Chapter 388
Sophia's fingers trembled slightly. Ethan's words were clearly a warning—if she dared lay a finger on Vivian, he wouldn't let it slide.
What she didn't know was that Ethan was actually saving her.
The last person who tried to harm Vivian, Natalie, was still lying in the hospital's intensive care unit.
"Ethan, I never intended to hurt anyone." Sophia clenched the hem of her dress. "I just want what rightfully belongs to me."
In her eyes, Ethan was her possession. It was those shameless women who kept getting in her way.
She loved him madly. Why couldn't she win his heart?
Seeing her stubbornness, Ethan said nothing more.
With Vivian's capabilities, she didn't need his protection. He knew that all too well.
As Ethan turned to leave, Sophia suddenly lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around him from behind.
"Ethan, I barely get to see you." She pressed her face against his back, voice choked with emotion. "Have dinner with me, please?"
It had been so long since she'd been this close to him.
Once, she was the only woman allowed near him. Why wouldn't he even look at her now?
Ethan pried her fingers off without hesitation.
He turned and pushed her away, his gaze icy.
"Sophia," he shook his phone, "how do you plan to explain this time?"
The screen displayed a trending hashtag: #SophiaAndEthanAirportEmbrace. The photo showed her clinging to him moments ago.
Sophia's fans were ecstatic: "Ran into Sophia and Mr. Roscente at the airport! Their hug is so sweet!"
"It wasn't me!" Sophia shook her head frantically. "I didn't arrange this, I swear!"
Ethan smirked coldly. "Oh? So you admit you arranged the previous ones?"
Her face paled. She'd slipped up.
"Ethan, let me explain—"
"Save it." He cut her off. "I'll hold a press conference to clarify our relationship once and for all."
He walked away.
Sophia rushed to block his path. "Why do you care now? You never bothered before!"
Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed his sleeve. "Ethan... is there really nothing left between us?"
