Shaking her head, Sophia answered, "Of course not. However, Sealand isn't far from Pinkerton. If Grandma Laura and others miss us, we can invite them to our house. Or I can take you back to Pinkerton."
Bonnie was still too young to understand certain things. Imagining she would have plenty of time to meet them, she nodded with a smile.
"OK, Mommy."
Chloe and Helena knew Laura must want to talk to Sophia, so they took Bonnie away.
Sitting next to Sophia, Laura held her hand. "Sophia, I knew you'd marry someone sooner or later, but I never thought you would move to Sealand. If I had known Emma would take you away one day, I wouldn't have let her stay in our house."
Sophia knew she was kidding, so her smile didn't fade.
"Fortunately, Emma is your mother-in-law. Otherwise, I'll be worried about you moving to another city."
Sophia held her hand tightly. "Mom, rest assured. I'm competent. Think my husband's family will bully me?"
"I dare them!" Laura raised her voice. "You are the precious one of the Lawson family and Pinkerton. Who dares to bully you? I'll gather all families in Pinkerton to go to my in-laws' house."
Sophia was amused. Giggling, she hugged Laura. "Mom, no one dares to do so. You know Drake will treat me well."
Laura had to admit that they trusted Drake after knowing him for years.
However, her daughter would leave today, so Laura felt sad.
Abbott hadn't shown up, as he was hiding somewhere while shedding tears.
"Mom, I'm the most spoiled in our family. Now, I will leave you. Please do take good care of yourselves. You and Dad are getting aged. I can't be with you all the time. I hope you'll be healthy and happy."
"Silly girl. We'll take care of ourselves. Besides, your brothers are with us. You are in Sealand alone. You should be concerned about yourself more. OK?"
Sophia nodded.
"My dear!"
Laura and Abbott gave birth to more than one child because they insisted on getting a daughter. However, they were annoyed after four boys were born.
Abbott felt sorry for his wife and refused to let her give birth again. However, Laura used all kinds of means to get a daughter.
Finally, they had a daughter as the fifth child. Laura finally stopped it.
Since Sophia was born, she had shown different talents than other children. She was fast in learning. Although she was little, she could understand college lessons.
Therefore, Sophia's parents found Emma to become her teacher.
Sophia also went to school to keep in touch with children of her age, as she needed to understand their lives.
In the blink of an eye, however, Sophia was about to get married.
While Laura and Sophia were in the room, someone outside yelled, "Drake arrived. Drake is here."
Immediately, Chloe, Helena, and Sophia's four brothers trotted in and closed the door together.
With a smile, Chloe said, "If Drake doesn't show us his sincerity and convince us, we won't let him enter to see his bride."
Bard laughed, "No worries! Trust me. I've locked the door. I must give him an unforgettable day today."
"Ha ha ha..."
Sophia beamed at them.
Watching them, Laura couldn't help recalling her wedding day.
After Drake, Bailey, and Flynn arrived, they found the door was closed and realized what was happening.
