Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1007 - 1003: Actually Going on a Blind Date

"Don’t worry. Just focus on getting better, and at the end of the month, I’ll take you with me to attend."

"Really? Did Uncle Felix invite me?" Sophie Foster asked with bright eyes, feeling like an orphan since her mother’s passing, without family, friends, or attending celebrations.

"Yes, Uncle Felix specifically instructed me to bring you along."

Looking ahead, Sophie Foster smiled happily, thinking that she must dress beautifully that day, not to embarrass Uncle Nicholas. Uncle Felix’s wedding would surely invite half of T City’s elite society...

As she pondered, Sophie Foster’s smile gradually froze.

Since half the elite society would be invited, then... that person would definitely be invited too. Licking her lips, Sophie said with slight disdain, "I’d rather not go."

"Why not?"

"I hate crowded places!"

Nicholas Croft...

Holding Sophie’s chin, he laughed helplessly, "Little one, aren’t you the one who loves excitement the most?"

"Not at all," Sophie brushed Nicholas’s long fingers away. "Uncle Felix’s wedding will surely invite many people. Lara despises their pretentious faces. It’d be better to lie in bed and rest than to engage in fake pleasantries with them."

"Alright, then Lara will stay home and rest." Nicholas pecked Sophie’s lips affectionately. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Time passed quickly. On the night of Felix Shaw’s wedding, Nicholas Croft arranged a dinner party to celebrate his brother finally settling down, taking Sophie Foster with him.

At the time, Sophie was beyond excited. After her surgery, she felt like a caged bird. Nicholas wouldn’t allow her to perform at nightclubs anymore, nor shop, saying she needed to regain her strength.

Today, she could finally leave the house and even drink. She shared a slew of reminders, still envious of Mia Foster on the way back in the car.

"Uncle, do women become prettier after getting married? Mia seems even prettier than before."

"Does Lara also want to get married?" Leaning in the backseat, Nicholas wrapped an arm around Sophie’s waist, holding her hand absentmindedly, his drunken eyes were mesmerizing.

Glancing at Nicholas, Sophie retorted, "Does Uncle want to?"

Nicholas sighed, gazing forward, suppressing his desire to dote on the little one due to the driver’s presence. He seriously replied, "Uncle very much wants to marry Lara immediately, but Lara is too young. So Uncle has to wait a few more years for Lara to grow up."

Sophie Foster...

Biting her lower lip joyfully, gazing at the deeply affectionate and serious man, she leaned over to give a peck, "Uncle, Lara will grow up very soon!"

They met every day, so in truth... it felt no different from being married.

Sophie, with her simple thoughts, believed living together meant forever. However, one day, she secretly tailed Nicholas and discovered him going on a blind date, sparking a sense of crisis.

That day, she overheard Nicholas taking a call from a man, seemingly discussing work, so she didn’t pay much attention and continued playing games in bed. But she faintly heard Hannah Hargrave’s name, and after the call, Nicholas got up to change clothes. Sophie immediately felt a warning bell go off, abandoned the game, dropped her phone, clung to Nicholas’s arm, and pouted, "Uncle, where are you going, can Lara come with you?"

"Be good, Lara. Uncle is meeting a friend about work. You can play at home. Uncle will be back soon."
