Oliver clasped her fingers against his chest and softly repeated, “You’ve been on my mind.”
A buzzing sensation erupted in Sophia’s mind, leaving her momentarily speechless. Instinctively, she stepped back, wanting to maintain a respectful distance–not out of aversion but out of consideration for Amanda.
She knew Amanda harbored feelings for Oliver long before she did. In her mind, Oliver belonged to Amanda
Even if she had feelings for him and he was unaware, Sophia knew better than to get too close to Oliver.
Reflecting on her recent theatrical display with Jason, she regretted the unnecessary entanglement.
Her lack of foresight had been a mistake she vowed not to repeat.
“Oliver, can’t we just be friends! Isn’t it true that all relationships eventually settle into affection with time? What’s the rush?” Sophia’s rejection was evident, and Oliver realized he had been too hasty.

g to his seat, he smiled gently. “Alright, I’ll follow your lead. Let’s start as friends.”
The tension banging between them dissipated, and Sophia quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Even without Amanda in the picture, she and Oliver

A loud, high–pitched voice crackled through the receiver with urgency as soon as she finished speaking. “You had four deuces in your hand? Why didn’t you blow it up right then!”
Sophia’s expression darkened immediately at the words.
“You took him to the casino“”
Lynn immediately refuted, “He escortedthere, insisting that Jason had provided him with a VIP card for the Golden Lounge.”
Sophia closed her eyes, suppressing the anger simmering in her chest.
Jason was wild and reckless.
Jason had a way of coaxing him with small favors, manipulating him effortlessly.

Sophia rubbed her temples wearily, her head was pounding!
She thought, If Tommy was indeed my twin sister’s child, I had to locate his biological mother. Losing a child was the most profound pain one could endure! How could I keep Tommy while allowing the mother to suffer? Where should I begin searching for my twin sister with the vast world
out there?
“Did you adopt the kid! He’s quite spirited,” Oliver’s voice interrupted her thoughts, bringing Sophia back to the present.
