Chapter 374: There are a Thousand Modes of Getting Along in Marriage
The round of auctions ends and everyone takes a twenty minute break.
Sophie Sabastian goes to greet Alicia, “Alicia, what a coincidence, I didn’t realize you were free to come here today.”
“Not a coincidence at all, I just knew you would be here and decided to come as well.” A smile appeared on Alicia’s face as she looked at Sophie Sabastian, “It’s really been a long time since we’ve seen each other, I didn’t think we’d be so busy now, obviously we both live in the same city and our homes aren’t far from each other, but we don’t have time to get together.”
“By the way, the red spots on your baby’s butt, are there still more?”
A smile also appeared on Sophie Sabastian’s face, “It’s gone. It’s really thanks to you, otherwise I would have panicked and had to take my child to the hospital.”
The two of them usually had nothing to talk about but about their children, and this meeting was about their children again.
Leonardo Cooper wanted to be nice and come out to have a world of two, but looking at this situation, it would be better to stay at home, at least he could find the baby as a topic of conversation to talk to Sophie Sabastian for a few moments.
“Let’s sit here.” Issac Shaw looked to Leonardo Cooper, “We can’t get in the middle of them women talking about this.”
Leonardo Cooper dropped into a seat.
Sophie Sabastian was engrossed in conversation with Alicia, a lot of the time, about the baby, the nanny and Alicia had said the same thing, but she just trusted what Alicia said, and as long as Alicia said so the baby was fine, she felt at ease.
The red spots on the baby’s buttocks are the same ones that have been pickled out by using diapers, and now that the baby doesn’t use diapers, the red spots have subsided.
“Our baby has been drooling extraordinarily lately, and up to now babbling only says mommy and daddy.”
Alicia had a worried look on her face, “I don’t know if this is a developmental delay and a lower IQ. I read that smart kids talk early.”
While they were having a very pleasant chat, a woman came up to Leonardo Cooper and took care of him and Issac Shaw.
“Hi Mr. Leonardo, President Shaw. how do you do, my name is Shirley.”
Leonardo Cooper lifted his eyelids and looked at her and didn’t say anything.
Issac Shaw did return a polite, “Hello. You look strange, I don’t think we know each other.”
“Uh-huh. But who doesn’t go from not knowing each other to knowing each other?” Shirley smiled daintily, “Is it hard, according to what you are saying now, that you don’t want to talk to me because we don’t know each other?”
On the surface his words meant this, but being asked by her bluntly, he would always give others some face and would not say it too bluntly.
“I’ve always admired Mr. Leonardo and President Shaw, so this trip to the privilege of being here for the banquet, I’m really glad to meet you.”
Issac Shaw raised an eyebrow and sized her up, “If you want to work together on business, you can talk to the company we belong to some other time. If you want to talk about something else, I’m sorry, but we’re both family men.”
And the family room was less than ten meters away from them, they were chatting like that, so maybe they could hear them.
Hearing her say it was from out of town, that’s why Issac Shaw had deliberately mentioned that they were family men.
But Shirley didn’t mind at all, she still had a petite smile on her face, “Those who are married can also get divorced. These days, the divorce rate is high, and anyone who doesn’t have a couple pairs of friends around who are divorced is out of sorts.”
“I like attractive men, and even more so, I like capable men, and where I am, there isn’t a single man who can match me, or if there are any who can, they’re all already married. So what can be done? There doesn’t seem to be much else I can do except hit on married men.”
That was some direct talk, and it did make them uncomfortable.
Seeing that both Issac Shaw and Leonardo Cooper were silent, Shirley looked at them and thought for a moment and said, “Before I came here, I looked at your wealth rankings, and Mr. Leonardo you’re a bit more capable than President Shaw.”
“Mr. Leonardo, I am the only daughter of Villa Group, the heir of Villa Group, do you want to consider me?”
Shirley’s eyes fell on Leonardo Cooper’s body, waiting for his answer.
Leonardo Cooper’s eyes were cold, and he just swept a faint glance at her, “You should go find someone who wants to use marriage to talk about business as much as you do.”
He dropped his words and was about to step towards Sophie Sabastian.
Shirley, however, was one step ahead of him, she raised her face, her eyes were unbelievably proud, “Mr. Leonardo, what do you mean, your marriage is not business, it’s love? As far as I know, Sophie Sabastian, she was also born into a good family, if her family didn’t have a company, Mr. Leonardo would you have chosen to marry her in the first place?”
“Or is there really love between you two? I don’t see it, you are so much older than Sophie Sabastian and it’s not like you haven’t had rumors with other women after your marriage. I’ve been following all those gossips of yours, Ewenny and Sophie Sabastian have two such similar faces, didn’t you choose Sophie Sabastian in the end because her family lineage is a bit more outstanding?”
