NovelEndChapter 1890 Other guys wanted to get close to Sophie, and his first reaction was, "Do you even stand a chance?" He seemed to have gotten used to hanging back, always there behind Sophie.

But...
The more Harold thought about it, the more frustrated he got. He slammed his fist on the table. Wasn't he just being a pushover? When he really thought about it, his actions weren't much different.
Rick, who walked in from outside the study, paused at the scene. "Mr. Harold, this is the new desk Mr. Gordon just bought." Feeling embarrassed, Harold pulled back his fist quickly. Trying to cover up the awkwardness, he stood up and said, "Uh, I just remembered I have homework. I'll go do that now." With that, Harold left Gordon's study in a hurry.
Rick, puzzled, asked, "Sir, isn't Mr. Harold just starting college? Do they give out assignments that fast?" "He doesn't lie," Gordon replied calmly. "He must be... in love." "In love?" Rick was taken aback. He hadn't seen Mr. Harold show any interest in anyone.
Gordon didn't say more, but he understood Harold's inner chaos. Liking someone, especially when you're not sure about your feelings, can be a real mess.

Outside, Sophie stood there, surprised, and asked, "What's up with you?" Seeing Sophie, Harold's mood darkened even more. Annoyed, he said, "What are you doing here again?" "Your brother said you were upset and askedto ccheer you up." Sophie stifled a laugh and asked, "Are you really mad?" Harold's expression grew worse.
"Con, I was just joking. Why are you so upset?" Sophie patiently coaxed, "Harold is your brother, how about that?" "That's more like it." Harold turned his head away.
But he quickly caught a problem. He I said, "Sophie,) doing this on purpose, aren't, tene my brother!" Conte He is my brother!" "He's your years, other, but in a few be your sister-in-law. Your brother said not to squabble with Harold, who had just been comforted, suddenly flared up again after hearing Sophie say that. "Are
you here to apologize or to annoy me? Go, go! Don't botherfdon't want to see you right now! With that, Harold gently pushed Sophie out of the room.
Sophie called out, "Hey! I'm not finished talking!"
"Who wants to hear you talk!" Harold shut the door with a bang, gndring Sophie's knocking.
Harold made up his mind. Starting today, he wasn't going to be Sophie's sidekick anymore.
