Sophia felt helpless and said, "Don't hug me. When Elise comes in later, she will see us."
If Elise saw it, she would be too ashamed to face her own daughter!
The fact that her daughter found her with a man so much younger was enough to make her feel ashamed.
In addition, Sophia also knew that Elise had feelings for Chuck.
Sophia sighed. She was secretly panicking and struggling to balance her morals and her feelings.
Chuck shook his head and said, "It's fine if she sees us. What's the matter with that?"
It was not like him to do something and be afraid to acknowledge it.
Sooner or later, Elise would find out. If she knew it earlier, it would be better for her.
"Please don't, Chuck. Please don't let Elise know," Sophia panicked.
She pleaded with Chuck.
After a moment of silence, he compromised and replied, "Well fine, I won't let her know, but I'll give you a chance to tell me before Elise returns. Who slapped you?"
"No, I don't want to mention it," Hearing this, Sophia was anxious. She did not want to drag Chuck down.
The Yeager family was a hidden family. No matter how powerful Chuck was, how could he be a match for the hidden family?
She would definitely cause Chuck trouble.
This was her own issue. Why should she get Chuck involved?
"Then you'll have to let Elise to see us like this," Chuck shrugged.
"No, Chuck. Please don't treat me like this," Sophia's tears rolled down her cheeks.
If her first boyfriend treated her like this, she would get angry immediately and would even ask him to leave!
However, when Chuck threatened her, Sophia was not pissed. How could she be angry with him? She could only plead with him since she really had feelings for him.
Sophia was anxious!
Chuck could not bear to see her like this, so he said, "Sophia, I'm here to help you. Trust me, you can tell me. I can hear footsteps. Elise is coming back soon."
Of course, Sophia heard that as well. She was nervous and desperate, "Chuck, I don't want to cause you trouble. Do you understand?"
"Do you love me? That's why you don't want to get me into trouble?" Chuck asked.
Sophia stared at Chuck in silence. Could it be that she really had fallen in love with Chuck?
She had experienced it before, but she was still confused. Did she really fall in love with Chuck?
Her thoughts wandered for a good three seconds. Soon, Sophia felt certain that she really liked Chuck.
Their little affair had brought them together and made the relationship between the two of them more obvious.
Otherwise, how could she allow Chuck to hug her like this?
Chuck was threatening her, yet she was not angry.
It must be love.
"I..." Sophia trailed off. How could she tell her his feelings? She felt abashed.
''Do you love me?" Chuck asked again.
Sophia slowly lowered her head and said in a voice so soft that it was barely audible, "Yes."
When Sophia gently nodded, she looked like a young girl who was experiencing her first love. There was no sense of discourse at all. She looked absolutely charming.
"Then tell me what happened. Elise is coming soon," Chuck suddenly said.
"Ah, no. It's Loomis Yeager..." Sophia was shocked and tried to wriggle out from his embrace.
She accidentally said Loomis' name and felt extremely regretful to see Chuck's reaction. He seemed angry and surprised, and his expression was dark and ominous
At this moment, Sophia felt very touched. Chuck's cold face and angry look told her that she finally had someone she could rely on.
In fact, she had been in charge of the Lawrence family for so many years. No matter how well she managed the family and no matter how strong she was, she was still a woman. There were times when she felt helpless and wanted a shoulder to cry on.
Chuck had given her a feeling that she had not experienced for a long time.
However, Sophia was scared. How could she say it aloud?
She couldn't tell him!
It would harm Chuck!
"Did Loomis slap you? Why would he do so?!" Chuck was furious. Loomis had the audacity to hit Sophia?
"No, I was wrong. It's not him," Sophia shook her head frantically.
"I heard it clearly. It was him. Trust me!" Chuck said with a serious look on his face.
When he asked her to trust him, she suddenly realized that the sense of security he provided her warmed her heart up.
She was completely immersed in it!
How many years had it been since she last felt like this?
She was in a daze and nodded, "Yes!"
Chuck wanted to hug her, but Elise returned with drinks for them.
