Three Years Wasted I Married Mr. Right novel Chapter 169

Sophia couldn’t help but envy Annabelle’s way of thinking. She was always a step ahead, never afraid to love or hate with her whole heart.

“Let’s not get into that right now,” Sophia said, waving a hand dismissively. “What I really mean is, I just found out–I’d been wrong about who rescued me that day, all these years.”

Annabelle’s eyes grew huge. “Wait, what? For real?”

“It wasn’t Lucas who pulled me out of the rubble,” Sophia admitted quietly. “It was Mr. Sterling.”

Annabelle stared at her, eyes wide. “Seriously? That’s straight out of a soap opera!”
