Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride

Chapter 1121 - 1117: One Kiss and I’ll Drop It

Evander Lancaster gave Sophia Hamilton a once-over, his phoenix eyes slightly lifted, shaking his head with a wry smile. Was it him who was abandoned by the times, or were kids these days getting so brazen? Clearly, she had hit him, yet she still dared to be so rude.Interesting.

Raising an eyebrow, he leisurely approached Sophia. With the advantage of his height, Evander looked down at the defiant young girl in front of him, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said,

"Whether I stole it or it’s my boss’s, now that you’ve hit my car, tell me, how are you going to compensate me? Claim insurance, or will you pay out of pocket first?"

Sophia Hamilton...

Initially holding her chin up proudly, refusing to back down under Evander’s gaze, she deflated the moment the topic of compensation came up.

Her face fell, and with a sigh, her shoulders drooped, her tone softening as she spoke, "Handsome, can we discuss something?"

"Speak!" Evander slightly raised an eyebrow. The two were so close that he could see the fine fuzz on the girl’s cheeks.

A cute doll face with very fair, soft skin, big eyes, and a pouting pink mouth giving an adorable pitiful look. He wasn’t sure if she was wearing foundation, but he knew she wasn’t wearing lip gloss because her pouting lips were a healthy, light pink, very plump and inviting.

Evander’s Adam’s apple shifted imperceptibly. Since high school, he had never felt the desire to kiss a woman, but at this moment, he felt a sudden impulse to kiss those soft lips.

"Look, the car isn’t yours anyway. You can tell your boss that you hit my car. Such an expensive car must have full insurance, right? So, insurance covers the repair cost, and then I’ll give you some extra compensation. I promise not to tell your boss," Sophia tentatively suggested her idea.

Evander...

Raised an eyebrow again, looking at Sophia with a half-smile, not saying a word.

Seeing Evander’s attitude, especially with his phoenix eyes lingering on her face, Sophia felt a flicker of hope in her heart, thinking she might have a chance.

Her face was quite attractive, or else that pervert wouldn’t have taken a fancy to her.

Since she had such a good resource, why not use it? If she could avoid compensation by sacrificing a bit of charm, why not?

With these thoughts in mind, Sophia immediately grabbed Evander’s arm, swaying it slightly as she pouted and pleaded, "Pretty please, handsome? After all, it isn’t your car, and the insurance company will take care of it. Look at me, I’m so young, how could I afford such compensation? If my family found out I caused trouble, they might kill me,"

Seeing Sophia’s lovable look, Evander raised an eyebrow and asked, "How old are you?"

Sophia Hamilton...

Hesitated for a moment before saying, "Twenty-three." She actually wanted to say eighteen but didn’t have the face to do so. Saying she was twenty-three seemed more believable since job interviews often asked if she was of age.

"Are you sure you’re an adult?" Evander raised his eyebrows again with a teasing, somewhat incredulous look.

Sophia puffed her cheeks and nodded, "Mm-hmm."

Their cars were parked at an intersection. Even though it wasn’t rush hour, vehicles still passed by. Standing beside the bumper-kissed cars, they ignored the honking from passing cars, chatting as if discussing daily life instead of calling the police to handle the situation.

Evander lowered his phoenix eyes and once again took a good look at Sophia from head to toe, asking, "If you cause trouble, will you get hit at home?"

Sophia Hamilton...

Bit her lip, nodding as she said pitifully, "I don’t know how much your car costs, but I know it’s not cheap. People like us can work a lifetime and still not earn enough to buy a car."

Evander didn’t say anything. It was late autumn, and wearing just a jacket, he felt a bit cold after standing on the street for so long. He looked over Sophia once more. Even in a heavier coat, her prominent features couldn’t be ignored.

Raising a handsome brow, Evander mischievously curled his lips, "Seeing your sincere repentance, I’m reluctantly willing to agree, but..."

"But what?" Hearing she wouldn’t have to compensate, Sophia’s almond eyes lit up immediately.

"Well..."

Evander took his hands out of his pants pockets. Sophia let go of his arm and took an instinctive step back. Evander crossed one arm over his chest and placed a hand on his chin. Meeting Sophia’s bright eyes with a frown and a devilish smile, he leaned close to her ear and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "How about this, you give me a kiss, and I won’t pursue this any further."

Sophia Hamilton...

Jumped back instinctively, the joy in her eyes replaced by surprise, which quickly transformed into anger. She glared at Evander fiercely.

"What? Unwilling?" Evander pretended to be in a difficult spot, then faintly smiled and said, "Forget it, I’ll just call the police to handle it."

Speaking, he pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket, pretending to dial while muttering to himself, "Sigh, I wonder how much it will cost to repair such an expensive car. Maybe ten or twenty thousand."

Sophia Hamilton...

Her almond eyes widened as she rushed forward to block Evander, "Come on, don’t call the police, I’ll kiss you, okay?"

That’s a joke; she already lost her job and didn’t know how to explain it to her mom. Now, having to compensate tens of thousands would be a killer blow for her and her mother.

"No need to force yourself," Evander said slyly, holding the phone in his hand, watching Sophia with a half-smile.

The latter’s face turned white, and she quickly licked her lips, anxiously saying, "No pressure, kissing a handsome guy like you is a win for me."

"Really?"

Evander raised his eyebrows with a playful smile. Sophia quickly nodded, "Mm-hmm,"

"Then go ahead." Without more ado, Evander slightly leaned down and pointed to his cheek. Given Sophia’s petite stature in front of him, wearing flat little boots, her head barely reached his shoulder, so he had to bend down as much as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Sophia hesitated for a heartbeat before resolutely closing her eyes, raising herself on tiptoe, and puckering her lips. However, the sensation on her lips felt softer than skin, something like...

Opening her eyes abruptly, Sophia saw a teasing wide face in front of her.

It took two seconds to react. Once she processed it, she leaped back, covering her lips and glaring at Evander with a mix of anger and embarrassment. "You pervert..."

Evander straightened up, folding his arms, playing with his lip with his thumb, and also licking his thin lips with his tongue, looking at Sophia with an amused, unsated expression.
