Chapter 192 - Party at Hill villa (1) (2/2)

Edward was looking at Sophia without moving. Only his pupils contracted, showing his anxiety.

”Well, do you have anything to say?” Sophia looked at Edward apprehensively.

Edward was quiet for some time before finding strength to speak. He did his best to sound natural. ”What do you expect me to say? Should I congratulate you?”

Sophia exhaled in relief. ”True. I don't know what was I expecting... Honestly, I'm glad you are taking this calmly.”

Edward was serious. He put his outmost effort to stay calm and not to blow up. He does not want to repeat what happened with Sarah. He repeated to himself that Felix is not from White family. Felix does not have such a complicated background… if he makes Sophia happy and is true to her, there should be no problems. ”Is he taking good care of you?”

Sophia was happy to hear that Edward is interested in that. ”Yes, he is. I hope you find some time to talk to him and see for yourself that he is a good person.”

”I will try.”

”Thank you.” Sophia thought that it might end up badly. Seeing how Edward took it, it made her feel a huge relief.

Edward was still serious. ”I would like to talk to him. Can you tell him to come here?”

Sophia was surprised. ”Sure. He should be outside waiting.”

Sophia walked out and found Felix further down the hallway. ”My dad wants to talk to you. He seems OK.” Sophia noticed that Felix stiffened up. ”Just be yourself and it will be fine.” She reassured him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Felix walked into the study and closed the door behind him. He walked toward Edward and stopped few steps away from him. ”Mr. Hill...” He slightly nodded.

Edward looked at him with an unreadable expression. ”So, you are dating my Sophia?”

”Yes, sir.” Felix politely responded.

”Do you love her?” Edward observed Felix who was standing with his back straight and arms behind his back.

”Very much.”

Edward nodded repeatedly while lost in thoughts. ”Good, good. I hope you do your best to protect her. She looks strong, but that is just a front. Inside she is a fragile and kind person who needs to be cherished. Do you understand?”

”Yes, sir. I will not betray her.” Felix was confident.

Edward nodded and smiled faintly. ”Later I will introduce you to some people. Since you just moved to the area, it will be good to expand your network.”

”Thank you, sir.”

”Go and give Sophia company. I will join you shortly.” Edward stood up and walked to his desk while Felix exited the study.

Sophia was outside waiting. She was looking at Felix with her eyes wide open.

When Felix saw her expression, he could not help but chuckle. He showed her a thumbs up.

Sophia was very happy. She excitedly hopped to him and held his hand. ”Come, let me show you my room... and you can tell me how it went.”
