Chapter 177 16 Million Dollars

Simon closed his restaurant for a day and set up a big table of food to celebrate for Sonya.

“Jay took his wife home, and Henry won’t be here. Just us four. Simon cooked a lot; we should eat plenty,” Jasmine said, smiling awkwardly.

Sonya ignored the name. “Why is Simon still cooking? We have enough food.”

“Just one more soup, almost done.” Jasmine gestured. “Also, ask your friend to join us.”

She meant Leo, who was on the phone under the tree that stood across the street.

Sonya waved, but he didn’t notice, so she went to get him. He was still on the phone with his back to her, sounding angry.

As she reached him and was about to tap him on the shoulder, he yelled, “Julian, someone else killed your mom, not Sonya. She doesn’t need to compensate you at all! I know you’re broke and need money, but have some dignity. Sonya owes you nothing!”

Julian was on the line. Sonya hesitated, then took a deep breath and tapped Leo’s shoulder.

Leo turned to see her, looking embarrassed.

“I’ll call you back…”

Sonya took the phone before he could hang up.

“Julian, it’s me.”

There was a brief silence, and then Julian said in a rough voice, “I’m picking a cemetery for my

mom.”

“So?”

“I can’t afford even the cheapest one!”

“So what?”

“You should at least buy a cemetery plot for my mom, so she can rest in peace.”

“Why should I?”

“Sonya!”

“I’m serious. Why should I buy a cemetery plot for

your

mom?”

“We had eight years together.”

“We’re not together anymore.”

“We still have feelings for each other, right?”

“I don’t have any feelings for you anymore.”

“My mom died in your place.”

“I’m also very uneasy about this.”

“You…”

“How much do you want?” Sonya abruptly asked. “You’ll give me money?”

“Tell me the amount.”

“16 million dollars.”

“You really have the nerve to ask for that much.”

“It can be lower.”

“Okay, 16 million dollars.”

Julian was shocked, clearly not expecting Sonya to agree so quickly.
