Chapter 1615
Jeremy watched Sophia's performance quietly for a long tbefore speaking. "He didn't say anything about
you. He just looked a little upset, that's all."
Over the years, he had watched too many of Sophia's performances. No matter how good she was, he could still
tell when she was lying. Thus, he was not surprised at all.
Even so, there was nothing he could do since he was confined to his wheelchair. He would play along with her at
times, but most of the time, he would just sit numbly.
Sophia sighed. "So he is angry at me. Fine. I'll make it up to him when he wakes up." "Okay." "By the way, Dad
said we'll be going out for dinner tonight since he can't bear to let Melinda cook for so many of US. He also said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe has already booked a table."
Jeremy frowned. "Can | not go?"
Sophia shook her head. "Zachary, Dad is already feeling a bit peeved that you didn't pick him up at the airport
this morning, so he's definitely going to kick up a fuss if you don't go to the family dinner tonight. Plus, | thought
you care about what he thinks of you."
Jeremy looked down at his hands. "Fine. | get it."
Sophia looked at him closely. "So does that mean you'll go?"
Jeremy nodded. "Yeah, I'll go. Can you helppick out an outfit for tonight?"
Sophia smiled happily. "Of course! | knew you wouldn't make things hard for me, Zachary! I'll go pick out your
outfit now."
Her voice would inevitably get louder when she was happy.
Jeremy frowned, raised a finger to his lips, and glanced at the child who was still sleeping on the bed.
Sophia immediately turned down her volume. "Sorry. | always forget myself when I'm happy. Good thing
Benjamin didn't wake up. Well, I'll go pick out your outfit now, Zachary."
Jeremy nodded and steered his wheelchair to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out at the night sky.
Naturally, he did not want to go to the ‘family’ dinner because he did not see himself as part of Sophia's family.
Before, he had no idea of who he really was and could only accept what they told him.

However, things had changed. He already knew his past, and in his opinion, Sophia and her father were the main
culprits who made him what he was. All that, yet they still pretended they were all one big happy family. How
laughable.
Meanwhile, Corinne was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of her room as she looked up at the night clouds
tiredly.
"So, you didn't get to see Nellie Nymphaea face-to-face at all?" she asked with unconcealed disappointment. For
a moment, she thought she had found her mouth.
Lucas stood beside her and sighed. "I nearly did, but she must've sensed my presence because she left without
coming upstairs. After that, she turned down every invitation my friend extended to her. She even refunded the
lesson fees my friend gave her and told her she'd never teach her again.
Corinne frowned with confusion. "Why is an art teacher so wary of outsiders?" "I also find it strange, but there's
really no way to persuade her to cout and meet us."
