Chapter 474
Sophia was soberer after she sshed cold water onto her face. I didn''t want to lose myposure in
front of him, but I couldn''t help it. The past six months had been empty and hopeless. I couldn''t even
find a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, the sound of luggage being pulled came from outside and broke her train of thought.
Sophia gathered her thoughts and went outside. "I have a meeting in the afternoon."
udius pulled the luggage into the guest room and asked, "Do you want me to send you?"

Sophia nced at the drizzling sky outside and answered, "I''ll drive myself there. I bet you haven''t
slept well for the past two days. Have a good rest here. I''m going upstairs to get changed."
With that, Sophia turned around and went upstairs.
When she came back down, udius was on the phone on the balcony. The cold wind blew at him, but
he didn''t feel cold at all.
Perhaps he heard hering down because he immediately turned to nce at her.
Sophia smiled and mouthed the words: I''m going to Odyssey.
udius walked over to her instantly and hugged her. "What would you like to have for dinner tonight?"
Sophia lifted her head to look at him. It has been over half a year since I ate a meal prepared by him.
However, he has lost his memories.
"I''ll tell youter," she replied.
udius hung up the phone as soon as the person on the other end of the call finished his sentence.
"What would you like to eat? I''ll cook for you," he said to her.
Sophia arched a brow. "In that case, cook whatever you want." She checked her watch. "My meeting
starts in forty minutes. I have to go."
After speaking, Sophia gave him a nudge.
udius followed behind her and watched her bend over to put on her shoes at the entrance. This
feels so familiar.
Upon putting on her shoes, Sophia turned to look at him. "Get some rest, okay? I''m going to Odyssey
now."
"Be careful."
"All right!"
After Sophia left, udius didn''t go back to his room to rest.
Instead, he went to the third floor. A few days ago, images of this mansion shed through my mind.
He opened the door to the master bedroom to see a familiar sight and made his way to the walk-in
closet. There, he saw the clothes he used to wear.
Upon exiting the walk-in closet, he saw the huge bed. Right then, he recalled his wet dream after
meeting Sophia for the first time. This is the bed I saw in my dream. That wasn''t just a dream!
udius walked toward it and sat on it.
As soon as hey down, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent that made him feel at ease. He closed his
eyes and dozed off soon after.
By the time Sophia''s meeting ended, it was half past five in the evening.
She checked her watch and asked, "Mr. Lane, would you mind rmending me a nice restaurant?"
Felix had been Alexander''s secretary for a long time, and he was also Sophia''s secretary for the past
half a year. He knew exactly what Alexander and Sophia liked to eat.
After giving it some thought, Felix rmended a restaurant that had just opened a couple of months
ago. "Ms. Yarrow, should I make a reservation for you and Mr. Xenos?"
"That won''t be necessary." Sophia shed a smile. Perhaps dinner will be ready by the time I get home.
Sophia had been working her fingers to the bone over the past six months. However, that seemed to
have changed recently, and she had be moreid-back over thest few days.
"I''m heading back now. Don''t overwork yourselves," Sophia said.
Felix had been by Sophia''s side over the past six months, so he knew how busy she had been.
In fact, Felix and Yvonne had urged Sophia to go on a vacation to avoid overtiring herself, but Sophia
had said she was fine.
At that time, Felix and Yvonne knew that wasn''t true. With Alexander gone, Sophia was depressed, so
she had to keep herself busy to prevent herself from overthinking.
The month before that, Sophia had been on a business trip in a foreign country, and she had suffered
from a high fever for over two weeks. She had to be on an IV drip for three days to recover from it.
During that time, Felix was utterly heartbroken.
Therefore, he was more than happy to see Sophia ck off.
"Sure, Ms. Yarrow. It''s raining, so please stay safe," Felix reminded.
"I know. Bye!" Sophia smiled.
With that, she waved him goodbye and entered the elevator.
Sophia left the office earlier to avoid getting caught in a traffic jam during rush hour. Since the traffic
wasn''t congested, she arrived at the mansion within twenty minutes.
Upon exiting the garage, she raised her brows when she noticed how quiet the mansion was. He
must''ve gone to sleep after I left. He took a flight of more than ten hours to return to the country, and he
couldn''t sleep in the hotel for the past two days. Anyone would be tired.
Sophia poured a ss of warm water and drank half of it before walking toward the guest room.
The moment she pushed the door open, her mind went nk when she saw the empty guest room. A
look of disbelief spread across her face, and she went in to lift the nket. There''s no one here! Where
is he?
Sophia''s face was as pale as a sheet, and she had to shut her eyes to calm herself down. He asked to
stay here, and he had even asked me what I wanted for dinner before I left. The mansion has an
excellent security system, and the security guards are well-trained. There''s no way strangers cane
in as they please. Besides, the mansion has a smart home system that will notify me if something out
of the ordinary happens inside. It''s even capable of rming the police on its own!
At that thought, she regained her calmness.
When she turned around to leave the guest room and saw the luggage leaning against the wall, she
became even calmer.
Standing in front of the couch, Sophia mulled over it and lifted her head to nce at the third floor. He
won''t just leave like that.
She went up to the third floor and opened the door to the master bedroom. There, she saw udius
sleeping on her bed.
She heaved a sigh of relief when she finally saw him. He''s still here.
She approached the bed and refrained from touching him this time. She stood next to the bed for a
while before turning around to leave.
However, the person on the bed moved all of a sudden after she had just taken two steps.
Turning around, she noticed that udius was already awake. "Did I wake you up?"
udius looked at her and kept mum.
Sophia did not say anything as well, and the two simply stared at each other.
After a while, udius suddenly said, "Sophia,e here for a second."
Since he had just woken up, his voice was slightly hoarse.
Sophia walked up to him, and udius pulled her in as soon as she arrived at the side of the bed.
Caught by surprise, she ended up falling into udius'' burning embrace.
His chest was so hot that Sophia felt as though she was wrapped by a ball of mes.
"udius?"
He hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. "I had the dream again—wait. No. That wasn''t a
dream."
His hot breaths brushed past Sophia''s ear, and she shuddered. "What do you—"
"We were on this bed." udius let go of her slightly before carrying her onto the bed.
He was on top of Sophia when she looked at him with her reddened face. "Are you still not awake?"
"Sophia, let''s take a trip down memoryne, shall we?"
Sophia''s heart raced when she heard his deep and hoarse voice.
Her mind was buzzing, and before she could react to it, udius had gone in for a kiss.
The temperature on the bed increased, and Sophia felt as though she were in a pool of warm water
while she was in his arms.
Suddenly, his sexy, irresistible, and alluring voice rang out once again next to her ear. "Can I?"
