Tony carried Sophia on his back and walked into the house with a dark look on his face.
Donald frowned and scolded, "How much alcohol did you pour into Sophia? Why is she so drunk?"
"She wanted to drink it herself. She couldn't handle it after just three glasses," Tony argued.
"Bullshit! Sophia has never gone to that kind of place to drink. Don't think I can't guess what's on your mind," Donald cursed unceremoniously.
After all, they were both men. How could this guy hide his little thoughts from him?
"..." Tony was on the verge of crying. He thought to himself, "Didn't you old man see the lip prints all over my face? It's not like I put my face up to them on my own, right?"
After they got home, Catherine helped Sophia and said, "I'll take Sophia to your room to rest first. You're not allowed to take her drinking again next time, young man."
"Let Sophia rest in the guest room. Why take her to his room?" Donald said with some dissatisfaction.
Catherine nodded with a smile, understanding what her husband meant.
Donald then looked at Tony and said earnestly, "I know you've liked her for a few years, but you can't be impatient about some things. It has to be voluntary on her part."
"If you come up with any more bad ideas, I'll break your three legs."
"You're overthinking it, old man. I'm really not interested in her."
"Who are you interested in then? Evelyn from the Vanlode family? Or the girl from the Rossi family?"
"..." Tony thought that either option was a dead end.
Apart from the Thomson family, the other three of the four major families in Milan all had beautiful women that had Yegor's eyes on.
It could be said that this guy conquered these three major families by chasing girls.
This was also the most absurd part of cool novels. Were these noble families really so shameless?
Could they tolerate their own daughters and other women serving one person and also pouring all the family resources into that person? Nonsense!
After being lectured by his father while having his ear pulled for a long time, Tony finally escaped the fate of being beaten.
Back in his room, after washing up, he lay down on the bed worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and fell into a sound sleep.
The life of the rich was just so simple, unpretentious, and boring.
...
After Catherine left the guest room, Sophia, who had already fallen asleep, slowly opened her eyes.
She had sobered up by now.
Or rather, she hadn't been that drunk in the first place.
When she was in the car, although she was drunk, she still had her wits about her.
But under the influence of alcohol, she didn't really want to stay rational.
She wanted to follow her instincts more and do and say things that she usually didn't dare to.
She also tried to take off her mask like this guy.
But now that she was completely sober, she felt really embarrassed when she thought about it.
She just wanted to talk to him. How did she end up... taking the initiative to kiss that guy?
"Oh no. I won't be able to face anyone tomorrow," she sighed softly, covering her flushed face. She shouldn't have drunk at all.
Thinking about this, she tossed and turned in bed until almost three o'clock before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, a knock on the door woke her up from her sleep.
"Sophia, are you awake? It's time for breakfast," Catherine's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, Auntie," Sophia rubbed her sleepy eyes and replied. Reluctantly, she got up and washed up.
Because she hadn't slept well, the dark circles under her eyes were quite noticeable.
When she walked out, she happened to bump into Tony, who was wearing pajamas.
Tony was full of energy, but his expression was a bit strange when he saw Sophia. He casually greeted her, "Good morning."
[Why is this woman staring at me? Could it be that she remembered what happened last night?]
[Alas, she's a drunk lunatic. I'll never drink with her again next time. Otherwise, my pure and innocent body won't be safe.]
Hearing Tony's inner thoughts, Sophia's face started to feel hot again as she remembered what had happened in the car last night.
She didn't dare to look directly into Tony's eyes. She said "Good morning" and walked forward with her head down.
[Oh yeah! This is the reaction you should have. Be a bit colder towards me, you know?]
[The female lead should act like a female lead. I'll reluctantly forgive you for what happened yesterday.]
Tony followed behind, feeling rather pleased, thinking that this woman finally seemed normal.
When the two of them walked to the dining table, breakfast was already laid out on the table.
Today's breakfast was cooked by Catherine herself early in the morning. She didn't even let the chef do it.
After all, this was the first time their future daughter-in-law was having breakfast at home, so she had to give her some special treatment.
"Good morning, Uncle and Auntie," Sophia greeted Tony's parents when she arrived.
"Good morning, Sophia," the two of them greeted Sophia with smiles in unison.
They were quite satisfied with Sophia. This girl was beautiful and capable, but her personality... was a bit cold, which made their son act like a licking dog for three years.
Tony also greeted them, pulled out a chair and sat down, then picked up a piece of bread and started eating.
"What are you doing? Just eating by yourself. Get some for Sophia first," Catherine said with some dissatisfaction when she saw Tony eating with his head down.
"If she wants to eat, she can get it herself. She's not a child," Tony pouted.
[There's no way I'm going to serve her food. Not in this lifetime.]
[Eat if you want, or leave it. I'm not interested in taking care of someone else's harem.]
[Women! They'll only interfere with my plan to survive until the end!]
Hearing Tony's inner thoughts, Sophia suddenly felt a bit angry.
This bastard, it's just a piece of bread! It's not like he's losing anything by getting it for her!
She said with an apologetic and gentle look, "It's okay, Uncle and Auntie. I can get it myself. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble by drinking too much yesterday."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's all this kid's fault for being such a bad guy and insisting on taking you drinking. Next time he forces you to drink, tell Uncle, and Uncle will beat him to death," Donald said amiably.
"Really, it wasn't him who took me drinking. You can ask Lucas if you don't believe me," Tony said with a look of disbelief.
"Yes, it was me who insisted on going with him to drink. It's my fault. Uncle, please don't scold him," Sophia said with a pouting lip and a look of grievance.
When she said this, Donald and Catherine became even more satisfied with her.
Look, this future daughter-in-law was so considerate and understanding.
She was willing to lie just to keep this kid from being scolded.
[Damn it! You're starting to play me again, right, you damn woman?]
[You're even coming here to win over my parents. Damn it! Is there really a need to act like this?]
[I get it. You're deliberately setting me up. You don't want to bear the pressure of breaking off the engagement and want me to take the blame, right?]
[You devious and cunning woman. Damn it! I give up!]
After thinking about it in his heart, Tony finally understood.
After eating a piece of bread, he said, "Dad, Mom, as you can see, we two don't really get along. I think maybe the arranged marriage thing should still..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Donald had already taken out his belt and looked at Tony sideways, saying, "What did you say?"
Tony swallowed the rest of the sentence obediently.
It wasn't appropriate to get beaten early in the morning.
