Chapter 301 The Third Wheel
Chapter 301 The Third Wheel
Leah was Zain's younger sister, whom Sophia had heard about before. She liked Bailey but failed to
win his heart. She had been trying to get close to Bailey through Bailey's mother, who thought Chloe
was the perfect choice for her son and didn't give chances to any other woman.
From their conversation, it seemed that Leah had spoken ill of Chloe and was being lectured by Mrs.
Duncan. Mrs. Duncan's words were harsh but right to the point.
"Mrs. Duncan, you misunderstood. I just..."
Before she finished, Mrs. Duncan interrupted her. "I misunderstood? Do you think of me as a fool who
couldn't see what you were trying to do?"
Leah's face was very pale.
"Luckily, I caught you on the spot today. Who knows what else you have done to Chloe when I didn't
see it?"
Leah hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Duncan, what could I do to Chloe?"
Before her words were finished, Chloe had put on a pitiful look, "Mrs. Duncan, it's okay. It's all in the
past now..."
Leah opened her eyes wide and looked at Chloe in disbelief.
Although she did make trouble for Leah many times, it was because she couldn't stand the fact that
Bailey dated some other woman. Moreover, she had never once succeeded in teaching Chloe a
lesson. How could Chloe say those misleading words?
"No, it's not in the past. Leah, you think you can do anything you want with your brother as your
backing? I'm telling you, Chloe is my future daughter-in-law and no one can hurt her!"
"It's not like that, Mrs. Duncan. I can explain, Chloe..."
Mrs. Duncan didn't want to listen at all and raised her hand, saying harshly, "Alright! Get out of my face
now!"
Back then, although Mrs. Duncan disliked Leah, she would disguise her dislike.
Chloe looked at Leah with a complacent smile, as if saying, "No way you could defeat me!"
Leah left with a livid face.
Mrs. Duncan spotted Sophia and Emma and walked up to them, "Hey! Drake's mother and Sophia?
What a coincidence!"
Chloe turned her head and saw Sophia and Emma. She walked up to Sophia and whispered, "You
have also made an appointment with your future mother-in-law, why didn't you tell me?"
Sophia said with an innocent look on her face, "We ran into each other by accident, believe me?"
"I don't!"
Sophia was speechless.
Well, then she got nothing to say.
After chatting with Emma for a while, Mrs. Duncan looked at Chloe and Sophia, "Our sons are really
blessed to meet such two nice women."
Emma teased her, "They haven't been married to our sons yet!"
Mrs. Duncan pouted and said, "They will sooner or later. Chloe, your whole family is on board with your
marriage with Bailey!"
Chloe chuckled, "They wouldn't force me if I didn't want to!"
"Hey! You seem dissatisfied with Bailey? I will talk to him and have him reflect on himself! I will punish
him for his wrong doings!"
Sophia hadn't asked Chloe much about her relationship with Mrs. Duncan and now she was relieved to
see them in harmony.
Mrs. Duncan suggested, "Since we are all here, shall we go shopping together?"
"My daughter Aria's birthday is coming up soon, and I don't know what gift to buy for her. We have just
started searching here, I think we should leave you two."
Mrs. Duncan was here to buy clothes for Chloe. Although Chloe had a lot of clothes already, the
clothes she bought for Chloe meant something different. Chloe was her future mother-in-law and she
should buy some clothes for her to show her sincerity.
"Okay then. We should hang out together some time. And Emma, you should hang out with us more
often instead of staying at home all the time."
Emma loved Mrs. Duncan's personality and answered with a smile, "I'd love that."
"Looking forward to it!"
Although the relationship between the two was not yet close, they would be seeing each other much
more often from now on and Mrs. Duncan was willing to make friends with Emma.
Sophia and Emma then walked to the other side.
After walking for a long time, they still didn't see any good gift to buy for Aria.
Sophia suddenly suggested, "Ms. Glass, I remember you are good at knitting. Maybe you can knit a
sweater for Aria. It's a good gift, a sweater knitted by her mother."
Emma was enlightened, "You are right, Sophia. Thank you for your reminder. I almost forgot about it.
Aria lacks mother's care the most and maybe we will become closer if I can compensate her with it."
"Well, let's go and buy the wool!"
Emma then bought the wool, while Sophia bought a valuable watch to give Aria on her birthday.
When they were about to leave, Sophia's phone rang. It was Drake.
"I'm in your company. Why aren't you here?"
"I came out to buy gifts for Aria with Ms. Glass, her birthday's coming up."
"Why didn't you tell me? I haven't bought a gift for her yet."
Sophia was surprised, "You are her brother. I thought you have bought it. How could you forget about
it?"
"Paul buys Aria's birthday gift for me every year."
Sophia was speechless.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't talk, Drake asked.
"You are a terrible brother."
"You mean I should select a gift for her on my own?"
"Shouldn't you?"
Drake had never cared about it before. He had never even thought of preparing a birthday gift for Aria
on her birthdays but she insisted on having him send her gifts. So he always bought something for her
casually.
Later on, he asked the butler to do it for him. After he had Paul as his assistant, he left the job to Paul.
But after Sophia said this, he found that he was indeed not a nice brother.
"Where are you? I will go to you!"
Sophia told him the address. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
When Emma heard their conversation, she smiled and said, "Since Drake is coming, I will leave lest I
become a third wheel."
"What are you talking about, Ms. Glass?" Sophia blushed.
"I am the third wheel here and I don't want to interrupt you."
"Stop joking, Ms. Glass." Sophia was a bit anxious.
"Alright now. I need to go home and think of the sweater thing. I want to knit a sweater that Aria will
like. You should wait for Drake here."
Sophia didn't ask her to stay.
After seeing Emma off, Sophia thought she should walk around while waiting for Drake. At this
moment, someone came up to her, "Excuse me, are you Miss Lawson?"
