The housekeepers in the living room earlier joined them. They were at a loss seeing Morgan leaving
for they didn't know how long they would get to stay at the Tanner residence.
Since Old Mr. Tanner is gone, I suppose Ms. Sophie won't return to this house anymore.
âMorgan, please take care of yourself. Give us a call when you have time.â
After all, they had worked together for so many years. Naturally, they would feel reluctant to part.
Morgan smiled.
âThank you for taking care of me all these years. I hope you don't take any offense to any
wrongdoings I did in the past,â he said with a gentle smile.
âMorgan, you're the one who has been taking care of us all this time. Please don't say something
like that.â The housekeepers started crying again.
Both Yale and Willow were difficult to work for.
They knew their working life would've been much tougher if Morgan wasn't there to shoulder some
of the responsibilities for them
âGo back.â
Morgan waved his hand and walked out of the Tanner family's mansion. Tristan opened the car door
for him and even helped him put his luggage into the trunk.
âI can do it, Mr. Tristan.â I'm only a housekeeper. I'm not worthy enough for Mr. Tristan to do so
much for me.
âIt's getting late, Morgan. Why don't you spend the night at my place? I'll arrange your
accommodation tomorrow.â He has stayed in the Tanner residence all these years. Now that he's
leaving, I suppose he doesn't have a place to go.
âIt's fine. I can stay at the hotel for a night.â Josiah had left him enough money and made
arrangements for him.
"Go to my place, and you'll be the butler there. Please don't decline my offer. I really do need a
butler.â Sophie rattled off an address that was close to Tristan's mansion.
Tristan glanced at her.
When did she buy a mansion there? It looks like my girlfriend is rather wealthy.
Tristan drove to Sophie's mansion. There wasn't anyone staying in the house yet, but she had the
place regularly cleaned.
She led Morgan to a bedroom and found him some bedding before preparing the bed for him.
"Ms. Sophie, I still want to return to my hometown.â He knew at a glance that Sophie didn't stay at
the mansion often.
She doesn't need to waste money taking care of me.
Sophie frowned at his remark.
âMorgan, you're like a grandfather to me. Please don't turn down my offer. I need someone to
manage this mansion, so you don't have to feel pressured.â Plus, she trusted Morgan.
The rims of Morgan's eyes turned red at her heartfelt comment.
Sophie wrapped her arms around him.
âMorgan, even though Grandpa is gone, I'm still here.â
Tears slid out from the corner of Morgan's eyes.
Sophie might look like a cold person, but she was the most sentimental.
The mansion had everything. After taking a shower, Morgan lay in bed. However, he couldn't fall
asleep, so he took out his photos with Josiah from his luggage.
âDon't worry, Old Mr. Tanner. Ms. Sophie did indeed treat me well. You don't have to worry about
me at all.â
I guess I can do well in helping Ms. Sophie take care of this mansion. I'll do my best and not let her
down.
In the end, Morgan went to sleep with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Tristan brought Sophie back to his mansion.
"You've already made the arrangements for Morgan from before.â He poured her a cup of warm
water since the night in late fall was quite chilly.
"Yeah."
She knew that day would come, so she bought the mansion earlier. Besides, she even told Josiah to
bring Morgan and moved into her place earlier, but Josiah refused.
Sadly, only Morgan was left.
She couldn't let him go back to his hometown on his own.
After taking a sip of warm water, Sophie felt warmth spread through her.
Tristan sat on the couch while Sophie rested her head on his thigh. She couldn't fall asleep after that
incident.
"Oh, right. Did anything happen during your trip to Anglandur?â Sophie finally got a chance to ask
him after everything was over.
âNothing happened.â
Everything was part of the plan. The only accident was Nicholas, but since he wanted to die, why
would I stop him?
Actually, Sophie wanted to inquire about Nicholas.
That Nicholas is stubborn as a mule. I'm sure he caused a lot of trouble for Tristan.
âI shot Nicholas and still have no idea if he's dead or alive.â Tristan had no intention of hiding it from
her since he knew she would find out about it at some point.
âOh.â
Sophie didn't have much of a reaction to that news since she was aware Nicholas had the ability to
drive anyone crazy.
It serves him right that Tristan shot him
âBe careful, then. Nicholasâ father is also an unreasonable person.â Sophie knew the characters of
the two Sable family men well.
Sophie toyed with Tristan's fingers as she spoke. His fingers were so pretty. His palm had a layer of
callouses from holding a gun so much.
Yet, that didn't stop his hands from looking attractive at all.
âGot it. Don't worry. I'm confident in my capabilities.â I even caught Stephen let alone Nicholas.
In the meantime, at the Sable residence, Nicholas, who was unconscious for three nights, had finally
awakened
Javier could finally heave a relieved breath when Nicholas woke up.
âYou're finally awake, Nicholas. Do you know how close you are to death this time?â Javier asked
angrily.
How could he be so careless!
Nicholas didn't say a word. The last memory he had was Tristan shooting him.
D*mn Tristan! I'll pay him back for that shot sooner or later.
âI'm begging you, Tristan. Can you get your act together and stop messing with Tristan? Can you do
that?â
Nicholas sat up on the bed.
âBetween Tristan and I, only one of us can live.â This world can only accommodate one of us.
âYouâ" Javier couldn't finish his sentence from the anger rolling within him. âWhatever. I'll help you
since you want him dead so desperately. Well, we can't let Tristan live after all.â
He has to pay the price for hurting my son.
"However, you better take some time off to recover from your injuries before that. We don't need to
dirty our hands to kill Tristan.â As long as you have the money, there's no lack of people willing to
sell their souls to you. Thus, there's no need to risk your own life.
âNo, I have to end him myself. Also, I must marry Sophie.â Even if that's the last thing I do.
Javier was speechless. As I expected, Nicholas did it for Sophie. I knew I shouldn't let that woman
live. How unfortunate that I can't kill her. If I annihilated her, this wouldn't have happened. However,
regret is pointless. The current Sophie is too difficult to deal with.
The next day, Sophie got up early. Knowing she wanted to head over to the Central Hospital, Tristan
didn't slow her down. After he packed his things, he immediately took her there.
Upon arriving, she heard something had happened to Arius. Sophie's heart sank at the news.
