Zhao Dong asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong with uncle's health?"
Sophie did not answer, but asked with wet eyes, "Husband, do you think I am an unfilial daughter?"
Zhao Dong held her in his arms, "No, my wife is the best woman in the world!"
Sophie leaned against his chest tightly, "When I was a child, just like you, I had a very happy family."
"At that time, my father's business was not busy. He would go home on time every day to accompany my mother and me."
"But since my mother passed away, everything has changed."
As she said that, she pushed Zhao Dong away, "Do you know how my mother died?"
Zhao Dong guessed, "Because of illness?"
Regarding family matters, he rarely heard Sophie talk about it. Regarding his mother, this was the first time he heard her talk about it.
Sophie shook her head, "It was a car accident. My mother took me to school, and there was a car accident on the way."
"In order to protect me, my mother protected me completely."
Zhao Dong could guess the outcome. Seeing that Sophie was not in a good mood, he hurriedly put her in his arms again, "Don't be afraid, you still have me."
Sophie rubbed against Zhao Dong's chest and said disappointedly: "Since then, I have felt that my father doesn't like me."
"Then even my aunt changed and became very harsh on me."
"I always feel that they don't treat me as a relative, but as a tool."
"You also know what happened later. My relationship with my family is not good."
"Especially my father, before we went abroad, we hadn't spoken for several years."
"It wasn't until my father fell ill that I rushed back from abroad. But by that time, my father could no longer recognize people."
"Really, there is no warmth at home. All my relatives are united for profit."
"I feel like there is a cage. If you hadn't broken into my world, I might not have had the courage to resist."
"In the eyes of outsiders, I am strong, cold, and aloof. In fact, I am particularly afraid of being alone."
"Growing up, I didn't have any close friends or close friends."
"After getting to know you, I feel that the world is full of color and warmth."
As she said that, she raised her head, with caution in her eyes, "Husband, will it bother you if I am so clingy to you now?"
Zhao Dong kissed her forehead gently, "Stop thinking about it."
Knowing that Sophie couldn't save face, he took the initiative and said, "Tomorrow, I will go back with you."
Sophie didn't respond, "Return to where?"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Of course I'm going home."
Sophie was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, I don't want to go back."
Zhao Dong stared into her eyes and said firmly: "But I want to go back!"
Seeing Sophie's surprised expression, he explained: "Since I want to marry you openly, how can I not go to your home and pay a formal visit?"
"Besides, I've never been to your house before. I have to meet my uncle."
"This is a rule and etiquette!"
"And I said at the beginning that I must get your family's approval for our marriage!"
"We can't let you not even see your mother's family on the wedding day, right?"
Seeing that Sophie wanted to open her mouth, he interrupted, "No need to explain, I know you don't care, but I can't. I don't want you to suffer any injustice."
"On your wedding day, I want you to marry into the Zhao family in a glorious way, and I want you to be the happiest bride in the world!"
Sophie was moved and said: "Husband, you are so kind!"
As she said this, she became worried again, "But my family doesn't like you."
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "As long as you like me!"
Sophie asked again, "Then what should you do if they make things difficult for you?"
