Sophie's chaotic mind suddenly calmed down.
She looked up at Charles and smiled.
The stiffness in her muscles relaxed, and she smiled genuinely.
Yes, she had him, she wasn't alone at all.
Moreover, she was given a second life to be with him and live happily ever after.
"Mm-hmm." Sophie nodded, lifting her hand and covering his large hand with her small one, "With you, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Charles's heart trembled slightly, he lowered his eyes and said quickly, "I'll spoil you so much that you can't leave me."
Sophie was obviously taken aback, unable to comprehend Charles's line of reasoning.
What he said had nothing to do with what they were discussing... wait, wait a minute... before they mentioned her parentage issue, it seemed... this was exactly what they were talking about.
Sophie was completely speechless.
Was Charles's response time a bit long?
No!
Sophie suddenly realized, squinting her eyes "dangerously" at Charles.
