Sophia hugged her arms as she glanced sideways at Lisa. She was afraid that the woman was going to put her niece, Sofie, forward as a suitable partner for Evan.

Fat chance.

 
 

Sophia was not about to let her have her way.

Hence, she immediately threw a direct wrench into Lisa’s schemes.

“Your suggestion may be a sound one, but I’m concerned that the prospective party would be like Sofie with Evan– Unable to develop mutual feelings for each other despite being acquainted for many years. If that’s the case, I’m afraid that this plan might backfire badly, causing Evan to become increasingly attached to Nicole.”

 

Sophia’s suggestion was met with silence.

 

Lisa had not counted on Sophia saying that.

Her face darkened. “Perhaps that could be where Evan and Sofie differ. Once Evan’s ill-fated alliance with Nicole ends, the relationship between Evan and Sofie will surely blossom.”

 

“You’ve sure had it all figured out. In any case, it is Evan’s decision to make, if he wants to be engaged to Sofie.”

“Then, we ought to give Sofie a chance to get closer to Evan. If she is able to win Evan over, I shall approve of her joining the Seet family.”
