Sophia wore a smile. Although she said these words while looking at Aria, she said them for Cathy to
hear.
"Yes. Drake is my husband now. We are all related and connected now."
Aria looked at Cathy, "You hear that, Cathy? Isn't my sister-in-law a sweet person? Oh, how I hate if
someone tries to hurt her!"
Cathy's expression changed. Aria was clearly giving her a head-on blow.
Soon, she responded with a smile, "Of course. How can anyone hurt Sophia?"
"By the way, have you met Hugh?"
Cathy's face changed again. It seemed that she couldn't get rid of that man for the rest of her life.
Everyone kept mentioning him to her.
"He must really want to see you. It has been years. If only he were still alive!"
Cathy couldn't help it anymore. She stood up and put two hundred-bill on the table.
"Aria, I suddenly feel a little unwell. I want to go back to get some rest. We can talk some other day."
She picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Aria stopped her in time, "Cathy, what are you in a hurry to leave? We haven't seen you in seven or
eight years. I have a lot to talk to you."
"Maybe next time!"
Cathy was obviously unhappy.
Aria continued, "But I am always busy, you know, I'm a star. My career has been rising and I don't know
when I will have time to see you again."
"It's okay. I will be here for a long time."
"Oh, you are not leaving?"
There seemed to be some implication in Aria's words.
But Cathy wasn't in the mood to think deeper, "I need to go now. You guys enjoy yourselves."
As soon as she left, Aria laughed. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"It felt so great! Did you see it, Sophia? You used to help me out, and now I could finally help you. How
does it feel to have someone backing you up?"
Sophia wore a smile and touched the tip of her nose.
"Sure. I feel great."
Aria looked proud.
"But it means you must have met a lot of these things. That's why you know how to deal with them
now."
Thinking of this, Sophia felt sorry for Aria. She was the person who led Aria to show business, but Aria
was the one who had to face all the troubles alone.
Looking at Sophia feeling sorry for her, Aria hugged her.
"Don't be sad. It's a good thing, isn't it? I think it's worth it, after all, we all have to grow up. I can't let
you, Drake and Paul, protect me forever."
Sophia smiled at her, "We'd like to protect you forever if we can."
"Yet I feel bad having you all take care of me. I hope one day I can be the one to protect you. See? I
did it today."
Sophia smiled brighter. "Okay, Aria. I saw it. Let me treat you to dinner, you can order whatever you
like."
"That's great!"
Aria loved it when Sophia called her Aria, it felt closer.
Sophia took Bonnie with them. Therefore, when Drake and Paul found them having dinner together
after a long time of worrying, they were speechless.
"Sophia, why didn't you tell me you're here having dinner? You always tell me."
"But I didn't want to this time."
"Why? Did I do something wrong?'
"No. You didn't do anything wrong. We just want some girls' time. You are free to have your boys' time."
"But Aria doesn't have much time off, you are taking too much of her time. Paul might be unhappy."
Paul widened his eyes. He didn't have the guts to feel unhappy!
Sure enough, Sophia looked over at him. "Are you unhappy, Paul?"
Paul immediately shook his head.
Drake looked at him speechlessly, as if saying, "Be a brave man!"
Paul said in a low voice, "Sir, I think we should leave Aria and Mrs. Riley alone."
His voice got lower and lower as he saw Drake's eyes widening.
"So, do you want me to dispatch you to Africa?"
"How dare you!" Aria suddenly spoke.
She looked at Paul, "Don't worry, honey. I won't let my brother send you to Africa."
Drake was speechless and looked at her, "Aria, is it because you have Sophia as your backer?"
"Yes. I have Sophia and she won't send Paul to Africa. So, don't say that again, Drake."
Drake didn't know what to say now.
What could he say?
He used to have all the say among them, but now after Sophia came along, his status was dropping.
He didn't even have a say over his own assistant anymore!
Bonnie suddenly spoke, "Auntie Aria, I am your backer as well!"
Aria was amused into laughter, "Yes! I have Sophia and Bonnie! I can't forget that!"
Drake was speechless.
Paul glanced at him and straightened his back. He suddenly had much more courage.
Since Drake was already here, he didn't intend to leave. He sat down and said, "Alright. I am hungry,
let's eat together."
Paul was a sensible man, he said, "Aria, enjoy yourself. I will eat somewhere else. When you finish,
call me and I will come pick you up."
Aria nodded in satisfaction and complained, "Drake, see? How nice Paul is! Look at yourself!"
Drake looked at Paul unhappily, "What are you doing? Making me look bad?"
Paul said innocently, "Sir, they want to be alone and we should let them..."
Before he finished, Drake cursed, "Shut up! Don't play good cop, bad cop with me."
Paul shrugged.
"I'm not leaving. Listen to me, Paul, if you left, I will send you to Africa in secret and they won't be able
to protect you. Make your choice!"
