Drenched in Love novel Chapter 72

Sophia struggled, but Stephen held her tight, and she could not break free.

Sophia looked up, sneering at Stephen: "Mr. Berry, Mr. Berry! You'd better let go, I will stay away from you, otherwise will be blamed on me I seduce you! My body is cheap, worthless, it never mind that it ruined. But you are noble, if you are defiled by me, you will feel disgusted and this life you can't eat."

She said ironically. Perhaps it was because she had been repressed for a long time, but as she said this, her eyes sparkled like those of a proud little girl.

Stephen suddenly lost strength, with his hands weakness down, with entanglement and helpless that Sophia did not understand.

“Go!” Stephen urged. Sophia immediately left as fast as possible. As soon as she disappeared from the door, the door slammed behind her, startling her.

After taking off his clothes, Stephen lay in the bathtub. He took a breath in the warm water. He lay in it with his eyes closed. The picture just now flashed into his mind.

Stephen was very clear, whether for the first time, the second time, or later, he was out of control when he faced Sophia. When he said Sophia seduced him, Sophia had done nothing at all. It was because of him.

Sliding down, Stephen was submerged under the water. After a while, he came out of the water, with countless drops of water.

He wiped his face, looked up at the ceiling, and muttered, "I must be crazy."

‘Stephen, you must be crazy, otherwise how can you...’

Stephen shook his head: No! No! He didn't have feeling for Sophia, he just... He's just physically too lonely. He was a normal grown man with needs like that.

He had never had a woman before, so for five years after Jessie's death, he had never been close to a woman. Later, under the drunken situation, he had sex with Sophia and had the taste of the joy if it, and gradually he was uncontrollable. And that made sense.

Sophia skipped the dinner and went back to sleep early. Because she went to bed early, she woke up at 3:30 in the morning before dawn.

Sophia got up, pour a cup of cold water in the kitchen. When she was back to the room to sleep again, Sophia thought of before in this room she always had nightmares.

She hadn't had nightmares like that since she killed herself and came back from the hospital. Sophia felt weird and looked around the guest room, but she did not find anything. She frowned: probably, it was because she was emotional before.

After charging her mobile phone, Sophia found the number of Hazel. As she wanted to call her and tell her that she was safe, she thought Hazel must not wake up in the middle of the night, so she gave up.

After lying in bed and sleeping for a while, Sophia got up at 5:30. She still remembered Stephen asked her to stay away from him, so she did not go up to prepare clothes for him. But breakfast had to be ready, lest Stephen blamed on her.

At 6:30, Stephen woke up and came down from upstairs. He took a look at Sophia and quietly sat down to eat breakfast, read the newspaper.

At 7:30, the driver took him away.

Everything was fine, Sophia felt relieved and drove her car to go to work.

She had not been work for a week, Hazel missed her very much, gave her a big hug. Others in the office smiled when they saw her and stunned by the mechanical watch on her wrist.

Sophia noticed that she was still wearing Stephen’s watch. She wore the watch on her wrist for a week. The discomfort at first gradually became a habit and she forgot to take it off when she went to work this morning.

Sophia bit her lip and immediately removed the limited edition mechanical watch and put it in a desk drawer.

Hazel noticed her action, gave her questioning eyes. Sophia smiled then shook her head.

Because of embarrassment, Sophia drank a lot of water in the morning and went to the toilet more often. When she got up, Hazel followed her. Sitting on the toilet, Hazel was going to ask Sophia what was going on, but a female voice sounded in the toilet, and Hazel immediately shut up.

"Natalia, is that Sophia’s watch from Mr. Berry?" This was Olivia's voice.

"How can that be?!" This was the voice of Natalia, "She is like from the countryside, how can Mr. Berry like her? I think it's an imitation to deceive us!"

Olivia agreed.

A third voice rang out from the toilet: "That's Mr. Berry's watch. I just went up to the 28th floor to ask my good friend. She told me that Mr. Berry did not wear a watch at work today. And this morning when I got into the office, I closely followed Sophia behind and I saw clearly that piece of watch is Mr. Berry. It is not an imitation! Imitation could not be like that."

Silence was again in the ladies' room. After a while, the voice of Natalia rang out: "Even if it is Mr. Berry’s. Maybe she robbed it. How could Mr. Berry give her his watch?"

There was no more talking.

After the three people left, Sophia and Hazel came out of the toilet. Two people stood in front of the washbasin to wash their hands. Hazel looked at Sophia, with questions in his eyes.

Sophia smiled and explained: "That watch is really Mr. Berry’s. But Mr. Berry made me wear the watch to cover up the scar on my wrist."

Sophia told Hazel that her family knew Anthony Johnson, The cooperation between the Berry Group and the Johnson Group was settled by their friendship. When Stephen took her to Europe to see the progress of the project, he was afraid that Anthony found she committed suicide and that it would have the impact on the project, so he gave his watch to her.

Hazel sighed: "What a pity! I thought Mr. Berry is really interested in you."

Hazel washed her hands, wipe her hands with tissue leaning on the washbasin: "but Sophia, if Mr. Berry really likes you, will you like him?"

Sophia smiled and asked: "If Stephen likes you, will you like him?"

Hazel thought carefully for a moment, and then shook her head: "No."
