Female Novel
Chapter 628
Sophia didn’t know Walter well, as she had no memory of him at all. However, the fact that he kept onquibbling despite being reprimanded by the crowd was indication that he might be a somewhat shadycharacter.
Besides, Sophia noticed that a savage look flashed across Walter’s face when he was riled up afterbeing reprimanded. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was at a disadvantage, he might very well haveassaulted her on the spot.
Heaving a sigh, Sophia figured that after spending all those years apart from one another, they neverhad much of a relationship to begin with. If things went awry between them, Walter might very wellassault her, which was a cause for hesitation on Sophia’s part.
Meanwhile, John crouched down before her slowly. “Considering the circumstances, I will be worried if Ileave you here alone. Sophia, please come with me. Besides, we will also be able to find jobs for thevillagers when we get back. Whoever that wishes to come with us can come. I will take care ofeverything when we get there, so you have nothing to worry about.”
Staring at him, Sophia pouted. He reached out to hold her hand. “Judging from what I saw earlier, Isuppose the future will be laden with trouble, so you shouldn’t stay here. The villagers won’t be able todefend you all the time. Mr. Gwendolyn was obviously planning to do this for the long term, which willleave you in a vulnerable position.”
Sophia recognized what John told her to be true. No matter what he did, he was still legally her father,so the villagers wouldn’t be able to do much to help if he were to bring it to court. Moreover, she waspregnant, so she couldn’t possibly butt heads with him. Thus, it only took her a moment before coming
to a decision. “Alright, we will go back.”
Relief washed over John when he got her reply, because when he came after her, he wasn’t sure if hecould persuade her to return with him. If she were to insist on staying, he could only leave the villagealone. He couldn’t possibly extend his stay indefinitely, as his work in the company was piling up whilehe kept her company. The fact that Walter came after her was in fact an encouraging factor for her toleave.
After that, John had Sophia get some rest before leaving the house. She lay down without question asshe wasn’t intending on asking about his plans. Aside from that, her stomach was making her feelsomewhat uncomfortable, so she tried to soothe herself by taking a few deep breaths. She alsorealized she was being inconsiderate to the child she was carrying by travelling such a long distance inorder to return to her village.
nor did she know when he came back. When she woke up, John was already cleaning up the house.As they might not return for a long time, he packed everything that they didn’t need, which made thehouse seem more organized. Sophia stood by the door while watching him pack. “Is everythingsettled?”
Turning around to look at her, he smiled. “It’s done. I’ve already settled everything regarding the roadpaving, as well as finding out the people who would want to leave with us. Buddy is one of them, so hewill help get the other people. After I get the full name list, I will have Zack book their tickets.” novelbin
Since they were a large group of people with a lot of luggage in tow, they would be travelling by train.Meanwhile, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief, as it would be better for her to take a train since she waspregnant.
