Chapter 406
It was absolutely unnecessary for Sophia to make any guesses about all these men who came to visit
her; it was rather obvious from the way they introduced themselves.

“How are you, Sophie? My name is ude Fletcher and I’m twenty-six years old. I graduated from the
Military Academy, an affiliated college of Bayside University. I serve in the army as a Lieutenant. I’m
single and don’t have a girlfriend at the moment. I heard that you’re not feeling well, so I’vee to visit
you specially today.”
Early in the morning, another man from the Fletcher Family came to visit Sophia. He even brought her
fruits and flowers.
Maria, who came to look after Sophia, took the fruits brought by ude and ced them on a table at
the side. The fruits on the table were piling up like a huge mountain; some of them were being kept in the
fridge in the kitchen as well. Meanwhile, Nathan did his homework seriously on the table piled with fruits.
He looked as if he wasn’t aware of Sophia’s visitor at all.
“Uh… thank you. I’m feeling much better now.” Sophia, who was sitting on the bed, felt much better.
Her hands, which stayed hidden underneath the nket, clenched tightly and nervously onto a corner
of her patient uniform. The expression on her face was really awkward.
In front of her bed, a handsome man dded in a military uniform sat upright in a proper manner and
stared at her attentively.
It was obvious that ude was the type of person who had experienced lots of great things; he looked
calm and serious as he sat there properly in an upright position. While standing, he stood up straight,
looking like a tall pine tree. His eyes were so sharp; when he stared at Sophia, they looked like a sharp
sword. Although it was temporarily sheathed, menacing energy still emitted from the sword. It kept
pricking Sophia as she sat on the bed, making her shiver uncontrobly. She could even feel pain in her
bones when he stared at her like that.
The men from the Fletcher Family weren’t very good at chatting. After they introduced themselves, they
would just stare at Sophia closely, waiting for her toe up with a subject and start the conversation.
Likewise, ude sat there in an upright position today. He looked really serious and the atmosphere in
the room was really awkward.
Sophia chuckled twice awkwardly as she tried toe up with a conversation starter. “Uh… today’s
weather is really good, huh? Haha…”
“What are you having for lunchter…”
“Since the ciers in Antarctica have been melting pretty quickly, it’s be imminent for them to save
the habitat of pr bears there…”
After conversing in an awkward manner for a while, they exchanged contact numbers and befriended
each other on Messenger before ude finally left.
ncing at him as ude left the room and closed the door politely on his way out, Sophia was
extremely relieved. Shey down on the bed and stared at the ceiling while thinking to herself, What
exactly is going on here?
As soon as ude left, Nathan scuttled over and asked curiously, “What do you think of ude?”
Sophia answered, “He seems nice, just nice…”
Nathan pushed the door open and went out as he munched on some fruits.
After a while, ude added Sophia to his list of friends on Messenger.
She left a mark on his ID. Upon checking her Messenger friends list, she noticed that she had added
over a dozen of guys from the Fletcher Family within thest few days.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, shebed her hair and smoothened out her clothes. After washing
her face and making herself look more presentable, she sat on the bed.
If things went ording to n, there would be another man from the Fletcher Familying to visit her
later. Recently, things had been like this every day, and she had gotten used to it by now. There would be
one who came around ten o’clock in the morning and another around three o’clock in the afternoon. It
was the same every day—nothing changed at all.
Soon, Maria came to announce the arrival of a Fletcher. “Madam, there’s another man from the Fletcher
Family who hase to visit.”
After a while, heavy footsteps could be hearding nearer and nearer. The ward door sprung open
and a man in a military uniform came in while carrying arge bouquet in one hand and a box of fruits in
another. The man’s face was covered by therge bouquet.
“Are you Sophia? I’vee to visit you on someone’s orders.”
This Fletcher guy said it in an even more straightforward way—on someone’s orders…
As usual, the man who came possessed standard traits belonging exclusively to the Fletcher Family. He
was tall, well-built, handsome, and was a high-ranking military officer. He held a bouquet of flowers in his
left hand and a box of fruits or tonic in his right.
However, Sophia actually knew the man who hade today. It surprised her so much that she goggled
at him with her bulging eyes. “Uh… Caleb, what brings you here?”
Indeed, the man who came was Caleb, Stanley’s older brother!
