All Chapters of Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Just as I thought, red suits you perfectly." Sawyer narrowed his fox-like eyes as he gave Sophia a once over.The dress was a slightly darker red and had some patterns on it which set off her crisscrossing scars that were exposed. There was a trace of charm to her appearance now.Sophia dropped her head and stared at the ground without a word."I've always wanted to taste you from the moment I saw you, but ignorant people always got in the way." Sawyer approached her gradually, his gaze moving back and forth on her exquisite and delicate body. "No one is going to stand in my way now.""Say, if Charles learns that I’ve slept with you, will he still want..."He swallowed the two remaining words back in when he saw Sophia’s face after she lifted her head suddenly.Sawyer took several steps back while wearing a look of disgust on his face. He looked at her red and swollen face. He asked, "What happened to your face?""Someone beat me up," Sophia muttered, lowering her head again.

"What did you say?" Sawyer raised his voice sharply.Before Sophia could say anything, one of the men said cautiously, "When we brought Ms. White over, the driver in that car told us that they’re Master Harris’ men."Sawyer did not say anything. Blood drained from his face at once.Sophia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She said with a mild countenance, "The Jones and Harris families may have agreed to form an alliance through marriage and Leah may have been chosen as the nominal granddaughter-in-law of the Harris family, but..."She stroked her belly, her eyes softening. "I’m pregnant with Master Harris' great-grandson. It has been two months now."Sawyer followed her eyes, his gaze falling on her inconspicuous belly. Feeling as though he had eaten a fly, he cursed under his breath."Also, I’m sure you know that Master Harris has stage four lung cancer without much time left to live. He wants to see his first great-grandson before he

"Come back!" Just as Rocky was about to leave after pulling the door open, Sawyer called out to him with a sullen look on his face.Sophia stroked her belly over and over again, her face full of affection. She did not even spare Sawyer and Rocky a glance."I’ve already brought you here anyway. Whether I record a video of you or send you home directly, I’ll end up offending the Harris family either way. So why don't I just record a video of you and then send you back?" Sawyer pinched her chin. "What do you think, Ms. White?"Sophia's limbs turned weak. Sawyer was still planning to record a video of her!She took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "I was in a car accident but was fortunate enough to be rescued after Mr. Phillips sent his men over. Or else, I might have lost my child even if I survived.""I don't believe that you would be so kind," Sawyer said slowly.Sophia said, "You simply asked your men to send me here and change my clothes, Mr. Phillips. No harm has been done to

"Thank you, Dr. Hemingway. I’m already happy enough that you’re willing to treat my leg." Sophia tugged at her lips.Victor nodded slightly. "It’s time for you to do your check-up today. Don't forget to come over later."It had only been less than a week since the last check-up. He was clearly saying so to help her find an excuse to leave."Thank you, Dr. Hemingway. I will go over after Mr. Phillips delivers these things to Master Harris," Sophia said.She clenched the hem of her clothes slightly. The sweat on her palms was no less than the amount of sweat she had when she was dealing with Sawyer alone.They were about to meet Master Harris soon. It was not easy to fool him as she did Sawyer! What was more, while she was dealing with Master Harris, she also had to prevent Sawyer from pulling the rug from under her feet… This was no easy feat at all.Sawyer was carrying a bunch of nutritional products in his hands. When he heard the meaningless exchange between the two, impatience

After sweeping his gaze rapidly across those standing at the door, Master Harris’ eyes fell on Sophia. His gaze was one that was certainly not amiable.The sweat on Sophia's forehead was suddenly falling like the rain. She dropped her head and tried her best to wipe the sweat from her forehead while looking as natural as possible."I’m really sorry for interrupting your rest, Grandpa Harris." Sawyer looked Master Harris up and down. A look of pleasant surprise was concealed in the depth of his eyes when he noticed how Master Harris was full of energy, yet he seemed a lot thinner and quite unwell too.Master Harris then shifted his gaze away from Sophia and fixed it on him. "Who are you?""Dad, this is the boy from the Phillips family." Next to him, Oscar explained whilst chuckling.After hearing what he said, Master Harris’ already sullen expression turned even more sullen. His eyes flickered past Sawyer as he said, "What’s a Phillips like you doing here alone? You’re here to see

