Sophia tapped to open Facebook. Shortly after, she saw Drake, who hardly posted anything, upload a
photo in which Sophia wiped Bonnie's mouth corner and showed the maternal love.
Above the photo was a line -- "Life is beautiful, and I feel it now. Love you both, my honey and
sweetie."
It had raised a mighty uproar online. Several company owners left their comments below, and most
flattered Drake.
Only then did Sophia understand what Chloe had meant. Clearly, Drake used another way to fight back
against Rashad.
"Do you like the picture?" Drake asked after she kept silent for a while.
Sophia showed him the photo. "Drake, don't you think you are too babyish?"
Drake retorted carelessly, "How come? I posted the photo of my wife and daughter. What's wrong with
it?"
"You know what I mean, Drake. Do you think I cannot tell why you've done it?"
"So what? Do you want others to misunderstand you've cheated on me?"
Sophia was taken aback.
She had to admit that she hadn't realized this problem. Drake's reminder made her frown.
No matter what purpose Rashad had, from outsiders' points of view, Sophia and Rashad were too
close, which was questionable. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Papa, did you shoot the photo?" Bonnie asked, looking surprised.
"Right." Drake was holding Bonnie in his arms the whole time. "Do you like it?"
Bonnie nodded repeatedly. "Mommy, can we make this photo bigger and put it in my own bedroom in
the future?"
Sophia stared at her tenderly. "Of course. I'll get it done tomorrow. OK?"
"Great!"
Bonnie clapped happily.
Sophia glared at Drake when her gaze fell on him.
Rubbing his nose, Drake said, "Sophia, don't you think you have double standards to treat Bonnie and
me?"
"I'm glad you've realized it. This shall not happen again," Sophia warned him.
However, Drake could tell she wasn't as angry as she had shown.
Thinking of Rashad, Drake sneered. 'What Rashad is doing clearly undermines Sophia's principal. He'll
end up shooting himself in the foot.'
After arriving home, Bonnie yawned. "Papa, Mommy, I'm too sleepy. I want to go to bed now."
When Sophia didn't pay attention, she whispered to Drake, "Papa, just go for it! I look forward to having
a sister or a brother next year."
Drake was amused and pinched her tiny nose dotingly. "OK. Be patient, Bonnie. I still wanna enjoy
staying with you without other children."
"But you must work hard, OK?"
Drake could tell Bonnie trusted him a lot, feeling a sense of guilt. He wondered if it was right to lie to his
daughter.
Bonnie didn't pretend to be sleepy. Shortly after she lay on the bed, she fell asleep.
When Sophia was about to check her phone, Drake pressed her with his body.
"What are you doing?" She frowned, seemingly unhappy about his behavior.
"You know what I'm doing."
"Bonnie is with us."
"I'm tired of making love in this room. Let's go to the bathroom."
Somehow, Drake became obsessed with having sex in the bathroom in the recent few days. Without
giving Sophia any chance to reject, he carried her in.
They didn't return to bed until several hours later.
The following day, when Sophia met Rashad again, the latter could see the hickeys on her neck.
His hands clenched into fists when Sophia didn't pay attention. Gradually, they loosened.
"What do you suggest, Sophia?" he asked.
With careful thought, Sophia answered, "Rashad, I'm afraid I cannot give you any suggestions on this
matter. After all, I'm Drake's wife, and you are the oldest grandson of the Riley family. If you want to
work in the Riley Group, you should ask others for their opinion instead."
"You can give me some advice as a friend and forget you are one of the Rileys for the time being. After
all, I have too few friends, and you are the person I know the best in Sealand now."
"I understand what you mean, Rashad. I'm sorry, but I can't give you any advice. If you are bothered,
why don't you discuss it with Lily?"
"Sophia, you truly love Drake, don't you?"
"Ehn?"
Sophia didn't expect him to change the subject so abruptly. She couldn't find a word to reply to him for
a moment.
"Nothing. I was just asking. Drake is indeed lucky."
Sophia smiled at him. "Rashad, you haven't met your Miss Right yet. By the way, our family will hold a
celebration party for you and Lily. I heard Grandpa had invited many gentlewomen from the upper
class. I'm sure you'll meet someone you like."
"Someone I like..."
Sophia didn't notice he was a little bit distracted. "Exactly. You are almost 30 now, so you should
hurriedly consider dating a girl. I can tell Lily must be eager to see that."
"You know what, Sophia. I have a crush on someone."
Sophia gaped at him. "Well, when did you meet her? You never mentioned it to me."
"I didn't find a right chance to tell you."
"Now you can tell me. Who is that girl? If I know her, I can help you."
Rashad gazed at her, his eyes glimmering with many emotions that Sophia couldn't understand.
Instead of thinking too much, Sophia waved her head in front of him. "Rashad? Hello?"
Rashad returned to his senses. "I didn't have a chance to tell her earlier. Although I have a chance
now, I cannot."
"Why not?"
"She's married."
Sophia was surprised. "How could it be possible? Did she also have a crush on you? Did she keep
waiting for your confession for a long time, but you hadn't done so? Finally, she lost her patience and
married another man, right?"
"Nah. I don't think she has had a crush on me before. She had dated her boyfriend for years before
getting married."
"Alas... Rashad, I'm sometimes unhappy with your character. If you had tried harder, the result might
have been different."
"I agree. I always wondered whether the result would be different if I tried harder."
Sophia sensed something wrong with him but couldn't tell precisely how.
"Forget about her. Since she's married, you'd better give up. I'm sure Grandpa will find you a better
girl."
