Single Mother: Struggling With The Dangerous CEO Chapter 43

Fortunately, she was able to speak fluent English and finally found a job in Porterhouse Cabin.

The manager might have noticed that she was alone and miserable, so he provided her with
accommodation.

Providing accommodation was simply a surprise to Sophia than giving her anything.

Gradually, she adapted to her life abroad and no longer missed her mother that quickly, nor could she
remember her father's death.

Until one night, when the restaurant was about to close, the manager came back drunk.

He pulled her hand and said many intimate words, and then came to hug her.

She was so scared that she wanted to run but was tightly wrapped in his arms.She felt despair that she
could not breathe.

At that moment, her mind was full of thoughts.

If she died, she would not need to worry anymore.

Fortunately, the heavens had blessed her and met Patrick, who wanted to eat supper.

At that time, his personality was not as cold as it was now.

After saving her, he even led her to buy a few clothes and many daily necessities.

When people were in despair, the dawn that appeared after the blackest night was easy to fall in love
with.

For Sophia, Patrick was her hero.



From then on, she gradually fell in love with Patrick, but her path of love was destined to be rough.

Later, she always thought how good it would be if life were just like the first time they met.

When she woke up from this dream, it was already pitch black outside.

Sophia felt that her entire body was covered in sweat.She turned on the light and looked at her watch.

It was two fifty-eight in the morning.She couldn't go back to sleep, and many things were bothering her
heart.Sophia took the cell phone at the bedside and called Fiona.

When Fiona picked up the phone, she was still in a daze, and her voice was low and hoarse when she
answered.

"Did you dream again?" Fiona asked sleepily.

Fiona understood her very well, but then again, every time Sophia woke up from a dream, she could
not fall asleep anymore, and she needed someone to talk to.

At times like this, the person she called was always Fiona.

Sophia was fortunate to have a friend like Fiona.

"Yes, I dreamt that he was wearing a white shirt and walking along the streets of Australia with me.It
was hot, and he would slow down and wait for me.I dreamt about the smell of popcorn we bought when
watching a movie, the smell of fresh air while holding an umbrella when it rains, and when we were
shopping in the supermarket, we could not reach the things on the shelves.The pride he had when he
was able to take them..."

Sophia's voice was a little choked up at the end of her words.

The lamp at the bedside was dark like an old photo, and it reminded her of her old life.



There were too many memories, and most of them were accompanied with pain.

Fiona sighed.Her voice was much clearer now.

It was as if she had turned on the light and was sitting up on the bed.

"Don't think about it.People have changed.If they always look like they are in love, then how can there
be so many people in the world who are distressed for love?"

"Fiona, do you think from the start of our relationship until now, he had never been true to me?"

"When you were abroad, it was only you and him.If he did not love you, he wouldn't be able to do so
much."

Sophia was silent.She felt that she had been very hypocritical recently.

Fiona asked again, "Did he come to find you again? What else did he say?"

"No, we didn't talk much.When we met, we just nodded and greeted each other perfunctorily.I didn't
answer his calls, and I didn't reply to his text messages."

Sophia's thoughts were chaotic, but Fiona easily saw through her thoughts.

"Two days ago, you told me that he always looked for you, sent text messages to remind you to eat,
and even kissed you.At that time, I wanted to ask, did you do something to make him misunderstand?
Did you think that there was still a possibility between you and him? Or did something happen? Did you
not tell me everything?"

Sophia thought and told Fiona about what happened on the business trip.

Fiona sighed again.



Her emotions were in a mess, and she could not give any good advice at all.

"You are both unclear about your relationship with each other.And maybe you are both unsure about
your feelings.Besides, who can get into the heart of the other person to see what's in there?"

Fiona told Sophia.

"However, Sophia, I still have to say one more thing.Patrick is a prominent person now, and he is vastly
different from when he studied in Australia.At that time, his family background was not worthy of the
Cliffords, and it was even worse than the inheritance left by your father.Now it is different.He now
stands at the peak of power and he even said that he would only love one woman.Isn't this too
ridiculous?"

Fiona asked Sophia.

"Also, it is reasonable that he cannot forget her because Adriana is his first love.It is also right for him
to be together with Adriana again.However, it has been three years since her father died, and he still
hasn't married Adriana.Does it mean that he does not love Adriana deeply enough? Or should I say,
what he values the most now is his career and not his feelings? Just a feeling of something new and
not real love?" Fiona said a lot, and Sophia listened seriously.

Sophia summed up Fiona’s words in her heart.

Perhaps Patrick was only with Adriana because he was his first love and not because he loved her
deeply.

He was now famous and had everything he wanted.

Therefore, it was impossible to say how serious he was about his feelings.

Sophia turned on the air conditioner, and the heat in the room was reduced a lot.



The coldness of the room made her mind clearer.

"Well, I know what to do now.I always thought about how good he was to me in Australia and ignored
his indifference when he divorced me.Now that I think about it, it's a bit ridiculous." Sophia concluded.

After hanging up the phone, Sophia lay on the bed and thought for a long time.

She still couldn't think of the reason why he suddenly wanted to divorce back then.

He only said divorce, but Patrick did not give her any reason.

If it were because of Adriana, he would clearly say that.

Patrick was not a dishonest person, after all.

Sophia always had this doubt in her heart so that when he approached her, she didn't immediately
avoid him.She wanted to know the reason, but she didn't dare ask.She had no idea what to do next.

It was hard to find out why Patrick asked for a divorce.

It seemed too difficult for her to forget him now.

The next day was Friday.

Sophia's food allergy situation had improved, but her body was still frail, so she took another day off.

In addition to the weekend, she could take three days off in a row.

She thought she would take Emma to the amusement park if she felt better tomorrow, She had
promised Emma a lot of things, but she had never brought her to the amusement park before.

She hoped that they could go this time.



At the exact moment, a car slowly stopped downstairs.

The man in the car lit a cigarette and looked up.It was unknown what he was thinking.

After a long while, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"How was the investigation?" Patrick asked.

"Mr.Evans, I checked the flight manifest and the living arrangements Ms.Hill had in Australia.I did not
find anything suspicious.But there is one very fishy thing.Someone anonymously helped Miss Hill get
an Australian permanent residence certificate.The person who helped her must be well-connected in
that country to do that.

"Yes” Patrick responded, but he felt that the person on the other side of the line wanted to say
something else but stopped.

"Mr.Evans, there is one more thing.I found out from Miss Hill's documents that she had a prenatal
examination in a hospital; The investigator added.

‘Prenatal examination? Didn't Sophia have a miscarriage?’ Patrick asked himself.

‘Or did she have another man?’ He continued to wonder.

An unknown emotion enveloped him, but he could not distinguish if it was jealousy or not.

Patrick hung up the phone and stayed for a while before stepping on the accelerator and driving away
from the neighborhood.
