Chapter 452 Matchmaking
Sophia's sharp eyes caught sight of Adelaide and immediately called out to her: "Adelaide!"
Adelaide's expression stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
She walked in with a smile and opened her arms to hug Sophia: "I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect you to spot me so quickly."
"Of course it's because Adelaide is so beautiful, I saw you right away!"
Sophia hugged her arm, and compliments poured out of her mouth like they cost nothing, making Adelaide incredibly happy.
Her fair fingertip gently tapped Sophia's forehead, "You're such a sweet talker!"
Sophia giggled and covered her forehead, sticking out her tongue playfully and charmingly.
Adelaide's gaze fell on Celestia as she asked, "Celestia, are you here to see Sophia too?"
Celestia snapped back to reality and stammered in response: "Yes!"
Adelaide glanced at Celestia with surprise. She hadn't met Celestia many times, but couldn't bring herself to like her.
Celestia was too spoiled and willful, and sometimes would throw tantrums regardless of the occasion.
Adelaide's deepest memory was from when she was little and visited the White Manor.
Preston gave her and Celestia candy, and Celestia cried and made a fuss trying to snatch her candy just because she got a flavor she didn't like.
Adelaide wasn't someone to be pushed around.
Celestia was the only daughter of the White family, and she was the only daughter of the Martinez family.
Who was more noble than whom?
Why should she have to give in to Celestia?
So she beat up Celestia, who was several years younger than her, and made her cry hard.
After that, Celestia chose to avoid her every time they met.
However, what she didn't expect was that Celestia would actually like Matthew.
Fate really was playing tricks.
When they were young, Celestia wanted the candy in her hand, and now she had fallen for the same man as her.
But this time, she didn't want to compete.
Because she and Matthew had broken up many years ago, and she had no right to interfere with his love life.
And... she didn't deserve it.
From the moment she chose to leave, she no longer deserved his love.
Adelaide came back to her senses, smiled at her, and handed what she was holding to Sophia.
"This is for you, see if you like it."
"What is it?" Sophia curiously took the box from her hands.
Adelaide didn't answer, but smiled and said, "Open it and see for yourself, won't you know then?"
Sophia gave her a playfully annoyed look - she was being all mysterious now.
She quickly unwrapped the box in her hands and couldn't help but show a delighted expression.
"Isn't this my favorite music box? Adelaide, when did you buy this?"
Sophia really loved these girly little things.
Robert and her senior brothers always gave gifts based on their own preferences, and those all ended up as decorations.
After coming down from the mountain, she discovered that there were so many strange and interesting things in the world.
The music box Adelaide gave her was something she had stumbled upon on Facebook last month.
She thought it looked nice and looked at it a few more times.
She didn't expect Adelaide to actually buy it for her.
"I'm glad you like it. A friend of mine happened to be abroad, so I asked her to buy it and bring it back."
"Adelaide, you're so good to me! I'm declaring that from now on, you're my real sister!"
Looking at Sophia's soft little face, Adelaide felt her hands itch.
She had completely forgotten Benjamin's warning now and just followed her heart, pinching her face.
The soft touch was like fluffy cotton candy - it couldn't be better.
Adelaide thought to herself that if she had the chance in this lifetime, she would definitely have a daughter.
Preferably one like Sophia, sweet and soft.
She would definitely hold her and never let go.
Hearing Sophia's words, Adelaide also found it amusing: "You must never say that in front of Benjamin, otherwise..."
As Adelaide spoke, she made a throat-slitting gesture.
Thinking of Benjamin's possessive nature, Sophia nodded in agreement.
She felt he was absolutely capable of doing that.
"By the way, Adelaide, I have a gift for you too, wait for me a moment!"
Sophia got up directly, put on her slippers and quickly went upstairs.
Celestia sat to the side, watching the interaction between Adelaide and Sophia, feeling very awkward and a bit lost.
She felt that Sophia's attitude toward her was completely different from her attitude toward Adelaide.
When Adelaide and Sophia interacted, it was as if she didn't exist, which made her feel terrible.
She was the one from the White family!
Adelaide had nothing to do with her!
Why was Sophia so nice to others but always cold to her?
And... why did it have to be Adelaide?
Didn't Sophia know that she and Adelaide had never gotten along since childhood?
In her view, Sophia was deliberately trying to upset her! So mean!
She had originally wanted to come and improve her relationship with Sophia, but now it seemed that Sophia didn't need it at all!
In the end, Celestia left in a huff.
Adelaide thought Celestia was being inexplicable, but quickly pushed her out of her mind.
She would never waste her energy on someone unimportant.
This was her principle for dealing with people.
When Sophia came down with her gift, she found that Celestia was gone.
She had originally thought that since everyone present should get something, she had specially prepared one for Celestia.
Although she didn't like Celestia, everyone present should get a share after all, and it wasn't anything expensive anyway.
Adelaide got a full box, so she would reluctantly and painfully... give Celestia one.
But now it seemed that wasn't necessary anymore.
Celestia, who had just left Maple Grove Villas, had no idea what she had missed and only felt frustrated.
She had never been ignored like this before!
Sophia was so awful!
Sophia, who was being cursed at, had already delivered the gift to Adelaide.
Adelaide's eyes widened in surprise, "What's this?"
"This is a new lipstick I just made, it hasn't officially launched yet, and you're the first person to try it!"
Adelaide was even more delighted now. She knew that the cosmeceutical brands under the Lumina Group were almost all developed by Sophia.
She had been buying and using them for years, and the effects were really good, and the lipstick shades were absolutely gorgeous.
Once when she was out shopping, someone asked her what brand her lipstick was.
She didn't expect the Lumina Group to release new products so quickly?
Adelaide immediately took out a lipstick and applied it using her phone as a mirror.
The lipstick effect was indeed very good and really brightened her complexion.
Her features were already striking and bold, and with the lipstick, she looked even more captivatingly beautiful.
The other lipstick shades were also very nice. She was sure that once these lipsticks hit the market, they would definitely sell out!
"Sophia, thank you for the gift, I love it!"
Sophia's bright, mischievous eyes sparkled as she leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Actually... Matthew asked me to give it to you."
The smile on Adelaide's lips froze as she showed a shocked expression.
