Chapter 165 - 165: You’re Like My Mother

With the shopping receipt and the lottery ticket, she went to the reception desk to cash the prize.

Sophia always felt that there was something weird about Albert. Every time she was with him, there seemed to be something out of the ordinary with him.

Last time, she bought clothes at Aphrodite with him and saved a lot of money because of him. When she got back, she searched Aphrodite's official blog. Aphrodite did have a discount. But it was a platform draw. Only those who won the prize could get a discount. However, the activity started after she bought clothes, which meant that he got the discount coupon in advance.

Albert explained that he cooperated with Aphrodite, so he could get one.

Sophia didn't doubt anything at the time, but… When something like this happened again, she felt it was too coincidental.

If these were not coincidences but arranged by Albert, then his abilities were terrible.

She looked at Albert, who was happily pushing the shopping cart and seemed silly.

This man… didn't look like a capable person at all. She had known him for two years. He didn't look like a great character at all. Besides, if he was so capable, how could he work as an assistant for her?

She thought that she must have thought too much and that Albert was just a very lucky person.

Soon, Kate came back from the front desk. The supermarket returned all the money she had just spent on her bank account. It saved her over three hundred dollars at once, so she was in a very good mood.

The trio left the supermarket, but what they had bought in Albert's car and drove home.

Albert helped carry things upstairs. Kate simply packed up what they had just bought. Then she put on the apron and went into the kitchen to cook. Sophia didn't follow in. Still, she was afraid to see flames.

Albert tried to help, but Kate refused. He had done a lot for them. Kate couldn't ask him to help with the cooking.

Sophia, sitting on the sofa looking at her cell phone, noticed that many netizens posted Chubby's emojis on her account "Knowing A Person."

Chubby had a funny face. Netizens edited his pictures. With some words, these pictures became emojis, like

"I'm fierce" "I stare at you. You!" "I feel so aggrieved," and so on.

These words seemed inexplicably coordinated with Chubby's pictures. Sophia admired the imagination of netizens.

She turned and saw Chubby sleeping in the corner of the living room. She had not prepared a kennel for him, so he had to lie on the ground first. She didn't know where Mitch was, and he did not stay with Chubby.

Sophia took a photo of Chubby and posted it on her blog.

Then she saw a private letter from someone she had followed. She only followed the official blog of the International Chess Contest and Chubby. The official blog of the International Chess Contest basically would not email her. Without thinking, she knew it was from Chubby.

She checked the email. It was from him.

"I saw the picture. Chubby looks very energetic."

Sophia replied to him at once.

"Yeah. He's fine. Thank you and Jasmine."

"And?"

"What?"

Sophia couldn't remember who else to thank for a moment.

"You should also thank the handsome dog worker."

Sophia turned her head and looked at Albert, who was playing with his phone. Albert seemed to sense her gaze. He glanced up at her and then looked down at his phone.

"Mr. Pearson asked me to thank you. Do you know what I mean? You are both Mr. Pearson."

"I'm more handsome than him," said Albert.

"The same Pearson?"

Albert glanced at her and sighed. "Forget it. But since we are so familiar with each other, is it too strange for you to call me Mr. Pearson all the time?"

Sophia felt he had a point. She thought about it and said, "Then what should I call you? Pear? No. Pearson? Is that rude? You're older than me…"

"You don't need to stress that all the time. I like being called Pearson."

Sophia used to call him Pearson, so she said, "Fine. Pearson."

When Albert heard the word "Pearson" from Sophia, he trembled in his heart. After a moment, he said, "I won't call you Miss Green. I call you… Sophia. I heard Mrs. Green call you that."

Sophia nodded, "Yeah."

It was just a name. She didn't care about it.

She looked down at her phone. There was no reply from Chubby.

Then, Kate prepared the meal and greeted Sophia and Albert for dinner. She made three dishes and one soup. They were refreshing and straightforward.

Albert hurried to serve the meal and said, "Mrs. Green, please let me help with the cook next time. I can't cook yet. I want to learn."

Kate smiled and said, "Yeah. You're a good boy. Sophia doesn't like cooking. She won't even go into the kitchen."

"Don't worry. I'll cook when I learn cooking," said Albert.

Sophia wondered if he was going to stay at her house to eat every day.

After dinner, Albert took out a key and gave it to Kate before leaving. "Mrs. Green, I'm forgetful. Please keep the key for me in case I can't enter when I forget the key," he said.

Kate took over the key. "All right. Come here if you forget to take the key."

"You just moved in," Albert said. "If you need anything, just go to my house to get it. If I'm not at home, you can get in with the key without telling me."

Kate laughed, "I can't do that."

Albert said, "Don't be polite. I have always adored you. In my heart, you're like my mother."

Kate laughed, "You're so adorable. Okay, I'll move your stuff to my house someday."

Albert laughed, "I'll help you."

Sophia was confused.

He took Kate as his mother. Really? If things went on like this, would she have a brother?

Did Kate think of Albert as a son because her son was missing?

But… Sophia's missing brother was not as old as Albert.
