Theo said coldly. âDo I look like Iâm in the mood for jokes?â
Sophia shrugged. âWhy not? Ellinor may be having a blast somewhere right now. Why the long face?â
Theo frowned. âEnough! Itâs late. Go find a room to sleep in!â
Sophia shook her head. âYou wonât let me crash here, and your sister wonât let me in her room, so where else can I go? Considering my luck, thereâs no way Iâm sleeping in your guestroom!â
Disgust flashed in Theoâs eyes. âOnly you would believe in that fortune-telling crap!â
âYes! I do believe in it! Thatâs why Iâm not going to the guestroom! I bet youâll be up all night missing Ellinor, so how about you lend me this room? Iâll find a hotel tomorrow!â
3 2 3 3 2 Ã 2 7 8 F B F 8 2 âNope.â
Sophia glared at him. âHumph! Stingy much? Ellinor wouldnât care if another woman slept in your bed!
She dumped you anyway!â
Theoâs face had turned quite ugly. He had always given her some respect because theyâd been friends for years, and she once did him a huge favor.
But now his face was as black as thunder.
âIf you donât leave, donât blame me for kicking you out!â
Sophia shrugged. âTheo, donât try to scare me! I know you! You wouldnât do that to me! But Iâm done messing with you for now. Iâll just go watch TV on your couch all night! Bye!â
With that, Sophia turned and strutted out.
Theo didnât stop her, nor did he give her a second glance. He looked up at the sky, wondering where Ellinor was and what she was doing Worrying about her safety was more important than being angry at her now.
Just as Sophia left the room, she ran into Veronica, who was looking for someone.
After seeing Sophia come out of her brotherâs room, Veronica immediately got upset and placed her hands on her hips. âHey! What were you doing sneaking into my brotherâs room in the middle of the night? Youâre up to no good! The issues between my brother and Ellinor are definitely your fault!â
Sophia didnât care. âVeronica, watch your mouth! I wanted to sleep in your room, but youâve dumped me on the floor several times, so I had to leave! Iâve already said I canât sleep in the guestroom, so I had to crash in Theoâs room!â
Veronica didnât buy it. âCanât sleep in the guestroom? I think thatâs just your excuse! You shameless woman, you just wanted an excuse to sleep in my brotherâs room! Your excuse is not smart at all!
Youâre leaving our house tomorrow! Youâre not welcome!â
Sophia retorted. âWhether I stay or not is not up to you! Itâs up to your brother! And your grandmother seems to like me! She even asked you to clear your room for me, donât you remember? Itâs just that you didnât cooperate, didnât want to move out, and insisted on squeezing into the same room with me! If I tell your grandmother about this, she will definitely ask you to move out and let me stay in your room.
Do you believe me or not?â
Veronica was furious; she couldnât understand why her grandmother wanted to keep this woman she disliked at home. Her brother and Ellinor were already facing a relationship crisis, so why added fuel to the fire?
âI donât believe you! Who knows what shameless tactics you used to deceive my grandmother? My grandmother loves me the most, and as long as I say you bullied me, she will immediately kick you out.
Do you believe me or not?â
Sophia chuckled provocatively. âHaha! I really donât believe you! I suggest you go tell your grandmother that I bullied you and see if she believes you!â
Veronica was about to explode. âAh! Where did you come from, you disgusting woman?! How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?!
