Chapter 294 She's Not Related to Me

Upon hearing this, Christopher instinctively put away his phone. "No." He got up and walked towards Sophia before complimenting the item she was holding. "This one looks Let's buy it and then look at others."

very

nice.

Sophia linked her arm through his with a smile on her face. "Okay. Come home with me for dinner today. We can discuss the engagement."

"Isn't it too rushed?" Christopher inquired.

"How is it rushed? We've been together for so long, so I don't think it's rushed," Sophia replied. "Or is it that you don't want to get engaged to me, Christopher?" she asked all of a sudden.

"No way." Christopher quickly denied her statement. "Of course I want to get engaged to you." Sophia smiled satisfactorily. "Okay, then come to my house today so that we can discuss it properly. We need to decide on a good date."

"For such an important matter, should I consult my dad again?" Christopher suggested.

Sophia thought about it for a moment. "That's a good idea. You can ask your dad for his availability, and our families can meet again." The last time the two families met was at the Martinez's household, where Michael brought Christopher to apologize.

After shopping around the mall for a while, Christopher, who was concerned about Fanny, found an excuse to leave early. "My dad is urging me to go back to the company, Sophia. I'm sorry, I can't continue shopping with you."

Sophia held onto his arm. "Do you really haye to go? Can't you stay?" she whined playfully. "Well, it's unavoidable. I'll make it up to you when I get back." Christopher finished speaking and kissed Sophia on the forehead.

Sophia smiled. "Well, make sure you don't upset anyone in the office. We are about to get engaged-you can't make me sad again."

Christopher naturally agreed. As he was about to leave, Sophia suddenly questioned him. "Oh, by the way, Christopher, has your ex-girlfriend bothered

you again?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about her?" Christopher asked, trying to hide his nervousness. Sophia continued casually, as if she hadn't noticed his stiffness. "I just recalled something. I ran into your ex- girlfriend on the streets before this. She was with another man. They seemed close, and the man looked quite wealthy."

Chapter 294 She's Not Related to Me

"Why are you telling me this?" Christopher's face darkened. "We broke up a long time ago, and she's not related to me in any way. It's normal for her to be with someone else." Although he said this, Christopher couldn't help feeling uncomfortable and angry inside.

"I'm just worried that she might still be bothering you even though she's with someone else. You're a great man, Christopher, and I'm worried that she might regret leaving you for someone else. I'm afraid someone might snatch you away from me," Sophia explained.

Despite Sophia's praise, Christopher was not happy. "Did you really see her with another man?" he asked. Christopher couldn't shake off the memory of Fanny crying to him just two days ago. The thought of her made him feel agitated. How could she move on so quickly to someone else? Is this just because of my staged performance with Sophia? But I made it clear to Fanny that I don't like Sophia at all. She's the only person I like.

"I'm sure I saw her. She was kissing that guy at the time, right on the streets! If you don't believe me, you can call and ask her. Even if she denies it, you're smart enough to see through her act," Sophia insisted.

Christopher fell silent. Sophia didn't urge him to take action-she simply observed his expression. After a while, Christopher finally spoke. "Sophia, give me a moment. I need to use the bathroom."

"Go ahead, but don't sneak away! You have to properly bid me goodbye even if you're heading off to the office." Sophia nodded and reminded Christopher before he left.

Christopher felt a little embarrassed as Sophia's words brought back memories of the last time that he had left her to take Fanny to the hospital. He knew he had made a mistake in that situation. "I'll just check with my dad's company to see if it's urgent. If it's not, then I'll stay with you," Christopher said before heading to the bathroom.

While in the bathroom stall, he sat on the toilet and tried calling Fanny again, but there was still no answer. He sent her a text but received no reply. Doubts started to creep into his mind, and he began to believe Sophia's words. After feeling angry for a while, Christopher eventually calmed down and decided to stay with Sophia'a little longer. Since Fanny had moved on so quickly, he felt he could do the same.

Meanwhile, Fanny, who was being detained, kept asking for the phone to call Christopher. The police officer was exasperated at this point. "How many times have you tried calling already? Why do you keep trying when the calls are clearly not getting through?"

"I'm sure it'll work this time. He was at work just now, and he must've been busy. He should be done with work by now." Fanny's explanation was also something that she was trying to convince herself. She dialed his number eagerly, but the call didn't connect. After a few more tries, the police officer finally warned her. "This is the last time I'll allow this!"

Fanny hastily made the call, but as she waited patiently on one end of the phone, the dial tone simply went on until the call was cut off on its own. "Why are you still trying? It's obvious that this guy is trying to ignore you. You need to find someone else to call." Fanny wanted to make the call again, but the police officer reached for the phone before she could do so.

The police officer couldn't bear to watch Fanny trying for another time. Even though what Fanny had done was mean, she was in a tearful and vulnerable state at that moment. Her gentle features and the helpless look in her eyes made it easy for others to sympathize with

her.

There's no one else I can call..." Fanny was on the verge of tears. "I can't let my brothers know what I've done to Angela..." she explained. Angela was responsible for Zacharias' treatment, and Fanny didn't want her brothers to hear about what she said on the forum as she didn't want them to overthink things. She didn't want them to think that she was trying to sabotage Zacharias' recovery.

You should just stay for the day and head out to look for the person you were calling comorrow." The police officer thought that Fanny's attitude was decent, and they couldn't Fault a young girl like her for wanting to hide this from her family to protect her dignity. So, hey agreed not to contact her family at all.
