Uncontrollable Fondness

Chapter 51 Haven’t Had Relations in Bed

Though the contract was for only a year and she will go back to the city after a year, she felt uneasy

whenever she thought about how difficult it was for the children. The kids in the city enjoyed the high

technology times while the kids in the village still had to struggle for the chance to study even at the

expense of their health. What can she do about this?

This Hope primary school was rather large. It can accommodate the children of eight villages but they

didn’t have a dorm nor a canteen. Some of the children had to travel tens of kilometers every day to

attend school.

After dinner, Mia went to the principal’s office and mentioned the issue.

The principal pondered for a while and with an embarrassed expression, “When the school was built,

these features were considered. But then the allocated money wasn’t enough and the matter wasn’t

pursued. To add on a canteen and dorm would need a significant amount of money. Where can we find

this amount of money?”

Mia clenched her teeth for a while before finding the courage to ask, “Roughly how much money?”

“About a million.”

She regretted that she didn’t take her card along. The million-plus that William gave was in that card. It

was enough to build a canteen and a dorm for the kids. At that time she felt that money was

meaningless to her and that’s why she left it at the hospital.

Sigh…

But the kids’ difficulty needed a solution.

Mia thought for a while and then tried a suggestion, “Perhaps we can go online to seek some

donations. Perhaps it will work.”

The principal didn’t know the internet. She knew that she couldn’t explain properly and simply said, “No

matter what, let me try it out.”

Agree.

William and James sat on the reclining chair enjoying the massage. Each had a glass of red wine and

drank as they chatted.

“How are things between you and Sophia?”

James asked nonchalantly as he took a sip of wine.

Eyebrows slightly raised and with a sip of wine, William replied emotionlessly, “As usual, not bad.”

“Not bad, why did Sophia cry yesterday?” James didn’t believe, frowned, and looked sternly at William,

“Did you bully her?”

“No.” He looked into the glass and twirled the wine within. His expression becomes gloomy. Yesterday

Sophia mentioned again about having a baby and seduced him only to be rejected by him.

In these three months, Sophia had always been very proactive but he didn’t feel anything.

“Both of you haven’t had relations in bed yet, have you?” The image of Sophia crying with a tear-

soaked face flashed across James’ mind. James was furious. If she wasn’t drunk, he wouldn’t have

known about this.

He smiled awkwardly and drank the entire glass of wine. That was considered an admission.

“Are you still thinking of Mia?” James was agitated and asked. William didn’t answer. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

In these three months, he didn’t touch Sophia nor did he touch other women. Although he started to

hurt when his desires were pent up but he still wasn’t willing to simply find someone to satisfy him. He

yearned for the feeling of Mia’s body and more so her shyness and coy demeanor. It was as if he was

poisoned. Even he was unsure of what was happening to him.

“William, if you don’t love Sophia, then release her early!” James said angrily as he drank the entire

glass of wine. His expression of disdain was covering the pain in his heart. From the first time he met

Sophia, he was fated to be her protector. Guarding her but unable to touch her through all these years.

Last night he revealed his feelings to Sophia, that he loved her and had always loved her.

Sophia slapped him and stumbled far away but he didn’t chase after her. He just followed behind until

she arrived home safely.

If Sophia was living in blissful happiness, he may let go but then Sophia wasn’t having a good life.

William angrily flung the wine glass onto the wall and it shattered with a sharp smash scaring the

masseuse to scream. She backed away not daring to approach him.

He stood up and straightened his clothes. William then forcibly glared at James and shouted, “What

goes on between Sophia and I is none of your business!” He turned and left in a fury.

He went into his car in anger and grabbed firmly his hair. William was unsure why he was so furious.

Was it because James blamed him for not caring about Sophia and interfered with his family matters

that caused him to be angry?

He grabbed the steering wheel strongly until the veins on his hand started to protrude. His nails turned

white, his jaw clenched firmly and his brain felt as if it was split open. All the suppressed memories of

Mia began to pour out.

“Damn it!” He stepped down hard on the accelerator and the car took off. He used the thrill of reckless

driving to forget Mia’s image.

He drove anxiously back home and as soon as he got out of the car, Sophia’s dainty beautiful face

came out to welcome him. She lunged into his embrace, “William dear, you’re finally back. I thought

that you were angry and didn’t want to come back.”

Looking at her smooth silky hair, William hugged her and forcibly suppressed his frustrations and said

lovingly, “How could I? Why would I be angry with you?”

He lifted her tear-soaked little face, Sophia was gentle and demure as she bit her lower lip. No matter

how one looked, she was just adorable and lovely. After hearing what William said, she hugged him

and apologized, “I’m sorry William dear, I know that you need time. I shouldn’t be so anxious and

shouldn’t force you. I’m sorry. I will never force you again.”

