The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3003

Sophie's words suddenly made Claire feel even more embarrassed.

She stroked the hair between her temples before she hesitated as she said ambiguously, "This... Well, I don't know if it's considered an arranged marriage..."

Sophie could not help but say, "The both of you did not know or understand each other before you got married. So, there is naturally no emotional foundation between the both of you. At the same time, the both of you only got married at your grandfather's request. Isn't that a typical arranged marriage? This is just like Marie Antoinette's marriage to Louis XVI in ancient history. The both of them did not have any feelings for each other, and they only got married at Louis XVI's mother's request."

With that said, Sophie suddenly thought of something as she asked offhandedly, "It seems as though Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette never had any romantic feelings between them throughout their whole lives Could it be the same case for the both of you?!"

Claire felt even more uneasy because of Sophie's blunt and straightforward words, and she said awkwardly, "I ... I... This... This..."

Sophie suddenly had a very joyful look in her eyes

because of Claire's nervousness and uneasiness. 4

Sophie felt that her assumption must be right, and that was the reason why Claire was acting so unnaturally.

If her assumption was indeed correct, then Charlie and Claire were only a couple in name.

In that case, wouldn't that mean that she would stand a better chance? 2

Helen, who was aside, also gained some clues from Claire's reaction, and she also realized that this was indeed an excellent situation for her daughter.

But at the same time, she also felt a little ashamed of herself for having such thoughts. After all, this kind of matter was not honorable, and it was even a little despicable.

At this time, Sophie hurriedly stepped forward and held onto Claire's arm as she asked in a low voice," Claire, can you tell me how long you and your husband have been married?" 2

Claire replied truthfully, "We have been married for four years."

"Four years?" Sophie pretended to be surprised as she asked, "Then, can you tell me how people like you, who are in an arranged marriage, get along with each other during your four years of marriage? Do you respect each other as friends, or do you simply put on an act in front of others but basically do not interfere with each other's lives in private?" 2

Claire was even more embarrassed because of Sophie's question, and she suddenly did not know what she should say. 2

However, the more awkward Claire was, the more Sophie was even more convinced of her own suspicions. So, she began to feel even more relaxed. 1

When Helen, who was aside, saw that Claire's face was already flushed red because of Sophie's

questioning, she hurriedly said toet

Sophie "Sophie, stop talking

nonsense here. How can you be so nosy and try to pry your nose in other people's privacy?"

Sophie also realized that it was indeed inappropriate for her to do so, and she hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, Claire. I was being too nosy."

Claire heaved a sigh of relief and she hurriedly said, "It's okay."

After she was done speaking, she quickly took out her tablet from her bag and opened up the sketch that she had designed before she said to Helen, "Aunt Dunn, let's talk about the plan!"

Helen swiftly replied, "Yes! It's much more important to talk about business matters!"

Sophie was jumping with joy in her heart at this moment.

All this while, she had always felt that there were too many obstacles between Charlie and herself, and the possibility of them ending up together was next to

nothing.

Amongst them, the biggest obstacle of all was Charlie's wife, which was comparable to the unsurmountable Mount Everest.

Secondly, there was also Quinn

Golding, who had a marriage

contract, with Charlie. Besides that,

Charlie might even have many more particularly close female friends that she did not know of. 6
