My Sweet Wife

California, USA, a rental house, Alicia was cooking a meal.

Sophie Sabastian peeled a head of garlic and handed it to Alicia, “Here.”

“These shredded potatoes are better with mashed garlic in them, it’s best to put the garlic in when the shredded potatoes are almost out of the pan, it’s the best.” Alicia spoke, looking at her masterpiece and smelling it with satisfaction.

The two of them had been living here for over two years now, when Sophie Sabastian had gotten on a plane and was picking a country after avoiding Leonardo Cooper, and had wanted to just look around, not thinking of a place to land, and then Alicia had called her and said she was in the States for further study, so she could come over and stay with her for a while.

Alicia brought the food to the table, and saw the rent demand slip from the landlord’s aunt on the table, she frowned and looked at Sophie Sabastian, “Sophie, look, the rent has gone up again, thank goodness I have you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to afford to live here. This American rent is also too high.”

“Buying a house is better than renting, Sophie, if you want to stay here for a long time, why don’t you buy a house here?”

Sophie Sabastian had her tablet in her hand, sliding the picture information of the house, “Well, I do plan to buy one, still looking, haven’t decided yet.”

“Sophie, so you’re really not going to return home like this? Really planning to live here for the rest of your life?” Alicia asked after her in disbelief, she had just said that she was buying a house, it was just a casual remark, she didn’t expect that Sophie Sabastian would really buy a house here.

Sophie Sabastian swiped the page on her tablet and read a few more messages before letting go of the tablet and looking over at Alicia.

“I do think living here is kinda nice. And it’s good to buy a house here for the immigration process. Actually, the country is also quite good, after all, I grew up there, the living environment and food habits fit me, but I am in the country, I am afraid of being found by Leonardo Cooper.”

Alicia’s eyes flickered a bit, pretending to ask casually, “Do you want to be found by Leonardo Cooper that much?”

“I don’t think he’ll find me now, and it’s just me thinking too much. It’s all divorced and he has Ewenny, how could he possibly find me.” Sophie Sabastian answered back, dropping her eyelids, and after a few seconds allowed herself to collect her thoughts and took her chopsticks to prepare her meal.

“Sophie, I’ve always wondered how you guys got divorced. I remember that a divorce is not considered a divorce until it’s finalized, Leonardo Cooper did he go with you to the civil court to finalize the divorce?”

Sophie Sabastian chucked her food and ate, taking a moment to glance at Alicia, “Not on that subject, on something else.”

Living together for more than two years, Leonardo Cooper has always been a forbidden area that can’t be mentioned here in Sophie Sabastian, Alicia even if she wants to open her mouth to say something, it’s not good to make Sophie Sabastian angry.

She’s caught in the middle and doesn’t even know what’s going on.

Sophie Sabastian says she’s divorced, but how does Leonardo Cooper look like he’s divorced from Sophie Sabastian? She knows Sophie Sabastian lost the baby, so she won’t forgive Leonardo Cooper.

Alicia also picked up chopsticks to eat, she has not been able to straighten out her own affairs, she just wants to help Sophie Sabastian but she can’t do it.

Sophie Sabastian’s appetite was very good lately, she finished a bowl of rice and added more, she smiled and looked at Alicia, “Alicia, isn’t your study finished tomorrow? If you finish and go back to your country, then I’ll be miserable, I’ve gotten used to eating your cooking.”

“Can’t be miserable, I haven’t decided where I’m going either, from now on, the two of us will be companions, wherever you go, I’ll go.”

Alicia’s situation when she first left the country was that she couldn’t stay in that city anymore and hadn’t decided where she was going to go, floating around in other cities, it was Leonardo Cooper who reached out to her and told her about Sophie Sabastian’s recent situation, he mentioned that he would give her a sum of money to come over here to further her education, and then bother her to take care of Sophie Sabastian.

She was already happy to have Sophie Sabastian as her companion, and she was even happier when he offered her money to further her education.

It was just that she’d missed Issac Shaw in particular during the years she’d stayed here.

After all, between her and Issac Shaw, she was the one who failed Issac Shaw, and sometimes that’s how people are, the more they owe someone, the more they take that person to heart.

Sophie Sabastian looked at Alicia, “So you don’t want to be a TV host anymore? It’s impossible for you to host a program here in a foreign country.”

“Both of us, we both love to be hosts so much, I can’t do it now because of my voice, but you’re different from me, you can still do it, and you’re now furthering your studies here, and what you’re studying is related to hosting, I know you can’t let go of your dream.”

Neither of them could let go, after all, they both used to love it so much.

Sophie Sabastian’s voice is still muffled and raspy, as if the vocal cords of her voice have been split.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Sometimes Sophie Sabastian can’t even hear herself speak. When she was abroad, she planted flowers, and when she was bored, she also thought of organizing a program on the Internet, but when she heard her voice, she let it go.

Alicia looked at Sophie Sabastian, “Sophie, medical treatment is so advanced here, you should go and see about getting your voice fixed.”

