Chapter 128
After chatting for a while, the back of Sophia’s shirt was soaked with sweat.
I can’t go on hanging out with these important people. I’ll end up dying from shock sooner orter!
After a short pause, Joel continued, “Michael has left the Fletcher Family for many years. He has never
attended any of the family gatherings. What has he been busy withtely?”
Ideas shed through Sophia’s mind swiftly at this critical moment. She tried carefully analyzing what he
was implying because she didn’t want to miss any detail.
Firstly, that was a query—‘What has that bastard Michael been busy withtely? Why hasn’t he
returned to the Fletchers to visit me? I’ll destroy you if you don’t answer me in detail!’
Besides, it is a form of intimidation too—‘If you are able to answer me in detail, it means that you, the
mistress, are showing off your rtionship with Michael! I’ll destroy you anyway!’
In conclusion, Joel is trying to destroy me! I can’t help it since I’m the wife of the man he loves!
Sophia answered wittily, “I’m not quite sure, because I’m usually looking after the child at home. I
honestly have no idea what Michael does when he’s not at home.”
I am truly a responsible and dutiful nanny! Michael married me just to make sure Nate has aplete
family! He honestly does not love me at all. You should destroy Harry if you need to vent your
frustrations! Out of Michael’s harem, Harry is the favored concubine. I am merely the legal wife for show
without real power!
Joel kept quiet once again.
Michael’s actions so far is proof that this girl means the world to him. He is unexpectedly very caring
toward her. However, why does it sound as if Sophia doesn’t think so? Am I mistaken? Could it be
possible that Sophia isn’t in love with Michael, and he is merely ttering himself? I am always interested
in whatever Michael is interested in, and that includes military ranking, status and women. What I care
about is how to take over Michael’s possessions! He can’t possibly me me for making a move to
snatch this girl away from him if he truly cares about this young girl. Michael has himself to me, since
he is such an outstanding man. I’m always treated as second best within our generation in the Fletcher
Family thanks to him. Being second best only means that I am the biggest loser!
More often than not, men hadpletely different perspectives and outlook than women. At that
moment, Sophia was screaming in her heart, Saint Mary, save me; Jesus, protect me; May God have
mercy on me; angels, guard over me; Almighty Buddha, Amitabha, Amen! I truly have no interests in
participating with these bigshots’ love-hate rtionship! Please set me free and let me go!
Michael only fancies men; he doesn’t fancy women! Please don’t take it out on me!
Nevertheless, Sophia was unaware that soldiers were currently heavily guarding the outside of the
restaurant.
Michael was wearing a tuxedo, which made him look like a gentleman, paired with a stunning bowtie. He
brought a bottle of red wine with him, and he looked especially like a gentleman showing up for a date.
Harry and Nathan, who was wearing a dinner jacket, were nking him.

The three of them were all dressed up brilliantly, as if they were going on a television show.
However, when they arrived in front of the building, where Sophia and Joel were enjoying their meal, the
three of them were blocked outside.
“Only those within the building are allowed to leave; no one is allowed to enter. General’s orders.”
Suddenly, several ck muzzles were pointed at the three of them.
However, they didn’t seem scared at all; in fact, even Nathan was unfazed.
Michael rip apart his bowtie casually while asking the soldier, “Hasn’t it been agreed that I’m having
dinner tonight with the person from the military training who won the Best Individual award? Do you
regret it now? You should know that I charge an exorbitant fee for showing up.”
The soldier rejected him firmly, “I’m sorry, but no one is allowed to enter right now.”
Nevertheless, they wouldn’t dare make a move on Michael because he was the direct descendent of the
Fletchers. Furthermore, he was from a long line of fallen heroes, and so the soldiers wouldn’t possibly
have the courage to attack him!
Nathan did not say anything; instead, he took out a slingshot from his pocket and pulled the stic band
taut. After that, a stone flew out and hit the restaurant’s ss window.
In the restaurant, Sophia had been sitting on pins and needles while anxiously hoping that something—
such as a sudden foreign troop invasion, where Joel would be summoned off into battle within the first
three minutes—might happen to ease the awkward atmosphere. Suddenly, she heard a loud sound, and
the ss window smashed into pieces on the ground.
Sophia was so shocked that she ced her fork down and stood up abruptly. “Enemy spotted!”
Joel ced the fork down without rushing, and he stood up before walking to the window. His expression
soured when he observed the situation downstairs through the window.
“What is it?” Sophia approached the window carefully. She was astounded when she saw the situation
downstairs through the window.
Downstairs, an entire troop of fully-equipped special forces surrounded three figures—Michael, Harry,
and Nathan.
“Nate!” Sophia cried in surprise.
Oh, my God! Men are truly typical. When women disagree with each other, we get into verbal squabbles,
whereas men get into fights!
What earth-shattering conflict could have possibly happened between Michael and Joel?! Why would
they hurt each other while dragging innocent bystanders along with them since they are in love?!
I know that something huge must have happened between Michael and Joel. The two of them love each
other, but they are trying to hurt each other. It is clear that they are in love, but they keep hurting one
another. It would have been fine if they were merely hurting themselves, but they are actually hurting
those around them.
There are already countless heart-wrenching story endings going through my mind! But what on earth is
going on right now?!
Joel is having a meal with me, and he has been asking about Michael by beating around the bush.
Michael is here to stop us after catching wind about our dinner. However, Joel sent arge troop of
soldiers to stop them from entering the building! What is happening? This is too much to process. If it
were up to me, I’d choose death.
Upon seeing Sophia’s head peeking out from the broken window, Nathan immediately called for her
pitifully, “Mommy!”
He even reached out his arms for a hug.
Sophia felt her heart thudding against her chest. Nate has only addressed me as ‘mommy’ a handful of
times. Thest time was when he was stunned to silence by the snake. He must be scared witless right
now. Hence, she asked Joel hastily, “What is happening? Why are you keeping them outside?!”
Joel’s expression changed drastically. Finally, he chuckled before answering her, “No reason.”
Joel signaled the soldiers downstairs, and the troop retreated swiftly in a disciplined manner. Nathan
immediately dashed up the restaurant’s second floor with loud, audible steps.
Michael adjusted his handsome ck bowtie before slowly walking into the restaurant like a gentleman.
Harry followed him closely from behind too.
Suddenly, a figure came running toward them from afar. “Arghhh! Uncle Joel, wait for me! I want to have
dinner with you guys.”
Stanley was wearing a snowy-white shirt, and he looked especially dashing with his crew cut. It was rare
for him to dress up.
The server was sweeping ss pieces from the ground when a small figure pushed the door open and
dashed in.
When Nathan saw Sophia after he rushed through the entrance, he threw himself into her arms excitedly.
“Mommy!”
Sophia knew that Nathan must have been shaken after themotion earlier, and so she held him
tightly in an embrace. “Baby, I’m here!”
Those adults should keep their fighting and killing to themselves. Why on earth did they drag Nate into
it? Nate is young! They are a bunch of beasts and psychos! They should go to hell!
