Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 181 - 165: She Still Refuses to Come Back

"Mm, second brother knows."

"Second brother, do you think my mom gave birth to twins back then? Could it be that I have a twin sister or brother out there?"

Sophie Sutton half-jokingly said.

Silas Sutton replied, "I asked, and there are people who look alike in this world. Plus, with the dim lighting at night, Asher Thorne probably just got it wrong."

Sophie Sutton pouted, "Of course! If I had met him, how could I not remember?"

This statement made Silas Sutton even more certain.

After hanging up the phone, Sophie Sutton stood for a while and then turned to see Eric Thorne standing eerily behind her. She was startled, patting her chest, "There’s something wrong with you! Standing behind me like that and scaring me? Were you eavesdropping on my call on purpose?"

Eric Thorne pouted, "You’re overthinking it! I’m not interested in eavesdropping on others’ calls; I just got here."

Sophie Sutton gave him a suspicious look, "Hmph! You better be telling the truth!"

Eric Thorne had his hands in his pockets, "I brought you out to work, not to slack off."

Sophie Sutton retorted angrily, "Who’s slacking off? Am I not even allowed to take a call? You really are a busybody!"

Eric Thorne smugly lifted his chin, "Of course! I’m the boss, so what I say goes! There are many actresses auditioning today, and you’re in charge of shortlisting the candidates."

Sophie Sutton was taken aback, "I don’t know how to do that at all."

Eric Thorne glanced at her, "Height over 175CM, measurements 36, 66, 95..."

His sentence was cut off by Sophie Sutton’s disdain, "Geez! Is this a beauty pageant?"

Eric Thorne raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, "I’m picking models for an underwear ad; how is that different from a beauty pageant?"

Sophie Sutton was stumped; this guy! The way he says it so matter-of-factly...

He’s simply shameless!

As she was thinking this, Eric Thorne’s gaze fell on her chest...

Sophie Sutton exploded instantly, covering her chest and shouting irritably, "What are you looking at! Who gave you permission to look! I’m not here to audition as an underwear model!"

Eric Thorne lightly coughed, "Nothing much."

Sophie Sutton spat, "Not like you to look anyway!"

The end of the year was getting closer by the day. Aside from her father calling, she didn’t answer unknown numbers. Since blocking Ruth Leighton and her daughter, she generally avoided unknown calls, as they would always try to pester her.

Sometimes, she suddenly felt fortunate to be in the hospital right now, avoiding the bustling streets that she had no part in. These days, the festive spirit was everywhere, yet it had nothing to do with her.

Justin Hawthorne came in with a large bouquet of fresh flowers, including bright roses and refreshing lilies, filling the air with fragrance.

"Sister, do you like them?"

"Of course I do!"

Laura Quincy smiled as she patted his hair; with him chattering around her, the days passed easily.

Justin Hawthorne smiled brightly, "I knew you’d like them! It’s just a pity that I’m too young now. Otherwise, I’d pursue you myself and not give Daddy a chance!"

Laura Quincy: "..."

Her mind went blank; kids these days were really precocious!

Just then, Jason Hawthorne walked in, ruffling his son’s hair, "How old are you? And you already know what ’like’ is?"

Justin Hawthorne pouted, "Of course I know!"

Laura Quincy didn’t expect Jason Hawthorne to come too. With Twinkle there, it wasn’t appropriate to ask him to leave, so she had to treat him as if he were air.

Jason Hawthorne told his son, "When you grow up, you’ll meet the woman you truly like."

Justin Hawthorne tilted his little head up, "When will that be? Will she appear on her own?"

Jason Hawthorne nodded, "Yes, she will."

Laura Quincy had appeared in his life just like that, unexpectedly. Even though they had been apart for nearly six years, they met again...

The connections between people are indeed this miraculous.

As the father’s and son’s conversation drifted further, Laura Quincy couldn’t help but cough lightly, "You can go get busy! Twinkle is very safe with me."

The implication was: please leave!

Jason Hawthorne was well aware but still chose not to leave, "I don’t have much to do today. I wanted to spend more time with Twinkle."

Laura Quincy: "..."

As a father saying he wants to spend more time with his son, what could Laura Quincy say?

Justin Hawthorne then looked at his daddy, "Daddy, didn’t you come today to get stomach medicine from my godfather?"

Jason Hawthorne sat calmly on the sofa, "Your godfather hasn’t arrived yet."

Justin Hawthorne "oh"ed, but Laura Quincy’s mind was in turmoil. Was his stomach ailment still not better?

A few minutes later, she suddenly realized why she should care about him! Whether his stomach was healed or not had nothing to do with her, right?
