Revenge On My First Love -
Chapter 264 I Stand a Chance Since You Are Not Married Yet
Sophia asked, "Is it Mayor Owen's birthday party?"
"Yes, did they invite you too?"
"Yes!"
"So, let's go together!"
"Alright!"
When Sophia returned to the company, Chloe came over with a big box and said with a smile, "Oh dear, I am so envious of you! We're both going to the party. Drake prepared you a dress, but Bailey did nothing."
"It's not a good thing to receive an evening dress. Bailey didn't send you a dress because he believes in your taste. You look gorgeous in any dress. He won't give you advice on this. But I'm different. Drake sent me a dress because he wanted to tell me that I could only wear this type of dress."
Chloe pursed her lips. "You're thinking too much, aren't you?"
"Don't you know what type of person Drake is?"
"That's because you are too beautiful. He doesn't want others to see your beauty!"
"Then why doesn't he just keep me at home?"
Chloe suddenly didn't know what to say.
People had different thoughts and principles.
Drake was the jealous type and Chloe didn't doubt Drake would keep Sophia at home if he could.
Chloe opened the box and took out the dress inside. "It's a nice dress! You made such a big fuss over it." "Just look at it. If I don't have to expose my neck and shoulders, he would have sealed those parts too." Chloe burst out laughing. "Drake is so possessive!"
That was true.
But luckily, he had changed. He wouldn't force her to do things like he used to do.
Someone outside shouted, "Ms. Thomas. Here is a package for you!"
"Package?" Chloe was surprised, "Is Bailey suddenly enlightened and realized that he should prepare me a dress?" Then, she ran out.
Sophia shook her head helplessly.
In the evening, Sophia put on the shoes and dress prepared by Drake and walked out of the company.
Drake had been waiting there in his car. When he saw her, he reached out and held her in his arms.
"You are so beautiful! I wish I don't have to take you there so that you won't be coveted by any other man."
"I almost believe you." Sophia smiled lightly.
"Do you think I'm lying?"
"Who knows?"
Drake put her hand on his chest. "Can you feel it?"
His heart was beating vigorously.
Sophia blushed.
Her cheeks looked like fresh peaches. Drake wanted to take her immediately.
"Honey, you're so charming!"
He must control himself no matter how hard it was.
The party was going to start very soon.
Although Drake controlled the economic lifeline of Sealand, he didn't want to act like he was privileged.
In the car, he warned her, "Stay with me closely. Don't go anywhere."
"Alright!"
It was the first time that they had attended such an occasion together after they got back together.
Drake wanted to make their relationship public with this chance.
When they arrived. Drake led Sophia upstairs. Yet unexpectedly, in the elevator, they came across Roman and Olivia.
Roman was stunned by Sophia's beauty. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
Drake was taller than Roman, and plus he had a strong aura, the entire elevator was shrouded in tensions.
"Roman, don't you want your eyes anymore?"
Olivia said, "Drake, how can you talk to Roman like this? He is your brother!"
"Half-brother." Drake corrected Olivia.
Olivia was speechless.
Roman asked Sophia sadly, "Sophia, do you hate me so much? I spent the whole day waiting for you in the amusement park."
If Olivia didn't force him to attend the party tonight, he would still be there.
He believed that his sincerity would move Sophia. And he didn't mind waiting until the next day.
Olivia was pissed off by Roman. What he said on such an occasion was just so stupid!
"It seems that you don't want your legs either," Drake said without even looking at him.
"Drake, don't think you can threaten me. I have the chance to get Sophia as long as she doesn't marry you."
Sophia was speechless upon hearing what Roman said. She got a feeling that Drake would force her to marry him. Her feeling was right.
"When are we going to get the marriage certificates?"
Sophia could sense that Roman was eager to hear her turn Drake down.
Yet she was clear about what the consequence would be if she rejected Drake.
Luckily, at this point, the elevator door opened. Sophia walked out.
Roman walked beside Drake, "Drake, I can see Sophia doesn't really want to marry you now, so I still have a chance!"
Drake glanced at him. "Who do you think you are?"
Then he strode away.
Drake grabbed Sophia and whispered, "Why didn't you say yes?"
"Because I know that if I did, you would actually take me to the city hall right away."
"So, you have another choice?"
Sophia looked at him helplessly. "We've agreed that we'll talk about it after all your family matter are settled, haven't we? Can you not force me?"
Drake was irritated by Roman, his brother, who wanted to steal his girlfriend when he had got several love rivals outside the family.
When Drake and Sophia appeared at the same time, they attracted a lot of attention.
People had been gossiping about them. Everyone knew how much Drake loved Sophia, but they had never been together.
And now, they finally were.
Mayor Owen smiled at them, "Mr. Riley, Miss Lawson!"
"Happy birthday, Mayor Owen!" Sophia spoke first.
"Thank you!"
What made Mayor Owen delighted the most was that Sophia was from Pinkerton and she was an excellent entrepreneur. If she could stay in Sealand for Drake, it would have a good influence on Sealand. "Drake, you've been here before. So, take Miss Lawson for a walk, and show her around. Sophia, just feel at home."
"All right!"
Sophia had a smile on her face.
Mayor Owen talked to them for a while. Chloe came and Drake was surrounded by people that wanted to greet him. So, Sophia wanted to walk to Chloe, but Drake grabbed her arm.
"I told you that you must stay close to me."
