Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 434 I Swore To Protect You

Chapter 434 I Swore to Protect You

Everyone nodded. Sophia was right. No matter how much they knew her, they would send invitations to

her if they were holding parties.

That was basic courtesy!

But Molly didn't invite Sophia, which meant that she was rude, or that she couldn't tolerate Sophia.

Sophia didn't need to attend the banquet today. She could even refuse to let Drake come. Yet they both

came. That was enough to display her generosity.

In comparison, Molly looked stingy.

Seeing the situation, the Old Stein admitted that Sophia was at an advantage. But Molly was young,

and at least she could learn something today.

Temporary loss was no big deal.

The Old Stein came over and said apologetically, "Mrs. Riley, it is indeed our fault not having sent the

invitation to you. We're sorry." Then he said to the servant, "Bring over the present for Mrs. Riley!"

Sophia watched them, wondering what tricks they would play.

The Old Stein took the present and put it in Sophia's hand. "This is an object used by the Queen in the

Middle Ages. It may not be worth much, but it is a way of showing our sincere apology. Please accept

it, Mrs. Riley."

The Old Stein was indeed shrewd.

His action eased up the atmosphere of the banquet hall greatly.

But Sophia didn't accept it. "Mr. Stein, this courtesy is unnecessary. I won't take your gift. No need to be

polite to me."

No one expected Sophia to reject the Old Stein. They thought that they could have a show to watch.

"Mrs. Riley, don't you like my present?"

"It's worthless. I have thrown countless of them when I was young."

Sophia meant it. Although the Stein family was influential in Sealand, compared to the Lawson family in

Pinkerton, it had a long way to go towards being as powerful and wealthy as the Lawson family.

"It's my fault. Mrs. Riley, you can choose whatever you like."

Sophia said ironically. "Mr. Stein, just save it."

The Old Stein looked at his granddaughter. "Molly, apologize to Mrs. Riley."

Molly looked at him incredulously, "Grandpa, why should I..."

Before she finished speaking, she noticed the look in the eyes of the Old Stein.

Molly wasn't happy. Today was important to her. Why should she yield to Sophia?

She wouldn't apologize, absolutely not!

Sophia smiled lightly. "Mr. Stein, since Molly doesn't want to apologize, don't force her."

"Molly!"

The Old Stein's face became serious.

Molly was upset. Her grandpa had never treated her like this. Why was he siding with Sophia now?

But she could see that if she didn't apologize today, her grandpa would be even angrier.

Molly was in a dilemma. She even hoped that Drake, who had been silent, would speak for her.

Everyone was waiting for Drake to speak. After all, the thing was related to him. People all wanted to

know what he thought.

Drake held Sophia in his arms and said, "I came here today just to tell everyone that Sophia and I are a

whole. I didn't expect that some people would not take my wife seriously."

"If you don't take my wife seriously, it means you don't take me seriously. Since the Stein family doesn't

welcome us, I don't see any reason for us to stay."

"Honey, are you tired? I'll take you back! "

Sophia had a bright smile on her face. "Okay, honey."

Drake seemed to be afraid that Sophia would get tired from walking in high heels, so he immediately

scooped her up and prepared to go outside.

Molly bit her lip tightly. If Drake left, she would become a joke. She wouldn't allow such a thing to

happen.

"Drake, don't leave!"

Drake didn't even look back.

"Drake!"

Molly hurried after her.

But Drake walked fast even though he was carrying Sophia.

Molly almost chased him to the door, but it didn't make any difference. She watched as Drake carried

Sophia into the elevator, and the elevator went down.

She was so resentful. Why? Why did Drake make her lose face for Sophia's sake?

The atmosphere couldn't be more awkward after Drake and Sophia left.

The banquet had just started. Now, how should it go on?

Drake and Sophia didn't care at all about what would happen after they left.

Outside the building, Drake was still carrying Sophia, but Sophia said, "Okay, put me down!"

"You are so thin. I feel like carrying some cotton. Why don't you eat more?"

"Am I not eating enough?"

Drake thought about it. Indeed, she ate quite a lot, but she barely gained weight. She would even lose

weight if she worked too much.

"Wait a minute, is your stomach acting up again during the two years when I'm absent?"

"No, you can rest assured about that."

Naturally, she wouldn't tell Drake that Noah had the meals delivered to her regularly because she had

been helping to fight with Noah's rivals in the Greenspan family.

"Sorry!"

His sudden apology made Sophia look at him in confusion.

"I shouldn't have brought you here today to suffer."

Drake didn't look like the decisive president when he was dealing with other people. Right now, he

looked like a kid who made a mistake.

"I insisted on going there with you. I know Molly would provoke me. But if I don't go, people might think

I'm afraid of her." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

However, he still made her suffer.

Drake held her in his arms, "I promised back then when we married, that I would protect you from any

harm, grievance, or pain. Yet I failed."

A smile appeared on Sophia's face. "But you have done a good job, and I don't feel upset today."

Drake looked at her.

At the moment when their eyes meet, something sparkling seemed to be flowing in their eyes.

Drake kissed her.

Some people who had just stepped out of the elevator saw this scene.

Everyone knew that Sophia and Drake were deeply in love. Yet no one had expected to see them

kissing there.

Marriages of the rich were normally based on interests. No couples were as romantic as them.

It made people envious.

After kissing for a long time, Drake put Sophia down and held her hand. "Let's go home!"

"OK!"
