Drenched in Love novel Chapter 99

Walking gently to the second floor, the noblewoman stood in front of the bedroom and raised her hand to knock on the door. No one answered.

The woman, Grace, thought her son was too tired after work and wanted to check on him before leaving, she gently opened the door, but was stunned by the sight in front of her.

On the white European-style bed, Stephen was holding a woman sleeping sweetly. She saw Stephan wore his pyjamas. The woman in his arms was covered by Stephen, but her whole back was revealed, which indicated the woman must be naked.

Grace looked at them in surprise.

The feeling of being interrupted woke up Stephen, he opened his eyes and saw Grace standing at the door, Stephen frowned and let go of Sophia to get up, "Why are you here?"

Grace raised her head to try to see what the woman in bed actually looked like, Stephen was getting more serious. She then immediately withdrew her gaze, "You have not come home for a long time, your father and I miss you very much, so I come to see you and ask you to go back for a meal when you have the time."

Grace and Stephen said to each other as they walked out.

Once the bedroom door was closed, Sophia opened her eyes. She got up and looked at her body, which was only in her underwear, and her heart was full of mixed feelings: how... did she lie in the same bed with Stephen again? And what’s worse, they were seen by Stephen's mother!

Sophia pursed her lips and tried to get out of bed despite her abdominal pain. She wanted to put on her own clothes, looking around and finding that in this room there were only Stephen's clothes, not hers. The first thing she could do was to find a shirt in the closet that was not so expensive and put it on.

In the living room, Hannah served tea to Grace and Stephen and then left them alone.

Grace took a sip of tea and looked at her son, "Who is she?"

Stephen began alert, "What do you want now?"

Grace was silent for a moment, "Stephen, mom just cares about you. Why do you think of me like that?"

Grace's eyes got red, then wet, "Stephen, mom knows that you are still concerned about Jessie’s death, but didn't you check it out yourself clearly? It was just an accident, it had nothing to do with me! Honestly speaking, I did not like Jessie at the beginning, I disliked her origin, I did take money to make her leave you, but after all these methods failed, I did not do anything more, right?"

Stephen only lowered his eyes and drank tea, remained silent.

Grace sniffed, "No matter who she is, no matter which family she is from, if you really like her, then bring her to our home for dinner on the weekend. I want to take a look at her with your father."

"I'm not available for the weekend!" Stephen directly refused her.

Grace looked at her stubborn son and persuaded again, "Then... when you have time, you could come home for a meal. As for the girl, when you are willing to let us to see her, then we will see her, it’s all up to you."

Grace was silent for a while and said, "Stephen, you have not come home for five years and have not accepted a woman for five years, your father and I already know your attitude. In the future, we will not interfere in matters concerning you. Now that you have a woman by your side again, we will treat her well, and will not treat her like Jessie... "

"Don’t say her name!" Stephen shouted at her angrily.

Grace shut her mouth.

After a while, Grace got up and left. Stephen went to see her off.

Sophia was on the upstairs watching the movement below. After hearing the two were about to leave, Sophia hurriedly ran down from upstairs and ran to her room. Just as she arrived in the living room, Grace and Stephen came back.

"Look at me! I forget to take my handbag... "

The other words were swallowed hard by Grace, who looked in surprise at the woman in the living room who was barefoot and wearing only her son's blouse.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, she was a bit at a loss, not knowing where to put her hands. She tried her best to put a smile on her face, "Auntie, good morning."

Sophia was just greeting in a friendly way, and definitely didn't mean anything else. But from Grace's side, she tried to please her boyfriend’s mother. She gave Sophia a smile back.

Stephen frowned at Sophia. His own shirt was so big that it could be used as a skirt on her body, but seeing those two white thighs under the shirt, and her bare feet, and thinking of her severe menstrual cramps problem and the doctor's advice to keep warm, anger rose up from the bottom of his heart, "Why are you standing here? Get out of here!"

Sophia said "Yes" and immediately left. As she entered her room, she heard Grace behind her whispering to Stephen, "How can you talk to a girl like that? Be careful that the girl may leave you!"

Grace was now really afraid, afraid of Stephen's stubbornness. Compared to Stephen marrying a woman she was not satisfied with, it was more difficult for her to accept that Stephen would not marry any woman.

Stephan at the beginning didn’t want to hear his mother’s lecture, but her words, "Be careful that the girl may leave you," did provoke him: would Sophia leave him? In this world, unless he said he didn’t want Sophia, Sophia was never allowed to say she would leave him!

Stephan actually was very confident in himself, but he couldn’t help but think of her mother's words again during the meal, and he couldn’t help but look up at Sophia. She was very nervous being stared by Stephan, wondering what she had done that made Stephen angry again.

When the phone rang, Stephen went to the study on the second floor to answer it, Sophia couldn't help but secretly took a sigh of relief. Just as she relaxed, another phone rang. Sophia got tensed, and found out it was her own phone, and immediately answered it.

The call was from Calvin, "Sophia, I'm at ST Internaional Airport right now."

Sophia was startled, "Calvin, are you leaving now? You... "

Calvin interrupted her, "Come here right now, I'll take you to America to find our father. It's eight o'clock in the evening, I've bought a flight for 11:30, there are still two and a half hours left, you'd better come. If you don't come this time, you will never see me and dad again in your life."

Sophia looked at the phone and froze for a moment, then immediately turned around and was about to pack up and leave. Calvin finally agreed to take her to see their father, she couldn't be happier, how could she not go?

When she turned around and saw Stephen coming down the stairs, Sophia's smile froze on her face and her heart became cold again: she couldn’t always get what she wanted.
