    “Hop in thepany car, Bartlett. You can fetch your own rideter.”


    Bartlett raised an eyebrow. “Why? Isn’t it more convenient if I drive?”


    Ellinor exined, “We’re both going for a site inspection. Taking thepany car is more appropriate.


    It avoids any misunderstandings.”


    Bartlett frowned. “Ellinor, aren’t you being a bit too cautious?”


    Without further exnation, Ellinor headed straight for thepany minivan. Bartlett reluctantly


    shrugged and followed suit.


    Bright and early, Sophia started preparing breakfast for Marcus. She was trying to make amends for


    upsetting him the previous day. She hoped her efforts would lighten his mood.


    She made oatmeal and boiled eggs and sauted a te of spinach and shrimp.


    Marcus brought Tristan for breakfast and remained silent at the table.


    Sophia peeled an egg for Marcus. “Once we’re done eating, let’s take a stroll with Tristan. My father will


    wrap up his work soon, and we’ll have to head back to M State.”


    Marcus paused before epting the egg. “Mmm.”

    Sophia looked at Marcus cautiously as she tried her best to please him. “What’s wrong, Marcus? Don’t


    you want to go back to M State?”


    Marcus looked back at her with a detached gaze. “Even if I don’t want to go back to M State, would you


    agree?”


    Sophia was taken aback by his blunt response. “Uh… Marcus, why wouldn’t you want to go back to M


    State? Our home is there


    He hummed dismissively. “Home? Everywhere feels like a cage to me. I have no freedom.”


    Sophia was stunned. “Marcus, are you ming me for restricting your freedom?”


    Marcus didn’t respond. He simply lowered his head to sip his water.


    Sophia put on a pitiful face. “I only restrict your movements because I worry about you. With your legs


    in their current condition, I can’t help but worry. I’m only trying to look out for you…”


    Marcus interrupted her. “Do as you please! If you’re not actually seeking my input, don’t bother bringing


    it up. My opinions seem to be irrelevant to you anyway. Just make the decisions yourself.”


    Sophia was speechless. She wanted to defend herself but didn’t know what to say.


    She couldn’t tell him that she would consider his opinions.


    What if he genuinely wanted to stay and didn’t want to leave? Wouldn’t she be shooting herself in the


    foot?


    After some thought, Sophia just ate her breakfast in silence, not saying another word.


    After breakfast, Marcus took Tristan to change clothes and was ready to head out. Sophia also


    changed and did her makeup. Once ready, she wheeled Marcus out the door with Tristan in tow. As


    they passed her father’s suite, the door happened to open.


    “Dad…” Sophia took the initiative to greet her father, despite their unpleasant conversation the day


    before.