"If you know that he’s tactless, then why didn’t you help him out as his eldest brother? If you could just pay more attention to prompting him when he can’t catch up in the company, then he wouldn’t have made a fool out of himself by making those silly mistakes!" Master Harris chided.Oscar said yes to everything he said over and over again. "It’s all my fault. I will pay more attention in the future."Sophia’s grandparents were from the countryside. She would only meet them once every Lunar New Year. They only had one child and that was her father. Her maternal grandparents, on the other hand, had passed away a long time ago. Similarly, they only had one child and that was her mother.Therefore, she had only heard others talking about how biased an elder could be but was never able to imagine it. After seeing the way Master Harris behaved today, she finally knew how biased a person could really be.She tugged at her lips at the thought of this. Self-deprecation was written all ove

Charles did not even glance at the ward and brought her to a doctor to treat the wound on her face.After the wound was treated, Charles took her hand without a word and walked out.Sophia frowned and swung his hand away. “Won’t you regret doing this?”"Why should I regret?" Charles asked, lowering his gaze to look at the emerging slap marks on her face. "Who did this? Grandpa’s men or Mr. Phillips’ men?"Sophia furrowed her brows so hard that a vertical wrinkle had formed. She stressed her words, "You don't need to do this."After a pause, she added, "I will never forgive you.""... You must be tired after the entire ordeal, right?" A dim glow flickered in Charles' eyes, but it went back to normal in no time. "Let's go."He reached out in an attempt to pull her.Sophia pulled her hand back, avoiding his touch. "I'm going to check my leg. You go on ahead."Having said that, she started toward one side of the corridor.Charles pursed his lips, ran his fingers several times thr

“Please do your best no matter what, Dr. Hemingway. I will give you anything you want as long as it is within my ability," Charles said.Victor looked at him and sneered. “I can obtain the things that you can give me all by myself, Mr. Harris."There seemed to be clashing swords when they engaged in a staredown."Are we having acupuncture today?" Sophia broke the silence.It was only then did Victor retract his gaze. He looked at her leg several times and said, "Let’s not be too hasty. Why don’t you come again the day after tomorrow?""Okay. Thank you, Dr. Hemingway," Sophia said. She and Charles left the hospital in silence. On the way, his damp blouse had attracted many curious and blunt stares.At the entrance of the hospital, a Bentley was parked there with a large part of its front dented.Looking at the car with a large patch of its paint scraped off as well as a broken headlight and rearview mirror, Sophia pursed her lips. She was hesitant to speak."Not this one. It’s t

"Master Harris, my daughter may be insensible, but you as an elder promised to send her away yet ended up tricking her into prison. I just..." James said with great distress. After a choke, he said, "Don’t you think you’ve gone a little too far this time?"Sterling looked sullen. He tried to open his mouth to speak several times but was stopped from doing so by Nicole.Jenny was wiping her tears with her handkerchief. Her voice sounded choked and hoarse. "You’re a person who could have been Soph’s grandpa. How can you be so cruel to her? How can you have no compassion at all?”"Jenny..." James tried to stop her.However, Jenny smacked him away and said with tearful eyes, "I understand that Soph made a mistake when Charles sent her to prison back then. Right now, she’s just trying to leave. How can you trick her into prison after you’ve agreed to take her away?"East Suburb Prison—is that even a place for humans?"Master Harris, the Harris family may be a huge household with a maj

When she saw how botched Ted's trick was, Yvette chuckled and walked away to talk to the rest of the Harris family."Did you just say that I can't get anything, Uncle Ted?" Charles smiled and said, "I’m the president of Harris Corporation, so I managed to earn a good amount of money from working so hard. Besides, I hold only three percent shares working for a bunch of pests...""You can't say that." Feeling uncomfortable after hearing the word ‘pests’, Ted said, "You just told me that you didn’t want to give up on the position of president, didn’t you?"Charles put his hand on his shoulder and patted it. "That was then. I’ve come around now. I will marry a woman I like, and when she gives birth, I will be able to get more shares. What’s more, someone else will be taking the position of the president. I don’t even have to do anything besides sitting around and collecting money.”Ted's expression changed unpredictably. No one knew what he was thinking about. After that, he said that
