Sophie in the Time of Secrets Chapter 56

Caleb Zhou seemed to have not heard anything, still smiling calmly, looking rather hateful. He sat down beside Miss Sophie, and the sofa sank slightly. Amid the sound of leather, Miss Sophie leaned slightly towards him. It was hard to tell whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the two of them were sitting together, looking very intimate.

Caleb Zhou called the mother who was carrying the wine and asked someone to prepare tea. When a distinguished guest came, it was not reasonable to drink wine. The mother took the wine glass back and made two more cups of black tea, using the best tea set. Caleb Zhou handed a cup to Miss Sophie and asked her to drink it. Miss Sophie turned her face slightly and refused with a slightly gloomy look.

Caleb Zhou refused to give her an answer, and she was embarrassed. She had been flirting with Caleb Zhou for many years, and she had previously held the mentality of not wanting to be together. Caleb Zhou was very charming, but she was really afraid. She was afraid that she would fall into it and become a woman who didn't care about anything and lived only for men. Because of some of his philandering news, she was sad and cried all day long.

She knew her family background, and she probably couldn't decide her own marriage. But the Zhou family was not bad, and if Caleb Zhou was willing, they could get married. She was willing to give herself to him, but she never thought that Caleb Zhou didn't want her. When she was still in Germany, she always felt that she and Caleb Zhou were just a little bit apart, like window paper, which would break if touched a little.

When did it start to change? Maybe it was after returning home, or maybe it was after a long period of ambiguity. He finally had someone in his heart, but she was too late. Caleb Zhou put the teacup on the table. He saw Miss Sophie's hands tightly clenched together, so he reached out to touch the fingers that were twisted together and turned white, and separated them. He lowered his eyes and whispered: "Why are you pinching yourself like this? Doesn't it hurt?"
