Sophia was not indifferent to everything he had done.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have decided to try to have a relationship with him.
But then, she began to waver on whether her decision was
correct or not.
She had never seen through Derick, yet she was still willing to get to know him bit by bit.
But he did not give himself this opportunity.
He kept her there in a forceful manner, which she resisted vehemently.
It seemed as if I had glimpsed the icy, sinister side beneath his gentle facade.
On this side, it was specifically used to deal with her.
She couldn’t accept.
That heart, which had already begun to soften, eventually sealed

itself off, becoming hard.
Didn’t know how much time had passed.
The light in the room gradually dimmed.
The manor, dimly lit, was completely silent.

The light and shadow were cast into the window, she looked at it indifferently, feeling it was very unreal.
She wanted to go home.
Uncle had received her message, he would tell Brycen and Cecilia, right?
Knowing she wasn’t dead, they would probably be slightly comforted.
But she couldn’t settle down.
What was Derick’s purpose for keeping her locked up here?
She took a deep breath, she had to leave.
Suddenly.

She thought of Virginia.
Could it be, everything she said was true?
Sophia’s complexion kept changing.
Didn’t know how much time had passed.
The sound of a servant gently knocking on the door came from outside.
“Madam, the meal was left at the door, please remember to eat it.”
Derick’s instructions, he was always thorough and meticulous.
But the current Sophia, however, couldn’t be moved at all.
She didn’t sleep well at all that night..
Was occasionally awakened by nightmares.
It was as if she had returned to the moment when she was hanging on the cruise ship, the rope was loosened, and she fell into the sea.
A sense of suffocation surged over me.

She sat up abruptly, covered in cold sweat.
She looked around at the pitch–black surroundings, her heart beating extremely fast.
Barefoot, he walked to the window, looking out at the night sky filled with dark clouds, the gloom in his heart deepened a bit.
The next day.
Seeing the untouched food at her door, Derick’s eyes darkened a bit.
He didn’t even know how to face her.
He pursed his lips, his voice clear and cold:
“The lady had no appetite, so I had to make something to her liking, making sure she ate well.”
The servant knew Sophia’s position in Derick’s heart, so he didn’t dare to say more at the moment, he could only bow his head and respond.
Only after hearing Derick’s car leave did Sophia slowly open her eyes.

The glaring light caused her a moment of discomfort.
She paused for a while before getting up to wash and brush up as usual.
Then opened the door.
She didn’t go downstairs, instead she went in the opposite direction of the corridor.
The study room.
She stood at the entrance of the study, taking a deep breath.
I was just about to open the door, but the doorknob wouldn’t turn at all.
The door was locked.
Sophia’s heart suddenly turned cold.
She turned and went to the room next door, which was Derick’s bedroom.
She was just about to open the door when she heard the servant calling her from the other side of the corridor:

“Madam, were you awake?”
Sophia jolted, instinctively pulling back her hand.
She was somewhat guilty.
However, she quickly reacted, brushed the hair beside her ear, and responded.
“I came to find Derick…”
The servant came over, seeing that she was not as unusually behaved as yesterday, he sighed in relief and said with a smile:
“The gentleman had already gone to the company and was not in the room.”
Sophia lowered her gaze, uttering a soft “oh“.
She stood at the door without moving, looking up at the servant:
“Did you clean his room?”
“The gentleman didn’t mention cleaning today…”
The servant answered respectfully.

“Madam, what would you like to eat? You didn’t eat anything yesterday. The sir was terribly worried. Let us prepare something to your liking.”
Sophia spoke softly, “Let’s have some domestic dishes, can you cook?”
The servant was taken aback, seemingly not expecting this request.
“We were about to look for a local chef…”
The chefs here all came from high–end restaurants, emphasizing nutritional balance and the color, aroma, and taste of the food.
But clearly, Sophia didn’t want this kind.
The servant descended the stairs with a serious expression, hurrying off to find the cook.
Sophia chuckled lightly, then directly twisted the doorknob of Derick’s bedroom.
Unexpectedly.
It could actually be opened.
Sophia’s eyes relaxed, she exhaled, and then immediately pushed the door open.
She looked at the overly simple bedroom, experiencing a moment of stunned silence.
The interior decor style was vastly different from the room she lived in.
The texture was in a simple black, white, and gray style, but the taste and style were not vulgar.
There was a somewhat chilly feeling.
The terrace seemed to be more gentle, shielded by a screen, ⚫ with a tatami mat placed on it, and an open book next to it.
It was a modern novel from Mautiland.
The room was large, but there was a sense of loneliness at the top.
It was completely inconsistent with the gentle face that Derick usually had.
There was no information in the room.
No wonder even the servants could come and go.

If there was a secret, how could it be blatantly placed here for people to find?
Sophia left here in despair.
The servant really did hire a chef from our home country, who cooked dishes with our local flavors.
She usually ate light meals, in fact, she couldn’t handle food with strong flavors.
But everything was ready, she went downstairs and the smell stimulated her appetite greatly.
Adding to the fact that she didn’t eat yesterday, she was also hungry, so she ate quite a lot this meal.
The servant on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
Had finished eating.
The servant immediately called Derick:
“The lady has had her meal, sir.”
The gloom between Derick’s eyebrows was swept away.

Sophia wanted to go out, but Derick had ordered that she could not step out of the estate at all.
It seemed like even bothering to find an excuse was too much effort.
Apart from leaving, she was almost living in luxury inside, without any worries about food and clothing.
Haven’t seen Derick for several days in a row.
It seemed like he was deliberately avoiding her as well.
Virginia had not come again either.
The servant’s mouth was tight–lipped, he wouldn’t utter a single useful word.
Such a life almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
Finally.
She couldn’t help it anymore.
That day, sitting at the dining table, looking at the array of

dishes, she directly threw her chopsticks away.
“I wanted to see Derick.”
The servants exchanged glances, but without delay, the message reached Derick’s ears.
Derick was silent for a few seconds.
Still drove back to the manor.
These past few days, he had been tormenting himself.
Because of his impulsive behavior that day, he didn’t even know how to face her.
I didn’t know what kind of reason to use to keep her.
Derick arrived at the mansion, the butler used to open the car door for him.
“Sir, the lady was in the living room.”
Derick paused for a moment, but still stepped onto the stairs.
Sir, Madam, this was his home.

If it could have gone on like this forever, how wonderful it would have been!
But think about her cold and distant gaze.
It caused inexplicable panic and confusion.
When his tall figure appeared in the living room.
Sophia put down the coffee in her hand and stood up.
They had cooled off for a few days, but they hadn’t forgotten about what happened that day.
Derick tried hard to be as before, his stern features softened, his eyes clear and bright as he looked at her, and he smiled slightly.
Longed to return to the way it was before.
“How long did you want to lock me up?”
Her tone was cold and calm.
