Chapter 239 Hey, Beauty, Are You Alone

Sophia nodded and said in a gentle voice, "Okay."

Before they left the counter, Aaron glanced at the diamond counter again. He noticed that Sophia was just wearing simple silver jewelry on her neck and wrist. He wanted her to wear more expensive jewelries as he knew that she would look more sophisticated with it. He knew that he had never bought anything for his sister. That was the reason why he had asked her if there was something she liked. Today's the time that he treated her sister like a princess.

Then they made their way to the clothes section. After Sophia picked out several sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes for Aaron, they paid for everything and went out of the mall with lots of shopping bags on their hands.

Aaron put all the clothes and shoes they bought into the trunk of the Cadillac SUV which is given by Colin. "Sophia, what should we have for dinner? What kind of food do you want to eat?" Aaron said while he was busy placing the clothes inside the trunk.

Sophia thought about it for a while and then suggested in an excited voice, "Let's go to the street food stalls. It has been a while since we ate at such places. It would be wonderful to eat there again."

When she was still going out with Colin, they would never go to the street food stall. The restaurants they went to have dinner were always very fancy. Of course, that was Colin. He would always think that street food was dirty. Because of that, Sophia hasn't eaten street food for a long time already.

"Okay then. I know a small place on the side of Kaixuan Street and they make the best barbecue and shashliks. Let's go!" Aaron responded with an equally excited voice. Then they quickly got into the car and left the mall.

During early winter, few people would go to food stalls because of the cold weather. Under a big red tent, there were a few tables, and only two tables were occupied with customers.

A couple was sitting at one table and several men were huddled at another one. Aaron suddenly was on his alert self as it seemed that the men were gangsters from the neighborhood. You could tell that they could be dangerous men because of their fat gold chains, the tattoos on their forehead and on their neck... They were also using a lot of bad words and curses in their conversation.

Aaron parked the Cadillac on the side of the street. Because of how fancy the car was, they looked out of place in the crowded and messy streets. They caught so much attention right after Sophia got off the car.

Sophia and Aaron found a relatively quiet place in a corner far away from the crowd. Sophia sat with her back against the onlookers, while Aaron sat down across from Sophia.

The street stall was owned by a woman. She was lovingly carrying her sleeping child on her arms. Sophia thought that the woman already looked so exhausted.

In order to make a living, the woman had to go to work with her child. She has no other choice. Sophia felt so sad when she saw the child. Life was not easy at all, especially for these people.

Somehow, everything reminded her

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

it.

"Hey, beauty. I see you are alone. Come over to out table. Why don't you join us?" When the man had a better look at Sophia's fair and lovely face, he smirked and showed off some dirty, yellowish teeth.

Sophia put down the shashlik on her hand and said, "My brother is coming back very soon. He just went out to get some milk. Go back to your friends."

"Oh, you're eating with your brother? Don't you have a boyfriend? A beautiful woman like you doesn't have a boyfriend?" Right after he said that, he sat down beside Sophia to her surprise.

There was laughter coming from behind them again. "Vivek, bring her to our table. Hurry up!"

"Vivek, can't you handle her? Do you need my help? It seems like you're having a problem right there."

"Hahaha..."

... They laughed so dirtily that Sophia didn't feel safe anymore. It was easy to tell that they were not nice people.

Sitting opposite Sophia, Vivek waved his hand at her and said, "Beauty, do me a favor. Just have one drink with us? That's all."

Sophia showed a grumpy expression. "Sorry. I don't know you. Please go back to your table."

When he saw her angrily pout at him, Vivek stood up straight in an instant and tried to reach for her hand. Sophia was able to dodge quickly. "Hey! Don't you know me? I'm Vivek! I'm a powerful man here in this area! Don't you dare refuse me! Guys, let's drag her to our table!"

After Vivek shouted his order, his fellows with the colorful dyed hair at his table stood up and started to approach Sophia.

Sophia glanced at the store across the street but Aaron has not come out yet. She was on her own right now. She has to do something.

Before the men got any closer, Sophia got up from the chair, took a long step backward and warned, "I'm warning you all. This is a safe and orderly neighborhood. Please don't make any trouble!"

"Well, well. Even though she is angry, she still looks pretty. Vivek, you have such great taste. Ha ha ha!"

What the man said brought more laughter and mocking. Sophia felt more uncomfortable.
