Selina smiled and kissed Kerr's cheeks. Sven whistled, "Oh, my son has just been kissed by Levi!"
What? What did he mean?
Everyone started to laugh at Sven's joke. Realization dawned on Selina, and her face flushed red.
Apparently, they spotted Levi kissing her goodbye at the airport. Since she kissed Kerr after Levi kissed her, it made sense to say Levi kissed Kerr through her lips...
Amidst the cheerful and boisterous laughter, Selina was swarmed by a lot of questions...
Every question was about her and Levi.
"No, no! You're mistaken! There's nothing going on between me and Levi!" Selina carried Kerr in her arms and secluded herself into an empty seat, refusing to answer any question about Levi.
After the plane landed, Selina turned on her cellphone. Within a minute, she received a message that read, "Arrived?"
The sender's number was unfamiliar, but her instincts told her it was Levi.
Selina hesitated to send back a message, but finally replied, "Yes, thank you."
She didn't get another response from the number...
At the Li Manor.
After packing her things, Sophia went to Sha City with Colin. Her grandmother lived in a village in the city. Sophia hadn't seen her for a long time. During major holidays in the past, Sophia paid her grandmother a visit every year. But after what happened to her family, she wasn't able to visit for two years.
Since her grandmother lost her eyesight, she had to stay with Sophia's uncle. Sophia felt bad not visiting her in the past two years.
Sophia wondered how her grandmother was doing, and if her uncle's wife treated her well. After all, her aunt didn't like her mother-in-law. She didn't have a good relationship with Sophia's grandmother. Sophia could only hope things were doing well...
After a three-hour drive, they arrived at the Springside Village in Lakewater Town, Sha City.
Their arrival garnered a lot of attention. When they appeared at the entrance of the village, many old people and children playing outside began to stare at Colin's eye-catching luxury car.
The villagers murmured to each other, exchanging ideas about the identities of these visitors as they marveled at the expensive car.
As Colin slowly drove into the village, some children ran after the car. Sophia let out a nostalgic sigh at the scene. When she was young, she was raised in her grandmother's house. Back then, she was exactly like these kids.
After a few minutes, Sophia told Colin to pull over when they reached a narrow intersection.
After they parked the car along the road, all the residents swarmed out in excitement.
Sophia averted her eyes when she got off the car. She felt embarrassed under the admiring gaze of the villagers, it made her feel like she was showing off her newly-gained wealth. After taking out the gifts from the trunk of the car, she moved to lead Colin to her uncle's house.
Suddenly, a familiar voice stopped her. "Sophia Lo! You're Sophia Lo! Oh my god! Look, mother, that's Sophia!"
Sophia pondered for a while. If she wasn't mistaken, it was her middle school classmate, Beata Li, a girl who always bullied her in school.
Sophia turned around, and saw a woman in heavy make-up and a red down jacket. The familiar voice indeed belonged to Beata.
She hadn't seen the girl for seven or eight years. Since they were in public, Sophia flashed Beata a smile.
Beata covered her mouth in shock. She quickly squeezed her mother's hand. "Mom... Oh my god. That beautiful woman really is Sophia Lo!"
"Sophia? That man with her must be her husband. He looks so handsome! Our village doesn't have such handsome boys!"
"Of course not. I remember Sophia was so chubby when she was young. How did she become so slender and attractive?"
"Oh, someone from the Lo Clan has come back at last!"
Sophia kept quiet.
Colin waited until she turned back to him. "Friend of yours?"
