When her father hit her with a stick, Sophia gritted her teeth and did not cry.

In the hospital, when the nurse applied medicine for her, she was in so much pain that her head was covered in sweat, but Sophia did not cry.

Sophia didn’t cry when she was dragged into the van by a few men.

However, a simple sentence like, “Were you frightened” broke Sophia’s defenses.

This man had magically appeared at her most helpless moment, comforting her heart and emotions like a god.

Sophia couldn’t hold it in anymore and started crying.

James patted Sophia’s back and comforted her, “It’s alright now.”

Then, he looked coldly at the man driving the van and said in a deep voice, “Speak, who sent you here?”

The man shook his head.

“If you don’t tell me, none of you can leave today,” James said angrily.

As he spoke, he kicked off the van’s tire.

He looked at the man who had hit on Sophia and said, “I’ll give you one more chance. Think about your answer!”

This was a van’s tire, and this man had actually kicked it off with one kick.

He thought back to when he had attacked just now. Before he could see clearly, his companions who had come with him had been taken down by him.

The man who was trying to hit on her said with a trembling voice, “Yes, it’s Miss Wilson…She, she said that as long as we kidnap Sophia, she will give us a generous reward.”

“Jessica?” When Sophia heard this, a trace of despair flashed across her heart. She had already been forced to this point, but Jessica still refused to let her go?

“Where is she? Bring us there!” James said coldly.

Sophia shook her head and said to James, “James, thank you. Let them go. I want to rest.”

Seeing Sophia’s pale face, James finally compromised.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Go back and tell your employer that this matter will not be let go just like that! Get lost!”

After saying that, James looked at Sophia and said softly, “Let’s go home.”



When James thought of the scene just now, he still had some lingering fear.

If Charlie hadn’t told her that Sophia insisted on leaving the hospital, he wouldn’t have known.

What would have happened if he hadn’t rushed over?

James frowned. Although the two of them got married with the intention of helping each other, Sophia was still his wife.

He had the responsibility to ensure her safety.

The two of them hailed a cab and returned to James ‘house.

What they didn’t know was that the moment they got into the taxi, Charlie, who was standing at the hospital, almost laughed to death.

This James was really good at pretending!

His Lamborghini was parked in the hospital’s parking lot, but he actually took a taxi for this woman.

He was really something.

When she returned to James ‘house, Sophia’s complicated mood was almost better.

But looking at the clean and spacious room in front of her, Sophia couldn’t help but feel a little conflicted.

This man was willing to bring her home just like that. He did not even mind the trouble of protecting and taking care of her.

So what if the house was a little smaller?

After a pause, Sophia asked, “Did you buy this house with a loan? How much is the mortgage? During my stay here, we can split the mortgage equally.”

The decoration of the house looked very simple, and there was very little furniture.

Presumably, buying a house had already cost James a lot of savings.

Hearing this, James’s surprised expression disappeared in an instant. He knew what Sophia meant, so he said calmly, “You can just live in peace in the house. I bought it with all my money. I didn’t bring you here for any ulterior motives, but to deal with my grandmother’s surprise inspection.”

“Also, the room is a little basic, I hope you won’t mind.” James added.

Ah, so that’s the case!

Sophia smiled, feeling relieved.

It seemed that the James family was also a problem.

No wonder he had been visiting her in the hospital recently.

Perhaps he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his family if she suddenly disappeared.

This made sense.

What was she dreaming?

Sophia smiled. “Okay, no problem. You’ve helped me so much. It’s my duty to deal with your family.”

Looking around the house, Sophia continued, “However, I might add some more things to the room. Is that okay?”

James nodded.

“Thank you.” Sophia thanked him and turned around to tidy up the room.

However, before she could start, James spoke again, “This is my salary card. Every month, my salary will be paid to the card on time. If you need anything at home, you can buy it.”

“Cough cough!” Sophia was a little surprised.

” I…I have money,” she said nervously. “We agreed that we were just satisfying our own needs. You don’t have to give me your salary.”

“In addition, consider things as me renting this place. I will pay the rent on time every month.”

James frowned. Why was this woman so difficult to deal with?

However, seeing Sophia’s sincere face, James suppressed the impatience in his heart and said, “Take it. Although we help each other, we’re still married. As a man, I have to take responsibility. Moreover, I’m not at the point where I have to split the bill with my wife.”
