Chapter 42 Paying a Visit to the Father-in-Law
This man was truly inscrutable.
“That …” Sophie Sabastian finally couldn’t help but ask out, “Actually, you don’t need to wear a ring … This is easy to be misunderstood.”
If it wasn’t for this ring he was wearing, how would the general manager have let her come to talk to him.
“I don’t care.” Leonardo Cooper said lightly, “And wearing it can block out a lot of trouble.”
Don’t care? Doesn’t care about her as a person, or doesn’t care what the outside world thinks? Sophie Sabastian was momentarily confused.
But he obviously didn’t want to continue this topic, Sophie Sabastian couldn’t afford to pursue it any further.
Just the thought of arriving home soon, Sophie Sabastian felt some pressure in her heart, if the two of them went back, it would not be good to be scolded by Tristin Sabastian.
And it would be even more humiliating if she was beaten by her dad in front of Leonardo Cooper.
Sophie Sabastian immediately felt like sweating like a pig and couldn’t help but say, “That, Leonardo Cooper, we are just a fake couple. Actually, you don’t have to make a special trip back with me. I can just handle it myself!”
“Even if it’s a fake couple, externally, you’re still my woman.”
“But my father has a bad temper, I’m worried …”
After a stunt like that at the wedding, Sophie Sabastian still didn’t know what her dad was pissed off about.
“Don’t worry.” Leonardo Cooper spat out two words lightly as he drove without looking away.
“Well then, if … if my dad is going to hit you, then you hide behind me!” Sophie Sabastian thought about it before the idea came to her.
Leonardo Cooper almost lost his smile, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
Making him hide behind her, I’m afraid this method was something only Sophie Sabastian could come up with.
However, at that time inside the game, Sophie Sabastian was indeed very brave.
Just … Leonardo Cooper couldn’t help but look at the little girl next to him for two more times, not realizing that the girl at the beginning had become so big now, and … had already forgotten about him.
When he thought of the things at the beginning now, he still could not help but feel a little lost.
But at least, now the little girl is still by his side.
The Sabastian family.
After Leonardo Cooper got out of the car, he walked over and opened the trunk, lifting out the large bag of gifts inside.
Sophie Sabastian looked carefully at the front of the house and walked over to Leonardo Cooper and was taken aback to see how many gifts Leonardo Cooper had bought.
“You’re too broke to buy so many things.”
“It’s a courtesy.”
“Then let me carry some for you.”
Sophie Sabastian tried to step forward to take what he was holding, but was stopped by his gaze and stood by somewhat bemused.
At that moment, the door of The Sabastian family was suddenly opened, Sophie Sabastian immediately felt a chill on her back and almost hid in Leonardo Cooper’s arms.
Seeing this, Leonardo Cooper couldn’t help but laugh a little. This girl, just now, actually said she wanted to protect him.
“Go inside.”
Sophie Sabastian walked in, then immediately lowered her head, and was just about to speak, when a very enthusiastic voice suddenly came from over there, “Isn’t this Leonardo, Leonardo is here!”
“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Sophie and I came back to see you.”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Just come, what gifts are you buying? Come in. Look at Sophie, this girl doesn’t know any better, she doesn’t help Leonardo carry some.”
“It’s fine, I’m good enough on my own.”
The two of them, Tristin Sabastian and Sophie’s mom, greeted Leonardo Cooper warmly, Sophie Sabastian raised her head and saw the scene in front of her, she couldn’t help but be taken aback and her jaw dropped to the ground.
Tristin Sabastian said, “You said you came over and bought such expensive things, how can you make people feel good? I have specially cooked and prepared something delicious for you today.”
“Thank you.”
“What’s the point of being polite? We’ll all be family from now on anyway.”
Looking at the incomparably warm atmosphere over there, Sophie Sabastian couldn’t help but rub her eyes.
Dad … actually wasn’t angry?
And also so enthusiastic towards Leonardo Cooper, Leonardo Cooper shouldn’t have drugged the two with some kind of ecstasy, right?
“Sophie, come over and eat.” Leonardo Cooper walked towards her and naturally took her hand, looking as if he had done this maneuver many times before.
“Uh-huh.” Sophie Sabastian was in Tristin Sabastian’s way, and it wasn’t easy to draw back her hand.
His fingers were very comfortable to touch, making Sophie Sabastian feel secure inside.
Tristin Sabastian’s cooking was really good, a table full of dishes looked so luxurious that those who didn’t know would think it was made by a chef.
Sophie Sabastian was really surprised for a moment, she thought for sure she was going to eat whip tonight when she came back …
“Eat more.” A man’s low voice rang in her ears, Sophie Sabastian froze for a moment and raised her head to see Leonardo Cooper chucking a chopstick of meat over.
“I don’t eat meat, I’ll get fat.”
“A little fat looks good.” Leonardo Cooper’s tone was not to be denied.
“I’ve lost weight with great difficulty … “Sophie Sabastian skimmed her mouth.
“…” Leonardo Cooper didn’t say anything, just looked at her.
“Sophie, look how much Leonardo cares about you. You’re a little girl, so what if you gain a little weight, it’s not like Leonardo would mind.” Tristin Sabastian snapped.
Sophie Sabastian instantly dared not retort and bowed her head to eat obediently.
The man chucked several more pieces of meat into her bowl.
Sophie Sabastian almost choked.
“And ah. I’ve never wanted Sophie to be with that Wilson kid… Last time Sophie got sick, that kid didn’t even make a trip over here… too irresponsible.”
Tristin Sabastian said, “And now he’s actually screwing another woman behind Sophie’s back. I was so angry when I found out that I almost had high blood pressure, but now that I see Leonardo with you, I’m much more relieved.”
Sophie’s mom also laughed beside her and kept on giving Leonardo Cooper food: “Yes. Seeing that my daughter has a good home, my heart is also comfortable, Leonardo is a good man, you should follow Leonardo well.”
Looking at her mom giving Leonardo Cooper food, Sophie Sabastian couldn’t help but spit in her heart, “Mom and dad, your daughter is here.
Leonardo Cooper put down his chopsticks and looked at the old couple with a firm gaze, “Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely take care of Sophie.”
Mom and Dad?
Sophie Sabastian almost spewed out and couldn’t help but say, “Leonardo Cooper, this is my dad!”
“Leonardo is my son-in-law, can’t he call me dad?” Tristin Sabastian glared angrily at Sophie Sabastian, “It’s you, girl, who can’t save people a little heartache!”
“I …”
“You used to say that Wilson boy would spoil you. How about now? You just don’t take what you’re told to heart.”
“Listen to Leonardo about everything from now on, got it?”
“Got it got it.” Sophie Sabastian was full of promise, and in her heart she couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.
Before, when she was at home, Mom and Dad were spoiling her to no end, but now once Leonardo Cooper appeared, Mom and Dad’s gaze was almost always on him.
Was she going to fall out of favor?
