Chapter 687 Might as well find Mr. Harrington!
Alex murmured, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
Sofia thought she was hearing things and stiffly turned her head to stare at him. "You... what did you just say?"
'He said he cared about me.
'He also said he was insanely jealous.''Did I hear it wrong?' she thought.
"Sofia," Alex sighed as he pulled her into his arms. "Our feelings are the same. Let's not be so impulsive next time, okay?"
Sofia blinked, not speaking for a long time.
She had heard it clearly just now; Alex said their feelings were the same. She could also hear two chaotic heartbeats growing stronger as if they were about to burst out of their chests and collide with each other.
For such a long time, except when they were in bed, this was the first time Alex expressed his feelings.
"Alex." Sofia felt a flutter in her heart and asked the question that had been on her mind. "Do you love me?"
Alex didn't say anything but kissed her hard on the lips, his hands gripping the outside of Sofia's thighs, lifting her easily onto the sink.
In this position, he had to look up to kiss her.
Sofia's exclamation was swallowed by his kiss.
She opened her eyes slightly and could see Alex's devout expression, as if he were her most loyal follower.
In an instant, Sofia couldn't think of anything else.
'It's enough. At least he said he cared about me,' she thought.
One of Alex's hands fell on the back of her head, and he easily noticed that Sofia was distracted again.
He chuckled, whispering in her ear "Yes, I do."
Sofia trembled all over, instantly excited.
She felt a surge of electricity run up her spine to the top of her head, her excitement boiling over as she reached out to pull at Alex's clothes.
Alex's hands were also getting all over her body as he said, "Sofia, kiss me."
What was happening now was not what Sarah had expected.
She just thought that since Alex had gone over, she shouldn't disturb them, so she hung up the phone.
However, she wondered what their situation was now.
'Since they have reconciled, things should get better,' she thought.
Sarah was staring at her phone in a daze when she suddenly heard the door close downstairs. She put down her phone and went downstairs, just in time to bump into Harper sneaking back in.
She asked puzzledly, "Harper, it's so late. Where did you go?"
Harper instinctively felt a bit nervous and replied, "Mommy, weren't you with Uncle?"
She had been talking with Benjamin outside for so long without being noticed. She thought Sarah was still in Brady's room.
She was caught by Sarah!
"Uncle is already asleep." Sarah answered her question first, then said, "You haven't told me what you were doing."
Harper shook her head. "I wasn't doing anything. I just went out to see if there were any stars."
She said it so earnestly that she didn't give herself away.
Sarah didn't suspect anything and said, "It's cloudy. There are no stars."
She held Harper's little hand and went back to the living room. Brian and Ryan were still building Legos, while Kevin was watching TV.
Harper was still thinking about what she had talked about with Benjamin, so she wasn't in the mood to play with toys. Her little mind turned, and she suddenly looked up and asked, "Mommy, do you want a relationshipe?"
Sarah was amused by her serious expression. "Why do you ask that?"
"Because I don't want Mommy to be so tired!" She said earnestly, "If Mommy falls in love, someone can help you with a lot of work and take care of us."
Sarah's hand gently fell on her head and said, "These things depend on fate."
Besides, her heart was already filled with Antonio; how could she care about anyone else?
Harper's eyes sparkled, and she tried to say something. "Mommy, actually I think..."
'How should she say it without arousing suspicion of Mommy?' Harper thought.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Sarah patiently asked, "What do you think?"
"If you start to date, we would have a new dad. I think you should choose Mr. Harrington!"
Harper didn't dare look into Sarah's eyes but continued, "I think Mr. Harrington is pretty good and matches with Mommy."
Sarah was speechless.
She didn't know what was going on in Harper's little head and why did she suddenly bring this up? But she could understand. After all, Harper had liked Benjamin before. Even knowing he wasn't Antonio, she didn't show any dislike.
"Harper, whether Mr. Harrington is good or not has nothing to do with me. He already has a fiancée," she explained.
"But their engagement has been canceled!"
Harper tilted her head. "I just saw it on the news."
Indeed, the news was everywhere online, and even major TV entertainment shows couldn't help but broadcast it.
After all, the incident on the engagement day was so big, and Benjamin had already made a statement.
It was equivalent to humiliating Isabella.
Isabella did feel ashamed. After the villa was burned down, she moved into a secluded hotel, not going out and too embarrassed to find Benjamin.
Of course, Sarah didn't know any of this.
She helplessly explained to Harper, "But I don't have feelings for him."
Harper bit her lip, still a bit unwilling, and continued, "Feelings can be developed, right? Mommy, you used to say that."
That was something she had said to Sofia before, and Harper had overheard it.
Sarah was choked up for a moment.
"In any case, I'll handle my own affairs. You don't need to worry."
Since Sarah had said this, Harper couldn't continue. She nodded. "I understand, Mommy."
Although Brian was helping Ryan with the Legos, he had been listening to their conversation. He looked at Harper's expression without showing any emotion, a quick flash of something in his eyes.
He suddenly clapped his hands and stood up.
