Chapter 281 Drake "Suffer" the Same
"Oh! Sophia, not everyone should take the herbs. Each herb has its own use. Drake should have
proper herbs even if he has to."
Emma's words reminded Sophia, and she said, "Ms. Glass, does the diet therapist you bring here leave
the city? How about asking him to examine Drake!"
Emma burst into laughter, "Don't worry, Sophia, I'm on your side in this issue. When the diet therapist
was about to leave, I asked him to make a prescription for Drake. And I have decocted the herb soup
for him."
Drake was speechless.
Emma went into the kitchen and then brought out the herb soup, "Come on, here you are. Hereafter,
you two should share the good and the bad together."
"Ms. Glass!" Sophia said resignedly.
"Don't be shy. You will finally be a couple. Anyhow, you merely lack the marriage certificates," said
Emma.
Sophia couldn't retort at all.
By the way, it was funny to see Drake take his herb soup!
"Hurry up! Just do as what you told me just now," said Sophia.
Drake failed to fight back and kept silent.
He didn't expect that he would "suffer" the same so soon.
Aria stood and thought that it was the very home she always aspired for.
If Olivia got turned away and the Old Riley accepted Sophia finally, it would be the happy ending.
...
Recently, Olivia didn't have time to give trouble to Sophia and Drake because she was busy
canvassing for Zain. The election was right on the way. She was anxious to make him become the
mayor of Sealand.
Although Zain knew what her real purpose was, he still said gratefully, "Mrs. Riley, I wouldn't have so
many advocates but for your help."
"We're just getting what we want. Remember, we're on the same boat," said Olivia.
"Please be assured about it. I will give you the green light as long as you help me get the position I
want."
"That's appreciated!"
As they reached the agreement, Olivia left hurriedly in case of being noticed.
Unexpectedly, she was still seen by Roman.
In the recent time, no matter what Olivia did, she just did it without Roman's knowledge.
Roman stared at her with a bad look, "Mom, I don't deserve your trust, do I?"
Olivia tossed a glance at him, "I do. What are you talking about?"
"No, you don't. You used to tell me about everything. But now...you just keep me in the dark. You've
been disappointed at me, haven't you?"
"Nonsense! You're my son!"
"And this is reason why you're disappointed about what I've done before."
Olivia looked at him, feeling satisfied, "Roman, you were never so unreasonable before."
"Indeed, I weren't. But now I feel that you have less and less trust in me. I admit that I'm a bit out of
your control due to Sophia. But mom, I'm your son!"
Olivia felt confused suddenly, "What on earth do you want to say?"
"I don't know why you still collude with Zain. Mom, tell me the truth. What the hell are you doing?"
Olivia said angrily, "Well, you know what, because of you, many of my plans failed. I have to find
another way. And if you dare tell others about me meeting with Zain today, you'll never be my son, do
you understand?"
In this moment, Roman felt stunned and asked tentatively, "Mom, can you tell me even if you don't give
birth to me, you still want to get everything of the Riley family?"
Olivia seemed to be seen through and tried to dissimulate her real purpose, "Roman, what are you
talking about?"
"Am I wrong? From the very beginning, you had planned to marry my dad and destroy others' family.
You kept telling me that what you managed to do was all for me. But mom, did you do so only for me? Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Or for other purposes?"
"Are you suspicious of me?" Olivia questioned him aggressively which made Roman doubted if he was
right to ask her such a question.
Generally, she should have given up since he couldn't take on the mantle of the head of the Riley
family.
However, she didn't even give up but wanted more. Thus, Roman couldn't help but think that the
property of the Riley family was her priority in her mind. Even if he was never born, she would aspire to
it!
Worse, perhaps, he was merely the excuse for her.
Olivia said, flaring up, "Look, Roman. I know what you're thinking about, but what I do is all for you! If
you insist, you can cut me out of your life! But you know who will benefit from what I've done."
Roman was in sudden bewilderment.
He never thought of these questions before. He felt like losing control of his mind and he began
thinking a lot.
Olivia didn't want to sow enmity between her and her only son in this world, thereby comforting him,
"Boy, I spoke a bit harshly just now. But don't believe the rumor that I slept with your dad of my own
accord which caused his separation from Emma. That's not the fact."
"Not the fact?" Roman looked at her in surprise.
"Of course. I was drunk then, and I totally had no idea that I would have sex with Baron. I was
supposed to forget it, but I soon found that I was pregnant with his baby, that is, you..."
"Roman, you couldn't grow without your father, and thus I told it to the Old Riley and finally we could
live in the Riley manor. In fact, for you, I haven't had a good time these years."
"But I had to be tough. After all, you are also the child of the Riley family. You are also one of the heirs
to take charge of the family, aren't you?"
"Now that your grandpa doesn't allow it, then I should strive for it for you. Even though everyone
misunderstands me at the end, as your mom, I must win the part for you which you deserve."
Roman held her in arms suddenly, "Mom, sorry. I shouldn't be suspicious of you. I must have let you
down these days!"
Olivia curled her lips into a faint smile. She gave birth to Roma and she did know how to cope with him.
"It doesn't matter. You're still young so it's normal for you to be blinded and misunderstand me."
"Mom, I'm wrong. I will do anything you tell me to do."
