Too Late She Already Married Mr. Right (Sophia) novel Chapter 102

Richard gave his shoulder a quick rub, feeling tingling from where she’d been leaning against him. “My shoulder’s kind of

sore.”

Sophia was instantly alarmed. Not caring about whether it was too intimate, she reached out and pressed down on his

shoulder. “Here? Is it sore here?”

“No, move in a little closer,” Richard replied.

Sophia inched her fingers toward his neck and pressed gently. “Here?”

“A bit lower,” he said.

Sophia obediently moved her fingers a bit lower, pressing against a sleek layer of muscle that felt surprisingly springy.

It was as if a jolt of electricity zipped from her fingertips, making her whole arm buzz with a warm, light numbness. Sophia forced herself not to let her thoughts run wild, but she couldn’t help the heat rising to the tips of her ears.

‘I really had ended up sleeping on Richard’s shoulder. But I was sure we’d been playing chess. When on earth did he slide over right next to me?‘ Sophia thought to herself.

And what was he thinking, letting me use him as a pillow?‘ she wondered with a mix of embarrassment and confusion.

As she zoned out, Sophia’s fingers kept moving down until she ended up pressing against Richard’s chest muscle. Richard, noticing her hand getting bolder, finally cleared his throat to break the moment.

“Sophia, do you even know where your hand’s wandering?” He teased.

This was the first time he used that tone with her, and Sophia snapped to attention. Seeing her hand nearly on his chest, her cheeks flushed instantly.

“Sorry, I swear I zoned out.” Sophia stammered, her voice flustered.

She really didn’t want Richard to get the wrong idea. No way she’d try to make a move on him, not even if he gave her a

thousand chances.

Seeing her all panicked, Richard just chuckled. “Hey, it’s all good. With a body like mine, I wouldn’t blame you if it was on purpose.”

Sophia was speechless. She jerked her hand back, cheeks blazing, suddenly feeling way too close for comfort.

Fortunately, Richard had nerves of steel. Otherwise, Jason’s words would have startled him. He calmly said, “It’s not suitable.”

Sophia only crashed at the Sterling residence before because she was banged up. Now that she was all better, having her stay another night would just feel off.

Jason raised an eyebrow. “What’s the big deal? She’s stayed over before.”

Richard glanced at him without explaining. Before, he could have kept her with a clear conscience, but now his thoughts. were complicated, so he had to keep his distance.

Sophia returned to Cherry Grove and saw Lucas in the courtyard, his face full of resentment and hate. If she weren’t so brave, she would have screamed in fright.

When she got a good look at him, he seriously looked like some vengeful ghost. Sophia frowned, “What, don’t you sleep at midnight?”

Lucas glared at her, his face dark as a storm cloud. “Where the hell have you been?”
