Xante met countless wives of rich men, and many of them were powerless to stop their husbands from having
affairs with other women. Most of them looked the other way, but few were as unbothered about it as Sophia.
As Xante kept quiet, Sophia reminded kindly, “Be realistic. It’s tiring to live in a fantasy world.”
“Be realistic about what?” Xante did not understand what Sophia meant.
Sophia smiled and said, “I’m talking about Sunny. He’s a young boy who’s just come of age. I bet he made plenty of
promises to you. Don’t take them too seriously. Men are fickle; their feelings come and go. Once they lose interest,
they’ll act as if you don’t even exist!”
Xante was startled for a moment. She did not need to be reminded of such things as she was aware of that. Sunny
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpestered her incessantly because she was his first love. It was a refreshing new feeling for him, so feelings of love
and whatnot were rather out of the question.
She was not an 18-year-old girl, so she knew better than to take Sunny’s feelings too seriously. Life could be very
boring for her at times, so she was glad to have a little pet—so to speak—that she could occasionally spend time
with to relieve her boredom and loneliness.
As time passed, she did not even need to chase Sunny away. He himself would get tired of her and leave.
“Thank you for your reminder, Miss Sophia. I’m already full, so carry on without me. Do convey my thanks to Mister
Jeremy as well. I have some matters to handle at the company, so if you’ll excuse me.”
She put down her cutleries and got up.
Sophia blinked. “Going so soon? Won’t you wait for Sunny?”
Xante walked out of the restaurant without responding.
Sunny came back from the bathroom to discover that Xante had left. He immediately frowned and asked, “Where’s
Xante?”
Sophia said, “She mentioned that she had some matters to handle at the company and had to leave. Where’s
Jeremy? Why didn’t he come back with you?”
Sunny hurriedly said, “He went out to smoke. Please excuse me, then!”
“Aren’t you eating?” Sophia asked.
Sunny waved his hand without turning around. He hurried out to catch up with his girlfriend.
Sophia smiled as she looked at Sunny’s figure. She then got up and went to the bathroom to look for Jeremy.
When Sunny ran to the underground parking lot, he was relieved to find Xante’s car still there. He walked over in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrush and opened the door. After getting in the car, he grumbled, “Why did you leave without waiting for me? I
thought you left! We haven’t even eaten yet!”
Xante was busy typing a message on her cell phone. After sending the text, she turned and looked at Sunny with an
unhappy expression. “I waited for you, didn’t I?”
Sunny let out a child-like snort. “But I haven’t eaten much at all! I’m still hungry!”
Xante placed her phone down and leaned over to kiss his cheek. “Would you like to eat something else?”
Sunny blushed at the kiss. “Like what?”
“Like me.” Xante had a half-smile as she adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles. “Would you like to eat me?”
