Chapter 608
Sophia nodded. Then, she heaved a sigh. “Don’t go on a diet. You’re perfectly fine, so why would you
do so? Perhaps the person you meet in the future likes you just as you are right now.”
Robin said nothing.
As the two men in the dining room ate, they lost all sense of time. In the end, Robin gave up waiting
and took her leave from Sophia, saying that she would like to go home first. Thus, Sophia saw her to
the entrance of themunity and watched as she got into a taxi and left. Standing at the gate, she
looked around before pivoting and going back in.
On the street a near distance away was a parked car. Someone was sitting inside with a camera in
hand, snapping away in Sophia’s direction. Only when she’d disappeared from sight did the person put
the camera down and wound up the car window. Subsequently, he checked the photos taken.
Seemingly very much satisfied, he then put everything away and started the car before driving off.
Having absolutely no idea about that, Sophianguidly went back into the house. John and Logan were
still drinking as the two of them started discussing the Bailey Family. As Logan disliked Isabelle, he
spoke ill of her every so often, criticizing her incessantly. Leaning against the entrance to the dining
room, Sophia listened for a while before she found it futile. Actually, each person has his or her own
opinion as to whether Isabelle is a nice person. Forcing one’s view onto another person will only
backfire. She then turned around and went upstairs.
My mind is only feeling much clearer now. For the entire day today, I’d been feeling really drowsy. She
then did a search online, only to find out that it was an early pregnancy symptom. She touched her
stomach, not quite certain how she felt about this little one in her belly. This child came at an untimely
time, but she wasn’t all that averse to it. Anyhow, abortion had never crossed her mind. While she
wasn’t a kind person, she just couldn’t bring herself to do so. To her, it was extremely cruel if she were
to forcibly strip away the life within her.
She then drank the blood nourishing liquid tonic John bought before climbing into bed and lying down.
At this time, her cell phone on the bedside table rang again. She could guess who it was since no one
else would be calling at this hour. Lifting a hand, she groped for the phone. Subsequently, she cast a
nce at it and answered the call. “Well, what is it?”
The woman’s voice was tinged with a hint of ingratiation, and she didn’t speak of anything serious,
merely asking Sophia whether she’d had dinner. Sophia said nothing, keeping mum. The woman then
gave a light cough, perchance finding things too awkward. Then, she said, “The picture I sent you the
other day was of your sister. Your sister—”
“I have no sister,” Sophia asserted. All at once, the other end went silent. “My parents are both
deceased. Since young, I only had a grandfather, and he passed away a little over a year ago. I’m now
all alone without any rtives, not even one.” Her voice was very cid yet not exactly indifferent,

merely the kind of attitude one would employ with a stranger.
A sigh came from the other end, and the woman’s voice started cracking. “I knew it! I knew that you’d
resent us. But Soph, we had our own difficulties. Back then, your father wanted to start a business, but
as you know, that poverty-stricken ce was no ce for a business. Later on, we owed people too
much money, and they came to demand repayment every single day. Our life was dismal, so your
father and I had no choice but to leave and make a living elsewhere. We wanted to make some money
and return for a good life.”
Sophia dissolved intoughter. “Well, the two of you have left for more than 20 years, no? Where’s the
money? Were you two dazzled after going out there and seeing the myriad temptations of the world?
You then felt that it’s better out there, and there’s nothing to miss at the small mountain vige back
home. Am I right?”
