Chapter 109
For some reason, Sophie felt a little out of breath. Fortunately, the elevator had already reached the third floor, and the door was opened quickly.
“Let’s go. Sophie said. “Go back to the room and rest for a while. Don’t overthink.” Sophie helped Roger back to the room. She did not want him to continue overthinking things.
After entering the room, Sophie looked at it, which was exactly the same as when she left. She could not help but feel a little emotional
I’ve only been away for a few days, but I actually feel nostalgic now that I’m back,” she said.
Roger lifted his eyebrows and said, “Nostalgic? How about staying in my home tonight?”
Sophie shook her head and said, “No. You only have one bed here. I don’t feel comfortable.”
Smiling gently, Roger sat on the sofa and said, “After we get married, won’t we have to sleep in the same bed?”
Sophie instantly blushed. “Who said we have to sleep in the same bed when we get married?” she said. “When the time comes, you’ll sleep on the floor!”
Although she had agreed to get married, she had not thought about changing the arrangement of sleeping in separate beds for the two of them.
She thought, “What is this guy thinking? We’ve only known each other for a short time. There’s no way we could share a
bed.‘
Looking at her blushing and shy appearance, Roger pretended to be serious and said, “Generally, married couples have to sleep in the same bed, right? We weren’t familiar with each other before, but we’ll be familiar with each other in the future. Why don’t we follow the rules?”
“Don’t even think about it!” Sophie said, refusing without hesitation. “Let me tell you. Even after the wedding. from now. I can’t accept it. You continue to sleep in the study.”
it’s no
different
With that said, she returned to the bed she was used to sleeping in, immediately claiming control over her preferred sleeping arrangements.
Roger said nothing. He was left speechless.
“So there’s basically no difference between having a wedding and not having one?” he asked, lifting his eyebrows.
Sophie thought for a moment and said, “Of course, there’s a difference. Previously, when I slept in this bed, I always felt that I was occupying your bed. But after the wedding… I’ll officially be your legitimate wife, so everything in this room is mine. I can sleep wherever I want.”
She thought, The only difference is that I felt guilty when I occupied this bed previously, but from now on, this bed is mine!‘ The young girl’s sincere expression made Roger feel a little helpless. He said, “There’s indeed a difference for you. You can

take over my bed without worry, but it doesn’t make any difference to me. I’ll still sleep in the study. How pitiful.
In the end, Roger could not help but look like an old man who had been let down, shaking his head with a sad expression.
Looking at Roger’s pitiful appearance, Sophie found it amusing
She said, “Humph. Look at how pitiful you are. Enough talk. I approve of lending you this bed temporarily while I’m away.
You have to cherish it.”
At this moment, she had already turned the tide, feeling a sense of empowerment.
“Lend it to me?” Roger said, “Sophie. You really have the audacity to say it out.”
He thought, I’m the owner of this room, and she just blatantly occupies it now?
“What’s there that can’t be said?” Sophie said. “After the marriage certificate is collected, these things are joint property between a husband and a wife.”
After saying that, Sophie opened the cabinet door smugly and took out a comfortable short–sleeved shirt. She lifted her shirt and was about to change.
Roger instantly felt uncomfortable. When he saw that she was about to lift her clothes at any moment, he immediately asked warily, “What, what are you doing?”
Sophie was stunned. She turned to look at Roger and said, “What did you say?”
She thought, ‘He shouldn’t be able to see me, right? Why would he ask that?”
When she met his eyes, she suddenly felt like she was being stared at. Instantly, she did not dare to act rashly.
Seeing her cautious gaze, he could only direct his spiritless gaze slowly and look out of the window, saying, “No. Nothing. I just heard you opening the wardrobe, so I asked you what you wanted to do.”
Sophie thought, ‘It turns out that it’s because he heard me opening the wardrobe.”
Sophie heaved a sigh of relief.
She thought, ‘Recently, I must have been too hopeful that his eyes would recover, so much so that I made mistakes in perceiving things. I keep feeling that he seems to be able to see me.
When she snapped out of her thoughts, she said, “It’s a little hot wearing a long–sleeved shirt. It happens that there are short–sleeved shirts at home, so I wanted to change into it.”
As she spoke, she had already turned around to pull down the curtain, changing her clothes behind it.
Roger knew that the curtain was not effective. Sophie was partly hidden and partly visible, making her even more alluring. He simply did not dare to look at her and could only look out of the window.
However, images of Sophie’s graceful figure actually appeared automatically in his mind. He could not help but feel a bit parched in the throat, so he could only drink water to avoid the awkward situation.
Chapter 109
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. When Sophie and Roger went downstairs and walked into the living room, they saw Evelyn and Ronald becoming very intimate with each other.
The two of them were on the balcony in the living room, sipping red wine and chatting about some trivial matters.
Most of the time, it was Ronald bragging alone. From time to time, Evelyn would act as if she was the supporting character. With a face full of admiration, she would chime in a few times, saying how impressive he was.
Ronald did not understand why Evelyn, who used to become displeased whenever he approached her, would suddenly change her attitude completely toward him.
He thought, ‘Perhaps it has something to do with her being discovered to be a fake heiress after Sophie returned home.
He had regrets about this matter before, thinking. If only I had known that, I would have married Sophie
But Evelyn was someone he pursued for many years without success. Even if she was no longer the heiress of the Dawson family, now that she had changed her attitude to express her goodwill to him, he could not help but want to regain his
sense of respect from her.
He simply liked the feeling of being admired.
Sophie looked at Evelyn’s fawning expression and could not help but feel that her horizons were broadened.
She thought, ‘In order to cozy up to him, Evelyn is even willing to throw away her dignity.”
As Sophie went downstairs, she quietly said to Roger, “You can’t see Ronald’s expression. He’s already been thoroughly captivated by Evelyn’s flattery, looking happy.”
Roger replied coldly, “Rebecca’s expression should be remarkable.”
After being reminded by Roger, Sophie realized that while the two of them were chatting on the balcony, Rebecca was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room and staring intently at them.
Although it seemed like she was also having coffee, her expression looked as if she wanted to get rid of someone.
Sophie could not help but say, “You’re right. Her expression is remarkable. Her face has turned pale due to anger.”
She thought, ‘Roger can’t see her expression. What a pity. I can only try my best to describe it to him.”
Roger said playfully, “I can imagine.”
As the two of them spoke, they approached the living room.
When Sophie saw Rebecca, she immediately greeted her, saying, “Rebecca, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?”
When Rebecca saw Sophie, she immediately restrained her expression, shook her head, and said, “Oh. It’s nothing. I’m just… just a little tired.”
On one side, she arranged for servants to cook for Sophie, and on the other side, she could not help but keep an eye on
Evelyn and Ronald.
Evelyn was not dumb. Rebecca rushed to the garden, intending to take Ronald away, but Evelyn pretended to stumble and fall, causing Ronald to hurriedly go and get a first aid kit to comfort her. After that, the two of them sat on the balcony and chatted Ronald completely ignored his mother
Rebecca had been watching from the side for an hour and was really fuming with anger
