Sinful Duty - Chapter 537 Sophia's Birthday
Teresa put her daughter who had just fallen asleep in the cradle beside the bed and walked towards Zed who was leaning against the window.
She gently put her arms around Zed’s waist and leaned her head on Zed’s back, listening to Zed’s quiet breath.
“What’s wrong?”
Teresa asked softly.
“Nothing. I just feel that I didn’t do a good job. I am not good in many parts.”
Hearing what Zed said, Teresa felt sad.
“Don’t take mom’s words too seriously. You know, mom has been in a bad mood these days. Besides, mom didn’t talk to me much when I talked to her before you came back.
I told her that I went to see Sophia in the afternoon. She might be a little angry, because my mother doesn’t like Sophia very much. But when she saw my father agree with me to reconcile with Sophia, she might feel embarrassed. Besides, my father said so.
And you happened to come back when she was angry, so she said something unpleasant. Please don’t take it to heart, okay? Dad is on your side. ”
“Teresa, how can I not take these words to heart? Besides, mom was right. It’s true that I haven’t done many things well. I haven’t met your parents’ requirements in many aspects. Sometimes I feel a little tired.
But of course I won’t hate them for what your parents said. After all, they are elders. ”
“Well, you are good enough. I know you have been very tired recently. So, thank you, Zed. ”
Zed turned around and held Teresa in his arms. He rested his chin on Teresa’s head and said, “You must be tired too.”
“Nothing. ”
Teresa and Zed leaned against the window and intimated with each other for a while.
These days, in order not to make Teresa worry about him, Zed refused all the social engagements. Since Zed was the son-in-law of An family, people in the company could not say anything more.
Zed got off work as soon as possible every day and spent more time with Teresa and his daughter. It seemed that Zed really felt that this kind of life was indeed the best life, the calmest life.
It had to be said that it was also the life that Zed yearned for most.
After taking a shower, Teresa lay in Zed’s arms and fell asleep. The two of them had their own thoughts, but they also wanted to make the family better.
Zed knew why Connie did this to him, because Sally’s matter had not passed in Connie’s heart. In Zed’s opinion, he had done not good enough.
Of course he knew clearly that he was wrong in the matter between him and Sally. He had the woman he loved, but he still couldn’t resist the temptation of other women. This was not a simple mental infidelity, but a physical infidelity.
No matter how charming Sally was, things wouldn’t have developed to this extent if he hadn’t been so willful. At the thought of the money that Sally and Charles conspired to cheat him, Zed felt himself a coward.
Zed swore to himself that he must revenge himself. Obviously, the two of them wanted to gain more benefits from him. Now it seemed that it was not that simple, because Zed’s reputation had already been ruined by them. His life was disturbed by them and his life would certainly be troubled.
The more Zed thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Teresa. He loved her so much since childhood.
Zed lowered his head and looked at Teresa, who seemed to be asleep, gently kissed her on the forehead.
“Good night, Teresa.”
In fact, Teresa, who was still awake,
e else beside her and got close to Victor.
“Why didn’t anyone say that Jian family would come?”
Victor was also confused and said, “I don’t know. Grandpa and mom called to tell me that only our family members came. Did they come by themselves?”
Sophia thought to herself, ‘Caspar really thinks highly of me.’ Perhaps it was her birthday, so Xiao family didn’t mind the visit of Jian family too much.
After all, the current situation of Sophia was not completely out of the Casper family. Of course, she would meet Caspar again in the future. It was not good to tear up this layer of paper.
“Victor, how’s the company going recently?”
Casper took Peter to the place where Victor and Sophia sat.
“Don’t worry about it. Everything is fine in the company.”
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Casper’s ugly face made Sophia unable to restrain herself, but seeing Victor talking to him in such a calm way, Sophia naturally felt that Caspar couldn’t get any benefit here.
“I heard that the YS Group is working on some projects recently. Can I know what kind of project it is?”
“Many kinds of projects.”
“I wonder if Jian family’s company can help you? As the saying goes, keep the goodies within the family. Do you think so, Sophia? ”
When Sophia was about to shift her attention to Luis, she heard Caspar call her name. Obviously, he did it on purpose.
“Ah?”
Sophia pretended not to hear it clearly and was about to prevaricate.
“Well, I will consider to assign some projects to your company. Besides, it’s true that keep the goodies within the family.”
Victor said with a smile, not making things difficult for Sophia.
Of course, Casper didn’t care what kind of response Sophia would have. As long as Victor said that, Caspar’s goal was achieved.
Sitting next to Casper, Peter also smiled happily because of Victor’s answer.
“What the ancient people said is true.”
After saying that, Casper and Peter turned around and stood beside Christopher, ready to flatter Christopher.
“Victor, why did you…”
“It’s okay. I know what I’m doing. I’ll increase the intensity of investigation on the company of Jian family. Don’t worry.”
“Okay.” Sophia nodded her head. It turned out that Victor had been controlling everything.
