All Chapters of Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Aunty asked you to go over just to pass this to you?” Sophia White took over the two bags and asked with her eyes lowered.Victor Hemingway sat on the chair while placing her leg, poked full of needles like a porcupine, onto his leg. He rotated the needles with a serious expression. “Yup. She was asking about a topic I was researching recently as well, which took up some time.”Sophia White held on to the two bags in her hands with a subtly cold expression.The hospital director had just gotten Dr. Hemingway to meet her and Master Harris paid a visit. Such a coincidence with the timing!Victor Hemingway started removing the needles after a while and said, “I’m not on duty today. Let me see you home.”“Thank you, Dr. Hemingway,” Bamboo Virtues Village does not allow taxis to enter. It was twenty minutes less of walking if she took Dr. Hemingway’s car back.Victor Hemingway drove Sophia White back to Bamboo Virtues Village.“If Dr. Hemingway is willing, why don’t you come in for

Victor Hemingway looked at the crystal-clear cup of tea. “It must be good tea if it’s personally made by Mr. Harris.”With that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.“I’ve been troubling Dr. Hemingway with my girlfriend’s leg. I wouldn’t dare to neglect taking care of you,” said Charles Harris.Sophia White Frowned. She did not like it when Charles Harris referred to her as his girlfriend or his woman, but he seemed to enjoy using these terms recently, especially when facing Dr. Hemingway.“Neglect or no neglect, Mr. Harris, I would do my best to treat Miss White’s leg. However, I wouldn’t dare to guarantee if her leg would ever recover enough to be back to normal,” Vincent Hemingway placed his teacup down.Sophia White’s lips turned a little pale when she heard the last sentence as she grasped the corner of her sleeve.“I heard that Dr. Hemingway’s mentor is an expert in this field?” The look in Charles Harris’ eyes darkened.Victor Hemingway glanced at him. “I’ve consulted

Sophia White frowned as she entered the kitchen. There was freshly cooked lean meat congee placed on the counter as well as some side dishes.She pressed her lips and went to open the fridge. She closed it again after looking through all the different meat and vegetables in there, and returned to the counter.After having a simple meal, Sophia White suddenly remembered something. She returned to her room and took out her handphone, and started typing out a message for her brother.[I’ve discussed it over with Master Harris. He will send someone to take me away and he won’t allow Charles Harris to give you and sister-in-law any trouble. I’m not sure where I’ll be going but I’ll get in touch with both of you once I’m there.]Her fingers hovered above the ‘Send’ button once she was done typing, but she did not click on it in the end. Instead, she deleted the message word by word.Her brother was never one to keep things inside. If she told him about this, he would have done something

“I heard Master Lewis is marrying a woman one or two years younger than Leah. Oh my, I’d never expected Master Lewis to still be that active when he is up there in years!”“How would Mr. Jones refer to Miss Tiffany Lawrence after the wedding today? Grandma? How would anyone be able to refer to someone a few years younger than them as grandma?”“Master Lewis is indeed a man of literature. His ways are different from us commoners! Well done, well done!”“Mr. Lewis, marriage is a good thing. Why are you putting up such an unhappy look on your face?”“Mrs. Jones, let me just say that you shouldn’t feel unhappy. You should focus on getting Master Lewis some kidney supplements. If something were to happen to his health while on his nightly duties, it would end up becoming a joke.” The more she listened to these comments, the worse Mrs. Jones’ face looked. She finally could not take it and glared angrily as she rushed towards the guest dripping with sarcastic words, roaring, “Careful wi

William Jones had not reacted to anything so far, but he was slightly agitated when he heard Sophia White’s name. He opened his mouth, as if to ask a question, but when his gaze fell onto Leah Jones, he shut his mouth. There was pain and some struggle in his eyes.“…There’s some bad blood between Miss Lawrence and Sophia White. Why would she come today when we’ve specifically asked her not to attend? Did any of you give her an invitation?” Leah Jones could not bring herself to say the words ‘grandma’, and her gaze swept across a few people. It lingered on William Jones for quite a while.An obscure look crossed William Jones’ amber-colored eyes. “It wasn’t me.”There was some distance between him and sister, after all.Sophia White had wronged Leah Jones and he should not be thinking about her, nor should he had said those words to Sophia White… Leah had been disappointed with him when she heard those words. It was all his fault.“It doesn’t matter to me if Sophia White is here, b

