Free Web NovelChapter 699: Chapter 697 I Agreed [4 Updates]
After being stunned, Sophia burst into tears, nodding while wiping her eyes, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Christopher quickly held her small hand and asked, "Sophia, are you willing to marry me?"
Sophia kept nodding desperately, not using words to answer Christopher.
Hiding in the corner, Maya watched the scene, wanting to cry but having no tears, and whispered to herself, "This silly sister, why doesn’t she know to say she’s willing?"
At this time, Asher and Hudson emerged from the shadows, jeering, "Fifth Master Scott, it seems your proposal isn’t strong enough! Sophia didn’t respond to you! Better luck next time."
Hearing everyone’s jokes, Sophia got anxious and quickly turned around to explain, "I agreed, I nodded."
Sophia was afraid that she hadn’t made herself clear, and Christopher might give up on her.
"Pfft..." Maya came out, unable to contain her laughter, and said, "My silly sister, don’t just cry and nod! You have to answer Christopher!"
"Christopher, I do, I’m willing to marry you." Sophia, listening to Maya’s reminder, immediately pulled Christopher up from the ground and said earnestly.
"Silly girl, I heard you. You don’t have to worry, even if you hadn’t agreed this time, I would continue next time." Christopher, seeing Sophia’s anxious look, immediately hugged her tightly.
"I do, no matter when you propose, whether there are flowers and chocolates or not, I am willing. In this life, Sophia will marry no one but Christopher." Sophia said earnestly.
Listening to her determination, Christopher beamed, gently holding her small face, and kissed her lips without hesitation.
He knew Sophia would agree to his proposal, in fact, he secretly wanted her to challenge him a few times, so he could give more to her.
Standing by, Maya watched the two kiss, pinched Liam’s arm with her small hand, and pouted, saying, "Liam, learn something."
"Maya, we’re like an old married couple already, as long as I take care of you in bed, that’s enough." Liam lightly hugged someone close, smirking.
Ella, standing to the side, overheard their whispers and giggled, "Maya, the principal’s wedding for you will be absolutely unique."
"Ella, I love hearing that." Liam lightly kissed Maya’s cheek and said with a smile.
Seven stood by, watching as everyone slowly found their own partners, feeling very happy, but suddenly noticed Asher looking a bit forlorn.
Seven gently nudged Asher and asked, "Asher, why haven’t we seen you bring your wife out to play? You two have had your certificate for two years, maybe take advantage of the excitement and throw a party too."
Such happy events, the more the merrier, the more the joy.
Listening to Seven, Asher forced a bitter smile and said, "My wife? My wife is practicing at home."
Maya has a high and cold temperament, Ella is gentle, Sophia has a quirky nature, Seven is steady; however, in front of their husbands, they are adorably silly; but his wife is like a goddess, an unattainable deity who is sure to argue every time they meet, making him love and hate her, constantly trying to outsmart her but still unable to conquer her; such a wife naturally can’t be brought out and must be kept at home, who knows when she’ll change her mind and leave with someone else.
Seven said, "Come on! Bring her out for Maya and Liam’s wedding, let everyone see, they haven’t met her yet! It’s a good chance to ease your relationship too."
"Okay!" Asher agreed, though his heart quivered a bit, watching Liam and Christopher find love, it’s a lie to say he’s not envious.
After a while of excitement, everyone moved to the hotel, rented a room, and played mahjong.
At the table, Maya, Sophia, Seven, and Ella formed a team, while a few men directed the battle from behind, making it a family feud.
Maya’s mind was sharp, even without Liam teaching her, she could overwhelm the others and instantly beat them.
Hudson stood aside watching the game and seriously said, "Sister-in-law, your mahjong skills could have a match with Sister Payne from the fourth brother’s family."
"Riley Moore? Asher, don’t hide your wife at home all the time! I’ve heard of her for two years, but I’ve never seen her." Maya glanced at Christopher and continued.
About Asher’s wife, she heard, but never met her, rumored to be a woman with quite the personality, who can make Asher explode in anger.
"Haha! Sooner or later we’ll split, nothing much to see." Asher laughed bitterly, last night he finally went home, and they had a big fight.
Now, just hearing the name Riley Moore gave him a headache.
Maya noticed his discomfort and didn’t mention Riley Moore again, but focused on playing cards, thinking that if she had the chance in the future, she’d definitely want to play a few rounds with her, now aside from Liam, she couldn’t find an opponent, how boring!
"Hahaha! Maya, you let me win this one." Maya got distracted, and Ella luckily won a hand.
"Oh, I let you win!" Maya said with a sweet smile.
After a few rounds of mahjong, Maya started yawning; she had just gotten off a plane this morning, and the jet lag hadn’t worn off yet.
Liam saw her fatigue and gently held her in his arms, kissed her face, and said, "Maya, shall we go home to rest? We can play another day."
"Hudson, come over and take my place!" Maya called Hudson to take over for her.
However, Seven also said she was tired, and she was pregnant too! Although she had a long nap in the afternoon, she couldn’t hold on now.
As a result, those who had families left the table, leaving the singles and those who didn’t want to go home like Asher to continue the second half.
In the basement parking of the hotel, several cars parked together drove off, leaving Christopher and Sophia last.
In the car, Sophia stared at Christopher, lips pursed in a sneaky smile, with all the scenes of Christopher proposing to her today replaying in her mind.
Christopher noticed Sophia’s silly smile and raised his right hand, gently touching her chin, "Do I look that good? You’ve been staring for so long, even didn’t focus during the game, always looking at me."
"Uh-huh!" Sophia nodded vigorously, she really thought Christopher looked good.
Even after more than a year of looking at him, she still wasn’t tired and still liked looking at him very much.
"Silly, aren’t you?" Christopher pinched her small face, eyes full of affection.
Sophia stared straight at Christopher, seeing his tenderness towards her; she bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, grabbed Christopher’s big hand, and said seriously, "Christopher, I want to go to your house."
Hearing Sophia’s words, Christopher was taken aback, immediately turned around and stared at Sophia.
He stared at her for a long time before furrowing his brows and asked, "Sophia, do you know what you are saying?"
"I know."
"And do you know what that means? Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you up?"
"I’m not afraid." Sophia wanted to follow Christopher home, and she was naturally well prepared in her heart.
