She never anticipated when or how she would end things with him, but in her heart, she was certain that this day was not too far away.
There was a world of difference between them, and between them lay countless obstacles they could never cross.
And she also knew that she wasn’t that important to him, his kindness to her was rely a passing impulse.
People have fleeting enthusiasm, don’t they? Sooner or later, he will et soone who interests him more, soone who aligns with his desires.
"Sister Sophie, you don’t need to deceive yourself anymore." Irene’s face showed a hint of frustration. "Even though you say that, deep down you surely hope to be with him till the end, don’t you?"
Be together till the end?
"Irene..."
"Sister Sophie, you should leave now. I’m a bit tired and want to rest." Without waiting for a reply, Irene lay down on the bed and pulled the quilt over her head.
Sophie Smith was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath from the depths of her heart.
"Have a good rest."
Sophie Smith closed the door and walked downstairs to the living room.
Nanny Garcia was tidying things on the sofa and quickly approached when she saw Sophie Smith coming down.
"Oh dear, Miss Smith, why aren’t you resting at such a late hour?"
"I can’t sleep." Sophie Smith sat on the sofa, grabbing the remote control from the coffee table to change the channel.
The TV was playing a boring idol drama, and Sophie Smith stared at the screen without knowing why she was absent-minded.
Suddenly, Irene’s words echoed in her ears again.
Sister Sophie, you don’t need to deceive yourself anymore. Even though you say that, deep down you must hope to be with him till the end, don’t you?
Yes, or no.
She truly couldn’t understand.
It’s said that those involved are confused, while bystanders are clear-headed. Is she really the one who’s befuddled?
"Miss Smith, what are you thinking about?" Nanny Garcia noticed her distraction. "Look at how tightly you’re gripping the remote, soon it will break!"
Nanny Garcia joked, startling Sophie Smith, who quickly put down the remote.
"Miss Smith, if you truly end up with the young master, I believe I’ll be happier than both of you." Nanny Garcia said with heartfelt sincerity.
Since Miss Smith started accompanying the young master, she witnessed the earth-shaking changes in him—good ones she was pleased to see.
"The number of tis the young master returned to this villa in a year could be counted on one hand. But ever since you moved in, even if he’s working late outside, he still rushes back. As an old servant like , I just hope this place feels like ho..."
Nanny Garcia continued talking by Sophie Smith’s ear. Sophie Smith was not impatient; instead, she listened attentively.
"I’ve been by the young master’s side since childhood, watching him grow up. His mother left early, but if his mother’s spirit sees him finding soone as wonderful as Miss Smith, she would feel comforted."
"Asher Land’s mother..."
In fact, he and she share so similarities. For instance, their mothers are both in heaven watching over them.
Sophie Smith pondered, and sohow felt a twinge of sadness. Ever since her mother passed away four years ago, her life had changed drastically, and she knew the forr ho was no longer a place for her.
