Fall in Love with A Soldier

Chapter 62 How Could He Face It

Reeva was confused, “How did you come downstairs? Didn’t your brother come from hometown, and today he came back again without telling me.”

“I…” Elizabeth did not what to say. She had not introduced Hugo to Reeva till now, if she said she had got married and lived with her husband upstairs, would it be awkward?

“Your brother has told me about your story.” Reeva looked at Elizabeth with sympathy and then she added, “I think, it will be better if we live separately… after all, you are not brother and sister.”

So that was Reeva cared.

Elizabeth forced a smile and nodded.

In the past, Reeva was nice to her, because she was the sister of Anthony.

If they were not brother and sister, it was indeed awkward to live with them.

At this, Elizabeth took out her key to the house where she rented with Anthony to Reeva.

“Your stuff...” Reeva asked.

Elizabeth interrupted her with a smile, “I have not too many things in the house.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“What about your quilt and slipper?”

“Throw them away.”

“Ok.”

After the door of the elevator opened, Elizabeth and Reeva parted.

Reeva was no longer her sister-in-law.

In addition to Hugo, in this city, she felt she had no one to rely on.

The manager’s office in DL Estate Building

“Mr. Hugo, here is your tea.” Ben, the assistant put a clay colored ceramic teacup lightly on Hugo’s desk.

At that moment, Hugo was reading the document and did not notice the tea up. As he turned the page, the tea cup leaned over and got the desk wet.

Seeing that, Ben took the tissue from the desk, strode over to wipe it and he apologized, “I should not put the cup here.”

“Never mind, I don’t drink eat. After reading these papers, I have to go to the headquarters.” Hugo closed the document and got up.

“Are you leaving?” Ben wiped clean the desk and then asked with doubts, “You have an internal meeting in half an hour.”

“Put it off to the afternoon.” Hugo said lightly. He now only thought about the things related to his brother Jasper.

His brother would have a routine check in the headquarter, should he go and meet him?

He got up and left his office.

As he came out form his exclusive elevator, he looked up and saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

Probably, it was telepathy, the woman turned around.

She was not as thin as before.

Her skin was good, her eyes were bright and her smile was clean. Her curly black hair was beautiful. She folded her arms with a LV bag.

Hugo could not help but frown. As he was in daze, Sofia stepped on her silver high heel and walked to him with a smile, “Hugo.”

Sofia raised her hand and took Hugo’s hand, shook it in the air like his girlfriend.

She felt his hand was as warm as before, which was unforgettable.

Since Hannah the deputy director of the finance department stuck around Hugo, other women would stay away from him.

One time, Elizabeth was understood by Hannah and was targeted secretly.

Now, there was a woman again. Several female staff passing by the hall looked Sofia up and down with gossip.

Sofia was uncomfortable by being stared, but she was peacockish with a smile. She looked at Hugo and complaint with a soft voice, “Hugo, why didn’t you pick me up? I…”

Hugo frowned and took back his hand from Sofia and then interrupted her with a cold tone, “Miss Rogers, please show respect.”

Sofia was dumbfounded. She stared at Hugo’s indifferent face for a long time. It was she made a mistake first, so she stepped back, lowed her eyes sadly and said in a polite and estranged voice, “Mr. Hugo, do you have time to have lunch with me? I have something to tell you.”

“No.” Huge refused her directly, passed around her and strode to the door.

Sofia did not give up and caught up with him and once again took Hugo’s hand. Feeling wronged, she got moist in eyes. She said in a hoarse voice, lowering her gesture, “Please, Hugo.”

Hugo still did not want to pay attention to her. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his eyes on the hand holding his hand.

He did not resist again. Sofia was pleased, raising her eyebrows, “Hugo, I do have something to tell you. Actually…”

“I have no interest.” Hugo came back to his sense and interrupted her before she could finish her words.

Then he glanced at her hand holding his, pressed his lips and then shook it off with force.

It was a great force and unconsciously he pushed her away.

Sofia staggered. She did not stand stably on her high heels and then fell behind with that force.

Hugo did not bear to see that, so he hurried to stretched out, caught her should, so she did not fall down.

Sofia was pleased and took the advantage to lean to his chest. She looked up at his doubtful eyes pitifully.

It had been five years they had not met each other, and he became more excellent.

He was now the manager of the DL Estate and a well-known national architect.

Sofia remembered that when they were high school students, Hugo’s handsome face had attracted much attention from many girls. Now he became better looking, making her infatuated. By a glance, she was attracted.

“Hugo, please… let me finish, ok? I had a reason when I left you. Don’t you want to know why?” As Hugo was silent, Sofia tried to finish her words.
