Derick was speaking with a slight smile.
But at that moment, Sophia had no doubts.
She believed.
In the hail of bullets just now, didn’t he prove himself once again?
This man had given her a sense of security and preference.
She smiled softly, her eyes curving with warmth in her heart:
“I knew, but you also had to protect yourself, we all had to live well!”
Why did we have to define true love with life and death?
She preferred to sustain this relationship with the warmth of a slow and steady stream.
A shock hit his chest, causing him to pause slightly.

Derick looked at her, her eyes bright and moist, her smile sweet, her gaze unfathomably deep.
Very quickly.
He smiled gently, gripping her hand tightly:
“Alright, we all needed to live well.”
The car was heading towards the direction of the manor.
Derick’s phone rang.
He glanced, showing no emotion, then hung up and didn’t
answer.
The phone rang again.
He still hung up.
And then, the inside of the car fell silent.
Sophia looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window, her mood seemed quite good.

“Did Laurent solve it? Can I go back to my country now? I miss my mom and dad so much.”
Derick’s eyes deepened slightly, gripping her hand with a gentle force:
“Weren’t you happy with me?”
“Of course not, it’s just that…”
Sophia paused for a moment, then said with a smile:
“This isn’t a conflict at all. You can go back with me. Your domestic project isn’t finished yet. Are you not going to go?”
Derick’s thin lips tightened slightly, his voice warm and deep:
“It’s different, I temporarily… can’t go back yet.”
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, just about to say something, when the car drove into the estate.
Derick got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“You rest first, I went to handle some things.”
Sophia smiled and nodded.

She turned around and went in, without asking any further questions.
Laurent’s matter?

Although Derick seemed gentle, he had a lot of complex things hidden in his heart.
From his conversation with Laurent, it was evident that the Woodward family was not a place where one could grow up happily.
His years of patience would eventually need an opportunity to turn the tables!
He didn’t want to speak, and she didn’t ask.
Having gone through a real hail of bullets, Sophia sat on the soft, warm bed, her whole body relaxing, only then faintly feeling a soreness in her bones.
Could it have been due to excessive fear?
She took a bath to relieve her fatigue and felt much more comfortable.
The entire estate was very quiet.

She was looking forward to going back with Derick, Brycen and Cecilia would definitely be surprised when they saw!
Also looking forward to, the incredulous expressions on Camille and Annie’s faces when they saw that he had returned alive!
Sooner or later, she had to give it back.
She originally had more to say to Derick.
But he did not come back for a long time.
She unknowingly fell asleep while lying in bed.
This sleep was very long.
He didn’t wake up until noon the next day.
She freshened up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
The servant immediately brought out the prepared breakfast.
“Did the madam wake up? Could you see if there is anything you would like to eat here? If not, we can arrange for something else.”
Sophia glanced and smiled, saying:

“It was pretty good, I just woke up and preferred to eat something light.”
She felt somewhat embarrassed for waking up so late, luckily she still had the excuse of not feeling well.
“Did Derick leave?”
“Sir… never came back.”
The servant told the truth.
Sophia paused, “Hasn’t come back yet?”
Sophia was somewhat surprised. Since she woke up, she had seen him almost every day, no matter how late it was.
The occurrence of not returning home at night was indeed rare.
Perhaps he had encountered some tricky situation?
Laurent was controlled by him, so naturally, he no longer needed to restrain his own freedom.
She wanted to go out for a stroll as soon as she finished her meal.

The servant stood there uncomfortably once again:
“Madam, after what happened yesterday, Mr. Woodward is worried about you and has asked you not to go out for the next few days.”
Sophia’s face stiffened, “He didn’t tell me.”
“Before he left, he said, ‘Madam, you can instruct us if you need anything.”
The servant stood there with a smile, but had no intention of stepping aside.
Sophia was silent for a few seconds.
There was some displeasure in my heart.
She couldn’t think of a reason why she couldn’t go out.
But the servant and the butler in front of her were blocking her way, not letting her leave.
She could only turn around and go upstairs, somewhat disappointed.
The whole day.

Derick did not show up.
Sophia also didn’t go out.
She was somewhat angry.
Derick couldn’t have left without saying a word!
The following afternoon.
Sophia sat on the balcony of the room, watching movies out of boredom.
Listening to the sound of car horns coming from outside.
Glancing up, I saw the pink Maserati blocked at the door once again.
Sophia’s heart gave a violent jolt.
She immediately ran down.
“Let her in.”
She stood not far away, watching the butler at the door speak.

The butler looked at her with difficulty:
“Madam, but Mr. Woodward had instructed…”
“Let her in, I’ll take responsibility for all the consequences.”
Sophia’s face was cold and her aloof attitude forced the servants to tread carefully.
The owner of the pink Maserati couldn’t help but stand up, the advantage of the convertible sports car emerged.
Virginia shouted at the top of her lungs directly:
“Open the door quickly! The gift that Ms. Gina asked me to bring for her niece–in–law is here!”
The butler knew that Derick had taken Sophia to Gina’s a few days ago.
Didn’t expect Virginia’s attitude to change so quickly.
Under Sophia’s cold gaze, the butler still had the door opened.
Virginia whistled, happily driving the Maserati in.
Sophia’s heart was beating fast, but she didn’t want others to

see her emotions, so she stood there calmly, waiting for Virginia
to come over.
She smiled, “Ms. Sullivan, we meet again.”
Virginia gave her a meaningful glance, tugged at the corner of her mouth, then tossed her a champagne–colored gift box and walked in without a second glance.
“I couldn’t just run errands for you for free, at least a cup of coffee was necessary, right?”
“Of course.”
Sophia entered, holding up her skirt, while instructing the
servant:
“Just deliver the coffee upstairs.”
“Yes.”
They were all worried that Virginia was bullying Sophia.
After all, in their eyes, Sophia was as good–tempered as a soft dumpling.
Virginia went upstairs on her own, arrived at the small balcony of the second–floor living room, and sat down.

Touched the texture of the custom–made sofa, looked at the dazzling diamond light fixtures on the ceiling, and sighed:
“He really liked you!”
Sophia was taken aback.
He discerned that this sentence was neither sarcastic nor ironic, it just sounded a bit awkward.
“Ms. Sullivan, you came for a reason, didn’t you?”
She placed the champagne–colored gift box on a piece, looking at Virginia.
Virginia seemed much more carefree than the last time we met, and she was no longer crying and upset.
“Look at the gift…”
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat as the champagne–colored gift box was opened in front of her.
Just at the moment she saw what was inside, she almost jumped up in excitement.
“Cellphone!”
