Chapter 527 - 527 Stubborn Sophia Leocadia_1

The dumplings smelled great, but Julius Reed couldn’t taste a thing.

Surrounded by women, he was the only man at the table.

During the meal, Anna Harris took initiative to sit beside Julius Reed, with Quella Radcliffe on the other side, guarding their ‘general’ like the guards in a game of Chinese chess.

Although Julius Reed was indeed quite handsome, he felt extremely nervous inside.

This dinner was like a battlefield without smoke, the brief peace nothing more than the calm before the storm.

“After you finish eating, I’ll take you back.”

Julius Reed glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already getting late.

If he didn’t go back soon, Sophia Leocadia would probably have to stay at a hotel.

It’s ultimately unsafe for a girl to be alone.

“I’m not leaving.”

Sophia Leocadia, with a dumpling in her mouth, said cheerfully, “Quella sister has already agreed to let me stay!”

“Pfft!”

Julius Reed nearly choked to death on a dumpling.

“What?”

He asked with wide eyes, truly wondering if he’d misheard.

“I said, Quella sister has let me stay. Aren’t you happy about it?”

Sophia Leocadia blinked her big eyes innocently and looked at Julius Reed adorably.

“It was my consent. It’s so late now, I’m not comfortable with her staying in a hotel by herself. And since she’s come from so far to bring Aunt Yarrow, we should at least extend some hospitality.”

Quella Radcliffe added another dumpling to Julius Reed’s bowl as she spoke calmly.

“When did this happen?”

Julius Reed felt too surprised, unable to grasp how everything happened without his knowledge.

Come on, the deed to the house has his name as the owner!

“While you were wrapping dumplings. Can’t I decide on such a small matter, darling?”

Quella Radcliffe asked with a hint of grievance.

“Sure!”

Julius Reed nodded, “You manage the house, I manage the affairs outside, so for things at home, I’ll listen to you.”

“Tsk! Isn’t it you who manage the house and Quella who manages outside?”

Anna Harris commented disdainfully.

Three years of cooking and doing laundry, yet you dare say you manage the outside?

So shameless!

Everything in the house had been earned through Quella’s hard work outside.

“That’s during the day! In the daytime, my wife manages outside, and I manage the house! But when night falls, naturally my wife manages the house, and I go out to buy food for her!”

Julius Reed glared at Anna Harris.

“Pfft!”

Anna Harris couldn’t hold back her laughter. She turned to Quella Radcliffe and said seriously, “See that? He’s starting to sweet-talk. You’d better be careful.”

“I warn you! Don’t stir up trouble!”

Julius Reed threatened Anna Harris with his chopsticks.

“It’s okay, it’s not his fault.”

Quella Radcliffe sent some dumplings over to Bastien Yarrow’s side and continued, “It might be Itai Huntington’s mouth that’s blessed.”

“Clang!”

Julius Reed’s chopsticks fell to the ground, and he sighed deeply, “I’m not eating anymore.”

It’s too hard!

Just a meal.

And he, being innocent, has now become a scumbag?

Thinking about this, Julius Reed’s anger surged, and he decided to vent his frustration on the powers behind Odingle!

“Hold on, you’ll give up your room for Sophia, and you’ll sleep on the sofa today.”

Quella Radcliffe said indifferently.

“Alright then!”

Julius Reed sighed.

“The blanket isn’t enough; make sure you don’t catch a cold on the couch.”

Quella Radcliffe continued to speak.

Indeed, women do hold grudges.

But Julius Reed didn’t feel angry; at least Quella Radcliffe cared about him.

After dinner, everyone gradually went back to their rooms to rest, and Julius Reed lay alone on the couch, turning off the lights to sleep!

There were still six hours until the forces behind Odingle landed ashore, and he had just enough time to rest for a while and wait for Beckett Carmichael’s men to deliver the goods.

The chubby man didn’t disappoint him.

Half an hour ago, Julius Reed received a message that the items had been found and were being prepared to be transported by private plane.

Time trickled by, and at eleven o’clock at night, Quella Radcliffe quietly came out and placed a blanket over Julius Reed.

Indeed, she cared about him in her heart.

No sooner had Quella Radcliffe left than Sophia Leocadia stealthily came out, holding a blanket in her arms as well.

When she saw that Julius Reed already had a blanket over him, she was stunned for a moment, then squatted next to him, lost in her thoughts.

And so, the time reached two o’clock at night.

Sophia Leocadia didn’t leave, nor did she sleep.

She just sat there the whole time.

Julius Reed didn’t sleep either.

“You probably have forgotten who I am. But I have always remembered you, never once forgetting.”

Sophia Leocadia suddenly spoke, causing Julius Reed to feel a pang in his heart.

Wasn’t this young lady muttering in her sleep?

“As a child, I was mischievous, and sneaked out to the streets when my family wasn’t paying attention. Do you know, when I saw the oncoming truck, my heart was terrified!”

“But you, like a superhero from the comics, just swept me up in your arms! Since then, I’ve been thinking, when I grow up, I must marry you.”

“So I made a wish every year on my birthday, praying to heaven that I’d meet you again. Maybe I really touched the heavens because on my eighteenth birthday, you appeared.”

“There were no rainbow clouds, just an electric scooter.”

With that, Sophia Leocadia let out a snort of laughter.

“It was you!”

Just then, Julius Reed grabbed her hand to signal her to be silent.

“You… you haven’t slept!”

Sophia Leocadia was startled, obviously not expecting that Julius Reed hadn’t fallen asleep!

Then what she had just said…

Sophia Leocadia’s face turned crimson; she thought Julius Reed had been asleep long ago.

“I didn’t expect that the little girl I saved back then would grow up to be this beautiful.”

Julius Reed gave a wry smile, “I’m sorry, we can’t possibly have a future together. You’ve seen it, I have a wife. I love her very much, and she loves me a lot.”

“I know, but I can be the other woman! Your sister needs someone to take care of her too!”

Sophia Leocadia giggled, seemingly not feeling that this detracted from the Leocadia family princess’s dignity.

If people knew that the Leocadia family princess actually wanted to be someone’s mistress, the Leocadia family members would lose all face!

“It’s impossible, I am a dangerous person, being with me would only put you in peril. Moreover, I can only love my wife, no one else. You are young and so beautiful; you will definitely find the right person.”

Julius Reed felt helpless.

“Aside from you, I won’t marry anyone else. Even if there’s danger, if Quella Radcliffe can withstand it, so can I.”

Sophia Leocadia insisted stubbornly.

“The danger I am talking about isn’t just talk; it’s real! There will be countless Shadow Warriors, countless enemies, wanting my life! But before I die, I’ll fend off everything for my wife, to allow her to live as normal a life as possible. Sophia, please give up.”

Julius Reed glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was three-thirty in the morning.

Half an hour remained until those people were due.

“I can.”

Sophia Leocadia nodded.

“Then come with me, if what you see later doesn’t scare you, then I won’t send you away again.”

Julius Reed threw off the blanket and looked down at the ground floor.

A sedan with flashing hazard lights had already stopped at the front gate.
