Chapter 980 - 976: Encountering a Thorny Problem (4 Updates)
"Eva Miller!" Sophie Smith called her name seriously, "We, we weren’t doing that just now, what were you thinking?""Huh?"
Eva Miller suddenly looked up, and sure enough, they were both fully clothed.
"Then, why were you moaning so loudly just now, so... so suggestively..." Eva Miller’s voice grew quieter as she spoke.
Suggestively?
Did she really?
Perhaps it was her own impure thoughts.
Sophie Smith cast her gaze at the culprit lazily leaning against the headboard, Asher Land.
A glimpse of a charming curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, with no intent of explaining at all.
She had just mentioned that her shoulders were a bit sore, and Asher Land insisted on giving her a massage. A massage would have been fine, but who would have known that his hands would be so strong, it really hurt her...
Eva Miller chuckled awkwardly and dashed away.
Sophie Smith picked up a cushion from the sofa and fiercely hurled it at Asher Land sitting on the bed, damn it, he had really embarrassed her just now.
...
After lunch, Sophie Smith and Eva Miller strolled through the garden at the Land Family’s villa.
The warm sunshine, the scent of flowers wafting to their noses...
Sophie Smith took a deep breath, relishing this rare moment of leisure.
She had been troubled by so many things recently, Wyatt Sterling’s death, Irene Morton’s kidnapping and coercion, her own blindness, Asher Land’s surgery...
Now, she finally had time to catch her breath.
She sat on the garden bench, slightly raised her head, and extended her hand to block the glaring sun.
"Sophie, I... I’m in a tricky situation..."
Eva Miller put away her recently lively demeanor, suddenly becoming serious.
"Oh?" Sophie was a bit surprised, "Is there really something tricky for you?"
Indeed, there weren’t many things that she found tricky, after all, Eva Miller was fearless, adaptable, but...
Once she encountered Oliver Johnson, her composure would crumble.
"A few days ago, I met, met Brother Johnson..." Eva Miller lowered her head and spoke softly. Sophie didn’t initially react, but a few seconds later, she suddenly realized.
"Brother Johnson? Oliver Johnson?" Sophie covered her mouth in surprise, "How could it be such a coincidence, is he in the United States too?"
Since the last time they went to pick him up after he was released from prison early, Sophie and Eva hadn’t received any news about Oliver Johnson. Now, Eva was saying she met him in the United States...
Eva simply nodded.
"So what did you say to him? Is he doing okay?" Sophie felt a bit bitter inside.
Back then, it was Henry Johnson who orchestrated the kidnapping of Christopher Smith to threaten Asher Land. Christopher, unable to think it through, jumped to his death, and Oliver Johnson took the fall for Henry, spending four years in prison for nothing...
Sophie felt in her heart that she owed Oliver Johnson.
At that time, when Christopher was seriously ill, he was also trying his best to care for him.
He wasn’t bad to her, except for using her to get at Asher Land.
...
Sophie turned her head and noticed that Eva’s eyes were red, with tears falling from the corners.
Truth be told, Sophie couldn’t quite grasp the depth of Eva’s feelings for Oliver Johnson.
Having finally found Oliver Johnson, logically speaking, Eva should be happy, but now...
"Eva, did something happen? Tell me, please don’t cry, okay?"
