The Kiss that Sparked it All

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!
Theo, left with no other choice, agreed to his grandfather’s terms.
However, on the day of the scheduled engagement ceremony, Sophia’s flight was forced to turn back due to bad weather, so she
couldn’t make it to the ceremony on time.
On that day, Theo met Ellinor, who unexpectedly kissed him, and he brought her to complete the ceremony.

Afterwards, his contact with Sophia gradually decreased, and he slowly forgot about their overseas marriage.
Recently, he and Ellinor got back together and planned to spend the rest of their lives together, which naturally required
marriage.
However, if he were to apply for a marriage license, the authorities would find out about his previous overseas marriage. He was
worried that Ellinor would get angry if she found out, so he wanted to get a divorce from Sophia first and then explain the
situation to her.
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.
