"From the get-go, you should've listened to me and straight up asked Theo whether he'd be your boyfriend or not. If he refused, so what? You wanted to start off as friends and wasted so much of your prime years!"
Sophia still didn't agree with her dad's perspective. "Dad! You just don't get it! Theo is different from other guys. If I'd confessed my feelings from the start, we might not even have become friends; he would've totally ghosted me."
Thaddeus scoffed seriously, "So what if he ghosts you? There are plenty of fish in the sea. My daughter won't be short of suitors, right? I can introduce you to guys way hotter than Theo."
Sophia firmly said, "How can any guy compare to Theo? Dad, I don't care; I don't want anyone but Theo. You must help me get rid of that Ellinor. I never want to see her around Theo again!"
Previously, Sophia didn't think much of Patricia. Although she was obsessed with Theo, she knew Theo didn't like fragile and affected women like Patricia; they would never work out.
But she hadn't expected Ellinor to show up.
Originally, she didn't want to completely get rid of Ellinor, fearing it would create a rift between her and Theo or that if Ellinor died when Theo needed her most, she would become a scar in Theo's heart, making him miss her forever.
Now she couldn't care less, feeling that if she didn't get rid of Ellinor, she'd really have to watch Ellinor and Theo live a happy life together.
Although Thaddeus didn't like how Theo treated his daughter, he hated to see her sad and disappointed even more. He decided to make a promise to her.
"Don't worry, that woman is just asking for trouble by competing with my daughter for a man. You just got off the plane, so go take a bath and rest a bit. Leave this matter to me."
Sophia nodded sadly as she left her father's embrace and headed towards Thaddeus Manor.
