Too Late She Already Married Mr. Right (Sophia) novel Chapter 209

Richard leaned against the wall, teasing, “This is common.”

Couples hugging and making out everywhere. This was just how things were.

Sophia nodded, a thoughtful look on her face. “Mr. Sterling, you’ve spent so much time overseas. How come you’ve never dated anyone?”

“Who says I haven’t?” Richard teased, an eyebrow raised.

Sophia looked genuinely curious. “Seriously? I mean, any girl worthy of you would have to be absolute top tier.”

“Never did,” Richard answered simply.

Richard looked kind of crestfallen and took a sip of his butterbeer–one taste and he nearly choked, it was just ridiculously sweet.

Sophia tilted her head, a curious sparkle in her eyes. “Is it good?”

Richard was never a fan of sugary stuff, but with Sophia gazing at him all hopeful like that, he just couldn’t bear to let her down. “Yeah, it’s good,” he lied through his teeth.

“I just knew those folks online weren’t lying! We got lucky coming at this time–someone said if you try during the day, the line can last over an hour,” Sophia said, her smile full of excitement.

With that, she took a sip.

The butterbeer had this fluffy cap of foam on top, so when she drank, it left a white mustache around her lips.

Sophia instantly noticed and, a bit flustered, darted her tongue out to erase the evidence.

Richard happened to glance down and caught sight of the whole scene.

Her soft, pink tongue tentatively traced a circle around her lips, then pulled back, almost bashful.

Richard felt a rush of heat flare up inside him, and he downed a few gulps of butterbeer, trying to tamp down the fire.

Sophia was completely unaware of how captivating she looked, just blissfully sipping her butterbeer, totally lost in her own little world like a cheerful little hamster.

Just then, fireworks went off all over the park, painting the night sky with bursts of brilliant color.

Sophia looked up, eyes sparkling as the dazzling fireworks filled her gaze with pure amazement.

“Wow, they’re so pretty! Mr. Sterling, look–there are purple ones, and pink ones too!” she exclaimed, overtaken by excitement.

Richard couldn’t help but chuckle–it was rare to see her this unguarded and pure. “You really like them that much, huh?”

“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen fireworks this stunning. Mr. Sterling, looks like I’m lucky to have you around,” Sophia said with a bright grin.

Richard stared at the dazzling sparks reflected in her eyes, his heart thumping faster.

“Guess I’m lucky too–with you around, I get to see the most beautiful fireworks.”

He was talking about the glittering fireworks in her eyes, not just the ones lighting up the sky.

Sophia broke into laughter. “Alright, let’s stop flattering each other before we get carried away.”

After the fireworks show, it was almost closing time, and people were all heading for the exits.

Richard pulled out his phone to make a call, then strolled after Sophia, weaving through the crowd as they made their way right into the Harry Potter area.

Sophia looked over at him, uncertainty flickering on her face. “The park’s closing. You really think we can still get in?”

Richard just curled his lips into a smirk, teasing, “Why don’t you give it a shot?”

Sophia wasn’t really that hung up on it–if they could get in, great; if not, she was cool with just heading out with everyone else.

But to her surprise, as soon as she walked up, the staff waved her right in, and she almost blinked in disbelief.

She shot a look at Richard, who was right behind her, and whispered, “Mr. Sterling, did you just use your rich guy cheat code again?”

After all, it was closing time–having them let us in now must be the kind of perk only billionaire privileges could unlock.

Richard just grinned. “Are you happy?”

“Yes!” Sophia bounced in place, her face glowing with joy. That fluffy bear headband on her head made her look irresistibly cute.

Richard’s palm tingled with the urge to reach out and pat her, but he held himself back.

‘Someday, when she really belongs to me, then I’ll be free to hold her close whenever I want, he thought, a little frustrated.

Sophia finished off her butterbeer, tossed the cup in the trash can, and headed in together with Richard.

They checked out every section of the park, and Sophia went wild–totally wrapped up in having fun, she didn’t even remember she was still trending on Twitter, unwittingly stealing the spotlight from Yadel Group.

Meanwhile, as they were zipping along on the Megatron coaster, soaking up the glittering night views of the
