Chapter 268 Something’s Wrong
Michael Sanders immediately sensed that something was amiss and said, “Hold on, hold on,
young
man has a slender face. How can you make such remarks in front of us elders?”
He glanced at Sophia and then gently suggested, “Sophia, why don’t you two go chat in the garden? Regardless of what transpires, you’re still friends after all.”
Gao’s parents looked at Sophia, who nodded and stood up, “Alright.”
Michael Sanders turned to Christopher Sanders, who appeared stiff, “Apologize to Sophia. You’re usually so articulate, why are you stumbling in front of Sophia? Oh, you truly concern
me.”
Gao’s father chuckled, “We jumped to conclusions. The perspective of a young person differs from us older folks.”
Gao’s mother’s expression softened and her tone became gentle, Then go. Sophia, take Christopher for a stroll.”
By this point, Christopher Sanders had composed himself and courteously nodded towards Gao’s parents, “Thank you Uncle and Ms. May for your understanding. I will clarify things with Sophia.”
Whether he was referring to Fanny Kins or Sophia, no one present was certain.
However, matters of the heart cannot be coerced.
If Christopher Sanders truly does not have feelings for Sophia and is unwilling to continue, then there is nothing that can be done.
Michael Sanders playfully cautioned Christopher Sanders, “Christopher, as a guest, you should be courteous. Be mindful of your words and thoughts.”
Christopher Sanders nodded, “Understood, Dad.”
Sophia led Christopher Sanders to the garden, and the two settled in a pavilion entwined with vines. She initiated, “Do you still have feelings for your ex–girlfriend?”
Having spent time abroad in the past, she sometimes acted less coy than domestic girls, more direct and uninhibited.
Christopher Sanders gazed at her and sighed. She was truly a different kind from Fanny Kins.

He couldn’t deny that he still cared for Fanny Kins. However, he couldn’t divulge his inner
turmoil to anyone,
Christopher Sanders paused before responding. “We have a long history together. It’s hard for me to discern my feelings for her now, whether they are familial or romantic?
“After all, we share many years of memories. It wouldn’t be tru
her at all.”
Christopher Sanders spoke with a hint of truth.

Sophia not only found his words genuine, but also nodded in agreement, “You are quite honest.”
She had experienced love before and knew that a relationship easily let go of was merely a
game.
Christopher Sanders smiled, feeling as if he were basking in the spring breeze. “You are the girl I truly want to understand, so I must reveal all to you. Otherwise, you may end up despising me,
Sophia was taken aback. “What do

you mean?”
It was curious how a seemingly ambiguous statement could have such an impact on her.
Christopher Sanders gazed at her intensely, brimming with affection. “Miss Sophia, I sincerely apologize for my thoughtlessness last time. I hope you can forgive me, and I also hope we can have more opportunities to get to know each other in the future.”
Sophia’s ears tinged with red.
She looked at the sincere, gentle, and handsome boy before her, fedling a twinge of emotion.
Before she could respond, she had already nodded, a hint of delight lingering. “Alright, I forgive you, but let’s not repeat this.”
The apology was successful, and Michael Sanders was very pleased with this version of Christopher Sanders.
He had anticipated that things would unfold as he had envisioned, but Michael Sanders did not anticipate another issue arising with Fanny Kins.
Michael Sanders believed her case had been resolved, only to have it unexpectedly reopened.

Despite being old news, the situation was escalating, causing a headache.
Christopher Sanders found himself juggling Sophia and looking after Fanny Kins, feeling overwhelmed.
As events unfolded, Christopher Sanders lost his patience.
His involvement with Sophia had initially been for Fanny Kins, but if he couldn’t protect her. he wouldn’t bother anymore.
Michael Sanders reassured him, promising that this time, they would definitely resolve the matter completely.
Angela Kins had been enjoying a period of peace, and her relationship with Jonathan Lawson was improving. While lacking in romance, they were both preoccupied with their own lives.
This unexpected feeling of contentment brought them joy.
Jonathan Lawson no longer wore a stern expression as before, occasionally revealing a gentle side at the company, surprising the employees who wondered if the boss had changed.
However, all the tranquility was shattered by a phone call from Fanny Kins.
In a commanding tone, she demanded to see Angela Kins.
Angela Kins rolled her eyes silently, bluntly responding, “Who do you think you
are?”
It was quite amusing.
“Angela Kins, are you satisfied with how I am now?” Fanny Kins yelled and screamed on the phone for some reason.
Angela Kins felt a headache coming on and promptly hung up the phone
She suspected Fanny Kins had gone mad due to being jilted.
Of course, she didn’t inquire about it deliberately. Jonathan Lawson returned that day and informed her directly. She simply treated it as gossip.
But she couldn’t deny feeling a bit pleased upon hearing about it.
Evil deeds will have consequences. She had no hand in the jilting incident.
So, why did Fanny Kins have the audacity to call and scold her like a shrew?
Chapter 268 Something’s Wrong
Before long, Fanny Kins called again.
This time, Angela Kins chose not to answer.
She wasn’t a masochist, and answering the phone only invited abuse.
After several ignored calls, Fanny Kins fell silent.
Just when Angela Kins thought the other party had given up, the phone rang again, displaying an unfamiliar number.

Suspecting it was related to Fanny Kins, Angela Kins hesitated whether to answer or not.
After a moment of contemplation, she decided to pick up.
If it was Fanny Kins and she dared to curse again, Angela Kins wouldn’t be polite.
“Hello.”
Angela Kins was in a sour mood.
“Angela,” the male voice on the other end said, “It’s me.”
Angela Kins furrowed her brow.
The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t quite place it.
“Oh,” Angela Kins responded casually.
Neither warm nor cold.
“I would like to meet you in person,” the other party continued, “It’s regarding Fanny’s case.”
Angela Kins finally recalled who the person was.
It was Michael Sanders!
Jonathan Lawson’s father!
