Chapter 124 A Good Show
Mrs. Donovan was anxious and intended to run away but it was impossible. Sophie had arrived at the entrance of the store, and Mrs. Donovan would face Sophie directly if she ran out, so she could only hide.
Therefore, Mrs. Donovan put down her chopsticks calmly and said to Teresa and Gwendolyn, "I'm full. I have to use the washroom."
With that, she got up and said as she walked towards the washroom, "I'm old, it'll take me half an hour to use the washroom."
Teresa and Gwendolyn, "......"
"Teresa, are you there?"
Mrs. Donovan had just left, and Sophie entered.
Sophie rushed in and carried a net of sea shrimp in her left hand and a net of sea crabs in her right hand.
"Teresa, take this. It's so heavy."
Sophie was from a wealthy family. She usually had all she needed at home, so she never worked. She felt that it was really heavy when she carried in two nets of shrimps and crabs.
When Teresa and Gwendolyn saw this, they hurried up and helped her to carry the two big nets of seafood that she was holding.
"What are you doing, Miss Lisbon?"
Sophie's hands were bare. She shook her arms a few times and said, "It's heavy. My hands are sore."
"I told you before I left on vacation, didn't I? I will bring you some seafood to try when I come back. We caught some fresh seafood while out at sea fishing, so I had people wrap them up specially. I chose the biggest one, and I bring it to you once I return."
Teresa laughed as she looked at the two big nets of shrimps and crabs, "Miss Lisbon, you've given away too much."
"It's not much, you can raise it and eat it slowly, or handle it first and then freeze it in the refrigerator and eat it when you want."
"I still have more in the car, you two go carry it, I don't have the strength. Whose child is this? He's adorable."
Sophie reached out her hand and touched Andy's face.
"He's my sister's son. My sister is not free, so she sends Andy over to me to help her look after him."
"He's adorable, and he looks a little familiar when I look at him. Have I seen your sister? Oh, I've seen the photos of you guys as kids."
Teresa laughed, "Andy resembles my sister. It's understandable for Miss Lisbon to feel a little familiar because the photo of me with my sister was posted online and it went on a trending topic."
Sophie nodded and did not think much about it.
Gwendolyn and Teresa went outside to have a look after they heard that Sophie's luxury car still had a lot of seafood in it. They discovered that the seafood had stuffed the car. Some of them were fresh and some were sun-dried. Squid and other seafood that was sun-dried can also be stored in the refrigerator and eaten over time.
"Miss Lisbon, I'm grateful."
Teresa thought that it was a lot.
Sophie was generous and said, "It's nothing and it's not expensive. It's good if you like it. We are destined to be friends. I treat you as a friend, so there's nothing to worry about. Hurry up and move the things, your store has a refrigerator, right? If you don't have a refrigerator, I'll call someone to deliver you two refrigerators right now."
"Yes, we have."
It was merely small.
How could Teresa let Sophie send her two more refrigerators?
Teresa put all the fresh seafood in the kitchen and prepared to have a seafood feast in the morning and afternoon.
The dried seafood was placed inside the fridge.
"Are you two only having breakfast now?"
Sophie saw the dishes on the table that had not been cleaned up, as well as the uneaten breakfast, so she asked casually.
"We just finished eating."
Gwendolyn was busy cleaning up the dishes, and Sophie asked curiously, "There are four sets of dishes, is there anyone else?"
Gwendolyn said while cleaning up, "It's Teresa's husband's grandmother, she's in the washroom."
"Oh," Sophie did not ask further.
Sophie was aware of the fact that Teresa was married. She even asked her brother to fire Petter because of the trending topic. Sophie knew more than anyone about the conflict between Teresa and the Heller family and she knew that Teresa was married.
However, few people outside were aware of it.
Sophie was not a busybody, and she did not bother Teresa's marriage.
After Gwendolyn cleaned up the table, Teresa poured a glass of water for Sophie.
"Miss Lisbon, how could you leave on vacation and return so quickly?"
"I'm worried about my sweetheart. I accompanied my parents to play at the beach for two days and came back last night. Teresa, I'm telling you, I successfully blocked Young Master Donovan's car this morning using the way you taught me."
Sophie was eager to share her success with Teresa.
Teresa laughed, "Really? Have you talked to him? Young Master Donovan helped you, right?"
"He helped and he didn't."
Sophie was upset for a short while and said, "I didn't talk to him. He refused to get off the car and believed I was going to seduce him. My car broke down and I planned to get in his car, but he wouldn't let me, so I didn't."
"The good thing is that he let his bodyguards get out of the car and moved my car that is broke down purposely to the side so that it won't block the way. He helped me halfway. I tried your way, and it was only half successful."
Sophie was soon happy again, at least Hubert prevented her car from parking there, and allowed the bodyguard to help to move her car to the side.
This showed that Hubert was not a hard-hearted person.
Sophie was confident that if she persisted, Hubert would eventually allow her to get in his car one day.
"It's a pity that I wasn't able to speak with him alone in his car."
Sophie sighed.
"I was hoping to have an excuse to buy him dinner and thank him for the ride when I got into his car, but I didn't get the chance."
Teresa chuckled, "Who said you had no opportunity and excuse? Didn't he send his bodyguards to help you move your car? You can still use this as an excuse to find him, invite him to dinner, or send him gifts in appreciation."
Sophie listened with her eyes glaring widely.
"That's right, why hadn't I considered this before?"
Teresa teased her, "You want to attain your target easily, so you didn't think of this detail."
Sophie was not offended by her teasing and said generously, "I've been secretly in love with him for years. I'm torn in the middle, and I forced myself to give up, but I couldn't because I loved him too much. Finally, I gathered enough courage to pick him up. When love is excessive, desire increases even farther."
She was eager to marry Hubert and obtain the marriage certificate right away so they could start living as a married couple.
Mrs. Donovan who was hiding from Sophie in the washroom could also hear the conversation between Sophie and Teresa. Mainly because they were honest with one another and did not guard against one another, they did not lower their speaking volume.
Mrs. Donovan was not so old that she was deaf and could not hear, so she heard their conversation.
Mrs. Donovan was surprised by Teresa who advised Sophie to pursue Hubert.
This... was a good show!
Mrs. Donovan was gloating instead of worrying about her grandson, who acted poor to deceive Teresa.
