The Adopted Heir Chapter 62
Sophia was still catching up with Alex when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID to find out that it was Jayden who was calling her. She knows that it's because of the text message she sent to him a few minutes ago.Sophia sent that message because Alex does romantic stuff and says that it's what he would normally do for a friend, so she has to go ahead with the plan to know if he's actually being truthful that he doesn't see her in a romantic way."Um…I really enjoyed my time with you tonight. I'm happy that we got to talk. And I'm also happy that we have squashed our little beef. Now, I have to retire to bed." Sophia said, still looking at her vibrating phone. She wanted to leave the dining room immediately and answer the call."Are we back to hiding stuff from each other?" Alex asked out of the blue. He was sipping his black coffee because it helps him stay up at night and get some work done."I don't understand–what do you mean?" Sophia asked in a confused tone. She didn't
The Adopted Heir Chapter 63
Alex sat down for quite some time absorbing the shock of the revelation that he just discovered. He doesn't even know how to feel about the whole thing. "I guess that I should be happy for her." He voiced out his thoughts. But why does it seem like he is truly not happy about this revelation? His thoughts were just messed up, he is trying so hard to forget about the whole admirer shit but it seems to be the only thing he can think of.Just so that he would not run mad with overthinking, he stood up and made his way to the back of the house. He was going to the staff quarters to see how his latest servants were holding up. He didn't check on them when he got back because his thought was occupied by Sophia's debt and how to be of help to her.Alex got to the staff quarters to meet the four criminals outside. They are eating and casually chatting. He couldn't make out what they were saying until he got closer."I don't think I can survive a long time in this place. What's the difference
The Adopted Heir Chapter 64
Alex was already having breakfast the next day when Sophia hastily made her way to the door without noticing Alex's presence. She was almost at the door when Alex's voice stopped her."Hey you, where are you rushing off to this early?" Alex asked puzzled.Sophia immediately stopped and turned to meet eyes with Alex who was already looking at her. Wow, she wondered how she didn't notice him in the first place.She swiftly walked over to him and hugged him from the back, "Good morning bestie. I'm sorry that I didn't notice you. I was just in a hurry to leave. I have to be somewhere in the next few minutes." Sophia apologized.Alex tugged at her hands making her stand in front of him. He gave her a once over just to discover that she was looking exceptionally beautiful today. She made a lot of conscious attempts on her look today."You look extremely stunning today. Don't get me wrong, you always look beautiful but I can't help but notice that there is a lot of effort being put into your
The Adopted Heir Chapter 65
Sophia was shocked. She didn't expect to be going out with her so-called boyfriend this soon. She thought that it was going to kick off in three weeks' time because that's when Alex's birthday would take place. What was she supposed to be doing with the guy from now up until three weeks' time?"This is going way too fast. I thought that the main scheme would start three weeks from now. Why all this rush?" Sophia asked, looking puzzled."The earlier, the better. If you both start early enough, then you will know each other well enough to be able to convince Alex that you've known him for some time now. Cos how will you and your supposed boyfriend know each other if you don't communicate with each other?" Jayden explained.Sophia now understands where they are coming from and where they are going. It all makes sense to her now."Do you guys know this person well enough? I want to believe that you wouldn't make me go out with a psychopath." Sophia interjected.Jayden snorted out a laugh,
The Adopted Heir Chapter 66
Alex is very worried about his best friend. Ever since the news of this new admirer, Sophia's behavior has totally changed towards him. She no longer calls to check on him during working hours. She doesn't pick up his calls immediately he calls and she doesn't return them either. He was truly concerned and totally worried that he would lose his only best friend to a stranger.He has been restlessly sitting in the sitting room waiting for Sophia to walk through that door. It is 10 pm already and She is nowhere to be seen and she isn't even picking up her calls or replying to his text messages.He called Jayden about an hour ago and he said the same thing– that Sophia was ignoring his calls too. Alex still couldn't rest even after Jayden told him that Sophia was with her new love interest and that she was in safe hands. Alex doesn't like this new development at all. In his opinion, This dude she is now going out with has changed her behavior drastically. Normally, Sophia wouldn't be out
The Adopted Heir Chapter 67
Sophia turned around slowly cos the voice she heard came from behind her. After she turned, she beheld the angry face of Alex. His eyes were burning into her soul which made Sophia wonder if this was truly about her coming home late or was it because she was with a man. "I'm so sorry for getting you worried, that was never my intention. I was just having fun to the extent that I lost track of time." Sophia apologized, making a cute puppy face."Hmph…" Alex shook his head in disbelief. That face won't make this go away in a blink of an eye. "I can't believe that that's the best explanation you could come up with right now. Which responsible guy allows a woman to stay out this late? I think that you should cut off anything you have going on with him." Alex fired, still very pissed at the whole situation. He was at least a little bit relieved that she was back home now safe and well.Sophia arched an eyebrow. She seemed to be finding it hard to comprehend what Alex was vomiting from his

Sophia sat on her bed pouting. She was so pissed right now. "Like– how could he?" She asked herself for the umpteenth time. Just before she could stand up and go to the bathroom, her phone started vibrating. She looked at it to see that it was already 11: 45 pm and that it was Jayden who was calling her.Sophia picked up her phone, "Yeah, why aren't you sleeping?" Sophia asked immediately in a clipped tone. She wasn't in the mood to exchange words with another person tonight.Jayden didn't need any soothsayer to tell him that the fight went bad. "I just wanted to check up on you. Have you trashed your differences with Alex? Are you both cool with each other now?" Jayden asked even when he already had an inkling what the answer would be."Well, I should really thank you for bringing me back to this hellhole to come and receive the greatest insults of my life. Alex is just so mean. I don't even want to see him right now." Sophia said, confirming Jayden's suspicions."What happened exact

"The rules of the game are that youhave the option of drinking when you don't feel like answering a particular question or when you don't want to do a dare. And again, it's only going to be three truths and then the others will be dares." Sophia explained already with a bottle of vodka and two glasses for shots."Wow, I've never played such a game before. Please try to be a little bit nice to me." Alex pleaded with an amused smile on his face."I'm very sorry buddy, but that won't be happening. I know that you won't be nice to me either, so why should I go easy on you?" Sophia clapped back.Alex looked to be a little bit nervous but ready. To him, this game feels like a trap set to catch him. As far as it was Sophia, he didn't mind at all. "Okay, let's begin," Alex said.Sophia clapped her hands enthusiastically, "I will go first. Truth or dare." Sophia asked Alex."Um…I think that I will go with the truth." He answered after thinking for a few seconds."Urgh… You are boring." Sophia
