No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 646 - 644 Too Cruel [1 More]

However, seeing Christopher Scott being extremely polite to Miss River, even personally serving her tea, it appears from an outsider’s perspective that Christopher has a good impression of Miss River.

Sophia Bennett sat in her car with her stomach growling, too scared to get out, so she could only watch from afar as Christopher Scott chatted and laughed with other girls.

Since Sophia Bennett met Christopher Scott, this was the first time she saw him being so courteous to a girl approaching him.

In the past, his eyes were only on Seven Murray. After Seven Murray got married, he seemed to see nobody.

But now, the cold and aloof Christopher Scott seemed to have changed; not only did he smile, but he was smiling quite happily.

Sophia Bennett stared at Christopher Scott intently, watching him smile so joyfully, yet she felt increasingly uncomfortable, her heart grew heavier, and her eyes started to redden involuntarily.

Sophia Bennett felt at a loss, unsure of what she could do to win back Christopher Scott.

That man seemed so familiar, yet when he smiled at other women, he felt so strange to her, as if she had never known him.

She didn’t understand why he could smile at a stranger and be nice to others but not give her a chance? Not even a chance to get to know her.

Sophia Bennett took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Christopher Scott, you are too cruel to me."

As soon as Sophia Bennett’s words fell, tears began to patter onto the steering wheel.

Inside the restaurant, Christopher Scott listened to the girl’s little joke and raised a polite smile at the corner of his mouth, his peripheral vision falling on the car outside the window.

He saw Sophia Bennett sitting in the car, her head raised, staring intensely at them, yet making no move at all.

Christopher Scott took a deep breath, thinking Sophia Bennett would burst in, loudly objecting to his blind date, leaving him a bit surprised by her patience.

At that moment, Christopher Scott even hoped Sophia Bennett would come in and stir up trouble, so that he could say those harsh words he had prepared for her, to hurt her feelings and make her stop pestering him.

However, until the dinner was about to end, Sophia Bennett did not come in to cause trouble.

Christopher Scott found Sophia Bennett enigmatic; this wasn’t like her character. He wondered if his performance was not enough to make Sophia Bennett jealous? Yet he was already quite harmonious with Sarah River.

Christopher Scott furrowed his brow tightly. As he pretended to inadvertently turn his head to look out the window, he saw Sophia Bennett start her vehicle, preparing to leave.

Sophia Bennett’s departure left Christopher Scott a bit dumbfounded, disrupting his plan. He had intended to use the blind date opportunity to stir things up with Sophia Bennett, making her give up her feelings for him, and simultaneously letting Sarah River see their entanglement, prompting her to back off.

However, his plan to kill two birds with one stone was thus thwarted.

Across the table, Sarah River noticed Christopher Scott staring out the window in a daze. She smiled and gently asked, "Christopher, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the girl’s question, Christopher quickly turned around, glanced at the girl, and said indifferently with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Nothing."

Immediately afterward, he raised his left hand, looked at the time on his watch, and said calmly, "Miss River, I still have some things to do at the company tonight."

Since Sophia Bennett did not come to make trouble, Christopher naturally was not interested in continuing the blind date.

Sarah River saw Christopher Scott was about to leave; she didn’t try to hold him back and simply smiled and said, "Okay! You go ahead and focus on your work."

Afterward, Christopher Scott paid the bill and got up to leave.

Sarah River watched Christopher’s hurried manner, sitting in the chair biting her lower lip. She could not decipher what Christopher’s sudden change of attitude meant. Did it mean he was not interested in her? But what then was the enthusiasm he had shown earlier?

Sarah River had a good impression of Christopher Scott and wanted to continue to date him.

"Christopher." Thus, gathering her courage, she called out to him and asked, "Can we still have meals and chat together in the future?"

Obviously, she was subconsciously asking if Christopher was interested in her, willing to continue to develop their relationship and give each other a chance.

Hearing the girl’s question, Christopher hesitated for a moment, and suddenly Sophia Bennett’s image flashed in his mind; he thought, if he had a good relationship with Sarah River, Sophia Bennett should let go of her persistence towards him. He still remembered her saying that if he liked another girl, she would withdraw.

As for Sarah River, she was considerate and more mature than Sophia Bennett; if he didn’t want to continue the relationship, she wouldn’t cling on stubbornly.

Therefore, he smiled at her politely and said, "We can be friends first, and get to know each other better."

Christopher’s words didn’t offer Sarah River complete hope, just a willingness to know her as a friend, not necessarily developing into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Although doing this wasn’t great for Sarah River, Christopher had no other choice; he wanted to get rid of Sophia Bennett, so this was all he could do.

Sarah River, hearing Christopher’s answer, smiled immediately and said, "Hmm! Even if it’s just as ordinary friends, I’m happy to know you."

Sarah River was more mature and sensible than Sophia Bennett; she knew what kind of woman men liked, especially wealthy young men who would undoubtedly prefer considerate and undemanding girls. She met Christopher Scott with great difficulty, and it would be a pity if it were merely a one-meal acquaintance.

Even if she can’t be a lover, being friends with Christopher Scott is also a good outcome.

Hearing the girl’s words, Christopher felt less pressure, thinking that being friends with such a considerate woman was much more relaxed than knowing Sophia Bennett.

After they said goodbye, Christopher drove back to the company.

Meanwhile, Sophia Bennett was crying like a teary-eyed person, unsure whether to continue.

She clearly felt that Christopher was quite fond of Sarah River and the two would certainly have subsequent stories.

Christopher’s attitude towards Sarah River was much better than towards her, which made Sophia very uneasy, lacking any sense of security.

When she got home, Sophia hugged the pillow, lay motionless on the bed, considering whether she should talk to Christopher Scott to ask him directly if he liked Sarah River.

However, what troubled her was that she didn’t know with what position she could ask Christopher, and Christopher would surely mock her.

She wasn’t sure if her current fragile heart could endure another blow from Christopher.

As time passed, Sophia’s determination to retreat slowly faded away.

She told herself that she had persisted for this long, and Christopher was merely on a blind date; if she were to give up now, wouldn’t all the time chasing Christopher end up in vain? Perhaps he’s just being a bit polite to others and nothing more, not planning to start a romantic relationship.

Even if Christopher intends to date Sarah River, what does it matter? It’s not marriage. She can still wait, wait until Christopher truly pledges his heart, wait until there’s not a shred of hope left for her; it wouldn’t be too late to give up then.

After thinking it through, Sophia Bennett hurriedly grabbed her phone, ready to send the last text message of the day.
