You Are Still Quite Young
Charmaine was pissed off by Sophie’s attitude. No matter how hard she tried to start an argument. Sophie would just ignore her.
To Charmaine, it was the most infuriating part.
At that moment, Caleb came downstairs in casual clothes. Having recently endured a lot of beatings, he was unsure where his future path would lead him.
“Are you just going to wear this?” Sophie asked.
“Why? Are my clothes inappropriate?” Since Caleb didn’t know where Sophie was going to take him, he just put on something casual.
“This is fine. Let’s go! It’s almost time.”
Sophie had agreed to a meeting at the Institute of Physics. Although the person meeting them wouldn’t mind if they were late, it wasn’t polite to have other people waiting for too long.
After all, she was a punctual person.
“Where are you going?” Charmaine asked disapprovingly. “Be careful. We don’t want you to be shipped off and sold.
“Have you forgotten what I said, Mom? We’re family. Why are you speaking like this?” Caleb said exasperatedly.
Some prejudices could be deeply ingrained, and there is no way to change them.
“Am I not speaking the truth? Do you think-”
“Let’s go, Caleb!” Sophie ignored Charmaine’s taunts. For all she cared, Charmaine was entitled to have her own opinion, and it would be none of her business.
Sophie didn’t need to waste too much time on someone unrelated to her.
“Okay. Let’s go!”
Charmaine became even more furious when Sophie and Caleb ignored her and left.
“Mom, don’t be like this. It’s not worth getting angry over this. Besides, you know how capable Sophie is. Since they’re now on good terms, she may be able to help him!”
As Willow spoke, her eyes were filled with jealousy.
Back then, she had been Caleb’s favorite person in the world. However, he only had eyes for Sophie now!
Everyone in the household only cared about Sophie. Nobody cared about how much Willow had suffered.
“So what if she’s capable? That doesn’t mean she will help Caleb! Caleb is a fool. He won’t even realize it if she betrays him,” Charmaine said.
“Don’t be so negative, Mom. You still have me. I’ll stand by you firmly no matter what happens.” Willow immediately pledged her loyalty.
Charmaine shook her head and sighed.
“If things are still the same as before, I can still pin my hopes on you. But your reputation now…” Charmaine had a feeling that no prestigious family would accept a daughter-in-law like Willow.
Willow wrapped her arms around Charmaine’s arm.
“Are you giving up on me too, Mom? If even you give up on me, I’ll have no future!” Willow’s eyes reddened.
She didn’t want to lead a life like that.
“Listen to me, Willa. Find an ordinary man to marry. Perhaps you will be happiest that way. There is actually a great deal of unhappiness in marriages to rich families. It’s just that they’re well hidden.”
“An ordinary man?” Willow knew that she would never be satisfied if she only married an ordinary man.
Sophie got into the driver’s seat while Caleb got into the passenger seat.
It was the first time he had seen Sophie driving. The car was a birthday gift from Tristan, but she rarely drove it.
“When did you buy a car, Soph?” Caleb knew she could afford the car now that she had taken over Tanner Group, but he had never seen it before.
