Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 987 - 983: He Never Brought a Woman Home
But when Hannah Hargrave’s smiling face came into view, Sophie Foster tightened her grip on the bag of chips unconsciously, causing the chips inside to rustle loudly. Glaring at the TV, she muttered through gritted teeth, "Bitch!"
Nicholas Croft, that scoundrel, of all the celebrities to walk the red carpet with, he just had to choose that bitch!
She reached into the bag of chips, grabbed a handful, and stuffed them into her mouth, angrily chewing. Watching Hannah Hargrave’s genuine smile, Sophie jumped off the sofa, rushed to the TV, turned it off, then jumped back onto the sofa, tucking her legs under her and shoving more chips into her mouth.
She had specially come to his villa to see Nicholas Croft walk the red carpet, but who would have thought she’d see such a disgusting scene? Had she known, she wouldn’t have come and would have been better off sleeping in her rented room!
Sophie kept stuffing chips into her mouth to vent her frustration, finishing a whole bag in just a few bites. Leaning forward, she grabbed another bag and ripped it open with a bang, making quite a ruckus.
Aunt Wang heard the noise from the kitchen and came out, seeing the TV had been turned off, she curiously asked, "Miss, why aren’t you watching anymore?"
"Bad luck!" Sophie said angrily and suddenly remembered something, calling out to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, has that bitch Hannah Hargrave ever been to our house?"
Aunt Wang was momentarily perplexed by Sophie’s question, wiping her hands with her apron she asked in confusion, "Who is Hannah Hargrave, sir has never brought a woman home."
"Aunt Wang, come here." Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Sophie felt a bit better, motioning for Aunt Wang to come over and patting the sofa beside her. Aunt Wang, puzzled, sat next to her and heard Sophie ask, "Aunt Wang, has Nicholas Croft really never brought a woman home?"
Aunt Wang shook her head, "No, all these years he’s only brought you home to stay."
"Aunt Wang, how many years have you taken care of Nicholas Croft?" Sophie put down her chips, tucking her legs under her like she was going to have a chat with Aunt Wang.
"Hmm... eight years. I’ve been his housekeeper since he lived in the apartment."
"Oh, so all these years Nicholas hasn’t brought any women home?" Sophie confirmed again, and Aunt Wang shook her head, "No, he’s very disciplined, I’ve never heard of him having a girlfriend..."
"Aunt Wang, Lara absolutely adores you!" Hearing Aunt Wang say this, feeling elated, Sophie hugged Aunt Wang and kissed her cheek. Her mood suddenly lifted, realizing Nicholas only brought her home.
"You silly child!"
Aunt Wang chuckled helplessly, "Lara, if there’s nothing else, I need to go make dinner. After dinner, don’t you have work to go to?"
"Mm-hmm, go on, go on, thanks for your hard work, Aunt Wang." Grabbing more chips, Sophie’s lips curled up as she snacked.
Three days later, Nicholas Croft returned from his business trip. By the time he got home, it was already evening. He didn’t let Sophie go to work, as a few days apart made their reunion feel like a honeymoon.
After dinner, Nicholas took a bottle of red wine back to the room. During the three days he was away, the little rascal sneaked some drinks and even pilfered his cigars.
Aunt Wang had reported to him that during the live broadcast, for some reason, the little rascal was furious. Later, her mood suddenly improved. After returning from work that evening, she made herself a midnight snack, drank more than half a bottle of red wine, and eventually fell asleep on the sofa.
Sophie clung to Nicholas’s back like sticky rice, letting him carry her back to the room.
