's in ST, anyway, and we'll find her soon."

Calvin pressed his lips and said nothing.

He and Vincent failed to find Sophia in ST, but when they went to the airport to see if Sophia had left ST, they saw Sophia went back.

"You must be hungry after a long day. Let's go to dinner." Vincent said while driving.

Calvin looked out of the window: "Vincent, since Sophia is OK, I will go back. I only took a week off and had to go back to school."

"Calvin, I will take you to find Sophia tomorrow. She wants to see you. Meet her before you leav."

Calvin's face was cold. "I don't want to see her. When I see her, I think of my mother..." Calvin did not finish the words behind.

Vincent held the steering wheel tightly: "Calvin, your sister was not intentional. At any rate, she's your sister. I'll arrange you to meet her before you go."

Calvin did not speak, but his eyes were filled with endless sadness.

Stephen went directly back to the villa after he left from the airport. Daniel send Sophia back.

Looking at Stephen's tired face, Sophia immediately went upstairs to get bath water ready for Stephen, as well a towel and clothes.

Sophia was attentive, but Stephen was not satisfied: "You are eager to let me take a bath, do you want to me to fall asleep earlier and you can be free? Or......" Stephen suddenly got close, pinched Sophia's chin, forcing her to raise her face, "You are so short of a man. You just got off the plane and tried to seduce me?"

Sophia frowned: "Mr. Berry, I'm sorry I forgot you asked me to stay away from you. I'll remember that!” Sophia struggled out of her chin from the hands of Stephen and then turned away.

She was tired, too. She also wanted to have a good rest. She would rather that he did not need her serve!

As soon as she got to the door, Stephen pulled her back and pressed her against the wall.
