Chapter 1435
Cooper’s car drove off, leaving Sophia alone in this tiny house in the suburb.
Cold breeze brushed by, bringing along the bone-chilling coldness of the snow that had yet to melt. In
this suburban house without a centralized heater, Sophia could only keep herself warm at the firece.
Nichs and Shae stood next to her in an orderly manner, protecting and apanying her.

Looking at the fire in the firece, she zoned out as she sat on the couch. The book that she was
holding in her hands had not been flipped for quite some time. She had no idea how long she had to
stay here.
Although she had been here for barely a few hours, she had already started to miss her home.
She missed her home, father, brother, Carmen, Michael, her dogs and cats…
She looked outside the window in a daze. As the snow had not melted, everything that entered her
sight was white. The car tyre marks on the ground, which were made when Cooper drove away,
gradually vanished from sight. It was so quiet here that it felt like she was in a ce hidden away from
the rest of the world. There was a small hill in the distance, stopping any visitors from the outside world
from probing into where she was.
The ce made her calm down and allowed her to start thinking.
She soon realized that she had had an amazing life.
She had once forgotten, had once lost, had once been lonely, and had once been miserable, but all
those were things of the past, and now, she was happy.
Unfortunately, she still had many regrets in her life—Carmen had not grown up yet; she was unable to
age together with Michael; and Cooper was going to watch another child die. Her death would be too
cruel to them.
All of a sudden, she saw something gradually moving toward her from a distance.
She opened the door, and the chilling wind that blew at her made her wrap herself tighter in her
clothes. However, the thinyer of clothing was no match to the coldness of early spring.
When the thing came closer, she realized that it was a jeep.
The vehicle was parked at the space in front of the house, leaving behind tyre marks from a sudden
brake.
The car door was then opened, and Michael, who was wearing winter clothes, alighted from the car
with his simple luggage.
He put down the luggage before taking two steps forward and took her into his embrace. “I am here.”
Sophia was stunned the moment he appeared. He is actually here? He is actually here! He is here!
Her emotion transitioned from disbelief to tion, but her reasons made her push him away, and for the
first time ever, she shouted at him in a stern voice, “Why are you here? Leave! Go away! I don’t want to
see you now!”
She used all her strength to push him away, but as soon as her forcended on him, tears escaped her
eyes.
Her push made him stagger two steps back, but he immediately paced forward to hug her tightly,
burying his face into her hair. “I’m not leaving.”
He held her tightly in her arms so that she could not push him away again.
Being tightly held in his arms, she felt his hot breath on her neck underneath her hair. She wanted to
push him away, but her strength had disappeared. “Why did youe? Leave now! I don’t want you to
die!”
He was aware of what he would face bying here—if Jordan were to activate the bomb now, both of
them would die.
However, Michael refused to say anything; all he wanted to do now was to hug her tightly. Even if we
were to die, we must die together!
In this life, he was born 13 years earlier than she was—he had been living a lonely life for 13 years in a
world without her.
However, if they were able to die in the same year, same month, and same day, they might be able to
be born in the same year, same month and same day in their next lives.
Besides, he did not have a long life ahead of him anyway.
He could feel what she felt, so he could understand the fear and terror she was experiencing right now.
He had lost her once on the day when she was kidnapped by Phantom Wolf, which had caused her to
give birth to their child in despair.
This time, he definitely would not allow her to face this by herself.
When Sophia refused to let hime to her, he went to look for Cooper.
As Cooper and Linus were busy looking for a way to deactivate the bomb, they could not stay to
apany Sophia, and Cooper was unwilling to let his daughter face the unknown horror all by
herself. Nevertheless, Sophia rejected everyone’spany—even any of her cats’—and brought only
two robots with her to clean the ce.
Cooper was a little hesitant when Michael took the initiative toe to apany her, but after getting
Theo’s agreement, he allowed Michael toe with the thought of letting them cherish theirst
moments together.
Knowing that he definitely would not leave since he hade here, she shouted and cried in his arms,
pounding on his chest. He did not give her any response and just hugged her, allowing her to do as she
wanted and cry her eyes out.
He would never leave her again.
She cried until the sky was cold, the ground was freezing, and her tears nearly froze; only then did she
realize that his chest was wet from her tears. Cold breeze brushed by, causing the two of them to
tremble in cold. She attempted to take him into the house, but she unexpectedly saw a pair of dog’s
paws frantically scratching at the window of the car that Michael had driven here.
After wiping away his tears, he opened the car door. Judge jumped out from the car, raced toward her,
and ran in circles around her legs. “This silly dog insisted oning along and chased after the car for
a few miles. So I had no choice but to bring him along.”
She sniffled and patted the dogs’ head before they went into the house together with the dog.
Their most desperate moment had yet toe. As long as Jordan was unable to find her here, she
would be safe.
However, she would still feel scared and lonely, but Michael’s arrival suddenly gave her a great deal of
courage.
No matter what she would face in the future, she would not feel scared and lonely anymore for she had
him here with her!
Michael took a look around the house after entering. This two-story suburban house, which was located
in a deste area, was elegantly and warmly renovated. The rooms were on the first floor, while the
living room was on the ground floor. There was a floor-to-ceiling window next to arge book rack, and
a white, fluffy carpet was spread out on the floor; on top of it were two books with bookmarks in them.
The warehouse was filled with coal, and the fridge was stuffed with food, while water could be obtained
from a well nearby. They had sufficient life supplies here, but the inte connection here was rather
awful. Nevertheless, living here for two to three weeks would not be an issue.
Besides, even with Michael and Judge here, their food supply was definitely not a problem.
Michael took in and unpacked his luggage. There was nothing much in there—only some clothes,
toothbrush, some spices, and a stack of tes.
Sophia made a call to ask someone to send over some dog food and snacks. The house was soon
filled with a lot of things since they were prepared to stay here for some time.
They would wildly make love to each other in the cold snowy night and sluggishly watch movies in front
of the firece in each other’s embrace in the afternoon.
Without the Inte, they were spared from the endless meetings and business negotiations. The two
of them put down their work and spend their days living simple lives.
Michael, who had be a hardworking house husband, took care of their meals by diligently
preparing three meals a day for Sophia.
The two of them lived a happy life here.
It was as if time had suddenly slowed down, and their presence became more and more profound and
meaningful to each other. They were free from the fear and confusion of their unknown fate, for all they
had in their eyes were each other.
