Chapter 5 It's Like Coming Home

  • Andrew kept looking at Sophie, who seemed confused and kept guessing about his presence in the mansion.
  • She thought Max didn't have any siblings, but his brother's presence still shocks her.
  • “Hey, are you okay? Do you look injured? Let me help you with that.”
  • Andrew immediately took some medical equipment Sophie needed.
  • Then he immediately saw and cleaned the wounds on her body, that's what made him look so worried.
  • There were bruises on her hands and her legs, he swiftly immediately put some medical equipment on her wounds.
  • “What happened to you? Why did this happen?”
  • She was silent for a moment thinking about everything, all the pain, and suffering that she felt as a result of the actions of her fiancé.
  • “I'm fine, so welcome back to the mansion and I will help you with anything you need to.”
  • “That's okay, you don't need to worry about me, I will be okay, all the servants here can help me, I want you to get better first.”
  • “Yes, thank you a lot, but you don't need to worry about me.”
  • Sophie continued to pay attention to Andrew, who was continuing to heal her carefully and in detail, she felt his affection that she had never felt before.
  • Then she suddenly thought about Max and her marriage contract with him, it couldn't be postponed anymore because she had already signed their marriage contract too.
  • So, she tries to control and manage her acts to avoid all the risks and bad things that will happen in the future because she knows she has to deal with someone cruel and dangerous, and soon she will merge with him.
  • “Hey, what do you think? You looked gloomy and scared since the first time I saw you, is there something you want to say?”
  • “Not really, I just don't mean to bother you, I'll go.”
  • “No, I could swear that you don't bother me at all, and you don't need to be afraid of that.”
  • Sophie immediately tidied up her stuff and walked into the room to rest and kept her distance from Andrew.
  • But suddenly, she saw a few frightened maids and prepared to leave.
  • Then her phone rang.
  • “This is me, Max, I will be right back in 2 days, the useless daughter of my servants is sick, so I have sent you some food and money while I'm gone, I'll be right back.”
  • “Yes, thank you very much.”
  • And then she checked her account and saw tons of money there, Max just left her for 2 days, but the money he left for her was too much and was able for her to live for many years, she thought.
  • “Hey, do you know about everything that happened?” Andrew comes and asks her.
  • “About what?”
  • “The daughter of our servants is in chronic illness in the hospital, so they need to take care of her.”
  • “Oh yeah, I already know about that.”
  • “So my brother and I gave them an excuse to take care of their daughter for a while.”
  • She nods with a flat expression, as if she is reluctant to interact with him.
  • “But you don't need to worry, I will take care of you until you fully recover, too.”
  • “W-what? You don't need to, it's not your obligation, we just met.”
  • “If we've just known each other, why don't you tell us in detail about who you are.”
  • “I'm Max's fiancé, and we will get married soon after his business trips.” She answered doubtfully.
  • “Oh wow, so, you are the first woman who managed to conquer and be brought into this mansion by my brother.”
  • “Yeah maybe.”
  • “But that's okay, that means we will be a family, so I will still take care of you until you fully recover, after all, there are no servants in this mansion who can help you.”
  • “You don't have to do it, I can do everything myself, I'm used to it.”
  • “Yes, but I'm not sure about your situation like that, so please let me help you.”
  • She was silent, then returned to her room.
  • Sophie and Andrew's meeting left an impression on her mind, she didn't easily forget about their meaningful meeting.
  • In her room, she really can't stop thinking about him, about his kindness, affection, and warmth, all of which are very different from his brother.
  • He is very handsome, charming, charismatic, and attractive and looks younger than his brother, their aura also feels opposite.
  • Max usually always has the fighter, cold, mysterious, tough, ruthless aura, while his brother Andrew is warmer, charismatic, ticklish, and soft.
  • But they are still so handsome, the combination of Italian and Greek from their parents makes them look so handsome and exotic.
  • Even though, Sophie has been feeling sad lately because she feels trapped in her marriage contract.
  • But Andrew's presence makes her feel better and when she thinks about everything about him, she feels flattered and happy.
  • Why didn't she know a good man in the first place and instead was with a cruel and bad man?
  • I don't know, she felt confused and sad about everything that had happened, but she learned to accept her fate.
  • She fell asleep, until the next morning, she woke up because someone was knocking on her room.
  • With a shabby and disheveled appearance after waking up, she immediately opened the door.
  • “Good morning, I brought you breakfast, let's eat together, and if you need anything you can also tell me.”
  • “Hmm, thank you a lot for this, but I think I want to eat alone here because I would like to tidy up my room.”
  • “No, you must eat breakfast with me, we will soon become a family, so it wouldn't hurt if I got to know you better.”
  • “Well, I'll be right out after taking a bath.”
  • “Yes, but don't take too long, I'll be waiting for you in the outdoor dining room right next to the pool.”
  • “Yes, I'll be right there.”
  • Andrew's heart is currently filled with awe, and amazement when he sees Sophie.
  • She is the most beautiful woman he has ever met, it's just that unfortunately his brother Max knows her first and will soon continue the marriage together.
  • This makes him feel upset, if only this didn't happen, he would be able to get her sacred heart and make her his wife.
