Sophie’s smile was abruptly cut off by Bernard's cold voice.
After stopping her smile, she walked up to Bernard, looking at him with disappointed eyes, "Bernard, are you unhappy since I’m here?"
There was no emotion on Bernard's handsome face as his somber eyes stared at her intently. "Why are you here?"
This was his private residence in H City, hardly known to anyone. Sophie showing up here could only mean that she had been following him.
Frightened by his gaze, Sophie stepped back, then after wrapping herself tightly in her bath towel, she cautiously approached Bernard again.
She said, "Bernard, Donna knows your whereabouts quite well, and she sent me here because she thinks that since I've finished my studies, we should make some progress in our relationship."
Mustering her courage, she extended her beautiful hand to caress his face but he dodged her touch just before she reached him.
He didn't even deign to grab her wrist and push her away, choosing to avoid her altogether instead.
His disdain for Sophie was as alive as ever.
Sophie laughed with despair. "Bernard, how much longer must I wait for you?!"
Looking down at her, Bernard didn't bother to say another word, but coldly uttered, "Get out."
Normally, Sophie would've obediently left, never daring to go against Bernard's wishes.
But now, wrapped in her bath towel, she had put all of her feminine charms on display for him.
He was utterly unmoved, not even sparing her a look, and demanding her to leave. How could she bear this?
Sophie clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she angrily snapped, "You promised him you would marry me, have you forgotten that?"
Hearing Sophie's words, the iciness in the depth of Bernard's eyes didn't fade, "If it weren't for him, I would never marry you. If you understand that, then get out!"
Feeling suffocated, Sophie recalled that in the past, every time she threatened Bernard with this line, he would always compromise.
