Three Years Wasted I Married Mr. Right novel Chapter 181

The past few days had felt unreal, almost dreamlike, and now that she was getting ready to leave, she could finally take a moment to soak in the familiar land around her.

Even if she didn’t have too many fond memories here, this was where she grew up–Ginkgo Town would always be honic for her.

Richard nodded. “Alright, guess I’ll come with you guys. Are we driving back?”

“Yep. Annabelle’s car is finally fixed, so we’ll be taking it home,” Sophia said.

“You don’t mind if I bum a ride, do you?” Richard joked.

Sophia laughed, “How could I say no? If the world’s richest man wants to tag along, that’s an honor for us!”

Richard’s fingers were long and deft–even though it was his first time making a flower crown, he managed to pull it off with surprising skill.

Once he finished, he leaned in a little, gently placing the crown on Sophia’s head. It fit her perfectly, like it was made just for her.

Sophia suddenly felt a little shy. She tilted her head and whispered, “Does it look pretty?”

Richard’s gaze lingered on her, a sudden warmth and deep affection flickering in his eyes.

He pressed his lips together—he’d kept it bottled up for days, but now, he just couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Sophia?” Richard said.

His intense look made Sophia nervous; she could feel her palms start to sweat.

‘Is he about to say something big?‘ Sophia wondered, her heart racing.

She barely had time to let her thoughts wander before a voice rang out behind her–urgent and pissed off. “Sophia, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.”

phia’s eyebrows twitched with impatience as soon as she heard it, and she instinctively glanced at Richard.

Richard instantly reined in all that fire in his eyes, going back to cool and collected, like none of that had ever happened.

She felt a wave of relief wash over her, thinking to herself, ‘Looks like I was seriously overthinking things.

Honestly, with the vibe just now, there was no way Richard was about to spill his heart and confess.

Almost instantly, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Sophia snatched the flower crown off her head and spun around–to find Lucas rushing over.

Emily trailed close behind him.

As soon as their eyes met, Emily looked at her all hurt and aggrieved, like Sophia had just loaded her up with a mountain of misery.

“Sophia, you sure made us search! How could you stay in such a dangerous spot?” Emily scolded, her voice trembling with worry.

“And you even brought Lucas along. If another quake hits, what would happen? He’s all the Westwood family’s got.”

When Sophia heard Emily lie on her act, she seriously had the urge to go scoop up a lump of dried cow dung and it straight in her mouth.

“If you’re so terrified of dying, why the hell did you even come here? Are you nuts or something?” Sophia shot back.

Emily’s pupils trembled, her eyes immediately shimmering with tears. “We were just worried about you! As soon as we found out you were here, we rushed over. How could you twist our kindness like this?”

Sophia’s head started pounding the second Emily spoke up. “I know you’ve mastered the bitch routine, but sorry, I’m really not a fan of your energy. Kindly keep your distance.”

Emily immediately put on her best pitiful act, sniffling and clutching Lucas’s arm. “Lucas, Sophia’s misunderstanding me again.”

The second Lucas laid eyes on Richard, he could practically feel his temper ignite.

Lucas couldn’t believe it–how could she?

‘Seriously? She’s been holed up here, having a sweet little moment with some guy, while I’ve been running around like crazy trying to find her, terrified something might’ve happened,’ he wondered.

“Sophia, you’re coming back with me. The company’s a mess right now–I need you back as Marketing Department Manager,” Lucas said, sounding like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“The company was thriving back when I was running the Marketing Department. It’s only been a month since

I left–how did everything fall apart so fast?‘ Sophia wondered, disbelief creeping in.

Sophia arched an eyebrow. “Lucas, is this really your attitude when you’re asking someone for a favor?”

cting all high and mighty, huh? Does he really think he’s still that untouchable Westwood family heir?‘ a thought, rolling her eyes.

On his way over, Lucas honestly thought he’d talk to Sophia calmly for once.

But the moment he saw her–especially sitting cozy with Richard, watching the stars and moon with him, and even letting him put a flower crown on her–there was no way he could swallow his pride as a man.

He ordered sternly, “Sophia, you’d better remember whose wife you are!”
