When he was young, he and Hudson often followed Sofia and horsed around.
Sofia was famous for her beauty in the vige with a gracefully slim figure and beautiful face. As the
prettiest girl in the vige, she had made quite a name for herself in the town.
Zeke had a crush on Sofia when he was in school and even wrote a love letter to her.
But he gave up after the confession made her so mad that she beat him up.
If Sofia was really married to Joshua, it would really be like casting pearls before swine.
Leaving his appearance aside, Joshua was nearly twenty years older than Sofia was.
Not only would Kyle and Olivia not agree to it, but Zeke would also not agree to it. After all, she was his
first love.
He strode into the living room. “Hi, Dad, Mom, I''m back.”
