Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Drake, What's Wrong with You?

"But what if he doesn't mind?"

"A woman can forgive a man for having a child with another woman, but no man can forgive a woman for being pregnant with another man's child before marriage!"

Aria had given up on love a long time ago. After all these experiences, she learned that if Drake forced someone to marry her, she would have a husband. But she didn't want such a marriage.

So, she preferred not to think about romantic relationship and instead focused on working. If she treated her nephews and nieces well enough, she believed they would take care of her when she got old and feeble.

"You're not him. How do you know what he thinks?"

Aria was not a fool. After hearing what Sophia said, she seemed to understand something, "So, he really likes me?"

Sophia took another sip of water, "If he doesn't like you. Why would he go there at such a late hour? Drake didn't ask him to go."

"But..." Aria asked incredulously, "Why would he like me?"

"Why wouldn't he? You are beautiful, well-educated, and optimistic. If those things didn't happen, you would have a lot of pursuers now."

"Well, I guess. But, Sophia, you know what happened to me. Does he really not mind?"

Sophia didn't mind helping them again, "He talked about this with your brother on your birthday, and your brother agreed. Your brother said that as long as you accept Paul, he would agree on your relationship. But if Paul failed, then there is nothing he could do."

Aria stared at Sophia incredulously with round eyes.

"Really... Did he do that?"

"Why would I lie to you? It's true!"

Aria couldn't figure out why Paul, who knew her messy past better than anyone else, would like her.

"Aria, I hope you can think about it. Paul is such a good man, don't miss him. It won't be easy to find someone better than him."

Aria understood.

In fact, after her pregnancy and abortion, many men had been trying to pursue her, but Aria was clear that they did so only because she was the young lady of the Riley family.

In other words, those people simply wanted to mess around with her.

But Paul was kind of... different.

...

The moment Sophia returned to the room, Drake threw her on the bed.

"You are finally back. I've been waiting for so long!"

Sophia told him that she got work to do. He thought it wouldn't take a long time, yet he was wrong.

He got more and more anxious as he was waiting.

Sophia looked at him with a smile, "I didn't ask you to wait for me. Why don't you go to bed?"

"I can't sleep without you."

"Speaking of which, Christmas is soon. I'll go back to Pinkerton by then. And you will be awake at night this whole time?"

Drake frowned, "Pinkerton? Are you going home? "

"Yeah, it's the end of the year, everyone is going home. I should too."

"Must you go back?" Drake fretted at the thought of being separated from her.

"I have been rarely at home in the past year. What excuses can I make for not going back at Christmas?"

"Well, you'll spend Christmas here with me. And then we'll go back together. What do you think?"

"No!" Sophia interrupted Drake directly, "We're not married yet. I am not going to stay here for Christmas. Forget about it!"

Drake pinched her wrist firmly, "Sophia, I want to marry you, but you refuse me."

"Yes, we are not getting married before your family matters are solved." Sophia's attitude was very firm.

"But we are living together now. The marriage certificate won't make much of a difference"

"It will!"

"How?"

"It's just different!"

Sophia and Drake didn't hold the same view of marriage.

Drake didn't get an answer. Then he decided to take action directly.

The next day, when Sophia came out of the room, Emma pulled her and said with a smile, "Sophia, Christmas is coming soon, what are your plans?"

Sophia glanced at Drake, feeling that this matter had something to do with him.

"Ms. Glass, I am having a good time living here but at the end of the year, I should go home."

Emma couldn't say persuasive words to make her stay. "Yes, you should. Sophia, when are you going to leave?"

"Well, I've been busy finishing work recently. If nothing changes, I should leave the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow? Alright, I will see you off by then!"

Sophia smiled, "No need, Ms. Glass, I will come back after Christmas."

"No, I have to see you off."

Sophia understood what Emma meant. So she said nothing more.

Sophia had been very busy recently. After all, she had many companies to take care of. So, she left after dinner.

Once she was gone, Drake lost his patience.

"Mom, what's the matter with you? Didn't I ask you to make her stay?"

Emma kept a straight face, "Do you think I don't want her to stay? But what could I do?"

Drake rarely saw his mother like this. Somehow, he felt guilty for no reason.

"Why can't you? If you have asked her to stay, she would."

Emma never hit Drake, but at this point, she really wanted to.

She stretched out her hand and patted his head.

"Drake, what's wrong with you? Although you are together, and you have the consent of the Lawson family. Have you ever actually visited the Lawson family? Do you want to keep her here now? Do you think it's possible?"

After being reminded by Emma, Drake suddenly realized his mistake.

That was right. All he thought about all day was how to keep Sophia around him. He had never thought about other things.

Now was a good chance for him to visit Sophia's family in Pinkerton, which he hadn't done before.

"Mom, what should I do? I don't have much experience of this. Let's visit the Lawson family this New Year."

Emma finally took a satisfied look at Drake.

...

Ever since Sophia told Aria that Paul liked her, Aria had been worrying about it. After much deliberation, she thought she shouldn't waste Paul's time. So, when she saw Paul again, Aria invited him for dinner.

While eating, she took the initiative to speak.

"Paul, you like me, don't you?"

Paul was almost choked. He controlled himself for fear of getting the food on her body and embarrassing himself further.

He finally swallowed the food before he choked to death.
