Chapter 228 Are We in a Love Relationship?
"So, you mean, you deserve me?"
"Of course," Abby said with a confident smile. Then, she approached Drake and wanted to hug him. "I
have been focusing on my career over the years, and I haven't been in a relationship. I am still a virgin.
Mr. Riley, I'm sure you can see that I am right for you." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Drake thought and said, "Seems you're a good choice to me."
Abby was excited. Did it mean she stood a chance?
"But you should ask her if she permits us."
Her?
Abby turned her head and saw Sophia.
Sophia walked over.
Different from Cecelia and Emilia, Abby was a tough woman. From what Sophia had just heard, she
knew that Abby was a tricky rival in love.
"Ms. Lawson, it's good that you are here, there are some words I want to say to you."
Sophia looked aloof. "I don't think I want to talk to you."
"Ms. Lawson, is it because you are afraid Mr. Riley might not be your backup anymore after we talk?"
Sophia arched her eyebrows, "Are you saying Drake is a backup?"
"Yes, I meant what I said and I'm not afraid to say it. Ms. Lawson, with your conditions, there must be a
lot of men pursuing you. Mr. Riley is your first love and he has confessed his love to you publicly but
you have yet to give any response. To put it bluntly, you only see him as a backup, don't you?"
Sophia indeed had not thought about it this way before, but after being reminded by Abby, she began
to think about it seriously.
"I can see that you don't like Mr. Riley so much. I think Mr. Riley is excellent. Men like him should not
be hurt by women like you. If you are kind enough, set him free and let him find the right woman for
him."
Upon hearing this, Sophia smiled. "The right woman for him? Ms. Pearce, do you mean that Mr. Riley
is a confused man who doesn't know what he wants?"
Drake almost laughed out.
Although Abby was eloquent, Sophia didn't seem to be losing. She was still as hard-hitting as before.
Abby suddenly looked embarrassed and got discouraged.
"Ms. Pearce, I admit that you are right, but you shouldn't impose your own judgment on Mr. Riley."
"I believe that Mr. Riley has his own way of judging things, do you agree?"
Sophia looked even more confident than Abby just now. The confidence she exuded was charming.
Drake couldn't stop loving Sophia.
"Of course, if you want to pursue Drake, just do it. Ms. Pearce, we can have a fair competition."
"A fair competition?" Abby suddenly frowned. "You mean..."
Drake came over and held Sophia in his arms. "As you can see, we are now together."
After that, Drake looked at Sophia with affection in his eyes.
Abby was dumbfounded and stared at them. She now felt like a clown who had been entertaining the
two of them.
"I have to go to the ladies' room." Sophia tried to push him away.
"Well, I'll wait for you here." Drake's voice was gentle.
Abby returned to the private room. Even she herself didn't notice how absent-minded she appeared to
be.
Mr. Berry said with a smile, "Ms. Pearce..."
Just then, Abby drank up the alcohol in her glass.
"Ms. Pearce, are you okay?"
Before everyone else could figure out what had happened, she picked up the bottle, filled her glass and
kept drinking.
Everyone else was confused. It had only been a few minutes since Abby left the room just now. What
happened to her?
Sophia and Drake also saw it when they came back.
Abby looked at the two and drank several more glasses of alcohol.
Perhaps because she just drank too much, she looked at Drake and Sophia and said, "Mr. Riley, even
if you two are together now, I will not give up on you. It is the first time I have ever liked a man so much.
I had wanted to confess my feelings to you here tonight, but unfortunately, I found that you are with
someone already. But it doesn't matter. A fair competition, right? I won't back off!"
Everyone else looked at Drake and Sophia. Did Abby say that they were together now?
However, the two did not seem to want to explain. Drake said, "You don't have to waste your time on
me. From the moment I met Sophia, I did not intend to be with any other woman. But Ms. Pearce,
thank you for your appreciation."
Being rejected in front of so many people, even a tough woman as Abby couldn't help feeling sad.
"Are you sure?"
Abby sobbed and asked.
"I'm sure."
Noticing the awkward situation, Mr. Berry hurriedly said, "Alright, now let's eat!"
Sophia and Drake sat down and stopped talking about it.
However, Drake seemed to be worried that Sophia wasn't full and kept picking up food for her.
"Eat more. You are too thin!"
It was a blatant PDA.
Mr. Berry smiled. "Mr. Riley, Ms. Lawson, we'd like to hear it if you are getting married someday."
"We will inform you by then."
After dinner, Abby got drunk and Mr. Berry called someone to pick her up. Sophia went back with
Drake.
Drake looked at her in surprise. "I thought you would deny our relationship in front of others."
Sophia arched her eyebrows. "What relationship are we in?"
"A love relationship!"
"Is it?" Sophia asked.
Drake glanced at her. "Isn't it?"
"All right, if you say so." Sophia leaned against the back and closed her eyes.
Drake was confused. What did she mean? Did she deny it or did she acquiesce in it? They were
already living together. Had she not considered herself as his girlfriend?
After arriving home, Sophia felt a little tired and went to take a bath. When she came out, she met
Drake's eyes filled with confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"What relationship are we in?"
Sophia was surprised. Was he still bothering by that?
"Sophia, I want to know. What am I to you?"
