“Thank you, Ms. Sophie.” Wilma felt incredibly weak and distraught, given that she had lost her child.

“Have a good rest, Ms. Lineker. I’ll come back to see you tomorrow.” Sophie didn’t want to stay and bother her any longer.

“Okay. Thank you.” Wilma knew how well Sophie treated her and the others, and she swore to work hard after getting better. Who cares about marriage now?

After giving Wendy some instructions, Sophie left with Tristan. Then, she heaved a long sigh upon entering the car.

Is marriage really a woman’s best resort?

Her heart ached from what Wilma had gone through.

Tristan took her by the hand.

“Not every marriage ends up this way. I’ll love you forever, and I’ll never lay a finger on you even if you hit me.”

He didn’t want her to lose faith in marriage.

Sophie nodded in response.

“It’s okay. I know how well you treat me, so I’m fine. I just feel so sorry for Ms. Lineker.”

To think a man had the gall to hit his wife like that! That’s just terrible.

After getting home, Sophie took a shower and plopped onto the couch to use her laptop, digging up every dirty deed she could find of Phineas.

With all this information, Phineas would have no choice but to agree to a divorce even if he were against it.