“Sophia.” His heart softened. William blamed himself, ‘You clearly have the world’s most perfect

woman, why are you thinking of others?’ He lowered his head to kiss her hair, and guaranteed, “I was

too tired due to work and that’s why I was distracted. Don’t worry, I’ll recover soon enough.”

“Okay, I’m not anxious.” Sophia nodded. Her face showed an obedient and understanding look.

“William dear, I can wait, just like you waited for me.”

Sophia’s generosity made him even more guilty. He held onto her and lovingly said, “Quickly go in, it’s

getting late. Rest early.”

Inside the house, Sophia took out a golden invitation card and said, “Three months ago my parents

already wanted to hold a ‘back to health’ banquet. I didn’t agree with it. Today my mother came again

and said that the banquet had already been prepared. She wants us to attend. William dear, will you

go?”

He took over the card and William looked towards her and nodded, “Of course I’ll go.”

After he tucked Sophia into bed, William went to the study and turned on the computer.

He casually browsed the news and there was pop-up news which caught his attention: The village kids

need your love.

He didn’t know what he was thinking and he was never interested in these but he clicked on the news

link. He read the news and saw the pictures of the village kids with a simple explanation. In the end, it

said that they hope that someone could help donate for a dorm and a canteen.

It ended with a bank account and the principal’s contact number.

William looked at the pictures and was dazed. He inadvertently thought of Mia and thought about how

she donated the five hundred thousand to a patient. He instinctively took out his phone and called

John, “Jot down this account number, and transfer a million over.”

John asked, “In whose name?”

He paused and he never participated in Charity. Only Sophia would do something with her parents.

Without thinking, he said, “In Missus’ name.”

Hans residence.

Sophia and William walked in together and attracted all the attention. Sophia wore a sky blue long

evening gown extending down below her high heels. It was exuded priceless elegance piercing into the

eyes of everyone present. Her hair was worn casually and it looked simple but yet elegant.

William wore his usual sky blue shirt matched with a black suit. His hair was short and neat. He was

dashing and handsome, tall, slim, and in good shape. He stood out in the crowd and easily became the

focus of attention.

The intimacy of them holding hands with the ten fingers intertwined made everyone envious of them.

“How blissful.” The group of people around Teddy and Mindy quickly said and praised. Teddy and

Mindy laughed heartily in satisfaction!

Many people continued to flow in inclusive of government officials, business leaders. Most came to

mingle and meet William.

When they saw how effective William’s presence was to attract the crowd, Teddy and Mindy laughed

joyously and were full of pride.

William and Sophia walked directly towards them and Teddy readily shook William’s hand while Mindy

hugged Sophia.

William calmly shook his hand and he never liked Teddy and his wife but he gave them the satisfaction

of his attendance for Sophia’s sake. They collected plenty of wealth and fame from their relationship

with him. Of course, he knew that but he treated it as a way to repay them for bringing up Sophia.

Teddy’s flattery of William was over the top and he didn’t act like a father-in-law.

Sophia was dragged to a group of wives for an introduction and immediately received a series of

praises.

“Wow, how radiant. You’re beautiful from all angles. You are truly fortunate.”

“I’ll be contented if my daughter is half as beautiful as your daughter.”

“Wow, she’s truly beautiful. With this gown, she’s elegant and exquisite, oh my, oh my.”

Sophia graciously accepted everyone’s praise. She tugged on her gown and said, “It’s more beautiful in

purple. William dear insisted that I wear this sky-blue gown which I don’t like.”

William was standing beside her and he frowned gently and looked towards Sophia momentarily.

Immediately he was pulled by Teddy towards the Mayor of the city.

Raising a beautiful daughter to have connections with an important figure like William. Mindy had

gotten praises that she could hope for. She grinning from ear to ear.

Zain Hans walked lazily down the stairs. He wore a flowery shirt with two undone buttons. Around his

neck was a thick necklace. He looked like a good for nothing rich kid. He was chewing gum and totally

disregarded the important people in the room.

He has Mindy’s facial features. Beautiful eyes and fine eyebrows, thin lips when smirked projected a

disdainful look to everyone.

Sophia turned and frowned when she saw him. Mindy already walked over and said, “What’s wrong

with you? Why don’t you change your clothes? Are you intentionally angering your father? Hurry up

and change!”

“Why should I change?!” Zain Hans was totally disinterested and didn’t care. He looked towards Sophia

and said, “This isn’t my celebration and has nothing to do with me.” He turned away unwilling to take

another look at Sophia.
