Chapter 135 Why Are Drake and Cecelia Here?
Chapter 135 Why Are Drake and Cecelia Here?
Travis's words confused Sophia. She asked, "Travis, what do you mean?"
"Don't you see! He likes you!"
Sophia burst out laughing. "Travis, please don't make fun of me! Noah can't like me! That's impossible!"
Travis glanced at Sophia with a shrug. Noah, Helena, Chloe, and Sophia grew up together, but only
Sophia herself could not tell that Noah liked her.
"I mean, Noah is not bad. If you can disentangle yourself from the past, why not try to date him?"
Sophia froze.
Travis glanced at her.
"No, Noah won't like me!"
Hearing this, Travis fell silent.
In the evening, Noah came over to Sophia, who, dressed in a long black dress, looked very slim and
beautiful.
When Noah saw her, his heart kept pounding. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Sophia, you're so pretty."
"Can't agree more!" Sophia looked around at herself. "I think I'm very pretty."
Noah didn't say anything but reached out one hand and bowed. "This way, please!"
Sophia walked outside quite naturally.
Sophia knew few people of the upper class, so she had hardly attended such a charity dinner. On the
contrary, many people knew her good relationship with Helena and Chloe.
However, both Helena and Chloe were in Sealand now.
Thus, almost everyone was shocked when Sophia appeared with Noah.
Noah was the heir of the Greenspan family. Although he was only twenty-five years old, he was
wealthier more than many people here.
Many people were wondering whether Noah would marry Helena or Chloe in the future. However, it
was also known that Chloe was dating Bailey while Helena had a crush on Travis.
Therefore, many women were trying to approach Noah and hook up with him.
To their shock, Noah always kept his distance from other women. He usually attended such a banquet
alone or with his assistant.
Thus, Sophia attracted great attention.
Many women's eyes were full of jealousy when they looked at Sophia. They didn't think Sophia was
good enough for Noah at all.
Sophia turned a blind eye to them, but Noah whispered, "Sophia, don't pay no attention to them."
Sophia gave a charming smile. "Of course, or I wouldn't have come with you."
Hearing this, Noah was finally relieved.
Paula Frost came over and asked in a gloomy voice. "Noah, who is this?"
Noah certainly sensed Paula's hostility. He clamped Sophia's hand. "This is Sophia Lawson. She's my
friend."
Paula was happy that Sophia was not Noah's girlfriend.
But...
"Her surname is Lawson. Is she a member of the Lawson family?"
Before Sophia and Noah could speak, Paula said, "That's impossible. I've never heard that the
Lawsons have a daughter. You can't be a member of the Lawson family."
Sophia and Noah looked at each other and didn't explain.
"But I warn you, you'd better stay away from Noah." Thinking that Sophia didn't have a powerful
background, Paula said without any concern.
Sophia smiled, and Noah said, "Paula, Sophia is my date today, so you can't be rude to her."
Paula said unhappily. "Noah, you could have invited me rather than her as your date."
Paula knew little about Sophia, but Paula felt insecure about Sophia's pretty look.
"It has nothing to do with you."
"Noah!"
Paula was upset by Noah's words.
"Well, just get out of our way. I'll take her inside." Noah looked impatient.
"Noah..."
It was a great insult to Paula.
However, Paula couldn't do anything with Noah. Therefore, she blamed all this on Sophia.
Paula thought, "Let's wait and see, bitch! I'll teach you a lesson later.
Walking inside the hall, Sophia whispered, "You seem to have gotten me into trouble."
"If Paula dare do anything to you, I will show her no mercy," Noah said with a face cold.
"You don't have to be so cold. What if few girls like you in the future?"
Noah said with a smile. "I think you are a good choice for me."
"Me?" Sophia was surprised.
"Yes!"
It sounded like Noah was joking, but his eyes were serious.
"No, we're too familiar with each other. That will be super awkward"
Noah narrowed her eyes, ready to say something, but the yell of shock from the door stopped her.
Drake and Cecelia entered the hall.
Many people had seen Drake before, and some were even his business partners. Nonetheless, he had
hardly attended any banquet in Pinkerton. As a result, the others were very surprised.
They also noticed Cecelia, who had never felt so proud. This was the first time she had attended a
banquet as Drake's fiancée. She did appreciate being under the spotlight.
"Why are they here?"
Noah frowned and looked at Sophia worriedly.
Noah didn't know much about what happened between Sophia and Drake. After Sophia went to
Sealand, Noah could only read something about her on the Internet.
Only when Sophia returned home did Noah see the hope between them.
Something special flashed in Sophia's eyes when she saw them, but it was soon gone.
"This is a charity dinner. It's not unusual for them to be here!"
Noah looked Sophia in the eye. "Sophia, you..."
Seeing that Sophia remained calm, Noah was not that nervous anymore.
Drake was so distinguished that nearly all the people looked towards him, which diverted the attention
from Sophia and Noah.
Cecelia behaved very well when she talked to the others. With a sense of superiority, she was very
proud of coming here with Drake.
Nonetheless, Drake noticed Sophia from the moment he came in.
Drake was a little surprised to see Sophia here at here. On second thought, he realized that she was a
native of Pinkerton, so it was no wonder she was here.
But Drake couldn't ignore Noah, who was standing next to Sophia.
