Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride
Chapter 1199 - 1194: Hello, I Am Evander’s Mother
These past few days, Hannah hasn’t visited Sophie again. With Harry keeping an eye on things, she only needs to focus on her own lifelong matters.
Hannah is a meticulous woman. Regarding Sophie’s actions, she hasn’t disclosed anything to anyone apart from Harry, not even her own mother.
She understands that the more people know about this, the more dangerous it becomes. The less people know, the less likely it is to be exposed.
Nicholas is having a grand wedding, yet his three brothers didn’t attend, they rushed to Banyan City to help him "steal the wedding."
Over in Banyan City, seeing Titus Zane’s grandfather so opposed to her being with Nathan Moore, Sophia complains angrily, lamenting how old-fashioned it is to enforce arranged marriages in this day and age!
Evander didn’t say much, he just glanced at her placidly. Actually, his mother is also against their relationship; after New Year’s, she had called with a firm attitude, demanding they break up.
Among the four brothers, only Felix Shaw’s life is currently happy; the other three seem cursed, each facing their own "trials."
In T City, Sophia’s mother, Juliana Lancaster, is sitting on a small stool in the living room, selecting vegetables while watching TV. Since her daughter has such a good boyfriend, her mood has lifted considerably.
As she’s about to take the washed greens into the kitchen, the doorbell rings suddenly.
Juliana, carrying the bowl, approaches the door, ready to open it. Seeing the elegant woman standing before it, she furrows her brows and asks puzzledly, "May I ask who you are?"
The woman curved her lips gently and politely asked, "Is this Hannah Hargrave’s home?"
"Yes, and who might you be?" Juliana nodded instinctively, unable to place such a dignified woman as an acquaintance of her daughter. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Hello, I’m Evander’s mother. I heard from him that the two of them are dating," Violet Zimmerman said politely, accustomed to being superior, even though she presented herself warmly. Face to face with Hannah’s mother, an inherent arrogance was hard to conceal.
"Oh, you’re Evander’s mother, please come in and have a seat!" Hearing that she was Evander Lancaster’s mother, Juliana immediately smiled, stepped back, and enthusiastically welcomed Violet in.
In Banyan City, Felix Shaw arranged a flight to bring Nathan Moore back to T City, settling him into Evander’s hospital.
Since returning from Banyan City, Evander noticed Sophia’s attitude toward him had significantly changed.
That very night she called him and said, "Let’s end this. Don’t bother me anymore!"
At the time, Evander was busy discussing Nathan Moore’s treatment plan with the doctors, so he didn’t dwell on it. The next day, when he went to pick Sophia up from work, the first thing she said to him, with a cold expression, was, "Didn’t we agree to break up? Why are you still here pestering me?"
Evander thought that maybe he had neglected her by spending those days in Banyan City taking care of Nathan Moore, prompting her to act spoiled. He immediately grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms, lowered his head, and said with gritted teeth, looking at her indifferent face, "Spicy girl, a few days without discipline and you’re getting feisty, aren’t you!"
"Let go of me!"
Feeling annoyed, Sophia scolded in a low voice. With it being after work and right in front of the company, their dispute drew attention from many colleagues, which made her even angrier. Struggling, she snapped, "Evander! Can’t you understand human language? I told you to let go, we’re broken up!"
Seeing Sophia so enraged, Evander realized she wasn’t just throwing a tantrum. However, breaking up wasn’t solely her decision; he was part of this too.
