Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 979 - 975: You’re Not Uncle Chu’s Girlfriend—You’re His Little Woman

In the bathroom,

after their intimacy ended, Sophie Foster clung to Nicholas Croft’s back, asking him to carry her to the big bed. While Nicholas was leaning against the bed smoking, she snuggled into his arms proactively. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Her small face pressed against Nicholas’s chest, she looked up at him, "Uncle, is Lara considered your girlfriend?"

Nicholas exhaled the smoke with a half-smile, asking back, "What do you think?"

"Lara isn’t quite sure." Sophie’s eyes showed cunningness. Although Uncle Nicholas had introduced her to his friends, he hadn’t admitted anything yet.

"Little rascal!" Nicholas affectionately pinched Sophie’s nose, saying, "You’re not Uncle’s girlfriend; you’re Uncle’s little woman."

Seeing the pride in Sophie’s eyes, Nicholas asked, "Is this answer satisfactory?"

"But," Sophie’s eyes shifted, "aren’t girlfriends supposed to be brought home to meet the parents?"

Nicholas...

He turned his face slightly and shot Sophie a sidelong glance in a very exaggerated manner, laughing as he asked, "Little rascal, are you pushing me to take you home to meet the parents?"

"No," Sophie answered straightforwardly, her fingers unconsciously poking Nicholas’s chest, saying, "It’s just that I’m worried if someone asks where my boyfriend’s family lives, I wouldn’t know how to respond."

Nicholas knew Sophie’s thoughts well; putting the cigarette from his fingers into the ashtray, he pinched her chin, making her look straight into his eyes, "Little rascal, Uncle will take you home tomorrow, but you might be disappointed."

"Why?" Sophie asked, confused. Nicholas said, "Because Uncle’s parents don’t live in T City, so Uncle can’t take you to meet the parents for now."

"Uncle, don’t you feel lonely living alone?" Originally, she didn’t live in T City because her mother was sick, so she came to T City and later found a job here. In a strange city, she didn’t even have any friends.

Sophie was merely curious, but Nicholas misunderstood her intention, laughing as he said, "Lonely, so, will Lara move in to live with Uncle?"

"No." Sophie refused without thinking.

"Why?" Nicholas frowned. Sophie earnestly said, "Because Lara and Uncle have just started dating, if a girl moves into a guy’s home proactively, your family might look down on her."

Nicholas...

"Lara, no one will look down on you. Be good, move in and live with Uncle; don’t you want to wake up every morning and see Uncle?"

"But..." Sophie bit her lip, really wanting to be with Uncle Nicholas every day, yet, "We’ve only just met."

Nicholas lowered his handsome face, pressing his forehead against Sophie’s, helplessly saying, "Little rascal, we’ve known each other for twenty-two days, counting from the day you first forced a kiss on me."
