Chapter 163 It's Nice Being Single
Noah didn't give her the chance to finish her words. "Sophia, as I said, I don't mind."
"But I do. I've slept with Drake. I can't sleep with someone else. I just can't do it."
"So, are you going to accept Drake?"
"Of course not. I just... don't want to fall in love or get married anymore. In fact, … It's nice being
single."
Noah didn't like her idea. "Sophia, listen to me, though you have this idea for now, you'll slowly forget
what has happened after you're with me."
"Noah, come on, you have many choices about your girlfriend. Don't waste your time on me."
"It doesn't matter. I like wasting my time on you."
Sophia suddenly didn't know what to say.
"How long will you stay there?"
"I don't know yet."
Sophia couldn't tell Noah that she didn't want to go back.
If she did, no one could force her to stay.
The reason she didn't go back was that Drake was still very important to her.
"Okay, I see." Noah hung up the phone
Sophia then threw herself into the work.
When the phone rang again, it was afternoon, and it was Emma calling.
"Sophia, do you have time tonight?"
"Yes! Ms. Glass, what's the matter? "
"My teacher, who is now the principal of Sealand University is holding a birthday banquet tonight.
Would you like to go there with me?"
Sophia was surprised. "But Drake..."
"Let's not talk about him first," Emma said, "My teacher said he would love to meet my student. I call
you because you happen to be in Sealand. But you can just say it if you are busy."
"Ms. Glass, I'm always available when you need me."
"Okay, I'll pick you up after you get off work."
"Okay, Ms. Glass, see you then."
After Sophia hung up the phone, Chloe came in.
"Sophia, let's hang out tonight!"
"No, I have an appointment with Emma. We are going to attend the birthday party of the principal of
Sealand University."
Chloe thought for a while. "Bailey mentioned it to me, but I wanted to hang out with you, so I didn't
agree. If you go there, I will go too." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Sophia smiled. "Okay, then let's go together."
"Yes."
When Sophia came out after work, Emma had arrived.
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Drake wasn't in the car.
Emma smiled. "You don't want to see my son, right?"
Sophia said awkwardly, "Ms. Glass, I..."
"I understand. So, I asked him not to come here with me."
Sophia nodded. "Thanks, Ms. Glass!"
"You might be my daughter-in-law. So, let's skip the thank you part."
Sophia suddenly didn't know what to say.
Emma had a smile on her face all this time. "Alright. I'll stop."
Sophia had not changed her clothes. So, she went to buy a dress. When she was ready to pay, she
found that Emma had paid for her.
"Ms. Glass, why did you pay for me?"
"You go to the banquet with me, of course, I should pay for you. Besides, I want you to be my daughter-
in-law, so I gotta please you."
"Ms. Glass..."
"Alright, let's go."
Sophia was helpless.
It was said to be a small birthday party, but many people from the upper class attended it.
The principal of Sealand University was well respected. Many elites were his students. And he had a
very high social status himself. So, in total, there were at least 200 guests.
But Emma's and Sophia's presence still caused a stir.
Many people didn't know who Emma was. After all, the upper class in Sealand hardly saw her.
But her elegance and nobility made people unable to take their eyes off her.
And Sophia was beside her. Sophia had nothing to do with the principal, so why was she here?
Someone said in a low voice. "Is that Emma Glass?"
Emma Glass?
Many people didn't realize it all at once, but the name sounded familiar.
"Oh! I see! Isn't she the principal's favorite student?"
"Yes, I remember she married Baron Riley and then disappeared after divorcing him!"
At this time, everyone looked at Olivia together.
Olivia was Baron's current wife. If Emma was Baron's ex-wife, then these two were rivals in love!
Olivia looked at Emma too.
It had been almost two months since Emma came back, but she had kept a low profile.
She had never shown up in Riley manor, nor had she shown up on any occasion.
She kept such a low profile that no one noticed that she came back.
Olivia didn't expect to see her here. Subconsciously, she looked at Baron too. As she expected,
Baron's eyes were fixed on Emma.
"Emma!"
Baron walked over to Emma.
Emma's identity was confirmed. She was indeed Baron's ex-wife.
Why was Baron looking at Emma so affectionately?
"Emma!"
Baron stood in front of Emma.
Olivia looked extremely unhappy.
Emma seemed to take Baron as a stranger and said calmly, "Sorry, Mr. Riley, I'm here for my teacher's
birthday, please make way!"
She sounded emotionless as if nothing had ever happened between them.
"Emma, it's been a while. I thought you left. Since you've been here all the time, why didn't you come to
me?"
Sophia couldn't help laughing out loud.
Only then did Baron notice her. With a closer look, he asked, "Are you Sophia?"
"Hello, Mr. Riley!"
Sophia sounded emotionless too, although she was smiling.
Baron looked at her carefully and found that the woman his son liked had a similar temperament as
Emma.
It seemed that he and Drake had the same taste.
Sophia smiled because she was amused by how self-righteous Drake and Baron, the father and son,
were.
But Baron didn't ask why she smiled, so she didn't explain.
Emma had no intention to answer his question. Since he didn't get out of the way, she decided to
bypass him.
Unexpectedly, Olivia came over. "Ms. Glass!"
