NovelAppChapter 48 Looking into James' eyes, Sophie knew it was futile to resist any longer. If she continued to challenge Jarnes, he might just have someone forcibly take her back htoday.
Sophie took a deep breath, She can bide his time, she thought, better to bow now than never "I understand," Sophie said. T'll be hat least twice a week, is that okay?" "Three times a week." "You!" Sophie was about to erupt in anger, but upon seeing the look in James' eyes, she managed to restrain herself. Studying for her Master's at Eastwood College wasn't too demandin, so visiting hthree times a week was certainly manageable, and James must have confirmed it with the dean before making such a demand.
Sophie adjusted her attitude and offered James an extremely forced smile, “Three times it is then, Mr. Burke, any other requests?" "If I call, you must chome, and I'll have Lee pick you up." Sophie took another deep breath, continuing to smile. "No problem, anything else?" "Not for now" Not for now, meaning there could be more demands in the future.

"I have business to attend to. I'll have Lee take you back to school later." James stood up and as if he suddenly remembered something, he abruptly said to Sophie, "Stay away from Harold." Harold? Why would James bring up Harold out of the blue? Sophie carefully recalled the events before she fainted. Could Harold and James have crossed paths? Later that afternoon, with these thoughts, Sophie was dropped off at school by Colt. She had expected to see Harold in class but to her Surprise, everyone was there except him.
"Sophie, con in." Adler called out to Sophie, who was zoning out at the classroom door.
Without a word, she took a seat in the back row. She had intended to catch Harold's attention and possibly get closer to him, but James' appearance had disrupted all her plans.
The Aldridge family and the Burke family were always at odds.
Being James' wife did have its advantages, but the downsides were significant.
Meanwhile, Nichole, who had cto Liberty Hall for a lecture, deliberately walked in this direction. Before she decided to prepare for graduate school, she had done quite a bit of research on this and knew what a typical day for a graduate student at Eastwood College entailed. These few days, these graduates should all be here for classes.
"Nichole, we're upstairs, hurry up." Krystal tugged at Nichole.

Nichole hesitated for a moment and said, "You guys go ahead, sign me' in, and ill be up in a bit."
"You've been having Tina sign in for you these past few days. What if the professor doesn't let you pass?" "Don't worry, I won't fall" Nichole was quite confident in her academic prowess.
"Alright then, I'll go up first"
Krystal headed upstairs, and Nichole, seeing nobody was paying attention, walked towards the corridor. She wanted to see if Sophie was really in that classroom. Sure enough, Nichole quickly spotted Sophie sitting in the last row through the classroom door window. Sophie was really there! A flash of jealousy surged through Nichole. She had always dreamed of being in this classroom.
