Michael looked at Sophia in doubt. “What’s wrong? I saw you kneeling earlier today. Don’t people from the village kneel down when they pay respects to the dead?”

Sophia didn’t speak again; people in the village had to kneel, but the Fletchers didn’t seem to have the habit of doing that!

With that, Michael didn’t say another word as he kowtowed in front of the graves. Nathan immediately imitated him and did the same.

The son-in-law had already kneeled, so how could the daughter be exempted? Hence, Sophia proceeded to kneel down and kowtow.

After they were done paying their respects, they put out the fire and went down the mountain. They got into the car and went back to the city.

As the car moved slowly, Sophia learned against the door and looked out of the window, staring at the mountain and the cleared graves that were getting further and further away. She felt empty inside.

Suddenly, Sophia felt a huge palm resting on her shoulder as Michael whispered to her, “Stop looking. I will come back with you every year in the future, okay?”

Looking at Michael, Sophia suddenly realized that he was even more handsome than before.

Sophia nodded. “That’s very nice of you, hubby.”

Sophia buried her face in Michael’s shirt, and she could smell the grass from the mountain and the damped spring breeze.

 

You’re the best. How great would it be to call you mine forever!

Two drops of tears rolled down, quietly seeping into Michael’s shirt that was already dampened by the rain.

 

Sophia knew that Michael wouldn’t fall in love with her; he was nice to her because he was nice to everyone!

Sophia also knew that the way she showed up determined the way she would be loved. Back then, she was sent to Michael by Daniel as if she was a pet. Michael had spent ten million to purchase her as a pet, so it had determined the way he would love her—like the love an owner had for a pet.

She would be loved like a cat or a dog, but not a human.

Clearly, Sophia knew about it all. She didn’t dare to ask for his true love, but why? Why was he always so nice to her…
