Chapter 169 Unexpected Surprise

Sophia quickly waved her hand. "No, you've got the wrong person, Mr. Cross. Director Thorne is looking for me, I need to go." Watching her leave, Gilbert scratched his head. "I swear I've seen her before, just can't place it. My memory's getting worse." Alexander smirked. "Better forget about my arranged marriage too."

"Not a chance. Mr. Sinclair's here, I owe him an explanation. His granddaughter's in City B. You should meet her and set a wedding date."

"You meet her, I'm busy." He gave some instructions to the nurse and headed back to his office.

Dean Sinclair stayed in the hospital for a few days. Sophia sneaked a few glances at him but never got caught.

When he was discharged, she tried to get another look but saw Alexander in the ward instead.

Dean looked at him calmly. "You really won't meet my granddaughter? She's very pretty and used to love playing with you."

Alexander shrugged. "Mr. Sinclair, that was ages ago. I can't remember who was who. Besides, I'm already into someone else, so no need to worry."

Dean raised an eyebrow. "Are you serious or just avoiding the arranged marriage?"

"Serious. She's my colleague and very pretty. I appreciate your trust, but your granddaughter and I aren't a match."

Dean sighed. "Alright, I'll talk to your grandfather and call off the engagement. Whoever you marry is your business now."

Seeing her grandfather's disappointment, Sophia felt a mix of emotions and quietly backed out of the ward.

On Christmas Eve, City B got hit with a heavy snowfall, canceling all flights.

Sebastian's plan to come back for Christmas fell through. Joey stood on the balcony, feeling sad when she heard the news.

Her voice was muffled. "Alright, I'll go to sleep then, I won't wait for you."

Sebastian saw her teary eyes and smiled. "Do you miss me?"

"No," Joey shook her head.
