Charlie could not help but stammer after hearing this, and he sighed as he said, "Your schedule is a little too packed."
"It doesn't matter." Sophie said firmly, "I'm in particularly good health now, and this small thing does not matter at all."
After saying that, Sophie then looked at Charlie bashfully as she said in a delicate voice and pleading tone, "Benefactor, aside from my mother, I only have you as my only friend in Aurous Hill. So, if I look for you to come out and hang out with me when the time comes, you cannot refuse me."
Charlie nodded. After that, he casually agreed as he laughed and said, "As long as time allows, it definitely will not be a problem."
"Alright, then!"
After getting the answer that she wanted the most, Sophie finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Charlie looked at the time and spoke up, "It's already late. I will send you back to the Schulz family's mansion first."
Sophie hurriedly asked, "Benefactor, are you going back to the Wade family's mansion tonight?" "No.” Charlie said indifferently, "I'll go back to Uncle
Golding’s house. I feel more comfortable and at ease there."
Sophie suddenly thought of Quinn and the marriage contract between Charlie and Quinn. After that, she came to a sudden realization and nodded.
Charlie asked Isaac to prepare a car for him. After that, he personally drove Sophie and himself as he headed for the Schulz family's mansion.
On the way, Sophie secretly looked at Charlie’s side profile, and she wanted to say something several times, but she kept holding back in the end.
As Sophie spoke, she mustered the courage to look at Charlie as she said seriously, "In truth, in the past, I could not quite understand my mother's actions, and I felt that she really let my father down. Even if the both of them had spoken about this before they got married, I also felt that my mother should not have been so stingy with my father when it came to love..."
At this point, Sophie lowered her eyelids and said quietly, "However, since I met you, I can finally understand my mother more and more now. Back then, she must have been in the same situation as I a m in right now. She could not help but fall in love with a man whom she could not get..."
Charlie coughed twice. "Cough, cough! It’s a little too hasty to say such things now..."
Sophie shook her head. She looked at Charlie and said seriously, "This is how things actually are. However, I will not be like my mother. If I was her, I would rather choose not to marry anyone for the rest of my life instead of getting married to a man that I do not love."
After saying that, Sophie looked at Charlie, and both sides of her cheeks bulged slightly as she said seriously, "Charlie! If I end up being a spinster in the future or even if I end up living the rest of my life alone, don't doubt it, but it must be because of you!"
