The Billionaire’s Runaway Wife

Chapter 40 Suddenly Calm

"Ah Yan, aren't you tired from going out so early in the morning? It's not a big deal to check out later." It was Ah Wen's voice.

“If I go later, she’ll run off first thing in the morning!” This is Alexander Windsor saying.

"No, Ah Yan, so what if she ran away? She still has to take a plane home."

Alexander Windsor seemed stumped by the question, and after a long pause, he said, "Yeah, I'm just so angry."

"If I were in your shoes, I'd be furious too. Spending your money and cheating on you? A wife like that should have been divorced long ago!"

"If you ask me, he deserves a beating. Ah Yan, you're too gentle. Give him a beating and see if he behaves for a few days."

Haha, this is his friend.

They've always been like this.

She wouldn't believe it if one day they didn't speak ill of her in front of him.

Luo Yucheng spoke up at this moment, "Stop talking. Ayan has already been wronged enough. How can he feel comfortable if you keep talking? Besides, it's because our Ayan is so good and kind that you are where you are today. If Ayan were a shrewd businessman, none of you would have anything to eat."

After a moment of silence, Awen continued, "That's right. If Ayan wasn't such a kind and loyal person, we wouldn't have become such close brothers. We also feel sorry for Ayan. It's all thanks to you, Olivia Blake, that you truly understand Ayan."

“Yes, thank goodness for you, thank goodness you’re back, Olivia Blake. Ah Yan has suffered so much these past years, he needs someone like you who understands and cares for him.” This was another brother of Alexander Windsor.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I know you mean well, and I'm so glad you've all been by my side all these years. No matter how much hardship I've endured, I've been able to get through it." This is Alexander Windsor.

In short, what he meant was that the five years he spent with her were a sea of ​​suffering, and Luo Yucheng's return was like a fairy saving him from that sea of ​​suffering.

Sophia Carter put down her coffee cup.

This Americano this morning was still a bit too bitter...

She quietly got up, walked out from behind the pillar, and passed their seats.

The person directly in front of you is Awen.

Ah Wen took a bite of breakfast and looked up to see Sophia Carter smiling as she walked past their table. Speechless, he dropped the food from his mouth.

"Awen, why do you keep spilling food when you eat?" Luo Yucheng complained to him.

“She…she…” Awen stammered, pointing in Sophia Carter’s direction.

"What?" Luo Yucheng looked in the direction Awen pointed and immediately turned pale.

Alexander Windsor and his other brother also realized something was wrong, and they both looked over.

Alexander Windsor had his back to Sophia Carter, and when he turned around and saw her, he was slightly startled.

But it was only slightly so.

Sophia Carter saw the same message in the wide eyes of the four people: Could they have been overheard?

Sophia Carter smiled, picked up the coffee in front of Alexander Windsor, and brought it to his lips.

Alexander Windsor remained frozen, his gaze lowered, fixed on the coffee cup.

Sophia Carter slowly tilted the coffee cup, the coffee flowing all the way to his lips, but he didn't open his mouth. So, drop by drop, strand by strand, the coffee dripped all over his clothes.

After dripping about half a cup, Sophia Carter put down the coffee cup, feigning surprise, "Hey, why didn't you drink it? I thought you did!"

“Sophia Carter…” Luo Yucheng looked at Alexander Windsor’s clothes, her eyes reddening. “What do you want? If anyone is wrong, it’s my fault. Don’t treat Ayan like this…”

“It’s none of your business, Olivia Blake.” Sophia Carter mimicked Alexander Windsor’s tone, smiling gently. “I just wanted him to drink coffee. I thought he drank it all, but it all spilled out.”

After saying that, she looked down at Alexander Windsor and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Windsor, I didn't notice. But is this coffee really that bad? You won't even drink a drop? By the way, is it your life that's bitter, Mr. Windsor, or the coffee?"

"Clang!" That was the sound of a spoon falling into a bowl from the hand of another of Alexander Windsor's brothers.

Sophia Carter's words meant that she had overheard everything they were discussing.

"Hey? Ah Xin, why can't you even hold your spoon properly? Did I scare you? Sorry, I'll be going now, you guys enjoy your meal." Sophia Carter smiled and walked out of the restaurant step by step.

The sound of dishes clattering came from behind, followed by Luo Yucheng's choked voice, "Awen, don't be like this, don't be impulsive, okay? What will Ayan think? Can't we all try to see things from Ayan's perspective? I'll go, let me go!"

“Sophia Carter!” Luo Yucheng called after her.

Because of her leg problems, she was quickly caught up by Luo Yucheng.

Luo Yucheng stood in front of her, and before she could speak, she burst into tears. "Sophia Carter, I'm sorry. I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have called Ayan away. But I was really scared. I... I've been through so many things you can't even imagine. I had a nightmare last night. I know I shouldn't have done it. I was wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If you want to throw water, throw it at me instead. Please don't blame Ayan, okay?"

Alexander Windsor had been sitting still, but when Luo Yucheng came to chase after Sophia Carter, he immediately followed.

After Luo Yucheng finished crying, two people stood opposite Sophia Carter. Alexander Windsor glared at her menacingly. "Sophia Carter, Olivia Blake didn't mean any harm. If you have any anger, take it out on me."

Sophia Carter found it both funny and tragic.

She hadn't said anything to Luo Yucheng, nor done anything, yet he was so protective of her. If he had just said one word in defense of her in front of his friends, none of his cronies would have spoken of her so arrogantly!

She actually laughed, laughed out loud, and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I'm not angry, and I don't blame anyone. You're overthinking it."

Luo Yucheng and Alexander Windsor were taken aback. They had prepared a lot of explanations, but now they couldn't continue.

“Sophia Carter,” Alexander Windsor said, gathering his thoughts. “I know you’re being sarcastic, but Olivia Blake really did have a nightmare last night and cried all night…”

Sophia Carter took a few tissues from the empty table next to her and stuffed them into Luo Yucheng's hand with a big smile. "I know, I heard it last night. Olivia Blake was scared. It's only right that you go and keep her company. I'm not scared, it's okay. Olivia Blake, you can wipe him down. I'm leaving now."

The air froze once again.

Luo Yucheng looked at Sophia Carter as she turned and left, then at Alexander Windsor, and felt as if he had punched a cotton ball.

No, what does she mean by that?

She hasn't finished performing the play she prepared yet.

Alexander Windsor was also somewhat incredulous; recently, Sophia Carter had been unusually calm in her interactions with him and Luo Yucheng.

"Hey, wasn't she doing it on purpose? There's a psychological trick called 'playing hard to get.' She pretends not to care, then makes you, Ah Yan, care about her. Several of my ex-girlfriends did this. After I really broke up with them, they cried and begged me to get back together. Women, sometimes you really shouldn't be so dramatic."
