Chapter 57

The two walked side by side for not more than ten meters.

They saw the men's daily necessities, and the most popular area was the shelves with condoms neatly
placed in rows.

Sophia was the first to realize the oddness of the situation and backed up immediately.

She tried to push Fiona, but she seemed stuck in place.

Following Fiona’s line of sight, Sophia looked over and was also shaken for a moment.

When she reacted, Sophia quickly pushed the cart to Fiona and told her in a low voice, "Fiona, quickly
push this cart with Emma and leave"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man on the other side saw her and walked over.

"President Evans, don't you have something else to do than visit the supermarket?"

To hide her panic, Sophia tucked her hair behind her ear.

Patrick was dressed differently than usual.

He was dressed ina casual outfit.He wore a white, casual shirt with a short sleeve, revealing a small
portion of his arm.He had an indescribable sexiness.He was also wearing a simple pair of black pants
wrapped around his long and slender legs.His eyes looked even more profound and charming under
the light of the supermarket.

A faint smile hung on his lips as he looked at her.She had always known that this man had a mature
and cold aura that had been polished by time.

However, her heart seemed to skip a beat after seeing him again tonight.



"Yes, I want to buy some things" Patrick replied casually.

Sophia looked at the condoms rack behind him, then looked at the clothes he was wearing.She
guessed that he might have come especially to buy those things.

Sophia did not know which woman he would use them with, but she was relieved.

Because no matter who it was, it had nothing to do with her.

It was not a rare thing for a successful businessman like Patrick to have three or four women
simultaneously.

"Hey bro, I found it! I want this brand.Stacey said that she likes the taste of bananas"

At this time, a male voice suddenly came from behind Patrick.

From the voice and the way he spoke, it could be said that the owner of that voice was still young.

He was most likely a university freshman.

Skyler did not see Sophia.

When he walked over, he did not forget to show off in front of Patrick that he had picked the banana-
flavored condoms.

It was not until Skyler walked over that Sophia saw his appearance.

If her memory was correct, 'Wasn't he the doctor who had bumped into me when I asked for a doctor's
recommendation for a personal leave in the hospital that day? At that time, she did not look at his name
tag carefully.She only saw the ‘attending physician’ part on the name tag.She thought that this person
was relatively young and promising.



‘Wait, did he just call Patrick "Brother?"

Sophia thought to herself.

Patrick observed the expressions on Sophia's face and said with a smile, "This is my younger brother,
Skyler.You have never seen him before’

"Hello, sister-in-law!" Skyler chuckled.

Because of his young age, in front of the mature Patrick, he always had an immature young man’s
shyness.

This call of sister-in-law made Sophia feel highly embarrassed.

It was just that she never thought that besides having an elder sister, he also had a younger brother.

If one day he told her that she had other brothers and sisters, she might not even be surprised, "Just
call me Sophia.We divorced a long time ago” Sophia said.

Sophia did not know why Skyler called her like that.

Perhaps Patrick had not told him the fact that the two had already divorced? Or had he never known
that his brother had been married?

"Whether you have divorced or not, since you were once my brother's wife, I have to call you sister-in-
law” Skyler insisted.

Sophia was speechless.

"Skyler, that's enough,'' Patrick said.

Skyler did not speak anymore.



"Then you go shopping now.I still have some things to do so I won't bother you with idle chat anymore"

Sophia told Patrick.

Sophia turned around to leave, but Patrick grabbed her wrist, and she heard a low and pleasant voice,
"I seem to have seen you with a woman just now? Where is she? It's not good to leave her alone.Can
you call her over to introduce her?"

The warmth from his palm made the panic in Sophia's heart intensify.

She thought about it and said, "My friend is shy in front of strangers, so please just forget it!"

Skyler frowned.He disagreed with Sophia's point of view.

In his opinion, they had already met.

They should also introduce each other out of courtesy.

There was no excuse to evade this kind of thing unless that person was very impolite.

"The first meetings give the most lasting impression since we have met today, then we should become
more familiar with each other, what do you think?" Skyler asked.

Patrick looked at Sophia.

Skyler also looked at Sophia.

At this moment, she had the sudden urge to run away.

However, she did not do so in the end.



She smiled and said, "Whether I introduce my friend or not, the result is the same.Because Mr.Evans
and my friend will not have much contact in this life."

Sophia was impolite with her words.

It was unknown whether it was because he forced her too hard or because of the fear and resistance in
her heart.

Skyler was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a beige sports hat.He was white complexioned, and his facial
features were not as handsome as Patrick's.His hair was trimmed very neatly, and he was standing
side by side with Patrick, but he looked a little thin and weak, understandably so for he was still young
and most probably a student.

Perhaps because they were family, Skyler also had that sharp and noble aura.

Or probably because her tone was not polite enough that his eyes emitted a cald light when he looked
at her.

The person that Skyler admired the most since he was a child was this brother who was ten years older
than him.

To Skyler, he was not only a family but also a guide in his life.

As long as he looked up at him, his life would have a direction.

Sophia's action was like saying that his idol was not good to a child in school.

That was undoubtedly the most serious attack on Patrick, which aroused a strong desire in Skyler’s
heart to protect the latter.

Skyler wanted to say something, but he gave up after seeing the look Patrick gave him.



"Patrick, I think you two should talk.I still have things that I need to buy"

Skyler curled his lips into a half-smile and left.

There were many customers in the supermarket.

Many people came and went.

The radio would broadcast today's specially priced goods from time to time.

The whole supermarket was noisy.

"Pardon him, he is but a child!" Patrick said as a way to explain Skyler's actions.

Sophia shook her head.She did not take it to heart.

If she were Skyler, she would not be happy with her, too.

After all, an outsider was being impolite to his family.

No matter who it was, it was not a matter to be happy about.

"What I mean is that you have to take his expressions and actions as it is" Patrick explained further.

She looked at Patrick.

'Did he mean that I shouldn't overthink? Skyler's words didn't have any special meaning.Was Skyler
protecting him out of instinct?’ Sophia asked herself.

"It's okay, I understand," Sophia said.

Skyler was his younger brother.She didn't care what Skyler's attitude towards her was.



When she finished speaking, both of them smiled.

Sophia had a strange smile on her face.She looked at him and saw that Patrick had that kind of
mysterious smile on his face.

That pair of eyes that were like dawn seemed to be dyed with a layer of exhaustion.She didn't know if it
was just an illusion, however.

Sophia looked away and checked the time.It was already twenty minutes past eight in the evening.

"I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you anymore."

After saying that, she turned around and left.
