"Sophie, you never answered my messages. I wanted to apologize to you in person. I acted impulsively last time. I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me? Can we just be friends - normal friends?" Adrian pleaded.
"Adrian, I've already made my feelings clear. I don't want to repeat myself. Please take care of your wife and kids. I'm leaving," Sophie replied and turned to leave.
"Sophie, wait!"
"Husband!" Erika interrupted and grabbed Adrian. His words and actions hurt her deeply. "Can't you see she doesn't want to talk to you? I am your wife now!"
With a look of disgust, Adrian pushed Erika away. "The only person who matters to me is Sophie."
Erika was almost thrown away by Adrian and fell down, but luckily she was supported by David next to her.
"So what if you like Sophie? She's with Hurley now and you don't stand a chance," Erika retorted.
"That's impossible! Sophie, how could you be with Hurley? He has two kids, they would never accept you!" Adrian insisted.
Adrian felt that it was impossible for Sophie and Hurley to get together.
At this time, Hurley is undoubtedly a good shield.
Since Hurley was not here anyway, she would just borrow his name for a while.
"How is it impossible?" Sophie said to the three children, "Babies, call me Mommy!"
"Mommy!" Jake screamed very loudly.
"Did you hear that?"
Adrian persisted, "So what? What's so great about Hurley?"
"He's amazing in every way - handsome, fit, and incredibly attentive. He even has an eight-pack and a waist like a dog's. His pecs could crush mosquitoes," Sophie teased.
Adrian was speechless.
I can improve my physique too," he replied, "and Hurley would never really like you. He's just playing around."
Sophie smiled confidently, "He likes me as much as I like him. The important thing is that he listens to me. If I tell him to go east, he doesn't go west. If I want fruit, he gives it to me. When I'm thirsty, he brings me water. If we agree, we could be married in minutes."
Adrian continued to protest, "Sophie, you're living in a fantasy right now. Hurley is not a good person. He's ruthless and deceitful-"
"Mr. Shaw, isn't it good to slander others behind their backs like that?"
Not far away a voice interrupted him.
Sophie turned to see a tall man in a suit walking in her direction.
Hurley seemed to have just left the meeting, and he walked in with a commanding presence.
He has a stern expression that can make people nervous.
Sophie felt her scalp tighten even more. Hurley probably didn't hear what she just said, did he?
Otherwise... this would be embarrassing for her!
Sophie's face turned to the side, not daring to look at Hurley.
Hurley reached her and, without a word, wrapped his arms around Sophie, pulling her close.
Though she tried to resist, Sophie found herself being held tightly by Hurley.
With a hint of amusement in his voice, he finally spoke.
"What's so great about me? I think Sophie would be able to tell you that, right?" Hurley said confidently.
Sophie's heart raced.
What do you mean her family is Sophie?
She had spoken without thinking because she didn't expect Hurley, but she hadn't expected Hurley to hear it!
Hurley must have misunderstood her, right?
"Sophie is very happy with my figure. In fact, Sophie said there's no one in the world better than me. I can satisfy her every need. Isn't that right, Sophie?" Hurley said, ignoring Sophie's condition.
Sophie shuddered at his words, almost giving her goosebumps.
"Hurley!" Sophie said, gritting her teeth as she whispered Hurley's name in a threatening tone.
Ignoring her warning, Hurley let go of Sophie's shoulders but became even more ruthless and grabbed Sophie's hand instead.
"What are you here to buy? Are you interested in anything?" Hurley seemed not to have heard the warning in Sophie's words.
"I've seen a lot of things that I like, but they were all taken by that lady," Jake replied, pointing at Erika.
Hurley looked at Erika indifferently. She felt insulted and humiliated, but Hurley's gaze quickly shifted away.
"Really? Then Daddy will buy the whole mall. From now on, no one named Adrian Shaw or Erika Michaels will be allowed inside," Hurley declared.
"Okay!" Jake cheered.
Erika and Adrian exchanged uncomfortable glances but remained silent. They did not dare to speak out, after all, the two families together did not have as much as Hurley's account.
And if Hurley was really angry, it would not be an easy matter if Hurley targeted their family.
"Mr. Shaw, my family and I would like to finish shopping and then go home. We'll say goodbye now," Sophie said, trying to maintain some dignity.
Hurley stopped after taking a few steps. "I heard you two got married recently and I haven't had a chance to give you a gift. How about I transfer some Shaw family shares to you? I'll give you 40% ownership," he said casually.
But Adrian's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
If Hurley buys the Shaw family shares, all control will be in Hurley's hands. He would have significant control over the company and could potentially take over the entire Shaw family whenever he wants.
Hurley is the business emperor. What he wants to do is not a question of whether he has the ability to do it, but whether he wants to do it.
Adrian stepped back and could only watch helplessly as Hurley stood holding Sophie's hand. Then the family of five walked away without giving Adrian a chance to explain.
Adrian looked at the small of Sophie's back and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and regret.
Although Erika didn't say anything, she felt hatred in her heart.
She was Adrian's wife, but he seemed to care more about Sophie than her.
"Adrian, I am your wife!" Erika reminded him angrily.
Adrian met her gaze coldly, then turned and walked away.
"Adrian!" Erika shouted, consumed by anger and frustration.
David had seen Erika's distress and tried to comfort her. "Erika, he's not worth it. Forget him," he advised.
Erika glared at him. "What right do you have to say that?" she retorted before rushing towards Adrian. "Husband, wait for me!"
Hurley held Sophie's hand and she walked behind him, stealing glances at his profile.
When Hurley finally stopped, there was a flicker of complex emotion in his deep eyes. "So when will you agree to marry me?" he asked.
The three children standing next to them covered their mouths in surprise, clearly amused by the drama that was unfolding.
Sophie was taken by surprise. "What I said earlier about agreeing to marry you was just a joke!" she stammered. Who would have thought that when she was making up rumors, Hurley would catch her on the spot?
Hurley chuckled. "Don't you think I'm a catch? I'm handsome, fit - with an eight-pack, a slim waist, and impressive pecs..."
"Hurley!" Sophie interrupted sharply.
She knew that Hurley had heard it, but if he said it now in front of her, it would be like walking into a trap.
"Adrian, I've already made my feelings clear. I don't want to repeat myself. Please take care of your wife and kids. I'm leaving," Sophie replied and turned to leave.
"Sophie, wait!"
"Husband!" Erika interrupted and grabbed Adrian. His words and actions hurt her deeply. "Can't you see she doesn't want to talk to you? I am your wife now!"
