Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 229 Let's Get the Marriage Certificate

Sophia did not speak, but looked straight at him.

"You haven't thought of seeing me as your boyfriend, have you?"

"No."

Sophia was straightforward.

Drake stood there, looking at her in disbelief. His eyes were filled with disappointment.

"You have never thought of seeing me as your boyfriend?"

"No. Boyfriend? It seems decades ago to me."

Drake suddenly felt himself a joke. He had thought that the relationship between them had changed,

but it seemed he was wrong.

"It seems that I have been misunderstanding your meaning the whole time. So, what am I to you? Are

we just friends with benefits? Underground lovers? Or... hookup buddies?"

Sophia saw all the sad emotions in Drake's eyes. Somehow, she felt great seeing him like this.

Seeing that she remained silent, Drake said with self-mockery, "Forget it. Maybe I mean nothing to you.

Alright now, I shouldn't have asked. Let's just go to bed."

When he was about to turn around, Sophia suddenly said, ""Aren't we going to get married?"

Drake was stunned.

After a long time, he slowly turned his head and looked at her with widened eyes, "What did you say

just now?"

Sophia said with a smile, "I mean, aren't we going to get married? You have said to the public that you

would marry me as long as I said yes? What? You want to go back on your word now? You don't want

to get..."

Before she finished, Drake came straight over and held her in his arms.

"Sophia, I... I didn't know you would want to marry me. You have rejected me too many times before. I

had thought this might never happen again."

Even if he was a powerful man, he couldn't help feeling helpless when facing things about Sophia.

He was afraid that the woman he liked would be the most familiar stranger to him.

He was afraid that the day they got married would never come.

He was most afraid that...

She might not be able to spend the rest of her life with him.

Sophia was enjoying being hugged by him. She did not want to think about the pros and cons anymore.

Maybe it would actually work if she gave it a shot.

Drake tried to kiss her, but Sophia subconsciously avoided his kiss. "Hey, I'm a little tired."

Drake was still excited. "Okay. We can save it for tomorrow."

Sophia knew that tomorrow Drake would definitely ask for more than just a kiss.

They slept in each other's arms tonight.

In the morning, Sophia woke up and saw Drake staring at her with his eyes, which startled her.

"What are you doing?"

"Sophia, let's go and get the marriage certificate."

Sophia was out of words.

Was he out of his mind?

"We both have our own ID cards. Anyway, we will get the marriage certificate sooner or later, why not

do it now? After I finished handling my business at hand, we can have the wedding. What do you

think?"

Sophia speechlessly looked at him. "Are you sure this is not a spur of the moment decision?"

"I am afraid that you said a spur of the moment thing yesterday. What if you suddenly want to dump

me?"

Sophia was amused. "Even after we got married, I could divorce you if I wanted."

In an instant, Drake pulled a long face. "You want to divorce me after marrying me?"

Sophia seemed to have realized that she had said something wrong.

"Sophia, I will give you the last chance to say it again. Will you divorce me after marrying me?"

"In that case, let's not get married now. I haven't thought it through."

Drake had a sullen face.

Sophia helplessly said, "Alright now. Let's not fight in the morning. I gotta get up and go to work. I have

a bidding conference, for which I have worked hard for a long time."

Drake sighed. "You should remember that I can get married to you whenever you want."

"Got it."

Drake kissed her forehead.

Sophia couldn't help smiling.

At breakfast, her brothers initiated a group FaceTime. Sophia was not surprised. She had anticipated it.

They just hadn't found a right time before.

After she joined it, Bard shouted, "Sophia, show me your room."

Sophia smiled resignedly. "I know what you want to see, you just want to see Drake, right? Fine."

She pointed the camera at Drake, who greeted them politely. "My brothers-in-law, good morning!"

He greeted them as if they were close.

Edwin sneered. "We aren't that close, okay?"

Drake didn't mind it. "I am living under the same roof with your sister. If she wanted, we could get

married at any time. Therefore, we are family-to-be."

"What if my sister ended up marrying another man?"

"That is impossible! Now everyone knows that she and I have slept together."

The Lawsons couldn't deny this.

"Drake, you are so cheeky!" Edwin said angrily.

Drake wasn't bothered at all. "Being cheeky helps me get Sophia. I think cheekiness is good."

The four brothers of Sophia were speechless.

Travis was silent for a while before he said, "If you are Sophia's final choice, there is nothing we can do

about it. But I want you to remember one thing. Don't get Sophia into your family troubles."

The word went right to the heart of the matter.

Drake became serious, "Trust me, Travis. I promise I will solve my family issues as soon as possible. I

won't let Sophia get hurt."

"I don't need you to make a promise. I want you to show me what you'll do!"

"OK!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Drake didn't think he needed to promise anything to others, but these were Sophia's beloved brothers

and most important family, he should respect them.

He looked at Charles, "Charles, do you have anything to say to me?"

"I recently developed a colorless, tasteless drug. It will kill you right after you take it."

Both Edwin and Bard appreciated Charles' wisdom after hearing his words.

Drake squinted his eyes, "Charles, rest assured. I will never let you have a chance to use it."

Then, Edwin and Bard said something to Drake.

Finally, Sophia pointed the camera at herself. "So? Are you reassured now?

"Sophia, we know that you would marry someone someday. But we couldn't help feeling sad when the

days comes. Although we have said a lot to Drake, I have something to say to you, too. If he ever

wronged you, send us an address and we will come and kick his ass for you right away."
