Chapter 212 How Am I Supposed to Gain Her Heart?
"You are so shameless!" Bard darted a glance at him in disdain.
"Of course. Or how am I supposed to gain her heart?"
Sophia was mentally strong, but Drake's words made her face blush scarlet.
"Stop it!" she snapped at him.
However, her voice and expression were coquettish in others' eyes.
A triumphant smile came over Drake's face.
When Sophia realized her tone, her cheeks turned crimson.
She coughed, trying to distract others. "Since he's here, let him sit down. I'm hungry. Shall we order
and eat?"
Since she said so, others stopped giving Drake a hard time.
However, after Sophia sat down, Edwin and Bard quickly sat on her either side. Charles learned from
them and pushed Drake away.
Therefore, Drake had to sit opposite Sophia. But it was not bad for Drake since he could watch her all
the time. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Bard couldn't stand it. "Drake Riley, if you don't want to disgust us, you'd better eat and stop watching."
"You should get used to it. I'll often watch Sophia this way in the future."
Drake's glib tongue gave others goosebumps.
"Sophia, we should have kicked this guy out, but you stopped us."
"Enough. Let's eat."
Chloe approached Bard and whispered, "Have you noticed Sophia has gradually accepted Drake?"
Her words shocked him.
'How could it be possible?'
However, after he recalled, he had to admit Chloe's words made sense.
Bard glanced at Sophia quietly.
During dinner, Drake realized they were not as talkative as usual. However, it was the first time he had
dined with them together. He believed it would get better in the future.
After dinner, when they were about to leave, Sophia's brothers noticed Drake was still following them.
Bard looked back and asked, "You've finished dinner with us. What else do you want? Follow us to go
home?"
"Bingo!"
Bard looked at him helplessly. "Why do you want to follow us home? Let us beat you up?"
"I've lost everything and have nowhere to do. I cannot do anything except being with Sophia."
Edwin didn't buy it. "Stop bullshiting! Although you're not the president of the Riley Group now, you'll
become the head of your family sooner or later. Besides, you have many properties, don't you? You
can stay in the house where you let my parents stay last time, can't you?"
"Does it mean you all have faith in me, my dear brothers-in-law?"
The Lawson brothers looked at him, unable to retort.
Drake understood their meaning but pretended to be dumb and misled the conversation.
"By the way, about that house, I've transferred it to you, Sophia. You don't need to go through the
paperwork. In the future, when Dad and Mom come to Sealand, they can stay in that house."
Bard was annoyed. "Stop calling our parents Dad and Mom."
"Right. Right. I'll also treat you three as my biological older brothers."
Chloe shook her head, feeling amazed. "Holy shit! Drake, spare me the glib tongue. It's so disgusting."
"Sophia, you cannot be convinced by his sweet talk."
"Let's go."
Sophia ignored Drake completely.
Chloe and Helena bid her farewell. However, Drake still followed her.
Bard was the most talkative among the three. He said in a helpless tone, "Enough. Stop following us.
We'll never let you stay in Sophia's house."
They stayed in another house next door instead of moving into Sophia's home. Of course, they
wouldn't let Drake have the chance.
"Sophia, do you have the heart to let me sleep on the street?" Drake pretended to be pitiful, looking at
her with puppy eyes.
The Lawson brothers waited for Sophia to answer.
"You can go to Ms. Glass' place. Stop following us."
"OK," Drake agreed, sniffing his nose pitifully.
Sophia almost fell into his trap.
She repeatedly reminded herself not to be deceived by him as he was performing. He deliberately did
so to soften her heart, but she wouldn't give him such a chance.
When Drake returned to Emma's villa, Emma was taken aback. "Didn't you tell me you'd try your best
to move into Sophia's house? Why are you back?"
"Mom, don't forget she has three brothers."
That made sense.
"I want to send her brothers away."
Aria gaped at him and believed he could definitely do as he said.
However, she recalled something. "Drake, if you cannot stay in Sophia's house, I can ask her to come
over. What do you think?"
Emma took the tumble. "Right. We can let Sophia stay here to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
After she marries you, she'll stay with us."
Drake had to admit it was a brilliant idea.
He had never expected to rely on Aria's help one day. "I'll let you handle it then."
"No problem, Drake."
Since Aria moved into Emma's villa, she learned the difference between right and wrong and saw
through her toxic friends. Therefore, Drake treated her better.
When Sophia entered her office the following morning, she received two bouquets.
Chloe teased her. "Sophia, you are indeed lucky. Bailey hadn't sent me a single flower yet."
Sophia asked, "Are you reminding me to tell Bailey to send you flowers?"
"No! If he wants to send me flowers, he will do it without your reminder."
However, Chloe looked disappointed.
"Who sent them to you? I heard they were from Mr. Riley?"
Sophia checked the cards. Sure enough, one was from Drake Riley, and the other from Roman Riley.
She was annoyed.
"Toss them away." She passed Roman's bouquet to Chloe.
"What a waste! Can I spare them for the female employees?"
Sophia agreed, "Sure."
Right after Chloe left, Sophia's phone rang. Although it wasn't saved on her contact list, Sophia
recognized the caller with a single glimpse.
She swiped to answer.
"Have you received my bouquet, Miss Lawson?"
"Yep. The flowers are lucky today to not be thrown into the trash bin."
Roman answered complacently, "I knew you'd like my flowers."
"I'm afraid you misunderstand it. My assistant has given them out to my employees. After all, the
flowers are innocent."
Roman was rendered wordless, feeling irritated.
However, he had enough patience. After all, he had been determined to gain Sophia's heart.
"I don't mind you refusing my flowers. May I have the honor to have lunch with you today?"
