The way she massaged his shoulders whenever he was exhausted.

The way she always slipped into his arms after he fell asleep, murmuring softly.

The way she woke up every morning smiling sweetly at him.

    The spacious tearoom was quiet and tastefully lit, the warm glow softening every corner.Sophia sat with perfect composure, holding a porcelain teacup. She lifted it, took a slow sip, and lowered it again with effortless grace.Francis sat across from her. Watching how calm she was made him suddenly unsure of everything.Was this woman really his sister?Sophia, before I get to the important part, I want to tell you a story first. Is that okay?He broke the silence.Sophia nodded lightly. You’re the one talking. Go ahead.Francis inhaled deeply and began.Twenty three years ago, a pair of childhood sweethearts got married.

Why are you suddenly back?Where’s Sophia? Francis asked bluntly.The butler blinked. Francis, you mean...Ethan’s wife. You know who she is.Oh. The butler finally caught up. You mean Mrs Blackwood. She just left.Just left? Francis frowned. Seriously? Does it have to be this damn coincidental?How long ago is just left? One minute? Two?The butler thought for a moment.

    Preston held Buddy in his arms and looked at Sophia. Out of nowhere, he asked, Sophia, I heard you graduated from the University of Toronto?Yes. Sophia answered with a small smile, though her heartbeat quickened.Why was Mr Mayer suddenly asking about this?What did you major in?Finance.Preston nodded thoughtfully. Finance is good.

    Edgar froze for a moment when he saw how calmly Evelyn closed the gift box, though he forced a gentlemanly smile back onto his face.As long as I can make Miss Mayer smile, everything is worth it.The implication was far too direct.Evelyn’s brows tightened slightly, a faint flash of disgust flickering through her eyes.If not for Alexander’s sake, she would never have invited a man like him to her birthday.Edgar seemed ready to keep talking.But Evelyn suddenly shifted her attention elsewhere as if by accident, her eyes lighting up with pleasant surprise as she looked toward Sophia.Sorry, I need to go say hi to Sophia.She left Edgar standing there and briskly walked past him.Sophia, there you are.
