Chapter 1219
After confirming that Natalie was his daughter, Mikhail naturally learned about her situation.
Natalie is a mother of five. She and Samuel had four children together, and she also adopted one. There are three
boys and one girl among the four kids. Sophia is the name of the girl, which means “wisdom.” She should be the
one who can resemble Natalie and Jennie so closely, right?
He did not disturb the little girl tending the herbs but silently observed her from a corner. This child looks so much
like Natalie. Did my daughter also cultivate herbs in this way when she was young? I may not be a failure of a king,
but I've undoubtedly failed as a father!
Sorrow washed over Mikhail as he regarded the adorable Sophia. There's no going back in time. No matter how
much I'd like to cherish it now, I can't return to the past...
At first, Sophia focused intently on the small pot in her hand as she examined the herbs in the courtyard, but

Just like that, their eyes met.
Mikhail's heart skipped a beat when he saw her large doe-like eyes staring back at him.
Sophia instinctively stood up and waved warmly and sweetly at him, thinking he was a friend of Natalie or Samuel.
Then, clutching a small book to record the growth cycle of the herbs, she changed into clean slippers in the
courtyard before returning to the living room and approaching Mikhail with small steps. “Hello, Sir,” she greeted
with a sweet smile as she raised her head to look at him.
The way she greeted him made him feel as if his heart would explode with sweetness.
As a result, even after a long while, Mikhail still did not snap back to his senses. After all, the man in his fifties kept
hearing her voice echoing in his head.
Sophia furrowed her eyebrows. What's wrong with this man? Is he a little off in the head?
She lifted her hand, grabbed a corner of Mikhail's sleeve, and tugged it gently. “Sir, are you all right?” she asked.
Even though the little girl ought to have called him “Granddad,” he was very fond of the way she addressed him.
She makes it sound so adorably respectful. Although Samuel's identity is a mystery, Natalie is my daughter, so I
don't see why he can't be my live-in son-in-law!
Mikhail crouched down and shook his head at her. “I'm fine. It's all good.”
“That's good to know.” Sophia scratched her head shyly and continued, “You're looking for my mommy, right? She
isn't back yet. Her medical skills are amazing, and I'm learning from her. She praised me on my quick learning, but I
know my skills are far behind hers.”
She was not one to readily warm up to people, yet, for some reason, she found him easy to get close to.
He... He shouldn't be a bad person, right?
“Look at this kid. She's good in medicine, yet so humble!” Mikhail's sense of pride welled up, and he asked the
attendant beside him, “Don't you think so, Brody?”
Although Brody's top priority was to serve as a bodyguard this time, he had no choice but to play along with the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmking.
He nodded fervently, resembling a bobblehead doll. “Yes! Absolutely!”
Mikhail spent a long time searching his pockets for something nice to gift Sophia. However, he found that he came
unprepared this time, having neither brought any valuable items nor any chocolate candy that could make a child
happy.
“Sir, what are you looking for?”
“I can't find anything.” He sighed regretfully before continuing, “I didn't bring any nice things with me this time, but
it's fine. I'll still find a way to come again, and when I do, I'll surely bring you many nice things!”
Sophia nodded. “It's all right, Sir. Next time, then!”
“Such a good child. Look at how polite she is, Brody. She's not greedy at all!”
The attendant agreed fervently once again. “Yes! Of course!”
Sophia thought Mikhail was referring to a doll or herb seeds, but little did she know that her soon-to-be grandfather
had planned to send over collection-worthy items from Luna Palace when he next came over because he would not
tolerate his granddaughter looking down on him!
