However, Sarah River wasn’t his type, and no matter how much Sophia Bennett mimicked her, he still wouldn’t like her.
Ti ticked by, mories constantly washing over Christopher Scott’s mind, but his impression of Sophia Bennett remained unchanged, and he never considered trying to develop anything with her.
Sophia Bennett sat across from Christopher Scott, watching the man’s furrowed brow, holding her breath in nervous anticipation. She hoped he would rember her goodness, even if just a little.
Sophia Bennett noticed Christopher Scott’s gaze falling on the tir on her phone, and she couldn’t help but also look towards the tir.
She saw that 2:08 minutes had passed, and in less than a minute, she and Christopher Scott would have to co to a conclusion.
Sophia Bennett had thought it through, if Christopher Scott still disliked her as always and there wasn’t a shred of hope, she would give up and stop making herself a nuisance to him.
After pursuing Christopher Scott for so long without any improvent in their relationship, it would be a lie to say Sophia didn’t mind, but at this point, there was nothing more she could do for him than let go.
No matter how unwilling she was, and even if she doubted she could ever like anyone else again, she could only give up.
Sophia Bennett stared intently at the tir, almost wishing ti would stop at this very mont, allowing her to sit in front of Christopher Scott forever, just watching him.
But ti was beyond her control, no matter how hard she prayed, three minutes passed quickly.
When the ti reached 3:00, Sophia Bennett quickly grabbed her phone and pressed the pause button, not a second more, not a second less, just as precisely as the ti she hung up the phone every week.
Opposite Sophia, Christopher Scott was montarily stunned by the girl’s actions. Then he casually looked up at her, seeing her calm deanor with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
This was the first ti Christopher Scott saw Sophia Bennett like this; he had never noticed she could be so composed.
When Sophia Bennett looked at Christopher Scott, their eyes t, and she smiled at him, calmly asking: "Christopher Scott, have you thought about it just now? Have you thought about getting to know , understanding ?"
Hearing her question, Christopher Scott’s lips curled into a cold smile, and his voice was filled with sarcasm.
His reaction clearly indicated his attitude, still dismissive of Sophia Bennett.
Sophia disregarded Christopher Scott’s attitude and earnestly looked at him, asking: "Christopher Scott, do I still have a chance?"
Listening to Sophia’s calm voice, Christopher Scott looked at her again, seeing her furrowed brow and nervous expression.
At that mont, Christopher Scott had already withdrawn from his mories. The current Sophia Bennett still annoyed him, and he never considered understanding her further.
Therefore, Christopher said coldly: "Sophia Bennett, don’t waste your efforts. I don’t like you, no matter what you do or what you beco, I will never like you."
Hearing Christopher Scott’s answer, Sophia Bennett took a deep breath.
For a mont, her heart seed to stop, and she couldn’t catch her breath.
She stared at Christopher Scott, unable to look away for a long ti.
She had thought that when Christopher Scott was watching the tir, he would consider her, think of her good points, but this ti, she was indulging in her illusions again, overthinking it.
Watching the cold gaze of Christopher Scott, although she knew what she did wasn’t wise and only pushed Christopher further away, she was too tired to mock herself, just giving him a bitter smile.
For a mont, she didn’t know what to say, only knowing that Christopher Scott had no feelings for her.
After being stunned for a mont, Sophia felt her eyes begin to water, seeing the disdain in the man’s eyes.
Sophia forced a smile, unwilling to be underestimated or ridiculed by Christopher Scott anymore.
Thus, she forced a smile to make herself look composed.
Sophia held back the ache in her eyes, her expression becoming stiff.
Even though the result was within her expectations, she was still hurt, deeply wounded, but at least she got an answer, at least she shattered the last bit of longing.
The presence of Sarah River intensified Sophia’s sense of inferiority, making her want to escape, making her regret why she liked this cold-hearted man.
After a mont of hesitation, Sophia finally smiled and said to Christopher Scott: "Yeah! I understand."
Then she hastily grabbed her phone, saying: "Well... um... you probably don’t want to have dinner with , right? Then I’ll settle the bill, sorry to have wasted your ti."
She then signaled for the waiter, gave them three hundred yuan, and paid for the coffee.
Christopher Scott watched Sophia’s series of actions, feeling a bit puzzled by what ga she was playing today and what this conversation ant. Was she planning to give up? Or would she act as if she hadn’t heard the words he just said?
Christopher Scott squinted slightly, staring at Sophia for a mont. Sophia didn’t give him any answers, just smiled and said: "Um, if you have sothing to do, you can go ahead. I’ve said what I wanted to say, sorry to have troubled you."
In Sophia’s last two sentences, she didn’t even call him by his na, instead using "um."
All of a sudden, she felt that ntioning Christopher Scott’s na would inexplicably hurt her heart, a deep sadness she’d rather avoid. So, she didn’t want to say his na, didn’t want to keep looking at him; although she had just hoped for ti to stop so she could look at Christopher Scott a little longer.
But at this mont, looking at Christopher Scott even for an extra second would break her heart.
Christopher Scott was even more baffled by Sophia Bennett’s repeated apologies and her words to dismiss him.
However, he never bothered to ask about Sophia’s thoughts; after all, he never cared about them.
If this farce made Sophia give up chasing him, it would be a great thing, sparing him the trouble of speaking more with her.
So, unhurriedly, he stood up from his chair, rolled his eyes at Sophia indifferently, and walked out of the restaurant as if nothing had happened.
As Christopher Scott passed by Sophia Bennett, her tears instantly welled up and flowed uncontrollably.
Christopher Scott left, and she could no longer hold back her emotions. Hearing the man’s footsteps fading away, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife; she wished to get up and chase after him, embrace him tightly, plead for him not to be so heartless, not to hate her so much, but she knew doing so would only make Christopher Scott despise her more.
She was tired of being hated by him, so she let the tears fall on her body, biting her lower lip to suppress the impulse in her heart, and let Christopher Scott leave just like that.
She had told herself this was the last ti she would entangle Christopher Scott; if he still hated her, she would have to let go, no matter how much her heart couldn’t bear it.
