The two stood in silence. Sophia was playing with her keyboard boredly as she made her character in the game walk around in circles by the lake. All the while, she was thinking about Irene, whom she had met earlier that day.
Irene… is literally like a magical bird in the sky.
She is a magical bird, and I am only a wild chicken.
To Michael, I am replaceable. I am probably someone he could get rid of anytime!
Beast finally asked, ‘Unhappy?’
Sophia replied, ‘Yeah.’
‘What’s the matter?’
Sophia poured herself a glass of milk. After finishing it off, she typed, “I’ve been tomb sweeping all day. I feel down.’
After a few seconds, Beast replied, ‘When you think about the fact that it’s a holiday today, you won’t feel down anymore.’
Off screen, Sophia laughed out loud. If Beast knew that I was Sirius, who had killed him before, we’ll see if he is still happy.
Sophia replied, ‘I went tomb sweeping with my husband today and met his first love; tell me if that wasn’t heavy.’
Harry rested his hand on the keyboard and watched as the beautiful young warrior typed out sentence by sentence.
‘He’s locked himself in the study ever since we came home.’
‘His first love was really beautiful.’
Harry had a rough idea of what had happened; no wonder Sophia wandered around for over an hour in the game.
First love?
Was Sophia talking about Irene?
Back then, Irene and Michael were already engaged, and everything was progressing well. If everything had gone smoothly, Nathan would’ve had a sibling of his age already.
But ever since that accident…
Over these years, Michael never brought up Irene, but Harry knew it didn’t mean that he had forgotten about her.
If he still couldn’t let go of her, why did he even bother bringing a young bride home?
Suddenly, Harry felt sorry for her and replied, ‘As a man, he would always remember his first love, but you are the only one in his heart.’
Sophia shook her head. All of a sudden, she didn’t feel like drinking milk anymore, so she took some red wine from the cellar and poured herself a glass. It was a very fine wine, but when she drank it, it tasted extremely bitter.
Wine is so bitter. Why do people still like to drink it?
As the strong wine entered her throat, Sophia could feel a blazing fire burning from her lips to her stomach as it penetrated into her heart. In an instant, she felt a pain in her heart; after the heat was gone, she became numb, unable to feel the pain anymore.
Perhaps this was the advantage of having fine wine!
After drinking the wine, Sophia’s face became red all of a sudden.
Taking advantage of the effect of alcohol, Sophia blurted out everything she’d been suppressing to Beast as if he was a dumpster. ‘Tell me, do men have a true heart?’
Before Beast could reply, Sophia started talking to herself. ‘How would men have a true heart?’
When the wife of Sophia’s father, Joe, was pregnant, he hooked up with the nanny who was hired to take care of the pregnant wife, getting her pregnant in the process. Joe didn’t even care about the child that his nanny was carrying, which was his own flesh and blood.
What a ‘nice speech’ Richard had back then when he said, “I vow to love you forever, and I will never leave you unless the world falls apart.” In the end, he got together with the Huffs!
Love? Hmph!
Harry saw the words Sophia had sent to him.
