The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1721

Marcus shook his head. "I didn't hear any conversation, but the slam of a door woke me up. Tristan, too."

Sophia remembered her father leaving. He had indeed slammed the door.

So, Marcus was awakened by the slamming door, not by the conversation she just had with her father.

She felt relieved.

She was worried that Marcus would overthink if he heard what they were talking about.

Sophia chuckled. "That's just how my father is. He does everything with such gusto. Sorry if it startled you and Tristan."

Marcus nonchalantly shook his head. "It's fine. Why didn't you invite your father to stay for dinner?"

Sophia's face flashed with a hint of unease as she thought about the unpleasant incident with her father just now. "Oh, my dad said he had something to do, so he didn't join us."

Marcus gave her a nod, not pressing further. He didn't really care if Thaddeus stayed for dinner or not; he was just trying to dismiss Sophia's suspicions.

Sophia let out a small sigh of relief. "Marcus, why don't you and Tristan watch some TV while I finish up here."

"Alright."

Moran had been waiting for her in the dessert shop for an hour already. He already refilled his coffee twice over.