Sophia White looked at her with a light expression. “Is that so? Congratulations to you.”With that, she did not even give the arrogant Tiffany Lawrence another look as she hung onto Charles Harris’ arms and said, “Let’s go in, Charles.”She gave Leah Jones a glance when she called out Charles Harris’ name.Leah Jones had now returned to her seat in the wheelchair as she watched Sophia White’s blatant challenge. She could hardly maintain the smile on her face.“Okay,” Charles Harris replied as he suddenly bent down.There was a warm sensation on her lips as a stunned look appeared in Sophia White’s eyes. Her hands were against his chest, attempting to push him off.“Leah and William Jones are still at the side,” Charles Harris held her waist and mumbled close into her ear. His lips brushed against her ear while he was speaking.The hands pushing against his chest softened as Sophia White frowned slightly. In the end, she kept her hands to herself, and obediently continued stayin

“… Let go of me first,” Sophia White’s neck was aching from the hug and she could hardly breathe.Clara Robertson finally let go of her as she pulled out a chair to sit next to her. She rested her chin on her hands while staring brightly at Sophia White. “Wow, how could there be someone so beautiful in this world. You’re literally a fairy who had descended to earth! You’re too pretty!”Sophia White, “…”The first two compliments sounded quite normal, but it got much too exaggerating at the end.“Speak normally,” said Sophia White.“Hehehe, I’m sincerely complimenting you! Don’t you know that you were shining so bright that it blinded everyone when you walked in with Big Iceberg today!”Sophia White, “…”“Since I’ve given you major compliments, can you tell me when would those videos of Tiffany Lawrence be released?” Clara Robertson asked as she hung on to her shoulder while smirking.Sophia White was not accustomed to such intimacy with others. She pushed Clara Robertso

“In your dreams!” Sophia stood in front of him, looking up at this father whom she had admired so much, and said with a low voice, “When I have no value to you, I’m simply brushed aside. When I have the value, you want me to be your daughter again…” She clenched her fists and gritted. “James White, do you think it’s going to be as easy as that? Do you think I’m still the fool I used to be?” “You…” James pointed at her with his finger, face pale. Sophia grabbed his finger, forced it down, curled her lips and said, “With so many people around, aren’t you afraid I’d cause a ruckus and ruin your reputation?” She no longer harbored any expectations for her biological father, but at the same time, she also did not wish for her brother and sister-in-law to be negatively impacted because of their father. James stared at her with wide eyes, clenched his teeth, and pulled his finger from her grasp, his face flushed with anger. “Besides, Charles is already looking in this direction. I

Charles looked at Sterling and said coldly, “You should be thankful that you’re Sophia’s brother.” “I’ve always been thankful to have such a good sister!” Sterling glared at him. “It’s unfortunate that she fell into the hands of a b*stard like you!” At this time, a few people approached Charles. Hearing Sterling’s words, they were taken aback and wondered if they should stay or leave. If the latter, it was not easy to meet Charles and they were unwilling to miss the chance. But if they stayed, the current situation was really inappropriate. “Sterling White, that’s enough!” Nicole was done being discreet, twisting Sterling’s ear and said, “Apologize to Mr. Harris at once!” He had embarrassed Charles in front of so many people. What if he turned around and took out his anger on Sophia instead? Sterling gritted his teeth in pain. He did not struggle but did not apologize either. “Gentlemen, are you looking for me?” Charles flicked a glance at Sterling and ignored him, turnin

“Sterling was asking me when I’m leaving tonight. He wants to visit the place where I’m staying now.” Sophia grabbed the hem of her skirt, a slight tremor in her voice. Charles raised an eyebrow. “Oh?” Sophia swallowed unnaturally, her heartbeat wild and deafening in her ears. What was that supposed to mean? “Harris, don’t be too cocky!” Sterling glared at Charles with his bloodshot eyes. “Even if Sophia is your girlfriend, there’s no need for her to tell you everything she told me! She’s a human, not your pet!” Charles glanced at him mildly, his eyes dark and fathomless. “Besides shouting, what else can you do?” “That’s none of your business!” Sterling gritted. Charles snorted softly, “Good-for-nothing.” “Who’s a good-for-nothing? I dare you to say that again…” Sterling never had a good impression of Charles. Even if a strand of his hair fell on the ground, Sterling felt it would affect his mood greatly. “Be quiet!” Nicole covered his mouth and chastised before turni
