Now, Sophia was looking at him with teary eyes exactly like that time from before. She used to live a miserable life, but now, she was a dominating lady boss. However, she was still the same person.

She was heartless and cruel, and she had blood on her hands, but Michael knew that she would often wake up in the middle of the night in shock. He didn’t know what she saw in her dreams, but she always looked fearful.

She used to fear her future—of getting married to a stranger who she would call her husband.

Now, she was afraid of herself. She was afraid that she would become a cold-blooded monster and that one day, even her family wouldn’t recognize who she was.

She feared that she would become the kind of person she once hated, the type that would do whatever it took to achieve their goals.

She found that ruthlessly retaliating against those who had once hurt her couldn’t satisfy her anymore!

She was afraid that one day, she would lose herself to the point that she didn’t even care about Michael and Nate anymore.

Michael tried to calm her down. “It’s alright. We’ll visit the temple this weekend to burn some incense sticks. It’s all over now. Even if we really will be going to hell in the future, I’ll be with you.”

Sophia wiped her tears away and continued eating her shrimps.

Michael suddenly spoke up. “I know of a very spiritual temple not far away from here. Why don’t we go take a look tomorrow? The scenery on the mountain is great.” Sophia nodded and finished the shrimp she was having, then fed the leftovers to the dogs and cat. After all, she couldn’t be the only one getting fat!

 

After washing her hands, she went upstairs to get ready for bed.

Michael put the sleeping Chrysanthemum into its bed and said to Nicholas,“Nicholas, come and clean up the cat fur.”

The house was quickly turning into a shelter for dogs and cats. There was fur everywhere.

Nicholas came over with a vacuum nozzle sticking out of him to suck away the cat fur on Michael’s thigh.

The cat fur was indeed gone, but there was still plenty of dog fur left, so Michael clicked his tongue. “What about the dog fur?”

Michael had only asked Nicholas to clean up the cat fur so he vacuumed the cat fur only and ignored the dog fur.
