Get you in my arms novel Chapter 50

She paused and chuckled. "My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me. At that time, he was with another woman. After that, he then came to my mother and asked her to divorce. When I was one year old, they finally separated. However, God is wise. He and her mistress will be killed by the lightning someday in the future. This is karma! "

As she spoke, the muscle on Sam's face kept twitching. It repeated that the man she said was not anyone else, but a clear reflection of himself. Fixing her eyes on him, she saw all his expressions clearly. "Mr. Sam, don't you think such a person should be dead?" she asked.

Sam didn't reply. His face was pale and his forehead kept sweating.

"Mr. Sam, are you hot?" Sophia laughed secretly.

"A little." Sam nodded in embarrassment.

"Let me add a little more ice to your glass." As soon as she finished her words, she waved to the waiter and asked him to add a few pieces of ice to the champagne. "Mr. Sam, you just look like my father, and you won't do anything like that, will you?"

His face was getting paler and paler. He had done something bad and he felt guilty every time. At that moment, Sandra and her daughter came out from the bathroom. Maggie had put on make-up. Lucas never paid any attention to her. When Maggie saw that Sophia was not with him, she quickly walked towards him, while Sandra went back to stop Sophia, in case that Sophia came back to the side of Lucas and disturbed her daughter's good news.

"Lucas." Maggie greeted him in a sweet voice, with her eyes staring at him. She tried so hard to make herself look at him, but unfortunately, she did not receive his eyes at all. Lucas only nodded to her politely as a response.

A stir of disappointment swept over her mind, and she kept asking, "the movie of Ellie's crew is going to be on stage. Will you be here to take part in the shooting?" She took the opportunity to find out the topic.

"Yes, I will." Lucas answered simply.

"Ellie is a talented actress. She can act her own reflection. She is going to be the leading actress tomorrow," She deliberately ignored his indifference and continued. It was easy for a girl to woo a man. She had never failed in pursuing a man.

"Ellie does have a gift." He nodded and glanced around the hall, then he fixed his eyes on Sophia. "Excuse me." He greeted to her politely and then walked towards her.

Worried that Sophia would reveal her real identity, Sandra asked, "what are you talking about?"

"Talk about my father." Sophia deliberately replied.

Hearing that, Sandra immediately pulled a long face and stared at her fiercely.

"Mrs. Lin, what are you worried about?" Sophia laughed scornfully.

"It's your business. Why should I worry?" Hearing that, Sandra could not help but curl her mouth. She was not a fool. Seeing from her husband's calm face, he shouldn't know Sophia was his daughter.

"Okay, I should go now." As soon as Sandra wanted to hold her back, she did not expect that Lucas had already come to her. It seemed that his daughter had failed again. She was angry, anxious and unwilling to give up. What's the taste of Lucas? Maggie was gentle and noble, every man wouldn't covet her, but why couldn't he like her? The dirty bitch, Mandy's daughter, was far less beautiful than Maggie. Lucas should have taken her as a treasure. That was weird!

Sophia held the arm of Lucas. She cast a profound glance at Sandra and Sam.

"Why are you interested in Maggie's family all of a sudden?" Lucas teased her.

"As the saying goes," know your enemy and yourself, and a hundred battles will not be in vain! " Sophia blinked her eyes mischievously.

They went to a corner of the banquet hall and had a small chat with several chamber of commerce after sharing a glass of champagne. In the meantime, Sophia had been staying quietly beside Lucas, listening attentively. She was not excited or impatient, and always behaved in a graceful and decent manner.

Not far away, Jacob had been observing her secretly. He was curious how special this woman was that she could fascinate his son. Though he was unwilling to admit it, he was satisfied with her performance tonight.

Among the guests, there was a pair of eyes fixed on her, but she did not notice, and was captured by Lucas.

"Your ex is here too. Shall we go and find him?" Turning around to look at her, Lucas said in an understated tone.

"What?" Sophia was a little surprised. She looked around the guests and finally met with John. But only for a second, she turned her eyes back, "Okay, say hello to them." She smiled, with no expression on her face.

John came with her parents. As soon as she entered the banquet hall, he had never taken his eyes off her. He wanted to walk over and hold her hand in his arms as before, but it was impossible now. She was standing next to another man and her hand was held in the palm of another man. She didn't belong to him anymore, and even had reached the point of "turning him into a stranger".

His heart twisted when he saw them walking towards him slowly.

"John, long time no see." Sophia greeted him first. Since the incident at restaurant last time, John hasn't appeared there anymore. She could tell from his countenance that he didn't have a good time recently. He was sometimes gaunt and sometimes depressed. It was almost impossible to find any trace of sunshine and being cheerful before.

"Long time no see, Sophia." He replied in a low voice. When he touched the diamond ring, his eyes were suddenly wide. The corners of his mouth were trembling slightly, and the color of his face slowly faded, making his originally pale face even paler.

Lucas looked at him secretly and saw his expression. Obviously, he still had feelings for Sophia. He wanted to give John a fatal blow and make him completely give up on Sophia. He raised the back of Sophia's hand and gently touched the engagement ring on her middle finger with his slender finger. "I'm going to get married to Sophia. Our engagement ceremony will be held next month. I hope you can attend it."

Just as the words fell from his lips, John was like struck by lightning and had a fierce twitch. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to congratulate. But he couldn't say anything for a long time. His tongue seemed to be stiff.

Sophia stretched her hand into the crook of his arm and secretly pinched him. It was obvious that this guy intentionally provoked John. Male animals would be possessive and tell the others their possessions to avoid being threatened!

Not far away, Mrs. Xu, who was chatting with her husband and his peers, was shocked when she saw Sophia standing in front of her son. She left her husband behind immediately and went to sit in the spot.

"Sophia, I didn't expect you to be here, too?" She stared at her with a sullen look. She was going to tease her at first, but when she saw that Lucas was beside her, she immediately got choked. The Xue family's affair had been in the business world, and there was still no aftershock. Now everyone was courting death to offend Lucas?

"Mrs. Xu, do I come to invite John to attend our engagement ceremony?" She smiled unnaturally.

"Are you going to marry Mr. Lucas?" Said Mrs. Xu, astounded, as if she had seen a bunch of sparks flying towards her.
