Averie was also a little restrained, so she tried to find a topic: “Auntie, you live in Bridgedale? When did you go to Bridgedale?”
Sofia lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: “I’ve been there for quite a few years. This matter is a bit complicated… I was smuggled over to work as a gangster back then, but I didn’t expect that I was lucky. I met my future husband there. I didn’t use the identity of Sofia there.”
Elyette’s doubts were explained. He sent someone to check on Sofia in Bridgedale, but found no information.
“Then did your husband come with you?” Averie asked.
Sofia shook her head: “He passed away the year before. In fact, I saw Elyette on the news before. When I saw Elyette, I thought he looked alike to me, but I didn’t dare to think about it, because I couldn’t climb high. I found out that Elyette’s biological father is Nathan, and I started to doubt it.”
“Well, let’s eat first. Otherwise, the food will be cold.” Averie said with a smile.
They eat western food.
Because Sofia came back from Bridgedale, she was afraid that she was not used to Aryadelle’s food taste.
Averie picked up the knife and fork, ready to cut the steak.
At this time, Elyette handed her the cut steak.
The two of them were talking just now, and Elyette was silently cutting the steak.
They both ordered the same meal, so when Elyette handed her the plate, she took it without hesitation.
Sofia picked up the knife and fork and cut the steak seriously.
Elyette looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
Averie sliced the steak with too much force, causing the blade and plate to screech.
She seemed to be in a hurry, her face turned red, and the movements of her hands became more and more awkward.
“Auntie, are you a little nervous?” Averie saw this and broke the embarrassment, “Don’t be nervous, Elyette doesn’t have any ill will towards you. Otherwise, he won’t agree to eat with you.”
Sofia stopped her hand with the knife. With a stiff smile on her face, she said, “I am indeed a little nervous… After all, I am humble… and Elyette is so… successful.”
“Auntie, don’t said to be like this. We can’t decide our origin, and we can’t change our destiny in many cases. Most people are mediocre all their lives. Elyette will not deny you because of your past.”
“Averie, you speak so nicely. Sofia looked at her with envy, “I heard that you are a very good doctor. It’s amazing that you have such high achievements at such a young age.”
Averie’s cheeks flushed with praise: “Auntie, why don’t you have such high achievements?” I’ll cut it for you.”
“No, no, I can cut it, but today my fingers are not very good.” Sofia smiled and declined, then lowered her head and continued to cut the steak.
“Auntie, take the liberty to ask, how old are you this year?” Averie asked after eating a piece of beef.
“Ah… I just turned 53 this year.” Sofia looked embarrassed when she answered this question, “When I was born, I just dropped out of school and came to work, and Nathan lied with his eloquent words.”
Averie was shocked. She didn’t expect Sofia to be so young.
But the wrinkles on her face, she felt weathered and looked older than her actual age.
“After I gave birth, I had to go to work and couldn’t take care of the child. So after Elyette was born, it was Nathan’s mother who took care of me.” Sofia recalled the past, “After I have saved some money, I went and asked Nathan to see the child, but Nathan refused to show me. Later, Nathan changed his contact information, and I couldn’t find him. Fortunately, I knew his name.”
“This Nathan die, it’s so bad.” Averie is also a mother now, so after hearing what Sofia said, she was furious, “A person like him will die.”
Sofia’s eyes flickered and her lips moved, as if she wanted to pick her up In the end, nothing was said.
The atmosphere turned cold for a moment.
Elyette looked at Averie: “Would you like something else?”
Averie used a fork to fork the broccoli on the plate: “That’s enough. Ask Auntie if she want something else.”
Elyette was silent.
Sofia hurriedly said, “I can eat these.”
“Auntie, you don’t have to be polite to us. I don’t think you like steak very much. There are other main dishes on the menu. You can order whatever you want.” Averie handed the menu to Sofia.
Seeing Averie’s enthusiasm, Sofia took over the menu with a smile and ordered a plate of fried rice with eggs.
“Your taste is still a habit here.” Averie smiled.
“Yeah.” Sofia put down the menu, not wanting to talk more about her eating habits.