“For people like us, who doesn’t want a face, who doesn’t want to find one that can match them?”
“Also, Sophie Sabastian has no love for you, Mr. Leonardo, I think. Rumor has it that her previous fiancé was your nephew, and she could have dated for a few years and immediately left and turned her head to be with you. Didn’t she pick you because you were more capable than your nephew?”
Leonardo Cooper frowned, impatience surfacing under his eyes, “Do you want to get out of here on your own, or do you want security to carry you out?”
“Shirley … Ms. Shirley is it.” Issac Shaw could see that Leonardo Cooper was angry, so he tried to persuade her, “You’d better hurry up and leave on your own, you’ll lose face if you’re carried out like this.”
Hearing them talking, Sophie Sabastian turned her face in Leonardo Cooper’s direction and saw a very pretty looking woman in her thirties standing in front of him.
She was wearing a black and purple evening gown, enchanting and full of nobility. I don’t know what they said, but by the look of Leonardo Cooper, he was angry.
Sophie Sabastian stepped towards Leonardo Cooper and asked him in confusion, “What’s wrong?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Before Leonardo Cooper could say anything, Shirley spoke up and stole the conversation, “I thought you and your husband weren’t compatible, so I had a few words with him.”
“He seemed to be a little upset and told me that your marriage was because of love. But I don’t think there is love between you. It’s like you, you had a child with him, but you didn’t get into his company, and even fewer public appearances with him.”
“A woman who really loves her husband should be too little to call ten times a day and be glued to her husband at all times.”
Sophie Sabastian listens to what she says and instead of getting angry, she finds something about Shirley to be laughable. She looked at Shirley, “I don’t suppose you’ve been married yet, this young lady?”
Shirley didn’t know what she meant by asking that, “Of course, I’ve never been married, so what?”
“That’s not surprising, when you’re married you’ll understand. There are a thousand ways to get along in a marriage, it’s just that we choose to give each other enough space and trust. We both live the way the other is most comfortable with.”
“The kind you’re talking about, the kind that calls ten times a day and sticks to her husband at all times, that kind doesn’t all mean she loves his husband, it also means that she doesn’t trust her husband, she’s insecure, so she wants to supervise his husband in that way.”
“Do you understand after all I’ve said?”
After all she and Leonardo Cooper had been through, the mode of getting along had never been that of being sweet and mushy or doing something else to test each other’s feelings for each other. After all, they had both experienced life and death, and they had to cherish their relationship more than anyone else.
Hearing her say this, Shirley was dumbfounded not being able to find words to retort, and after holding her tongue for a long time, she just said, “You guys can just guarantee that you won’t get divorced in your lifetime?”
At that, Sophie Sabastian didn’t reply to her again, but just smiled at her, and then looked at Leonardo Cooper, “Honey, I’m tired and I want to go back.”
“Hmm.” Leonardo Cooper wrapped his arm around her waist and led her away.
The auction, and all their stuff had been auctioned off, it was a little early to leave, but Kennedy wouldn’t say anything, he was too upset with Tatiana Stone right now to care about anything else.
Sophie Sabastian sat in the car, she turned her face and stared at Leonardo Cooper very formally for half a second, and asked, “Hubby, you said that you have a cold face all day long, so scary, how come there are still women who dare to mess with you?”
“Scary? You think it’s scary too?” Leonardo Cooper frowned his plump eyebrows and looked at her.
Sophie Sabastian replied without thinking, “Of course, I didn’t dare to talk to you because I thought you were scary. I even thought of avoiding you so that I wouldn’t meet you.”
Seeing the look on Leonardo Cooper’s face, Sophie Sabastian narrowed her eyes and smiled, “Can I tell you the truth? You won’t be offended if I tell the truth, will you?”
“If you didn’t act a little more intimidating with that face, I might have focused on your outside first in the first place instead of your inside. And since you’re so much older than me, I’d definitely resent you for being old if I focused on your outside.”
“What’s more, the fact that you’re like this all day long also makes me feel at ease with you, not worrying about you having a woman outside, which is also an advantage.”
Having said that, Sophie Sabastian came up to Leonardo Cooper and kissed him again.
It was only a sloppy moment before she withdrew, but she had just withdrawn a centimeter when Leonardo Cooper’s large palm clasped the back of her head and kissed her on the lips, taking in all of her breath.
After the kiss ended, Sophie Sabastian went limp in Leonardo Cooper’s arms as he looked at the woman in his arms, his eyes watery and seductive.
“Honey, it’s been a long time, since we’ve made love.” He said the words, his voice already husky and uncharacteristically full of lust.
From Sophie Sabastian after giving birth to the child, to now Leonardo Cooper did not touch her, before also considering her body problems, later is because she breastfeeding the child, two or three hours to feed the child once again milk, the night simply even sleep can not sleep well, where he dared to touch her?
