Drenched in Love novel Chapter 42

After Sophia's hand soaked in salt water for half an hour, Hannah agreed to get her hand out.

After finishing a meal, looking at the food on the table, Sophia could not help but raise the corners of her mouth. Hannah looked at her, sneered and poured all the food into the trash can one by one in her face.

Sophia’s face suddenly changed, “Hannah, you......”

Hannah looked at her coldly, “With these dishes, you are not qualified to give them to Mr. Berry!”

“But...” Sophia frowned: it is wasteful. She worked hard on a dozen of dishes and now they got dumped into the trash can.

Sophia did not have food in the morning. And after working for a night, she was starving and her stomach growled.

The look in Hannah's eyes immediately became disdain, “Are you hungry? Well, eat all this food. Remember, eat them all and don't waste them.”

Hannah said while kicking the trash can.

Sophia's face turned pale.

The trash can was clean, with nothing in it except the food that had just been poured into it.

But anyway, it was a trash can. Even if there were delicacies poured in, they were dirty and unfit to be eaten.

“Hannah.” Sophia bit her lips and said, “What did you just say?”

“I said you eat all this food!”

“But the food is already in the trash can.”

“Then you can eat with the trash can! The trash can here should be cleaner than your bowl!”

Sophia bit her lips and refused to move. Her eyes were already red, and there was a clear irritation in them.

Hannah chuckled out, “Miss Carter, you'd better be obedient. Otherwise...I'm afraid Mr. Berry could not keep his words.”

Sophia's face changed again.

Hannah raised her chin, “Miss Carter, eat. You have to eat and it is of no use to resist!”

Suddenly she burst into tears.

When tears fell down to the ground, Sophia squatted down and put her hand into the trash can.

Hannah nodded with satisfaction, “Yeah, that is it, use your hand, eat them all. Don't waste!”

She grabbed the food with her hands and slowly lifted it to her mouth, hesitating whether to open her mouth. Stephen came back.

Even in the heat of early summer, his presence brought a chill.

Stephen froze when he saw the situation in front of him. Sophia got hope in heart, hoping Stephen could stop that.

Hannah said, “Mr. Berry, I ask Miss Carter to eat.”

Stephen took off his white suit. He sat on the leather sofa and crossed his long legs.

Hannah brought a cup of coffee, and Stephen took a sip, looked at Sophia coldly and said, “Go on.”

Sophia's last glimmer of hope was shattered. She clenched her teeth and looked at Stephen, “Mr. Berry, have you done what you promised me?”

Stepthen casually put the coffee on the coffee table and said, “I'm going to do it tomorrow.”

Stephen did not say anything else, but Sophia understood what he meant: if she was not obedient tonight, he would not help her.

Sophia nodded with a wry smile, “All right. I see. What I promised you, I will do.”

With the second drop of tears falling, Sophia caught the food and out it into mouth.

Although Sophia made the food, although it did not taste bad, it was taken out of the trash can.

With the first mouthful of food into the mouth, Sophia's stomach began to violently roll up. She stood up, turned around and was to rush to the bathroom.

“Stop.”

Stephen's cold voice stopped her. “You have to eat all this food tonight. No matter where you spit the food, you must pick it up and eat it again! My family’s things could not be wasted!”

Sophia stiffed and turned around with a pale face.

Stephen looked at her and said in a cold voice, “Come back, and go on!”

Sophia swallowed the food in her mouth,went to the trash can and knelt down.

It was not that she liked the pose, but that she was powerless and did not know what dignity was.

Because she got up in a hurry earlier, the trash can fell down, most of the food had already spilled out, and a small part was still in the trash can.

Sophia grabbed the food from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth. Tears silently fell into the food and was eaten by her.

Hannah was unbearable and wanted to say something, but seeing Stephen's cold face, thinking of Stephen's words, thinking solitude of the villa in these years, she shut up.

‘Miss Carter, you brought this on yourself.’

Stephen looked at her for a while, got up impatiently and said Hannah “Keep an eye on her” and then went upstairs. At the corner of the stairs, Stephen stopped, “Wipe the floor clean before you go to sleep!”

Until the floor of the whole villa was wiped clean, Sophia had no time to sleep.

When she washed dishcloth and hung it on the balcony, it was already 6 o’clock in the morning. Sophia washed her face and walked to the Berry Group dragging her tired body.

“Sophia, my brother is fine now! Thank you very much. My brother asked you to have dinner at noon.”

Hazel knew Sophia left immediately after work and she got no time at night, so she invited her to dinner at noon.

Sophia shook her head and refused, “Hazel, I have not finished my works.”

People in the office were leaving for dinner. Natalia passed by and head Sophia’s words. She sneered, “Hazel, don't curry favor with her! Don't you see that she doesn't want to talk to you?”

Hazel ignored Natalia and took Sophia's hand, “Sophia......

Sophia screamed in a low voice and took Hazel’s hands out.

“Sophia, what's wrong with you?!”

Sophia refused to show her. Hazel spread out Sophia's hand. When she saw it clearly, Hazel's eyes suddenly got red, “Sophia......”

Her fair and slender fingers were now swollen. There was a scar on the finger, and the wound has swollen badly. If it had not taken care of, it would get fester.

“Sophia, what's going on? How did that happen?!” Hazel suddenly thought of something, “is it because of me and my brother?!”
