Chapter 26

Sophie Lawrence suddenly tightened her grip on the seatbelt, and her white teeth gently bit her lower lip.

Before hanging up the phone, Chloe Morgan also very considerately reminded her, "Then drive carefully and pay attention to safety."

Sophie Lawrence didn't know when she had turned to look out of the window. Her hands were still tightly clutching the seatbelt in front of her as if it was the only thing she could hold onto at the moment. Chloe Morgan's words kept echoing in her mind, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Suddenly, a clear male voice rang in her ear.

"Sophie Lawrence, if you keep pulling like this, my seatbelt will break."

Sophie Lawrence subconsciously looked down and found that her hands were tightly gripping Henry Mitchell's seatbelt. Immediately, her cheeks flushed, and her hands released as if they had been electrocuted.

Soon, the people from the Fire Brigade Station arrived.

Sophie Lawrence got out of the car, and Henry Mitchell directly started the car and drove away without any hesitation.

Sophie Lawrence stared blankly as the car merged into the traffic and finally disappeared from sight. Her eyes were full of loss and confusion, like an abandoned little animal.

Shortly after entering the Fire Brigade Station, Captain Oldman suddenly walked over.

"The political review has been passed. Although the position has been pre - approved, it has to wait for the public announcement in the second half of the year. During this period, you still need to stay in your original position."

Sophie Lawrence nodded obediently, "Thank you, Captain."

Captain Oldman patted Sophie Lawrence on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration and expectation, "Do a good job after the promotion and strive to become a minister."

...

During the afternoon training, Sophie Lawrence noticed that Frank Richardson was extremely excited, as if he had been injected with stimulants.

She called Mark aside and pointed at the exuberant Frank Richardson in the distance, "What's wrong with him?"

Mark casually looked over and burst out laughing, "When Frank Richardson was on vacation two days ago, he casually saved a girl. Afterwards, the girl insisted on being his girlfriend no matter what. Coincidentally, it was seen by Frank Richardson's girlfriend."

"Frank Richardson was terrified at that time. But his girlfriend didn't say a word and immediately gave him a French kiss right in front of that girl."

"Captain, you should have seen it. That girl was so angry at that time that her face turned green."

Sophie Lawrence's expression dimmed for a moment. How was this situation so similar to that between Chloe Morgan and Henry Mitchell?

"So what is Frank Richardson so happy about now?" Sophie Lawrence asked in confusion.

"He is happy that his girlfriend cares about him and believes in him."

"Doesn't he think that his girlfriend is over - thinking and meddling?"

Mark immediately affirmed, "Of course not!"

"Captain, I can tell you that boys like to see the person they like show possessiveness towards them the most."

A self - mocking smile floated on Sophie Lawrence's lips, and she subconsciously asked, "Really?"

Mark was stunned for a moment, but still nodded vigorously.

Sophie Lawrence lowered her eyes, "Okay, go to train."

Mark scratched his head and ran towards the training ground.

After the training, when she returned to the office, Sophie Lawrence took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Henry Mitchell.

"When do you get off work?"

Henry Mitchell should be busy and didn't reply immediately.

An hour later, Henry Mitchell sent a reply: "At eight o'clock in the evening."

Sophie Lawrence thought about the time and typed: "Then I'll wait for you at home after cooking."

"Okay."

...

When Henry Mitchell arrived home, Sophie Lawrence had just finished frying the last dish.

Sophie Lawrence took Henry Mitchell's coat that he took off and walked into the bedroom to put it away.

"You can wash your hands and have dinner."

Henry Mitchell had been busy all day and had hardly eaten anything. His stomach was still a little uncomfortable now, and he frowned slightly, his hand unconsciously pressing on his stomach.

When Sophie Lawrence walked over, she happened to see Henry Mitchell rubbing his stomach, and worry immediately showed in her eyes.

"Is your stomach uncomfortable again?"

Henry Mitchell nodded slightly.

Sophie Lawrence wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Henry Mitchell, "Let's eat."

After dinner, Henry Mitchell originally wanted Sophie Lawrence to take a bath first while he cleaned up the kitchen, but instead Sophie Lawrence preempted him.

When Henry Mitchell came out of the bathroom, he suddenly heard Sophie Lawrence's scream from the kitchen.

"Ah - "

Henry Mitchell immediately rushed towards the kitchen.

When he saw Sophie Lawrence, who was all wet in the kitchen, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

The water pipe in the corner had burst, and immediately drenched Sophie Lawrence all over, which gave her a big fright.

Sophie Lawrence was completely wet, and her soaked clothes clung tightly to her body, clearly outlining her slender and fit body lines.

Her fair and translucent skin seemed to be covered with a layer of light under the illumination of the light, making her even more alluring.

In just a short moment, Henry Mitchell's eyes darkened for a second.
