Chapter 220 Rest Assured!
Sophia's crying made Bobby both annoyed and heartbroken.
Honestly, when the video of Sophia scratching the car and cursing came out, he was also dumbfounded.
Especially since Dianne was also suspected of illegal lending, he didn't know how to continue interacting with Sophia.
But whenever Sophia cried, he felt incredibly sorry for her.
"Bobby, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Although Dianne lends money, he's a good brother to me. He has provided for me all these years and never treated me badly.
Since I was young, I've endured the disdain of relatives who thought we siblings wouldn't make it. So, I gritted my teeth and pushed through. That day when the car was towed, I was actually in a hurry to see you. I couldn't bear to make you wait so long.
In the past twenty-some years, only you have shown me hope and light in life. I genuinely like you, so I was afraid you'd distance yourself from me if you knew about my brother. I don't care if you have money or a house; I care about your love for me.
That day, I did lose my composure. I don't know why I acted so wildly. Maybe it was because I was delayed in seeing you, which triggered another side of me. Ultimately, it's because I value you too much..."
Sophia used all her charm, thinking she needed to secure Bobby quickly. She couldn't keep stringing him along; she had to settle things with Bobby as soon as possible.
Bobby was indeed hesitant at first, but when Sophia cried, he felt she was the real victim.
Dianne lending money to take care of his sister wasn't wrong, was it?
Bobby had parents with distorted values, so how normal could his own values be?
He couldn't see how much dirty money Dianne made from illegal lending, nor could he see that the money Sophia spent was the hard-earned money of those who were scammed. He only saw Sophia's tears.
"Sophia, be good, don't cry. Let's put this matter aside for now. Your brother's situation is indeed tricky. If you have any difficulties during this time, come to me. If you need a place to stay, I can arrange one for you. It's a small townhouse in the suburbs. If you don't mind the distance, you can move in tomorrow."
Bobby was referring to the house his sister bought but never lived in.
It had no amenities, not even heating in the winter, but it was fully furnished. Nina had always wanted to rent it out, but who would be foolish enough to rent a place with no nearby convenience stores?
Bobby thought it was perfect since no one was there. He could rent it cheaply from Nina, and no one would see him meeting Sophia. As for food and drinks, he could order takeout for her.
"Is that house... convenient? Is it yours? I don't want to trouble your friends or relatives..."
Sophia said tearfully, actually probing Bobby's financial situation with every word.
Bobby, wanting to save face, of course, wouldn't say the house wasn't his.
"It's no trouble. The house is mine. It's been empty since I bought it. Isn't it only right for you to live there?"
"Really?"
"Absolutely! You can rest assured!"
Bobby patted his chest in assurance. Sophia stopped crying and continued to sweet-talk Bobby on the phone for a while before hanging up.
After hanging up, Sophia washed her face and began to think about what to do next.
Recently, Anna wasn't doing well either, so she couldn't rely on her. She had to firmly grasp Bobby and push him to divorce as soon as possible!
After all, with Bobby's annual salary of a million dollars, he could retire early after working for ten or eight years. By then, if she had a few kids with Bobby, her position would be even more secure.
Bobby thought he had found true love, while Sophia thought she had hooked a rich man. Both lived in the worlds they believed in.
On Luna's side, after dinner, she cleaned the table while Charles went to wash the dishes. Luna's phone rang.
From the kitchen, Charles vaguely heard Luna talking to Warren.
He immediately perked up his ears to listen carefully, losing interest in washing the dishes.