Caleb looked a bit ill at ease. Still, he sat down and exined, “It’s Old Master Fletcher who has asked
me toe and visit you.”
Sophia was speechless.
Then, it was silent, endless of silence descended upon the room. It was so quiet in the ward that even
Nathan, who was doing his homework at the corner, felt tingly all over his body. He felt awkward for the
both of them.
Caleb was a quiet person who didn’t like to talk much. Since Sophia had used the same topic to chat
awkwardly with over ten people before, she felt a bit embarrassed if she were to use the same topics to
engage in conversation with Caleb. Besides, she had already seen Caleb twice before, so he could be
considered as a friend. Nheless, even if a friend came to visit her, she had no idea what she should
talk about either. In the end, she went straight to the point and asked him about it.
“Caleb, be honest with me—why did Old Master Fletcher ask you toe here?”
Caleb replied to her resolutely without thinking much about it. “I’m sorry, but this is confidential. I’m not in
the position to reveal this to you.”
Sophia was once again speechless with Caleb’s reply.
After staring at each other for a long time, Caleb finally stood up and took out his cell phone. “Let’s
exchange our contact numbers and add each other on Messenger.”
Very well… It seems like this is standard procedure for everyone’s mission. First, they will introduce
themselves when theye in—they will definitely bring presents along. Then, after chatting awkwardly
for a while, they will ask for my phone number and Messenger ID.
Therefore, Sophia had no choice but toply with the requirements of their mission and exchanged
phone numbers with Caleb after adding him on Messenger.
Caleb kept his cell phone and bid Sophia goodbye.
Upon leaving Sophia’s ward, Caleb took several turns around the hospital and went into Sean’s ward.
Sean had been sent to the military hospital when he was injured thest time.
Besides Sean, Stanley, Old Master Fletcher and Woody were in the ward too.
Caleb pushed the door open and entered the room. After giving a salute to Mark, he reported to the old
man in a serious way; it seemed like he was reporting the progress of his mission. “Commanding
General, missionpleted.”
Mark asked, “Did you send the flowers?”
Caleb reported, “I did, sir.”
“Did you give her the fruits?”
“I did, sir.”
“Have you gotten her phone number and befriended her on Messenger?”
“Yes, sir. I got her number and befriended her on Messenger.”
Mark looked very pleased. “Missionpleted. Go and carry on with your duty.”
With that, Caleb left instantly.
Mark pulled out a form joyously, took out a pen, put on his reading sses and marked several ticks on
the form.
He checked all the boxes in the form, making sure that the flowers were delivered, fruits were given, and
phone numbers were exchanged. Each step in the procedure waspleted; the rest was up to them on
how to develop their feelings.
In the form, the names of every man in the Fletcher Family were written in rows. Each and every one of
them were his outstanding descendants; they were born in a prominent, well-to-do military family and
nurtured in a good environment since they were young. All of them were single, tall, handsome and
sessful.
Mark couldn’t wait to call all the outstanding men in the Fletcher Family toe over and get to know
Sophia. If one of them could be with Sophia and produced him a baby, he would beughing in his
dreams.
As he checked all the boxes, Mark passed the form to a guard and ordered, “Call Simon and Eric; remind
them of their mission tomorrow and tell them to not bete!”
The guard took the form and went out.
Mark was in his nies, and he was almost reaching a hundred years old now; he was at the age where
he had been through highs and lows in his life. Before this, his biggest wish was to see Michael get
married and have his own children before he died. Now, his biggest wish was to watch Cooper’s
daughter get married to Fletcher before he died. They would have a little baby which would amaze
everyone in the world; the baby must be strong and brave like the Fletchers besides having Cooper’s
intelligence. In that case, the baby would be an outstanding person who excelled academically and
athletically.
Woody studied the ‘busy’ Mark with a puzzled face. “Hey old partner, what are you doing?”
Mark answered, “I’m introducing potential life partners to your son!”
Woody asked, “Isn’t Coop married to your granddaughter? Who are you introducing potential life
partners to?”
Mark said impatiently, “This happened a really long time ago. My granddaughter, Celine, got married to
Justin!”
Woody scratched his head and mumbled, “But, I saw your granddaughter the other day. She said she
divorced Justin and got married to my son…”
