Looking into James’ eyes, Sophie knew it was futile to resist any longer. If she continued to challenge James, he might just have someone forcibly take her back home today.
Sophie took a deep breath.
She can bide his time, she thought, better to bow now than never.
“I understand,” Sophie said. “I’ll be home at least twice a week, is that okay?”
“Three times a week.”
“You!”
Sophie was about to erupt in anger, but upon seeing the look in James’ eyes, she managed to restrain herself.
Studying for her Master’s at Eastwood College wasn’t too demandin, so visiting home three times a week was certainly manageable, and James must have confirmed it with the dean before making such a demand.
Sophie adjusted her attitude and offered James an extremely forced smile, “Three times it is then. Mr. Burke, any other requests?”
“If I call, you must come home, and I’ll have Lee pick you up.”
Sophie took another deep breath, continuing to smile, “No problem, anything else?”
“Not for now.”
Not for now, meaning there could be more demands in the future.
Sophie suddenly felt that attending Eastwood College had given James more leverage over her. After all, she couldn't let Bea know she was attending Eastwood College. Her mother-in-law was far more demanding than most.
“I have business to attend to. I’ll have Lee take you back to school later.”
James stood up and as if he suddenly remembered something, he abruptly said to Sophie, “Stay away from Harold.”
Harold? Why would James bring up Harold out of the blue?
