CHAPTER 30
In the coffee shop, Sonia sat with her head bowed down.
With nothing else to do, she preoccupied herself with stirring the coffee in her cup. An awkward silence persisted.James felt a wave of disappointment in his heart. There seemed to be an invisible distance between them, like a white mist, spreading around. And it expanded slowly, making her farther and farther away from him. But the worst part was, he could do nothing to stop it.'Is it because of my wedding ceremony or perhaps it has something to do with the man who attended the engagement party with her?' His thoughts took him to dark places."How are you doing these days?" he asked, attempting to break the deafening silence."Not bad." She pursed her lips and asked, "James, are you here to invite me for the wedding?" She couldn't take it anymore and wished to know the reason behind his sudden call.He trembled violently, a touch of bitterness emerging iRelated chapters

In the afternoon, Lucy and Bob went out to see houses.In the meantime, Sonia drew up a property agreement. It said, "After the marriage, all properties under our names will remain our own, including all real estate properties. After the divorce, neither of us will be allowed to take any property in the other's name."She had thought that Daniel would pull a long face when he read the agreement, but contrary to what she had expected, he remained as calm as a lake, with zero emotions on his face.Were his face muscles stiff because of the stimulation?She was extremely worried. To be honest, the last thing she wanted was to hurt his fragile ego, but his reaction was hard to predict. When it came to money, there were a lot of couples who ended up hurting each other, so she had to prepare for the future."Daniel, I honestly don't mean anything by this. You see, there are a lot of couples who fight during their divorce ove

"No... I didn't..." Suddenly tongue-tied, Sonia desperately scrabbled for a coherent response to Daniel's loaded question, but her brain seemed to have stopped functioning at that moment."The way you looked at me revealed what you were thinking. You want me." Amusement and dark promise tinted his voice. His fingers slowly, deliberately slid down from her neck to rest on her sleep shirt placket, which was placed directly over her pounding chest. The warmth of his fingertips seemed to burn a hole in her pajamas. The heat started to burn her skin and transfer to her heart, which seemed to spontaneously combust."I'm sleepy," she announced to the room at large. All of the fight drained out of her. She could only close her eyes and feign sleep.With a mischievous smile on his lips, Daniel slowly lowered his head to kiss her lightly on the lips. With him that close, she could smell the refreshing aroma of his body wash pervading the air that she breathed.

Daniel was shocked. Now, he finally understood what the little fool was up to. Apparently, she thought that he was going to sell himself so he can buy the house, and she came to rescue him.He saw her in an entirely different light.Even though she looked delicate and weak, deep in her heart, she was actually full of courage and would dare to pierce the sky if needed."This is my aunt," explained he as he leaned to her ear, in case she was planning to say something more earth shaking."Aunt?" Sonia said, shocked. "She is your aunt?" she repeated, still unable to believe it."Yes," Daniel said with a nod.What a huge mistake she had made!Sonia was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to dig a hole and crawl inside it to hide herself. In fact, if there was a teleportation station beside her, she would definitely jump into it without hesitation and go straight to wherever it may take her and never retu

"What the hell!"Daniel cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.He was just about to hang up the phone when Sonia took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk."Dan! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"He was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."Upon hearing what he said, Sonia's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone."I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.Sonia faced away and pursed he

'Why am I thinking about him?' she admonished, but found no answer.Soon, she received a text from Daniel.She had no interest in knowing what he had to say. He was probably way too busy with his ex-girlfriend. 'Why did he even bother to text me?' She couldn't find an answer to this question. It seemed like he was adding salt to her wounds.However, the reality was completely different from her imagination.At this moment, Daniel was shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Although he couldn't see her face, he imagined her vividly, her mouth twisted into a pout.He continued to dial, but her phone was powered off."What the hell!" he screamed to the empty space.Suddenly all sorts of thoughts popped into his head. He worried if she was extremely drunk and in a helpless state.Quickly, he rushed to the bar which was located nearby. Like a maniac, he went around inquiring about her.

"That rich and nutty cup of coffee is called civet coffee. It's one of the best in the world, and is also very rare to find." Leila rolled her eyes while her lips curled with a sardonic sneer. Just now when she proceeded to order herself a cup of civet coffee, she caught a glimpse of Sonia sticking her tongue out, seemingly amazed at how much her cup of coffee had cost. Of course there was no way she could afford that.Sonia turned to Mandy with a mischievous expression on her face and placed her index finger under her chin. She said with a voice full of malice, "Mandy, aren't those the coffee beans that are fed and digested by civet cats?""Yes." Mandy nodded."They're picked from cat feces, aren't they?" she asked while pouting her lips deviously."Idiot," murmured Leila on the sideline. Even if she wanted to call her out for her ignorance, she knew such a vulgar woman such as Sonia would never understand.

"I want to eat with you." Daniel lifted the corners of his mouth elegantly and smiled at her like a moonlight breaking through the darkness. And just like that, Sonia's obscure and cold heart felt a touch of innocence and warmth."I want spicy lobster," she said as her eyes twinkled with excitement."Okay!" He nodded without hesitation."You don't even eat spicy food. Why did you reply so decisively?" She pouted and glanced at him."I want to eat with you," he said with a smile before touching her white nose. There was nothing but infinite love in his eyes.In the lobster shop...Aside from the lobster, Sonia also ordered some light food for the man who didn't like eating spicy food.The moment the dishes arrived on their table, she immediately picked up a lobster and began to enjoy it, spreading oil all around her mouth and not caring about her image as a lady. In spite of this, she looked absolutely

It was late at night. The big trees outside the window faded into dim shadows in the moonlight.Daniel had come home earlier than usual.Instead of turning on the lights, he simply stood in front of the window without saying a word.The windows were wide open. It was not only moonlight that burst into the living room, but also a chilly gust of wind."Dan, you're home," Sonia said in a low voice.He didn't respond to her words, nor did he move. It seemed as if he didn't hear her words at all. The curtains fluttered in the wind, making his tall body look like a dark silhouette.Sonia slowly approached him. It was not until she smelled a light whisky scent coming from him that she noticed the glass of whisky in his hand.'He's drinking alcohol?' She thought to herself.Thinking of how she saw Leila having dinner all alone in the restaurant in the afternoon, Sonia guesse
