"Oh, you don't want to get married? Then we won't do it," Sophie said with a gentle smile. "Let's wait until you're not so busy. We can talk about it later."
Nathan felt a rush of emotion and reached out to place his hand firmly on Sophie's shoulder. His eyes were filled with frustration as he asked, "Do you not care about me anymore?"
Sophie, keeping her promise to Noah to avoid physical contact with another man, gently slipped out of Nathan's grip. "What about you? Do you truly love me?" she replied cautiously.
Nathan was taken aback. His mouth opened as if to speak, but no words came out. Deep down, he knew he didn't have genuine feelings for Sophie; he was just using her.
Nathan slowly relaxed his hands, trying to calm down. "We're already planning to get married, so why question our love? You'll be my wife soon. Can't you try to see things from my perspective? It wasn't easy for Amber to be nominated for the top ten model awards. Sophie, I'm just frustrated that you can't be more understanding."
Sophie took a step back, maintaining her composure. "Then you'll have to get used to the way I am now," she said calmly.
With that, Sophie turned and walked away, leaving Nathan standing there, bewildered and alone. As she exited the building, Nathan was left completely puzzled, unable to comprehend why Sophie's demeanor had shifted so drastically. After some thought, he convinced himself that she must still be jealous of his relationship with Amber.
Nathan didn't have the energy to chase after Sophie. Amber still needed his support, and Sophie was never one to make a fuss or cause others to worry about her.
He figured that once her anger subsided, she would probably return to her usual self. To him, Sophie had always seemed so passive, never having the courage to stand up for herself.
Meanwhile, Sophie knew that Nathan wouldn't come after her. Her heart had already given up on him. Instead, she hurried home to see Noah, feeling a warm glow in her heart at the thought of him.
"Sophie, I'll take you home first so you can recharge," Lisa said cheerfully. "Tomorrow, we'll be signing a contract for you to shoot on location."
"Lisa, why don't you cancel the lease on your place and move into my old home? You can give it some life, and feel free to change the locks. If Nathan asks, just tell him you've moved in to look after me, and it's no longer convenient for him to have the keys," Sophie suggested. "Tomorrow, I'll sign a new contract with you."
"Sounds good to me. I might even save some money this way," Lisa replied with a grin.
After their conversation, Lisa gave Sophie a teasing smile. "So, how's the famous Mr. Collider Scope Entertainment in that regard?"
"Don't be so nosy, okay?" Sophie replied, playfully glaring at Lisa.
