The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1176

Sophia leaned on the balcony rail, fluttering her eyelashes playfully. "Just hypothetically speaking, if you never find her, would you consider settling with another woman?"

Theo responded. "There's no such ‘if.’"

Sophia pouted. "You're such a bore! You can't even entertain a hypothetical?"

Theo gave her a stern look. "What exactly are you getting at?"

Sophia smiled coyly. "I'm just saying... if you never do find Ellinor, I could share your life with you. After all, we've been married before overseas. We're not strangers to each other."

Yes, they had indeed been married overseas.

Back when Theo's grandfather was pressuring him to get married and threatening not to have surgery unless Theo tied the knot, he had found a faux wife to put his grandfather at ease.

Sophia was his chosen one.

They had been good friends for many years, understood each other well, and had minimal conflicts, so it was convenient to ask her for this favor.

After they got married overseas, he showed the marriage certificate to his grandfather.

Theo's grandfather was no fool. Worried that his grandson might quietly divorce after his surgery, he insisted that a proper engagement and wedding ceremony be held in their home country, in front of everyone. Not a single ceremony could be skipped!

But Sophia was not willing to cooperate with the divorce. She demanded compensation.

She claimed that he turned her, a single woman, into a divorcee, which affected her greatly and caused a huge loss for her.

He knew this had indeed affected Sophia and agreed to her compensation request.

But what Sophia desired was not money. She demanded that he accompany her in M State for a month, after which she would cooperate with the divorce process.

He happened to have a new project in M state that needed his personal supervision, so he agreed to her terms.
