Chapter 1543 Corinne deleted the message after reading it. At the very least, she was able to put on an act to ensure that Sophia did not suspect anything. They could not allow Sophia to realize they had uncovered the truth. Sophia would only let her guard down if she felt that she was still in control of the situation. There was always a possibility that Sophia might go to the extrand threaten them with Bryan's safety.
"Mommy, did Sophia cand look forearlier?" Benjamin asked uneasily. Even though he had not seen Sophia, he was certain he had heard her voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne held her son close and reassured him, "No. | won't let her take you away again. Don't worry." Benjamin's unease toward Sophia made Corinne worry about Bryan. She wondered if Sophia might target Bryan.

Elsewhere, at Estee Bistro, Annie sipped her orange juice by the window and spaced out as she gazed at the street. She had waited more than 40 minutes for the blind date her mother had arranged.
Annie's mood was souring fast, and sitting around waiting for someone she had no interest in made it worse. She just had a morning session with her therapist, who encouraged her to try dating again instead of letting fear hold her back.
As a result, she reluctantly agreed to meet the blind date her family had set up for her. She figured that someone her family recommended would be more decent than srandom men she got to know elsewhere. After all, she had a history of attracting the wrong kind of men. Alas, her blind date was not much better than the others.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnie could not help but grumble about the man's tardiness, for she had a particular loathing for people who had no sense of urgency.
She was a little moody when a man at a nearby table pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
When Annie snapped out of her senses and looked at the man, she was so startled that she nearly spat out the orange juice she had just sipped.
She coughed violently and asked herself, ‘What kind of person is he?’ The man sitting across from her was much, much older than her. He had the old-fashioned style and reeked of grease. Worse of all, he had very little hair left on his head! That did not look remotely like the top student her mother mentioned.
Qualifications notwithstanding, his appearance did not match that of a recent graduate from a top university. He was more like a top student from her father's generation! "You must be Miss Annie! Sorry, I'm late. The traffic here was terrible. | hope you won't mind the slight delay," said the man.
