S31 41. Testing Sophia’s Patience

With a casual gesture, Frank motioned for the driver to get off.

“Can you drive it, Sir? Trucks are different from regular cars.”

The old driver sounded worried. He didn’t want the vehicle to support his family having problems. If the pay wasn’t so big, he wouldn’t have allowed someone else to drive.

“Don’t worry, Sir. I can even fly a plane.”

In a blink of an eye, Frank got behind the wheel. Then he easily brought the truck in. Sophia was waiting on the porch.

“Welcome, Frank Harper. I am glad you come to visit my house.” Sophia smiled sweetly.

Frank snorted faintly. “I came to visit my mother,” he emphasized, before slamming the truck door.

“Isn’t that the same thing?” Sophia raised an eyebrow then swung her palm backwards. “Please come in. I have prepared dinner to welcome

you.”

“It seems you still don’t understand. I came to visit my mother, not accompany you to dinner.”

The curve of Sophia’s lips turned stiff. “Would it hurt if we had dinner first? Your mother just fell asleep. She didn’t have time to rest this afternoon. You couldn’t possibly have the heart to wake her up, right?”

“Then, you’d better order your men to take my mother’s things down now. So when my mother wakes up, we can immediately arrange them.”

Sophia blinked with a frozen expression. “Can’t you relax for a

“No,” Frank shook his head firmly, “I can’t accept your invitation to dinner if the truck hasn’t been unloaded. I don’t want to increase my

debt.”

Sophia let out a faint breath. However, the twinkle in her eyes grew brighter. The harder Frank was to her, the greater her desire to conquer him.

“How about we just take the middle way? I’ll tell my men to unload the truck, but you have to eat with me while they’re working.”

Frank lowered his eyebrows for a moment. “That makes sense,” he muttered, making Sophia’s smile widen.
