Xena looked at Sophia, who was mischievously smiling at her, "You've said all the good things."Sophia smiled, "Well, I have to help. If he makes you sad again next time, I'll take care of him for you."Hamish grinned uncontrollably, "Thank you. You can rest assured. I won't make her angry again."Elliot also smiled as he looked at Sophia. She looked like a child, but her words carried an air of maturity as if she had experienced a lot.Chester's gaze lingered on Sophia. He felt that this was her charm. She was warm and kind, yet she detested evil. Whether she was good or bad depended on your attitude toward her.When she was scolding Hamish just now, he felt some sympathy. She did not hold back at all but still helped when needed.Would she have helped him if he and Phoebe did not reach such an irreparable situation? However, he did not dare to ask for her help. Avery was witnessing his sister handling things for the first time, and he wanted to applaud her.How could she be so
Sophia looked at them with sudden deep guilt, unable to help but speak up: "I'm sorry for making you worry."Avery shook his head, getting up to embrace her: "No, your return is all that matters. As long as you're back safe and sound."Sophia smiled, "Let's go home together in a couple of days."Chester and Avery exchanged a glance, both nodding firmly. "Yes, okay."Elliot also grabbed her hand reassuringly, "No need to rush. We finally made this trip. Let's spend a couple of days here before going back."Sophia responded, "Okay."Seeing that she had indeed come to terms with it, Elliot looked at everyone again, "I think the group who claimed to have left Sophia in the bathroom might be telling the truth. She was taken away, wandered around the night market, and then rescued by Grandma.“Otherwise, she would have ended up like Mary, becoming an assassin trained by the Underworld Palace and then returning to the Morgan and Patton families for marriage. In this way, they would be
Xena replied, "This is so immoral.""Then you should just accept him.""But I still find him repulsive.""Then just string him along, torture him enough, and then accept him. You've been suffering for these three years, so let him suffer just as much. How did you manage to endure it?"Xena laughed, "I didn't realize you were so wicked.""It's inevitable to pick up some tricks after hanging around with you for so long."Xena smacked her, "Who are you calling wicked?"Sophia laughed and dodged, "Not wicked. It's the charm that makes those men willingly endure your torture even when they know you're playing with them.""Would I end up like this today if I had that ability?""How are you now? Isn't Hamish still obsessed with you after being apart for three years? Don't be modest. You're the enchantress. If you want to lure someone, which man wouldn't submit to you?""But I don't want to string him along. What's the use of him being obsessed? Men always desire what they can't have
Sophia said, “Your moral compass seems to match your looks. Can Quintus handle it?"Charlene replied, "What do you mean? Am I not pretty enough? Not enough to make his moral compass follow my beauty?""In my eyes, you are gorgeous. But you must make Quintus think you're beautiful too. You must captivate him completely," Sophia replied.Charlene rolled her eyes in exasperation, "Isn't this going in circles again? If I could captivate him completely, why would I need your help?"Sophia laughed, "So, you're the first step, and I'm the second step."Charlene looked at Xena with a sigh, "Xena..."Xena looked troubled and bluntly replied, "You're beyond help now. You've become someone else's bodyguard. How can you save yourself? Men like delicate, helpless types, not someone like you who can fight."Charlene burst into tears, "Are you saying I have no hope? I've liked this man for 23 years."Sophia hurriedly comforted her, "Hey, don't cry. It's not that bad. You still have me, right?
Felicity Tavern, known as the number one bar in Bermill, was a private bar with a mysterious and dimly lit environment. It could accommodate up to three thousand people and had top-notch lighting and sound effects with professional bartenders.There were beautiful women to keep the atmosphere lively, making it a place where people could lose track of time.The three entered, and the waiter led them to a secluded booth near the bar. Xena sat on one of the bar stools, demonstrating how to seduce men. Sophia and Charlene intentionally made it difficult for her by selecting a particularly reserved and aloof-looking man for her to flirt with.The two observed, as who doesn't enjoy watching a beautiful woman, especially one as alluring as Xena? As Xena sat down at the bar, the bartender enthusiastically asked what she would like to drink. With her charm turned on, Xena smiled at the bartender and said, "Make me your specialty."Her eyes seemed to have a magnetic pull. Even the bartender,
Xena and Sophia immediately thought of Charlene and headed toward the dance floor."Don't you dare cause trouble," someone warned.As they squeezed into the crowd, a few big men were sprawled on the ground, moaning in pain.Sophia hurried over to grab Charlene and checked on her, "Are you okay?"Charlene replied, "I'm fine."Xena furrowed her brows and asked, "What happened?"Charlene pointed at the man on the ground and cursed, "Damn it! He touched my butt and even wanted to touch my chest."Xena remained silent.He staggered to his feet, "You slut, what are you doing here? Aren't you asking to be touched by dressing like this?"Xena slapped him, "Stop the trash talk.”He became furious and charged at Xena, but before he could reach her, she kicked him away, her red dress trailing behind her in a graceful arc.He fell heavily to the ground, curling up in pain.Meanwhile, the bar security rushed in and quickly separated the two sides.The man threatened, "Just you wait."
Just then, Sophia inadvertently lifted her gaze and caught sight of a familiar figure. He had just emerged from the private room, dressed in a dark blue suit, with a pair of black-framed glasses perched on his nose, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance.Wasn’t that Ethan?She shook her slightly dizzy head. What was he doing here?She hurriedly chased after the figure, but before she could take two steps, a man intercepted her. Sophia looked at the man before her. It was the skinny man who just said that Xena and Charlene were skilled but did not mention her.Hmph! Who did he think he was looking down on?She punched him in the nose.He groaned, clutching his nose as he fell to the ground.After dealing with him, she intended to go after Ethan. However, he was gone, as if it were all just an illusion. She shook her head again. Maybe she was drunk and was seeing things? Just as she was distracted, a man seized the opportunity and lunged at Sophia.She was startled and in
"I don't miss you." Elliot chuckled, "Don't miss me enough to call me?""Can't you tell I'm trying to settle scores with you? You didn't call me all day.""I was too busy today, so I didn't get a chance. Weren't you out with Xena?"Sophia said, "What's wrong with being with Xena? Can't you think of me? I've been thinking of you."He had not admitted it earlier, but now he had confessed.Elliot felt like flowers were blooming in his mind. He could hardly contain his excitement, even though he should maintain seriousness in this meeting.However, he could not control his smile. The happiest thing is probably hearing his wife's coquettish voice saying she missed him, right?He wished he could fly to her side immediately, but he just whispered, "I miss you too."Sophia nodded, "Miss me? Why aren’t you back yet?""Almost. Are you sleepy? Go to sleep first. I'll be back soon."Sophia thought for a moment, "But I can't sleep! Can you sing to me?"Elliot was speechless. He pinched h
