Chapter 123
The next evening.
Derick went to pick Sophia up early.
?Sophia came downstairs in a simple suit. She looked brisk and yet attractive. With her elaborate make–up, she became even more enthralled. No one could look away from her clear,
luminous eyes.
The restaurant they were headed to would only entertain specific customers. It was situated in a remote but excellent situation.
?It was an excellent place for a date.
When Derick handed Sophia the roses he had prepared in advance, the latter gave a smile and took them.
She said, “Mr. Woodward, you don’t need to…”
“Thank you for dinner, Ms. Cruise. It would be my pleasure to send you roses.”
Sophia didn’t know what to answer.
Fortunately, Dérick was talkative/ She didn’t need to worry about being awkward during the meal.
?As he and Sophia chatted, the atmosphere gradually relaxed between them.
However, for someone else, the scene was unpleasant to see.
Sitting by the window on the second floor, Pierce fixed his eyes on Sophia and Derick, his face extremely gloomy.
A mass of flowers surrounded the table where Sophia and Derek sat. They appeared to be sitting on a swing with wooden vines on it wrapped in greenery and flowers.
⚫ As the light was dim, others could only see their faint outlines. A
vague romantic air emanated from around them.
Sophia and Derick sat opposite each other. The light reflected and glistened in their eyes.
?The two were steeped in a sweet atmosphere.
Chad, who sat opposite Pierce, couldn’t help letting out a sigh of admiration.
“How beautiful Sophia is! She and that man seem like a real match.”

Chad could be considered a fan of Sophia and thought that she was great in many ways.
Pierce, who sat opposite him, shot daggers at him.
Then, Pierce gave a snort through his gritted teeth.
“She dates a man who looks like me. Isn’t it because she still loves me?”
Pierce was sure that Sophia was still in love with him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t date such a substitute.
She clearly couldn’t forget him and move on.
?Chad frowned and stuck his head out to get a closer look at Derick.
“Do you look alike? That man seems much gentler than you!”
As soon as he finished his words, Pierce looked sullen.
“Do you think so?”
Chad noticed Pierce’s anger.

He corrected himself, “That man is nothing like you. Pierce, you and Sophia have divorced, haven’t you? Why do you care about who she dates?”
Pierce replied with a serious face, “She is mine. I of course need to care about that.”
Chad found his words strange.
With his brows knotted, he asked, “I saw the scandal… Well, I saw something on the Internet about you and Emelia. I thought you were with her now. Looks like I was wrong. Do you regret divorcing Sophia?”
Pierce fell silent.
Was he regretful?
He was probably a little regretful. However, guilt over her and their unborn baby overwhelmed his remorse.
What he wanted to do the most was to make it up to her.
Chad, in his excitement, began to give him advice on how to be together with Sophia again.
“Pierce, why don’t you go after her? You should be gentle and say more sweet things to her. No woman can resist.”
Chapter 123
With his brows knitted, Pierce sank in thought.
Should he be gentle?
Should he sweet–talk her?
Wasn’t that what a man to play around would do?
He didn’t think what Chad had said was a good idea.
Chad cast a glance at Pierce, whose face grew gloomier and gloomier as he glared downstairs at Sophia and Derick.
?It looked like Pierce had tried his best to stifle his anger.
?Chad wondered if he had underestimated Pierce’s affection for Sophia.
He cleared his throat.
Then, he tried to soothe Pierce. “Calm down. Sophia is just on a date. Besides, you have divorced her, haven’t you? Don’t get angry so easily…”
Before he could finish speaking, Pierce stood up, his face darkening.

He said coldly, “You know nothing about our relationship. Can’t you see how much the guy she’s dating looks like me? I’m sure she still loves me. Don’t say that again!”
With that, Pierce turned around and went downstairs in a domineering manner.
When Sophia mentioned Eagle Entertainment’s projects, Derick seemed interested.
The surrounding lights were orange and shiny, bringing out the beautiful sight of Sophia and Derek sitting together.
Pierce, leaning against the wall nearby, squinted for a few seconds. Then, he walked to them, his face growing cold.
He spoke in a casual yet cold voice.
“What a coincidence! ?Are you two here to talk business?”
