The Adopted Heir Chapter 80
Sophia lay down quietly on the king-sized bed in one of the many rooms in Jayden's house. It's been over two hours since they got here and Alex hasn't even beeped her to say sorry for what he did. Maybe if he said sorry she would consider going back home cos she misses her bed at the Columbus estate."Um… Sophia, don't get me wrong but you look like a rejected bride right now. Did anyone break your heart?" Cynthia asked. She just got out of the bathroom where she went to have a shower. And she saw Sophia looking so miserable lying like that on the bed. She lay on her side curving herself into a ball.Sophia shrugged as best as the position she was in let her. She wasn't in the mood to talk about her emotions which are all over the place. She just wanted to sleep and wake up and all the pain in her chest would have disappeared by that time."Just leave me alone Cynthia," Sophia whined. She picked up one of the pillows on the bed and covered her face.Cynthia immediately snatched it awa

For a while, no one made a sound. Alex had to summon the courage to look up and know what was up– why everyone was just so unusually quiet. He saw the shocked expressions on their faces, he almost started regretting why he said what he said because it looked like he had done something wrong."Um… I will just leave." Alex said sheepishly. He turned his back to walk out of the door and then Sophia's voice made him halt instantly."Are you just going to run? Don't you want to hear my response? Or did you not mean what you said?" Sophia threw a series of questions his way. She knew that he was a little bit uncomfortable from the extra eyes on them, but she was determined to make him come out of his shell. According to her, if he can't at least profess his feelings in front of their friends, how was he going to be able to do that in front of other people?"I meant every word I said. I'm sorry that it took the presence of an admirer for me to come to my senses. You guys kept asking me what

Alex and the others made their way to the parking lot. Cynthia and Jayden decided to see the two lovebirds off. Cynthia decided to sleep over for tonight and go home the next day since it was already late."Um… when do we start with the one-week punishment?" Sophia asked suddenly to the detriment of the losers in the group."I thought that was by the way now. I didn't know that you still had it in mind." Alex replied, scratching his head and smiling sheepishly.Sophia snorted out a laugh, "You wish! Please can we discuss when we are starting and when it is going to end?" Sophia kept her focus on Jayden because he was the only one who won the competition with her.Jayden seems to be thinking of a way to solve the problem, "Um… I suggest that we just give them a day off tomorrow. They will then have to start with their punishment beginning the day after tomorrow being Monday. I'm doing this for the new couple– I just wanted you both to enjoy yourselves tomorrow before the serving duty s

Sophia and Alex were on their way home. There was a comfortable and serene silence between them. Sophia was busy humming and bobbing her head to the sweet melody coming from the radio. Suddenly, just like a flash, she remembered something and decided to ask Alex about it."I've been meaning to ask, why the sudden change of mind? Why do all of a sudden you no longer see me as just a friend?" Sophia inquired.Alex sighed. He kept his focus on the road to avoid any unwanted incidents. "Someone made me see stuff from a different perspective." He answered vaguely.”Mr. Alexander Sterling, this is not the time to be ambiguous with your words. For a relationship to work out, the two people involved should be as open as ever." Sophia admonished."I know, but I'm driving right now. We will have to postpone it till we get home cos I might lose concentration if I start narrating the whole story now." Alex explained."Oh… I thought you didn't want to talk about it. That's fine, we will talk about

A BRIEF RECAP*"How was Kelvin Grammer able to get your undivided attention? I've been meaning to know how he was able to pull that off cos the Sophia that I know doesn't get herself associated with just any guy. What was just so special about him to have caught your fancy?"*Sophia kept replaying the question Alex asked her a few seconds ago in her head. She couldn't bring herself to break his heart this beautiful night so she did the only thing she could think of. "Ouch…" She groaned in pain. This alerted Alex who held her face immediately to ascertain what exactly was wrong with her."What's wrong Sophia?" Alex asked in a concerned voice. His face was etched with worry."Um… I'm having cramps. I think that I should just retire to bed now, we can always do this some other time. I'm so sorry for cutting such a beautiful night short." Sophia winced for more effect. This made Alex carry her in a bridal style even though Sophia told him that she could walk, he remained adamant about car

The next morning, Alex went into Sophia's room to discover that she was already out of bed. He knocked on her bathroom door hoping she was there but there was no response. He was confused as to where she could be this early in the morning. He made his way downstairs hoping to find her or at least get a piece of information about her.When he got downstairs, he perceived an enticing aroma from the kitchen. At the back of his mind, he thought that his chef, Anastacia, was already making breakfast. He entered the kitchen so as to inquire about Sophia. He was shocked to see that it was the person he had been looking for for the past few minutes."Good morning Alex. How was your night?" Sophia asked cheerfully, still steering the food she put on the fire.Alex was too dumbfounded to say something. He thought maybe he was hallucinating or something because this couldn't be the same Sophia that was crying just a few hours ago because of stomach pain."Why do you look like you've seen a ghost
The Adopted Heir Chapter 86
At exactly half past 6 pm, Sophia was already on her way to meet up with Alex. He had left the house for over 3 hours now and she had no idea where he went. Well, she was on her way to go and meet him.Sophia was dressed in an elegant burgundy long dress with a high knee slit by the side. Her back was bare but the front was a turtleneck. She went shopping for a dress and she immediately fell in love with it at first sight. She knows that Alex would definitely love it when he sees it on her.About 20 minutes later, Mike stopped the car in front of Golden Spade Restaurant. Sophia alighted from the car and made her way into the restaurant. At the door, a young guy who looked to be in his early twenties ushered her in. He helped her carry her designer handbag. When they stepped into the room, Sophia noticed that the whole restaurant was empty which could only mean one thing– Alex paid for the whole restaurant for the night. She swooned inside of her cos of Alex's doings.It did not take

Throughout the ride home the couple didn't utter a word to each other. While Alex was busy looking outside the rolled-down window and tapping his knees in agitation, Sophia was busy fidgeting and looking at him with worry evident on her features.Sophia fished out her phone from her handbag and started texting Jayden. After all, they wanted to know how her dinner date went.'Jay, I think I may have lost Alex.' Sophia sent it to Jayden.Within a few seconds, her phone chimed signaling a new message.'What do you mean by that? Everyone is swooning over the internet about the romantic way he asked you out. Or wait… are you trying to pull my legs?'Sophia snorted silently at the text message.'Everything was going alright up until we bumped into Kelvin freaking Grammer and the fool had to leak the secret. I thought you said he was a professional?' Sophia could feel her hands curling into a fist because of how angry she was.'Oh shit! That doesn't sound good at all. Just try your best to d
