She didn't mention what happened in the past, nor did she talk about how she and Patrick met each other.She didn't want to recall those memories and she knew that she shouldn't live on them.

Sophia had just been quietly listening the whole time.She only nodded and answered when she heard Kirstine asked a question.

Meanwhile, Kirstine stared at Sophia.

Sunlight shone in from outside the window and hit her face, which looked so soft and must have been comfortable to touch.

Sophia's beauty was simple but it surely made people stare at her for a long time.She felt that Sophia was at the peak of her youth.She was mature, confident, and beautiful.

However, she was not ostentatious.

She was elegant like a cup of tea, full of fragrance, and would never lose its essence even after along time.

Perhaps now, Kirstine finally understood, that only with Sophia could Patrick throw away all doubts in his heart and let down his guard.

With Sophia, Patrick could be himself.

It was as if she possessed some kind of magical power.

Being with her would give one a full sense of security.

Kirstine saw that Sophia's gaze didn't move away from the photos, so she walked to her side.

She smiled as she took one of the pictures from the wall and handed it to Sophia.

Her words were somewhat emotional.

"To tell you honestly, Patrick has a wounded heart.Outside, it seems like everything's fine.With money and power in hand, you'll think he can get everything he wanted.But the truth is, the things he wanted the most had always eluded him” Sophia lowered her gaze.

In the photo that Kirstine handed over, a young Patrick was wearing a school uniform.

His white shirt under the sun shone with exquisite light.

There was a smile on his face.

Though it was very faint, she could tell that it was genuine.

Sophia took another look before returning the photo frame to Kirstine.

She smiled and said, "Life is long.He still has plenty of time to get what he wants, there's no hurry; Sophia said, trying to lighten up the mood.She couldn't understand why Kirstine was telling her this.Perhaps she wanted to let her know subtly that Patrick had not been happy these past few years.

But women always had the ability to understand fellow women more clearly than men.

Kirstine was an intelligent and rational woman, full of emotions.

She should be able to understand that there was no love for no reason, nor would there be hatred for no reason.

‘Only after love will there be hatred.Will there be forgiveness after hatred?’ 

‘Life is so long, God knows what will happen?’

 All these thoughts whirled around Sophia's mind.

‘Perhaps, only God knows the result!’

 "But maybe you're right.After all, it can be lonely being in a high position.That's where he is now, right?"

Sophia teased.
