Chapter 1331 - 1326: Should We Go to the Hospital and Keep Tormenting That Scumbag?
Nicholas Croft was busy with his own affairs, and after returning, only gathered once with his friends before Sophie Foster disrupted it and things ended on a sour note.On the weekend, as Nicholas came down the stairs, Sophie was already in the living room watching TV.
Reclining sideways on the couch, Panda Eyes, the loyal guardian, was curled up in front of her, with Sophie resting a hand on its head, unconsciously petting it. Seeing the intimacy between the two, Nicholas really wanted to swap places with Panda Eyes at that moment.
Have it sleep in the guest room, while he nestles beside the hostess.
Nicholas descended the stairs and sat down beside Sophie, gently placing a hand on her foot and softly asking, "Sweetie, how about Dad takes you out to play after breakfast?"
"No." Sophie coldly rejected him, her gaze constantly attracted by the TV program, not even glancing in his direction.
Nicholas...
"Well then, how about Dad takes you to Uncle Mo’s place to play with Sister Li?"
Sophie suddenly turned her head, glaring at him fiercely, a phrase automatically popped into Nicholas’s mind, giving him a stern look.
At this moment, Sophie was glaring at Nicholas with this expression, although she didn’t say anything, her emotions were clearly written on her face.
Whew...
Nicholas exhaled, feeling despised like never before at thirty-something, he stood up and walked towards the dining table, raising his voice, "Aunt Wang? Is breakfast ready?"
"Oh, almost, almost, sir, please wait a bit." Aunt Wang hurried out from the kitchen, responding, then ran back in.
Since sitting in the living room also meant being ignored, Nicholas simply sat at the dining table waiting for breakfast. Feeling bored, he thought about having a cigarette to pass the time, when he reached into the pocket of his house pants, finding it empty—the cigarette case was left in the study.
He intended to go upstairs to fetch it, but after a brief thought, Nicholas smirked slightly.
He stood up again, opened the cabinet storing the wine, took out a box of cigars, and leisurely walked back to the sofa, settling into the armchair, Nicholas opened the cigar box, noticing Sophie’s gaze still fixed on the TV, he deliberately raised his voice, "Xiao Mei, go upstairs and fetch my lighter."
"Alright, on it." Xiao Mei responded, running out from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron as she asked, "Sir, what should I get?"
"The lighter, the platinum one with diamonds." Sophie once loved this lighter, even tried to secretly steal it at one point...
"Oh, I’ll get it right away." Xiao Mei cheerfully replied and swiftly went upstairs.
Nicholas initially wanted to offer Sophie a cigar, but as he held out the cigar halfway, he retracted it.
Being too forward might lead to being shunned; feigned restraint could be more enticing.
Before long, Xiao Mei came running down the stairs with the lighter, "Sir, is this the one?"
"Mm," Nicholas replied blandly, reaching out to take it, deftly flicking the lighter on to light the cigar, blowing smoke with a deliberately satisfied demeanor.
"Sss... ah... haven’t felt this way in ages,"
Sophie Foster...
Watching the TV show, her icy expression remained unmoved.
Nicholas took another puff of the cigar, seeing Sophie still ignoring him, he had to initiate goodwill, "Sweetie, it tastes great, want to try it?"
Just as Xiao Mei brought out the tray, seeing Nicholas’s actions, she nearly dropped it.
When Xiao Mei came to work at the villa, Sophie was already pregnant, so she had never seen her smoke.
At this moment, Nicholas’s actions seemed like a bad uncle enticing a teenager to do something wrong, involuntarily, a scene popped into Xiao Mei’s mind.
A man holding a lollipop, squatting in front of a girl, smiling as he asks, do you want a lollipop, little one? Uncle has plenty...
Sophie Foster coldly glared at Nicholas, "Are you out of your mind?"
Nicholas...
The feeling of passionate affection meeting a cold shoulder was truly frustrating!
"Sir, ma’am, breakfast is served." Xiao Mei set the tray and successfully dissolved Nicholas’s awkwardness.
Nicholas extinguished the cigar then got up and moved towards the dining table.
Staring at his back, watching him take a seat at the dining chair, Sophie finally stood up, Panda Eyes quickly jumped off the sofa to follow her running into the dining room.
The atmosphere at breakfast this morning felt somewhat strange, even Panda Eyes was placed on the dining table by Sophie, squatting on the chair like a human, with a plate set before it.
Nicholas sat across from Sophie, at a glance he could see the beast being meticulously cared for by his wife, Sophie would always put some of each food onto Panda Eyes’s plate before eating, and it particularly made Nicholas jealous as she kept stroking Panda Eyes’s head.
This was infuriating!
Nicholas finally couldn’t endure and erupted, "Panda Eyes! Go outside to watch the yard!"
"Whimper~" Panda Eyes protested against its male owner.
Nicholas...
His handsome face darkened slightly.
"Little beast, can’t control you anymore, can we?"
"Woof woof, whimper～" Panda Eyes turned its head, aggrievedly complaining to Sophie, who coldly glanced at Nicholas, amidst Nicholas’s grim expression, took her own bowl and Panda Eyes’s plate.
"Panda Eyes, we’re eating on the couch!"
With the hostess backing it up, before leaving Panda Eyes barked defiantly at the male owner twice, then jumped to the floor, following the hostess’s backside to the sofa area, squatting on the floor, waiting for its food.
Sigh,
Nicholas sighed distinctly, apparently the male owner’s status at home was lower than that of a dog.
But despite the sighs, he still cared about Sophie’s nutritional health, "Xiao Mei, bring those two dishes over to Miss."
After breakfast, Sophie returned to the bedroom, slamming the door in Nicholas’s face.
This time Panda Eyes was slow in response, failing to sneak into the room, thus getting shut out too, watching the beast incessantly pawing and whining at the door, Nicholas triumphantly uttered a word, "Serves you right!"
"Whimper... woof woof..." Panda Eyes lowered its paws and began barking at Nicholas.
"Little beast, bark again and I’ll slaughter you!"
Nicholas said through gritted teeth, after speaking, suddenly sensed a chilly breeze, looking up to find Sophie icily staring at him.
"I was... just kidding,"
Sophie coldly glanced at him, "Panda Eyes, come in!"
Panda Eyes whimpered at Nicholas then quickly darted inside, Nicholas intended to follow but the door shut tight once more before him.
"Sweetie open up, let me in," Nicholas patted the door panel, receiving no response from inside.
He patted again, "Sweetie, let Dad in,"
Nicholas thought Sophie wouldn’t respond again, yet as he raised his hand once more, the door had opened, Sophie’s frosty face appeared in the doorway, one hand on the doorknob, coldly asking.
"What do you want, after all?"
Nicholas pursed his lips, suddenly thought of something that might win Sophie over.
"Sweetie, would you like to continue tormenting the wicked in the hospital?"
