Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 82: Betrayal is a Death Sentence.

Hearing her say this, Sean remained unconvinced.

"| remember clearly that you don't like cilantro. When we eat out, if they put it in your food, you makepick it

out." Sophia was startled, but she didn't show it.

""You must be mistaken."

Sean frowned, racking his brain.

"Maybe it was Rose who doesn't like cilantro. Like last time, | got it wrong. She loves taro cake, and | thought you

did."

"So Rose and | have very different tastes," Sophia commented.

Sophia took the dumpling soup from him, sipping it with the cilantro. "You seasoned it perfectly. It's delicious."

Sean shrugged."l guess | was wrong.

"It's a good thing it was Rose. If it were another woman, I'd be furious," Sophia huffed.

Sean raised an eyebrow. "You can question my sanity, but you can't question my fidelity. Accusingof having

another woman is an insult to my character." Sophia giggled. "Is it that serious?"

"Of course! Betraying your wife? That's punishable by death!"

Sophia couldn't stop laughing, eventually ending up in his arms, kissed deeply and long.

That night, Sophia, taking advantage of being a patient, wore a red spaghetti-strap slip, parading around Sean.

He eventually pinned her to the bed, his touch both urgent and restrained. Exhausted, Sophia showered with

Sean and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. In the middle of the night, she instinctively snuggled

towards Sean, only to find the bed empty.

She opened her eyes, sat up, stunned for a

a moment,

then got out of bed.

The room at the end of the hall, where the piano sat, was lit up. Sophia's heart pounded, but she took a deep

breath and walked over. She saw Sean sitting on the floor with his back to the door, staring blankly at the piano.

"Honey?" she called out.

Sean didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard her.

She went in, knelt beside him, seeing his dazed expression. She was slightly scared.

"Honey?" she called again.

This time, Sean snapped back to reality, his eyes showing confusion when he saw her.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Sophia asked.

Sean shook his head. "I was looking for something."

"What? Can | help?"

"What?"

Lasked what you're looking for. Do you need help?

Sean looked around the empty room, only the old piano present.

"| forgot," he mumbled, rubbing his forehead. He stood, pulling Sophia up."Must have been sleepwalking."

Sophia nodded. "It's awfully cold in here."

"Let's go back to bed,"

Back in the master bedroom, Sean pulled Sophia into his arms.

"Would you like to go to Antarctica to see the glaciers and the aurora borealis?"

Sophia looked up at him. "Why are you suddenly talking about that?"

| want to take you there."

"Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you."

Sean cupped Sophia's face and kissed her, the kiss deepening, threatening to becsomething

more.

"Stop, I'm tired," Sophia pushed him gently.

Sean teased her."Then we'll just put it on hold?"

"Okay."

"Writean 10U."

"Are you shameless?"

Sean buried his face in her neck, laughing, causing Sophia to laugh uncontrollably.

The next morning, Sophia woke to find Sean already at work. She went downstairs, ate the breakfast he'd

prepared, read in the sunroom, and then the doctor from Cloud Sea Hospital arrived to change her dressing.

After the doctor left, Sophia saw Mrs. Jennings approaching. She was about to close the gate, but Mrs. Jennings

rushed over.

"Sophia, wait! | need to talk to you!"

Sophia was getting a headache just seeing them. Even though Mrs. Jennings had told her to wait, she closed the

gate, making her feelings very clear.

Mrs. Jennings cleared her throat. "About you a

and my son... | know."

Sophia frowned. "What aboutand your son?"

"You two rekindled your romance. Wendy told me." "She's crazy!"

Sophia turned to leave, but Mrs. Jennings called out to her.

"Sophia, you're married to Sean. You should give up on my son. Even if it's involuntary, it's not right. Jake can be

impulsive, but you shouldn't be. It's Sean! If he finds out about you two, he won't let you go. Even the Jiangs

can't afford to offend the Reynoldss. You two need to think of the Jiangs. Keep your distance from now on."

Sophia didn't know whether to be angry or amused. Like mother, like son-

what a family!

Sophia turned, hands in her pockets | think you're right."

Mrs. Jennings's eyes lit up.

You understand my intentions. I'm doing this for both of you."

"But he lives right across from me. We see each other all the time." "Then move"

"I can move, but if Sean asks why, what should | say?"

Shouldn't you hope I'm calm?"

"Of course

Sophia nodded. "Alright, get Jake to move out as soon as possible."

With that, she went back inside.

For the next few days, Sophia enjoyed a peaceful life.

That night, Sean had to work late and wouldn't be hfor dinner. He told her to cook sof the frozen

*Alright, I'll see you tonight."

I won't wait."

Then don't blme for being bold."

His voice, warm and low, with a mischievous chuckle, cthrough the phone. Even though he hadn't said

much, Sophia blushed and quickly hung up.

Just as she was about to cook, Tree called, saying Chloe was at a company dinner and wouldn't leave even

though he tried to get her to go hbecause she'd been drinking too much.

"She's had too much to drink, I'm afraid she'll get into trouble. Can you cand talk to her?"

"Sendthe address."

Sophia pushed open the door to see Chloe being embraced by a balding middle-aged man who

was forcing drinks on her. Chloe was clearly drunk and disoriented.

Sophia rushed over, intercepting the man.

The man looked up, chuckling, "Oh, a newbie from your company? You're pretty, Keep her company and have a

drink with me."
