Chapter 1266


    Sophia put the container of cut fruits on the table and sat on the chair across from Jeremy. She then


    opened the container and said with a smile, “Okay, it is boring here, but you’re here! I want to meet new


    friends and challenge myself in different areas to make the most out of my life. I mean, isn’t that the


    point of living? Experiencing new stuff and stepping out of one’sfort zone?”


    As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chilled watermelon with a fork and passed it to Jeremy.


    Jeremy’s head was throbbing from the long meeting and the photos Tommy sent. He took the fork from


    Sophia’s hand and put the chilled watermelon inside his mouth to allow the coldness to wash away his


    annoyance.


    Sophia picked up a piece of watermelon and took a small bite. She then blinked and said curiously,


    “Jeremy, Miss Corinne must’ve treated you very well in the past for you to like her this much, huh?”


    Jeremy frowned at the mention of Corinne’s name. After a long while, he asked her back, “How well


    does she have to treat me to be called treating me well?”


    Sophia rested her chin on her hand while she continued to eat the watermelon. “Mm… Take me for


    example. I’d bring you some cut fruits without you asking. Or call you to ask you when you’reing


    home. Or cook your favorite food for dinner. Or…create little surprises for you. Or show you how much


    I love you frequently.”


    Jeremy’s face darkened, but then he suddenly smiled mockingly. ‘Howughable. That little rascal


    never did any of those things. Heck, I don’t think she even knows what my favorite foods are.’


    Sophia pretended to be shocked when she saw Jeremy being silent. “What? Don’t tell me she’s never


    done any of those things for you. Sorry, Jeremy. I didn’t know it was a one-sided rtionship on your


    part.”This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Jeremy kept his eyes down. ‘One-sided rtionship, huh? How apt of a phrase to describe my


    rtionship with that little rascal. From the beginning until the end, she’s never been serious about me.


    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left me without saying a word.’


    Jeremyughed at himself. After all, he had never lost once in the 30 years he had been alive, yet


    Corinne managed to y him.


    Sophia cleared her throat embarrassedly. “Jeremy, I’m sorry for bringing up something that makes you


    unhappy. Umm… How about we change the topic? It’ll be my twenty-fifth birthday in a few days!”


    Jeremy snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her. “Oh. What would you like as a present? You just


    need to tell Tommy, and he’ll arrange it.”


    Sophia sighed secretly. ‘He’s still the same old Jeremy. He never takes my birthday present seriously.


    But this time, I’m not going to ask him for a present.’


    “You can give me whatever you want, Jeremy. But there’s something I want you to help me with.”


    Jeremy looked up at her. “What?”


    Sophia smiled innocently. “Well… This will be the first time I’ll be having my birthday here, so I want to


    have a birthday party. But…I don’t have a lot of friends or family here, so can you ask some of your


    friends toe to the party? It’s my wish that I’ll have lots of people to celebrate with me!”


    ‘Oh, that’s not too hard,’ thought Jeremy, so he nodded and said, “Sure. I’ll ask Zeke to invite all the


    people he knows.”


    Sophia was really happy. She smiled and said, “Oh, thank you so much, Jeremy! Back in Molomia, my


    friends and I would party till the morning! But I don’t have any friends here, and I’m not really that


    familiar with Zeke and your friends, so I feel somewhat embarrassed to ask them. It’s great that you’re


    willing to help me out!”


    Jeremy picked up his coffee and sipped it absent-mindedly.
