Chapter 490
Sophia sensed his intense presence and instinctively placed her hand on his shoulder, stopping his advance. The sudden confession thickened the already stifling atmosphere in the cramped spare
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.
Yes, they had only reunited, confessing his feelings so suddenly was improper.
“It’s fine. Time is abundant ahead, and I am confident that I can warm her heart and win her over.”
Returning
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
weren’t meant to be.
She couldn’t bear to get involved with another man from the Wilson family again. It was too painful and too bitter.
“It’s getting late. How about we go to Classa Garden?” Oliver cautiously suggested.
Glancing at the date on her wrist, on December 22nd. Sophia recalled her promise to Sweety about spending Christmas in Eindio with Tommy. She couldn’t go back on her word.
Retrieving her phone from her pocket, she dialed Lynn’s number. When the call connected, she asked calmly. “Where’s Tommy now!”
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 escorted me there, 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.
It wouldn’t be long before he had to reveal Sweety to please that scoundrel.
She couldn’t longer allow him to stay in Cester City; he was a ticking time bomb.

didn’t dare argue
With a trembling voice, she acknowledged and promptly hung up.
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.

She looked up instinctively, a sudden realization hinting her.

Sophia thought, If Ada had become the heiress of the Watson Group, did that mean my twin sister raised Oliver, does he probably know some insider secrets?
Suppressing her tumultuous emotions, she nodded and asked, “Oliver, was Irene expecting twins back then?”
