She added, “Nate, you have to grow up quickly to protect me. That way, I won’t be taken away by the bad guys.”
Nathan yawned and slowly fell asleep. He seemed to be talking in his sleep.
“Mommy, I’ll protect you when I grow up.”
Looking at Nathan’s cute sleeping face, a stab of pain shot through Sophia. She also understood the feeling of not having parents since young. It was extremely lonely.
From now on, I’ll be Nate’s mom. I’ll definitely try my best to be a good mother!
Justin opened a tiny slit with the door to look at them furtively. After he saw that both of them had fallen asleep while hugging in the room, he closed the door and left.
Michael was also looking at the security footage from the camera of the room. It was only through this could he see Nathan’s cute side. Usually, he was utterly cold and indifferent.
Looking at the pair of mother and son, Michael felt a surge of happiness on top of the responsibility he had.
When he saw Justin coming over, he exclaimed, “Look at how alike they look!”
Truth be told, Justin also felt that Sophia was quite similar to Nathan. The Mitchell Family was full of ambassadors, so they had produced many ambassadors and mixed-descent babies. Justin’s mother was of Irish descent, so he had many features that resembled an Irish—his skin was fair, and his eyes socket were more sunken. Nathan also inherited that from him.
However, after taking a closer look, one could see that Sophia also had some facial features that resembled a typical Irish woman as well. Her skin was fair, her nose pointy, and she seemed to have a tinge of blue in those hazel eyes of hers.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence.
When Michael showed the pictures to Nathan for him to choose his mother, he picked Sophia immediately.
Perhaps this is their destiny.
At the military compound at the break of dawn, Stanley bought a bottle of beer from the mini market and hid in the garden to drink with his dog.
“Here you go, Judge. Drink up!”
He poured the bottle of beer into his glass and a bowl. While he took a sip, his dog also licked in the bowl.
After taking a sip of the beer, Stanley cried while holding his cat in his arms.
“Sunset, why did she become my aunt? Sob…”
“Meow!” After the cat got drunk, it scratched him.
The more Stanley thought about it, the more resentful he felt.
He thought that he was the person who was best for Sophia. They were roughly the same age, and they had the same interests; even Old Master Fletcher liked her a lot. No matter from which perspective, both of them were the perfect match for each other.
Stanley even had the perfect plan. After he confirmed their romantic relationship this semester, they would be engaged in the next semester. Then, they would get married in the semester after that. When they reached their third year, Sophia could get ready to be pregnant. After she gave birth to the baby, she would return to the university. Perhaps Stanley could even guide her in her studies. Then, when they graduated in the fourth year, Stanley would be a father already.
Right after he graduated, he had plans to form a company and start a business of his own. If not, he would apply for a job at his uncle’s company and worked while supporting his own Esports career. Then, he would ask his uncle to invest together to create a few more games like the ‘Swordsman Game’.
Then, he would be able to buy houses, cars, raise kids, and provide for his family.
However, everything is all gone right now. All gone!
At this moment, Irene suddenly appeared with her phone’s flashlight switched on as she pointed at Stanley in the garden. “Stan? What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Stanley looked at Irene and burst into tears immediately. “Miss Irene, I fell out of love! Sob!”
Irene asked curiously, “You broke up? With the girl named Sophia?”
There were no secrets in the military compound. Although Stanley had only brought Sophia here a few times, everyone in the military knew that he was ‘dating’.
As Irene had to leave early during the banquet that night, she missed the part where Joe reunited with his daughter.
Stanley nodded with tears in his eyes. “Yes, she’s with another man now.”
He wanted to roar the name of the jerk out loud, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
I have to remain hopeful about this.
Even though they are already married, they could get a divorce!
