Sophia leaned on Michael’s shoulder as her eyes fluttered open and shut. Soon, she fell asleep.

She was still shaken up after yesterday’s incident. She hadn’t dared to sleep for the entire night, and Sophia had to give her testimony while taking care of Quinton at the same time; she only left once his family had arrived. In the morning, she went to visit Stanley. There was no way for her to sleep with her entire body aching all over.

Sophia’s heart was still tightly wound up after experiencing her first bloodshed. Still, an inexplicable sense of safety cocooned her when she leaned on Michael’s shoulder. A wave of exhaustion then crashed over her, and she fell asleep shortly after leaning against him.

Michael’s head was a jumble of emotions as he watched her sleep soundly. While she managed to save her life by brandishing her true identity, there were so many people in the cafe yesterday; there was no guarantee that there weren’t any Phantom Wolf associates among them at that time.

If the Phantom Wolf knew about her existence…

Ugh, what a headache! What happened to not getting attached after buying her?

Despite it all, Sophia was still his woman regardless of all the trouble! Since he had already bought her, he had to take responsibility for her until the end!

Now that the Phantom Wolf had landed in the country, it would be a matter of time before Michael crossed paths with the latter once again—it didn’t matter whether Sophia was in the picture at all.

Michael wasn’t sure why he cared so much about Sophia; he had lived for so long, yet no other woman had been able to worm herself into his heart like she did.

That little wife of his had somehow ended up wriggling into his heart by accident.

 

He pulled Sophia closer and eyed Nathan, who was nodding off at the side.

Michael had been keeping Sophia’s brush with danger from Nathan, but he couldn’t hide why Sophia did not come back home that night; Nathan even threw a tantrum the entire night when Gary wouldn’t let him go out to look for Sophia. He had only been allowed to see Sophia at the hospital once things had calmed down and Michael came home to take him along.

 

Nathan sure was a heartless boy—Michael had never seen him this worked up over his own father’s life!
