Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 840 - 836: Farewell, to a Certain Beautiful Time

As expected, after hearing Sophie Smith’s words, Isabella Yates’ face turned pale.

Yes, she really hadn’t thought it through earlier. If she wanted to deal with Sophie Smith, she could take her time. Just now, in front of so many people, she had so many takes that made it clear to everyone that she was just a talentless pretty face, right?

Seeing Isabella Yates’ expression, Sophie thought to herself that she should now know she was wrong. If she refused to see that, she might end up spending the whole night in the rain here tonight.

Sophie rested in the dressing room for a while and then decided to get up and go out.

"Cough, cough..." She couldn’t stop coughing and her steps were a bit unsteady.

"Sophie, are you okay?" Julia Brown, seeing her not looking well, was also a bit worried. "Why not postpone shooting tonight? Isabella Yates is in no shape to act and it’s dragging you down."

"It’s fine, I believe she’ll get it in one take this time." Sophie gave a helpless smile, steadied herself, and walked out again.

This time, Isabella Yates didn’t disappoint. She finally managed to deliver those five lines completely.

After filming the scene, Sophie changed clothes, dried her hair, and prepared to go home.

"I’m sorry, Sophie." Edward Harrison suddenly walked over, with guilt in his eyes. Earlier, when Isabella Yates and Sophie were filming their scene, he had been watching from the side. He knew full well that Isabella Yates was doing it on purpose. He had taken her aside and talked to her several times, telling her not to act that way, but there was nothing he could do, Isabella just wouldn’t listen.

In the past few years of being around her, Edward knew very well what kind of temper she had.

"Edward, this has nothing to do with you," Sophie smiled, pretending to be nonchalant. "Well, it’s getting late, I should be heading back."

"Are you driving yourself?" Edward was a bit worried. "Would you like me to give you a ride?"

"No need." If Isabella Yates knew Edward sent her home, she might have an outburst like a volcano.

"Sophie, please don’t refuse me? I have no ulterior motives towards you. I just want to express a bit of friendship between us, can’t I?" Edward’s tone was rather helpless.

Sophie shook her head.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to get closer to Edward, she just truly felt that they both had their own lives now. She knew what kind of person Isabella Yates was, so if she and Edward got entangled again, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.

"Asher Land will be coming to pick me up tonight, so don’t worry about me."

Asher Land?

Edward’s body tensed up, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He lowered his gaze, said goodbye to her, and stepped away.

Goodbye, Edward.

Her heart felt sour and bitter; she had to say goodbye to a once beautiful time.

...

Dragging her exhausted body home, Alexander was already asleep.

She walked to the bedside and looked at the little guy sleeping soundly, a wave of tenderness surged in her heart.

Her work was so busy that she didn’t have time to be with him, which made her feel extremely distressed. She just hoped the days when the three of them were happily together as a family would come soon.

She took a shower in the bathroom, feeling her head foggy, like there were countless overlapping images, but none that she could clearly see.

She practically groped her way to the bedside, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

Her body was icy cold, no matter how she lay, she couldn’t get warm.
