Drenched in Love

Chapter 114: I Want to Kill You with a Pie

Stephen's eyes sank suddenly, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.

He didn’t know it was from when he couldn’t bear seeing Sophia biting her lip. As long as she bit her

lip...

Stephen breathed slowly, trying to suppress his emotions.

A look of panic flashed in Sophia's eyes. She wanted to escape subconsciously. As soon as she

stepped out, Stephen stopped her and squeezed her between him and the table.

His breaths became rapid, and his chest rose and fell. When he inhaled, his body pressed her tighter.

When he exhaled, there was a narrow gap between them. His breaths seemed like a lover's teasing,

making Sophia bewildered.

Sophia panicked and pushed Stephen away to escape. Stephen raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

Sophia's body fell lightly into his arms that were still a bit cool.

Before Sophia could stand firmly, Stephen held her head and kissed her fiercely.

Now that he had decided to seduce her, he didn’t want to suppress his body anymore.

He was taking revenge in a new way. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

As he kissed her, Stephen told himself again and again.

The pain in her lips made Sophia sober, so she struggled with her arms hard, but still couldn't shake

Stephen off.

After a long and deep kiss, Stephen let her go.

Sophia leaned weakly on Stephen's arms and took a few breaths before she realized what was going

on. She grabbed Stephen's arms to stand up, trying to escape. However, Stephen stretched out his

hand to catch her back, and trapped her in his arms.

They were so close to each other that even their breaths entangled.

Sophia quivered her red lips and asked, "Stephen, what on earth do you want to do?"

Stephen laughed suddenly, and the arms around Sophia's waist kept tightening, pressing her body

tightly against him.

He looked at Sophia, and lowered his head slowly. The gentleness in his eyes could almost make

people drown: "You say, what am I going to do?"

When he was talking, Sophia’s sensitive ears could feel his breath, and she couldn’t help trembling.

His arms tightened and tightened, and there was almost no space between them: "I want to kill you

with a pie!"

Sophia remembered the "Pie Theory" she had told Hazel before, and Stephen had heard her at that

time.

Stephen let her go, and took a step back to get away from her. There were still charming smiles on the

corners of his mouth, and gentleness in his eyes like a lover: "How do you think?"

It was so hot that she kept the window open at night. The wind blew in from the window, blowing off the

manuscript to fall on her bare arms.

Looking at the wide-open door and the room in which she was alone, Sophia felt in a trance that winter

had come.

Sophia had a nightmare that night.

In her dream, it was five years ago, Vincent and Ella had affairs in secret, and they worried that she

would cause trouble, so they planned a car accident and sent her into jail. When she was being

tortured in prison, Vincent and Ella were lying in the bed, and talking the sweet words and life plans

that used to belong to her and Vincent.

This was not the first time she had this kind of dream, but what was different from the previous ones

was that in this dream, Vincent 's face became Stephen’s.

Waking up from the nightmare, Sophia leaned against the head of the bed, unable to calm down for a

long time.

Stephen wanted to commute with Sophia all the time, but he was the president of the Berry Group and

Sophia was an employee of the public relations department. Stephen needed to go out for meetings

and socialize from time to time, and Sophia also needed to see customers sometimes. In a word, it was

unrealistic for them to commute together frequently. So, Stephen gave Sophia another car, a black

Palamela, for commuting.

Sophia made a stir in the Berry Group when she drove the Palamela to work on the first day. It was not

because the car was expensive, but because the car belonged to Stephen!

"She admits that Mr. Berry is her sugar daddy?"

In the pantry, Natalia chatted with other colleagues maliciously: "Does she really think that Mr. Berry

likes her sincerely? Maybe she badgered for it!"

Natalia exclaimed as if she had suddenly thought of something: "Sophia didn't come to work several

days ago! She asked for a sick leave. What kind of sickness? Didn’t she go to have an abortion? She

was pregnant with Mr. Berry’s child. In order to persuade her to have an abortion, Mr. Berry promised to

give her a car! It must be like this!"

Natalia’s speculation evolved into countless versions later. The most popular one was that Sophia got

pregnant with Mr. Berry's child by dirty means, in order to coerce Mr. Berry into marrying her. Of

course, Mr. Berry would not agree, and forced her to have an abortion furiously. Sophia aborted the

child and threatened to die. She even went to find Mr. Berry's parents. In desperation, Mr. Berry gave

her his Palamela as a compensation.

When Natalia said her speculations in the afternoon, someone saw Mr. Berry's mother Grace and

Sophia sitting in a cafe, which provided strong evidence for Natalia’s speculation.

They didn’t know what happened in the cafe that afternoon was like this:

"Miss Carter, can I call you Sophia?"

Sophia was not used to other people calling her name so affectionately, but it was Grace, an elder and

the mother of her leader, she couldn't refuse her directly, so she could only smile and accept.

"Sophia, there were some conflicts between Stephen and us before, and he has always been reluctant

to go home. I hope you could persuade and ask him to go home earlier."

"..." Sophia, "Madam, you misunderstood. I am just an employee of the Berry Group, and a nanny in

the Berry villa, and there is nothing between Mr. Berry and me."

Grace seemed to understand Sophia's feelings very well. She was nicer and gentler when she spoke:

"Sophia, I understand your concerns. But don't worry, no matter what is your identity, I won’t object your

being together with Stephen!"

Sophia explained again: "Madam, you really misunderstood!"

With a smile on her face, Grace looked at the mechanical watch on Sophia's wrist: "Sophia, that watch

belongs Stephen, right?"

"..."

Sophia acquiesced.

After drinking a cup of coffee, Grace got up and said, "Sophia, don’t be nervous. I come here to talk to

you and get to know you. Don’t worry about the things I mentioned just now. You could persuade

Stephen slowly. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Before leaving, Grace exchanged telephone numbers with Sophia, and told Sophia. "Don’t tell Stephen

that I came to you today, because I am afraid that he will be paranoid."

Grace had been away for a long time, and Sophia was still in a daze in front of the cafe. She didn’t

know why Grace told her this. And she had no idea of what happened between Stephen and his

parents.