“Auntie, what’s your plan next? Do you work in Bridgedale?” Averie wanted to know more about her thoughts.
Sofia shook her head: “I mainly live on the savings my husband left behind.”
“Then do you plan to go back to Bridgedale, or stay here?” Averie continued to ask.
Sofia: “This… Of course I want to stay here, after all my husband is dead.”
Averie: “Do you and your husband have children?”
Sofia: “My husband and I have no children, But he and his ex-wife have a daughter. His daughter is already married.”
“Oh, if you want to stay in Aryadelle, you can.” Averie said in a relaxed tone, “If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell us.”
“I , I don’t have any difficulties… The legacy my husband left me is enough for me to spend… As long as I can see you from time to time, I will be very satisfied.” A smile appeared on Sofia’s face.
It’s just this smile that looks a bit reluctant. She has something to say. But every time she felt that she was going to say something important next, what she said was nothing that hurt or itchy.
After lunch, Averie offered to take Sofia back to the hotel, but she refused.
After watching her get into a taxi, Averie looked up at Elyette and asked, “How do you feel?”
“How about you?” Elyette didn’t know how he felt.
Because he felt so weird.
Averie opened the door, got in the car, sat firmly, and answered his question: “I feel that Sofia has a lot of thoughts. She said that she had no problem and didn’t need our help, but she looked like she was in trouble.”
“It’s not the same bag as the bag three days ago.” Elyette expressed his doubts, “Today’s bag is also from Hermes. If it is genuine, the price is not cheap.”
“I finally understand that you were with her three days ago . What you said, you said her skin was not well maintained. She was only 53 years old, but she looked very older.”
“She and Nathan may not be as simple as she said.” Elyette pointed out another point of doubt, “She asked me three days ago why I didn’t save Nathan. It’s not like she shows us that she has no shortage of money.”
Averie deeply agrees.
Averie: “Although Sofia has many doubts, I don’t think she is a bad person.”
“Well.” Elyette had seen her three days ago.
After these two meetings, although he felt that she was a little suspicious, he also felt that there was a lingering pitiful aura about her.
He wouldn’t deliberately divide people into three, six, and nine classes, but he subconsciously believed that even if Sofia was wearing a famous brand, carrying a Hermes bag, and trying to look like a lady, her words and deeds would not deceive people.
“Elyette, let’s not think about it so much for now. After you meet her a few more times, maybe you will know why she is like this.” Averie thinks that although Sofia is a little strange but she is not the kind of aggressive person.
No matter what was in Sofia’s heart, she should not harm them.
“I’m afraid that she will be used.” Elyette expressed his concerns, “If someone with a heart knows that she is my biological mother, someone will definitely want to use her hands to create trouble.”
Averie nodded: “Tell me your aunt’s number and I’ll talk to her more. Let her be on guard.”
“Well.” After sending her the number, Elyette asked, “Are you going home or going back to the company?”
Averie touched her stomach, she said, “I’m not full.”
Elyette: “Would you like to go to the restaurant just now? You can also change to another one.”
“I don’t want to eat Western food.” Averie smiled, “I saw my aunt eating egg fried rice just now, I think So fragrant. But I want to eat hot and sour noodles now.”
Elyette has never eaten hot and sour noodles outside, but this simple snack should be able to be cooked in any restaurant.
“I know that there is a shop whose hot and sour noodles are particularly authentic.” After Averie said this, she immediately reported the driver’s address.
After searching the store name on the mobile map, the driver drove the car towards the destination.
“This store is near the high school I used to study…” Averie said, seeming to think of something, but she quickly brought it over with other words, “Now I think of life in high school, in addition to endless questions, I don’t seem to have any other memories.”
“Your college entrance examination scores seem to be good.” Elyette had investigated her information before.
“My score can be used to get into a better key university. I want to go to a medical school in another province, or go abroad, but my dad doesn’t agree.” Averie still felt a little pain in her heart when she talked about this, “My dad didn’t want to hindering me. He said he was reluctant for me to leave him. Although he usually doesn’t care much about me. I am his daughter after all.”
