The moment his fingers were about to touch Sophie's cheek, Zhao Dong finally withdrew his hand, lowered his palm, and held her hand firmly in his palm!
The sudden contact did not make Zhao Dong feel at ease, but added a bit of panic. Sophie's palm was very cold, and it was warmer than it had ever been before.
Sophie obviously didn't expect Zhao Dong's action. She seemed to wake up instantly and stood up to withdraw her hand!
Finally, when he saw that the person next to him was Zhao Dong, he slowly closed his eyes. Although his palm was still held by Zhao Dong, the movement of his other hand around his chest seemed to isolate Zhao Dong!
Zhao Dong's pupils dilated instantly. If I remember correctly, this was Sophie's habitual action in the past. She had been insecure for many years, and she had long been accustomed to wrapping her whole body in the deepest part!
Later, through gradual contact, until he successfully got into Sophie's heart, he allowed her to slowly let down her guard, until finally, she was completely defenseless.
But Sophie was obviously in a bad state right now, and it was different from any previous troubles.
Zhao Dong knew that everything tonight was too risky. If Sophie hit him, scolded him, or even ignored him, even if she cried out as a way to vent her anger, he would accept it.
But the current situation, no noise, no fuss, quiet state, makes Zhao Dong extremely worried!
The unprecedented self-blame made Zhao Dong look at Sophie with guilt in his eyes. He felt that he had failed to protect this woman who had entrusted her body and mind to him.
Especially tonight, the other party's behavior of touching the bottom line made Zhao Dong lose his mind rarely.
Although the original intention was to seek justice for Sophie, a series of subsequent events obviously went awry, causing inevitable secondary harm to Sophie.
The feeling of guilt continued to grow in my heart, and my hands clenched subconsciously. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any response from Sophie. I could only move my body as close to Sophie as possible to provide him with a little warmth and security!
Liang Xiao sat in front, watching this scene in his eyes, and sighed slightly.
Although she didn't know how Sophie managed to turn the tide tonight, she knew without thinking that it was definitely not easy. The words "walking on thin ice" were even too simple!
Bearing the infamy of a jealous wife and the accusation of pushing Zhao Dong into the cage with his own hands, he came to the provincial capital alone under all the pressure!
In such a wolf-like environment, we have to deal with even more complicated human hearts!
People who cared about Zhao Dong accused her wildly, and the voices of incomprehension and complaints almost tore her to pieces on the spot!
People who hated Zhao Dong didn't want her to come out to disrupt the situation, so they blocked her and threatened her in every possible way. However, she couldn't even defend herself at all, and she couldn't show anything at all!
Under double pressure and with injuries on her body, a woman's endurance has obviously reached its limit!
In such a state, it is already good without collapse. At least Liang Xiao asked herself, if she was in the same position as Sophie, she felt that she could not do this.
And she can be sure that none of the women around Zhao Dong can do this!
While trying to turn the tide, and taking care of every aspect of her life, what else do you want a woman to do?
As for Sophie's current state, Liang Xiao couldn't guess and didn't dare to make any random comments, but she also sensed something was wrong. Out of a woman's sensitivity, she felt that Sophie was acting too quiet!
I have shouldered everything for my husband and tried my best. Now that my husband has returned safely, no matter whether he is aggrieved or complaining, he should not behave like this!
Liang Xiao wanted to help, but it was inconvenient to ask.
In a strange atmosphere, the car arrived at its destination quickly.
It's a high-end community with a nice environment, and cars park directly in front of the door.
Zhao Dong touched her gently, and his words were even gentler to the extreme, "Are you asleep? We are at the place."
Despite her gentle tone, Sophie woke up instantly. She sat up from her chair, her breathing quickened, and her face suddenly changed!
Zhao Dong didn't know why Sophie was in such a state, so he hurriedly grabbed her hands, opened his arms and hugged her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, I'm here."
Sophie's mood slowly calmed down, she gently pushed Zhao Dong away, looked around him and said, "Sister Liang Xiao, I'm going to disturb you tonight."
Sensing something was wrong between the two of them, Liang Xiao eased the atmosphere and said, "Why are you so polite? I was not polite to you when we were in Tianzhou!"
When the car left, Liang Xiao went to open the door.
Zhao Dong supported Sophie and followed behind, "How are you? Does your injury still hurt? Is it okay if you just come out like this?"
Sophie turned around and said her first statement tonight. It was a simple four words, but it easily tore through Zhao Dong's psychological defense line, "Do you care?"
Zhao Dong's heart was stung, especially Sophie's eyes. He didn't know how to describe them, they were still bright and beautiful.
But at this moment, it's like a pair of sharp knives piercing people's hearts!
Zhao Dong's heart contracted painfully, and he blurted out: "Of course I care!"
Liang Xiao heard the movement behind her and hurriedly made an excuse: "No one has lived in the house for a long time. The house is a bit messy. I'll go in and clean it up first. You guys wait here."
As he spoke, Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Dong again and reminded, "Take good care of Xiaofei!"
After Liang Xiao left, Zhao Dong grabbed Sophie's arm with both hands and said in a worried tone, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"
Sophie frowned slightly, "Can you let me go?"
The unfamiliar words caused the wound in Zhao Dong's heart to slowly heal. He took a half-step forward without hesitation and hugged the person directly, "Don't let go!"
Sophie stood there like a tree, with her hands hanging down, not struggling, let alone resisting, "Then let go after you have hugged me enough!"
Zhao Dong was about to go crazy and took half a step back: "I'm sorry. I apologize to you. I was impulsive tonight. I shouldn't have gone. I shouldn't have..."
Zhao Dong didn't know how to explain it, so he simply replied to Su Fei's question just now: "But I really care about you!"
Sophie seemed to not care about the answer at all, "If you really cared, you wouldn't leave me alone tonight."
"I don't know what you want to do, but do you know the consequences of doing so?"
"If you succeed, others will only say that you are Zhao Dongren, righteous, heroic, courageous, responsible, and able to get angry for a woman!"
"But have you ever considered me? What will others say about me?"
"Others will say, if you had chosen another woman, how could you, Zhao Dong, have been in so much trouble?"
"It is precisely because you have found a woman like me that you are constantly in trouble! In the eyes of these people, I, Sophie, are a beauty and a curse!"