“Whether you want to be a presenter in the future or not, your voice is part of your health, you need to be healthy.”

They were talking when Sophie Sabastian’s cell phone called.

She glanced at the caller ID and it was Milton Charlotte calling.

Sophie Sabastian put the phone to her ear and answered it, Milton Charlotte’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Sophie, I’ll be able to come over and see you this November vacation.”

“Oh Milton, you’d better not come, it’s not easy for you to earn some money now, it’s better to save up first.” Sophie Sabastian advised him.

Milton Charlotte’s family’s industry closed down, now Milton Charlotte is working in b city, an executive, the salary is less than 20, 000, after rent and utilities, he and his mother’s living expenses, usually have a disease, don’t dare to have a baby.

So Sophie Sabastian advised Milton Charlotte to save up.

Milton Charlotte’s voice on the other end of the phone was slightly astringent, “But, I want to see you.”

“It’s just as well to make a video call.”

“But, my mom asked me to bring something over to you, something she made herself, and she wants you to try it.” Milton Charlotte wanted to go over and see her, so she made an excuse, “And I got you a lot of specialties from home too. I haven’t seen you in a long time, and I’d like to know how you’re doing where you are.”

“Just send express mail.”

In the end Sophie Sabastian still persuaded Milton Charlotte, she knew that Milton Charlotte had that heart for her, but she didn’t want to talk about her feelings right now, just be a friend and talk, it’s not easy for her to slow down right now, she didn’t want to have any more feelings that would make her difficult and painful.

Alicia watched Sophie Sabastian hang up the phone, and spoke in a hesitant manner, “Sophie, I know you want to stay in touch with Milton Charlotte as a friend, but I think it’s better if you don’t be friends with him anymore. Thinking of him as a friend would be a disservice to him.”

“Besides, when you were in the country, if he hadn’t failed to handle his relationship with Leticia Sabastian, how could you have been almost burned to death by Leticia Sabastian in retaliation for setting her on fire?”

Sophie Sabastian looked at Alicia, “I did all the math, and it won’t be all Milton Charlotte’s fault.”

“Leticia Sabastian and her family are all crazy.”

Alicia heard Sophie Sabastian say this and said nothing more.

They knew each other’s business by now, and Alicia knew that Sophie Sabastian wouldn’t have that kind of heart for Milton Charlotte, it’s just that she felt that the previous misunderstanding between Leonardo Cooper and Sophie Sabastian must have inevitably had Milton Charlotte in the middle of it The fault of Milton Charlotte in the middle of the misunderstanding between Leonardo Cooper and Sophie Sabastian.

A relationship between two people can’t be sustained if someone wants to get in the middle of it.

If two people love each other and are not suspicious of each other, then it is possible to maintain, but in this world, most of the time, love can not be tested, we are all people who can not melt into the sand.

Sophie Sabastian looked at Alicia not saying anything, she clip a piece of vegetable and put it in her bowl, “Don’t worry about my business first, worry more about your business.”

“I think Issac Shaw is quite nice, we worked at the station before and we never heard him rumored with another woman. He’s gentlemanly and gentle, and he’s so infatuated with you. It’s not like there’s a third party between you, and the problem of family is something that can be completely overcome.”

After a pause, Sophie Sabastian added, “Of course, if you think like me now and think that you can live quite well on your own without looking for a man, then there’s no need to look for one.”

In this kind of open-minded American empire, there are a lot of single and unmarried people, and you can see men kissing on the road.

Sophie Sabastian felt that her heart was clear and there was nothing she couldn’t let go of.

Alicia looked at Sophie Sabastian, “If I had your identity, I would be with Issac. But I didn’t. I love him in a way that I don’t let him be talked about in jokes that he married a woman from a country ravine.”

“Alicia, you just have an inferiority complex.” Sophie Sabastian is beside herself.

Alicia was also aware that if she had the ability to create some good conditions out of it, maybe she wouldn’t care so much about her birth.

That’s why she’s thinking of furthering her education and perfecting herself even more.

After dinner, Sophie Sabastian cleaned up the dishes, Alicia still had to go to school in the evening, she knew that Alicia didn’t have much money on her, recently Alicia was worrying about the money for the materials, so she packed an envelope, put enough money, and stuck it in Alicia’s books, with a note attached to the envelope, I borrowed it from you, just pay me back later.

Because of Ximena, Sophie Sabastian is still afraid of making friends with people with low self-esteem, fearing that they too will turn into white wolves and bite her hard.

However, after spending so much time with Alicia, she realized that Alicia is very sincere in front of her, even if she has low self-esteem, she doesn’t hide it, she just admits it to her, chats with her, and spends time with her to do things that she is interested in.

Now Alicia is her best friend, her only companion in this strange place.

So Sophie Sabastian is also quite thankful to Alicia, and hopes that Alicia will have her heart’s desire and get the happiness she wants.
