Beckett stood up from his seat and headed for the large window of the kitchen with a view of the farm. Leaving Sophie and me at the table. There was a shallow crease on Sophie’s forehead, a telltale that she was really worried about everything she had just laid out. And me? I could only listen to these two discuss this matter about the orphanage.
‘I can make up for Severino’s donation,” Beckett said, crossing his brawny arms in his middle and his jaw clenched tight.
‘That’s not my point, Beckett,” Sophie sighed, her shoulders slouching as she dropped her gaze on her now empty plate. “If grandpa’s friends learned that he pulled out his donations, they would stop theirs, too.”
That’s not a problem, Sophie. I can find people who will donate to this orphanage. People without ties to grandad.”
Hearing Beckett’s business–like voice made everything sound easy. Even if I don’t know much about what is happening, I know Beckett can easily find people to help this orphanage.
How about this place? All these kids,” Sophie sighed. “If the orphanage goes down, they will be homeless again.”
can feel Sophie’s worry vibrating through the entire kitchen. She bit her lower lip, fighting the tremors that were shaking er resolve. She really cares for the children in her care.
That’s easy. If the mayor decides to sell this property, I will buy it twice the amount Arturo can offer,” Beckett grunted.
At times like this, I could feel the distance between. I could never imagine those words coming out of my mouth, but Beckett can easily throw that threat without blinking.
Uhm, but why are they doing this to the orphanage?” I found myself asking. There are kids depending on the prosperity of his place, so why are they targeting those innocent children?
sophie slid a glance at Beckett, asking for permission. When he just snapped his gaze towards the farm, Sophie burw our a

I assume you already know about our arranged marriage?” She faced me fully, her brown eyes careful and cocuivers vatching me.
nod my head yes. There was no reason for me to deny that, anyway.
We don’t have anything to do with that, just so you know,” she laid out “Beckett and I were really mad a when we found out about it”
It’s hard not to listen to Sophie’s voice And it’s hard got to pay attention that sh hat when she speaks you get that look in her eyes to see her sincey

Chapter 21 –
Sophie nodded was too young. I was just twenty–three back then, and I thought, I can still find a way out of this deal
“You mean you really didn’t want to marry Beckett?” I wanted to know.
“What?” she gasped, laughing hysterically. “Beckett and me? I mean, no offense,” ske tilted her head towards Beckett, then turned back to me again. “But ew. He’s not my type. I’m more of a BTS fan, so I wanted to marry someone from Korea. I even studied Hangul in my free time.”
I can’t help but giggle. “For real?”
She nods shyly. “I went to all of the BTS meet and greet, you know. And I don’t want an American series, only K–dramas.”
laughed, surprised that someone as pretty as Sophie would fall in line for the BTS fan con. I can imagine the long line, the heat of the sun, and the money she spent buying tickets.
Beckett was watching us as Sophie shared stories about her desire to meet her idols. He’s got that faraway look on his face, ind when he saw me staring, it quickly shifted to ‘I told you so.‘
The more I listened to Sophie’s stories, the more my chest grew fond of her. She was just like me, a normal girl with crushes nd dreams.
What do you think they want to get for targeting the orphanage?” I asked Sophie.
