The woman didn’t say a word, but there was nowhere else to go when she was forced to the corner. There was helplessness in her eyes as she suddenly lashed out toward Fia, aiming for her face!Normally, her opponent would protect her head. She could then escape using that chance.However, Fia didn’t protect herself. Instead, she wanted to grab her hand.The woman frowned. Even after a few years’ worth of training at the Hellish Training Camp, she was still no match against her since she was trained since she was little.She could always knock Fia’s hand away and strike Fia’s face, but she still slowed down in the end.Fia used this chance to force her against the wall and quickly removed her mask.“…Sophia.” Fia’s voice trembled. It was the first time in five years that she wasn’t thinking of hiding her identity when facing an old friend.The two women looked at each other, their eyes filled with mixed feelings. They didn’t know what to say.The atmosphere turned for the worse w
Sophia stopped the kick mid-air and stared at the figure behind the pillar. “You know him?”Fia could feel her heart thumping wildly. “You do too.”Sophia’s body became even more tense as she stared at that piece of clothing, unable to blink.The atmosphere froze for a few seconds and the person behind the pillar walked out.His head was lowered. No one could see his expression and emotion.Sophia instinctively took a step back, her voice trembling. “You?”Fia could feel her head thumping. He had been so sneaky… She wondered how much he had heard.“Do you know how despicable you are?!” Sophia angrily roared.Tiger raised his head and looked at Sophia. There was defeat and sorrow on his face. His large eyes glared at her.“You betrayed the boss.”Sophia closed her eyes, unable to counter back.Fia then asked, “How much did you hear?”Tiger looked at Fia, his frown even deeper.“I heard almost everything that I needed to.”He then thought about his boss and said, “You lived
“Madam, if I leave now, Master won’t show any mercy to you and the children.” Sophia closed her eyes and calmed herself down after she saw Tiger walking further and further away.She had already made her choice five years ago. She could handle any of the possible situations in the future.Five years ago, her ex-boss introduced her to the madam. She had already decided to protect the madam then. Now, not only was she going to protect the madam, but she needed to protect the madam and her children as well!The madam believed that Lucifer had a soft spot for her and the children. She didn’t!She couldn’t let her fall into such a trap and climb out on her own.“Sophia, it’s not worth it.” Fia was very sad. It was the first time she told someone what she was thinking.“Five years ago, the choice I made was to cut off all my relationships with all of you. I don’t want anything to do with my past anymore. I didn’t put anyone as an exception.”“That’s why I didn’t know that you sacrific
“Why are you crying, Aunt Sophia?” Irene was like a small bundle of warmth. She stood up and held Sophia’s hand.All Sophia did was crouch down, her eyes red, and look at Irene carefully.“You must have looked like Irene when you were little, right? Madam?”Fia looked at her and said, “I did, but I’m not as fat though.”“Mommy, that’s not fat! That’s called cute!” Irene pointed at her face and gave Fia a smile.Fia gave a smile back and said, “That’s right, you’re very cute.”Sophia sniffed and held Irene’s hand before looking at Adrian, who was looking at her.His amber eyes were too clear a mark.“Adrian, you look like…” ‘My boss’, she whispered in her mind.Adrian frowned. “I don’t look like anyone but myself!”He didn’t want to be like that terrible man! While Aunt Sophia didn’t say anything, he could tell from her expression alone.Lucifer continued to play with the blocks alone, like an outsider who was not part of the conversation.Fia looked at him and then said to
“Ha.” Lucifer laughed and became his usual gentle self in front of Fia. “I’m joking. Don’t be nervous.”Fia was silent.“Since you like Sophia that much, I’ll let her follow you from now on.”Fia was shocked and she asked, “Really?”Lucifer was like an obsessed child as his eyes refused to move from the blocks. As he played with it, he said, “For the past five years, when have I gone back on my words?”As for those that he wouldn’t agree to, he wouldn’t pretend to agree to it even when she asked.“Are you saying that Sophia could act together with me from now on? And live with me?”Lucifer then said, “She’s yours now. You can do with her as you want. However, I do need to remind you of something. If Conrad and the others saw her with you, how are you going to explain it to them?”Fia was stunned for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll take note of it. I won’t let Sophia show her face.”“Fine. You take care of it.” With that, Lucifer destroyed the building he built with the bloc
Fia looked at his figure and remembered how warm it was when he was with the children. “Be careful when you’re outside. Adrian and Irene are worried about you.”Lucifer’s hand that was holding the doorknob tightened, and the wound on his palm opened again.He turned around and stared at Fia. “Fi…”Fia was slightly stunned. He very rarely called her that.The last time was when she was heavily injured five years ago.“If only you’ve been by my side since you were little…”Fia didn’t understand why he suddenly said that.Lucifer didn’t wait for her to say anything and closed the door.When he saw the blood on the doorknob, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it clean before leaving.“He’s gone?” Sophia was worried that Lucifer was going to be angry at Fia and walked out of the room.“Yeah.” Fia walked over to her. “He left.”“Madam, I should go too.”Fia caught her hand. “You don’t have to. I told Lucifer about it. He’s letting you follow me from now on. There’s no need to h
In the future, regardless if it was Sophia or Madam, as long as they threatened Conrad’s life, he would not let them off!"If you want to cry, go and cry outside!" Conrad was annoyed. It had been five years since he last saw Tiger, and now he had almost turned into a girl.Tiger got up, not wanting to upset him. He silently left the room and sat in the corridor, feeling down.Conrad struggled to prop his upper body up and reached for his phone on the bedside table, dialing a number.Fia was having a good time playing with the children and Sophia. The phone ringing annoyed her, making her frown.Impatiently, she answered. "What is it?""Ms. Sia, are you breaking your promise?""I have some business to attend to. I'll come over later."Conrad’s suspended heart finally settled. "Bring dinner."Fia was speechless. How could this fellow be so thick skinned?Conrad said, “Silas and Tiger are both busy, and no one's taking care of my meals."Fia heard a hint of grievance in his ton
Sophia grinned. "There's nothing fun about being with stinky men. It's much more enjoyable being with Madam and the two adorable little ones!"She turned to the two kids and said, "Isn't that right? Aren’t you two the cutest?"Irene was munching on her chicken thigh. She nodded and said indistinctly, "Yes, yes, yes."Adrian swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Aunt Sophia, my mom hopes you'll be happy and make the right choice.""Oh my, this kid sure knows some deep words!" Sophia laughed heartily, taking big bites of her duck thigh and playfully tapping the duck thigh against the children's chicken thigh."To celebrate happiness, cheers! Being with you all is my happiness!"Fia shook her head helplessly, knowing that Sophia was a stubborn girl.When she made up her mind, no one could persuade her otherwise.She could only give up and hope to repay Sophia's unwavering loyalty in the future.After the two adults and two children had eaten their fill, Sophia went to the ki
