Sophia wasn’t crying. Rather than feeling sad, she was just a little tired. Just when she thought she could live a
happy life with John, her biological mother came to trouble her.
Before long, John came back into the car and stroked her face. Without Sophia having to ask, he said, “They’re
leaving tomorrow, and they’ve promised to never harass you again. Don’t worry.”
Sophia grunted in response.
Knowing that it was useless for him to say anything at this point, as no one could console her except for herself,
John simply heaved a sigh. “Let’s go home.”
When the car started moving, Sophia exhaled slowly and said, “From now on, I have no more relatives. Perhaps I
should celebrate.”
John turned to her, who was gazing out the window with an indifferent expression, as though she wasn’t the one
who said that just a moment ago. Then, he pulled her hand toward him and gripped it firmly. “You still have me.”
Sophia didn’t give him any response.
When they reached home, the sky had turned dark. After the car was parked in the garage, John helped Sophia get
out of the car as they held hands and headed for the main building.
At that moment, William was smoking in the yard just outside the main building. Clueless about why they had gone
out, he greeted them when he saw them. “You’re back.”

her own home.”
Stopping in his tracks, John turned to look at his father, whose expression was uneasy. William said after a cough,
“Well, your grandma told me that your mom had left.”
In disbelief, Sophia gazed at William, who was seen with a bashful expression at such a mature age.
Before John could speak, Sophia said, “Yes, she’s gone back to her own home because her family members don’t
want her to stay here. Given her identity, it’s inappropriate for her to live here, and they’re worried that your life
will be affected, so they’ve asked her to go home.”
Surprised for a moment, William then nodded. “I see. That’s why she left.”
Exhausted, Sophia turned to John. “Will you stay here to chat with Master William? I’m going to take a rest now.”
Worried about her, John insisted on sending her to her room before coming back down.
When Sophia stepped into the house, she turned to look at William, who appeared to be anxious. Although she was
in a bad mood, she was still amused by the look on William’s face.
After John brought Sophia to the bedroom and made her sit down, he returned to his father.
Upon giving it a thought, Sophia fished out her phone and sent Matilda a message. It took Matilda a long time to
reply to her. When her message came, she said that she was in a difficult situation. Sophia didn’t quite understand
the message. As a straightforward woman herself, she decided to give Matilda a call.
When the call was connected, Matilda inquired in a lowered voice, “Sophia, what’s wrong? Why are you calling me
at this hour?”
Sensing that Matilda was accompanied by someone, Sophia asked, “Where are you? And what are you doing? I’m
bored, so I wanna chat with you.”
Matilda replied, “Oh, I’m outside with a friend.”
Why didn’t I know that she has other friends? After some deliberation, Sophia questioned, “Why are you still outside
at night? It’s dangerous.”
Matilda answered, “You’re right. I’m going home soon.” Since she was a little busy, she told Sophia that she would
call her back later.
Sophia grunted and said, “I’ll wait for your call.”
