In the Woods Mansion...
The people worked around anxiously.
Sophia watched the family silently with a worried look while a maid handed her so green tea.
Irina, who had left sowhere, walked in and asked, "Father, where is Stephen...I was trying to contact him but he wasn't picking up the call and the other servants didn't know about him."
Arthur scratched his cheek with an embarrassed smile, "It seems, I forgot to tell you. He had already left to attend so duty."
"Haa! When will Leon co...I hope he doesn't encounter any trouble."
"He will be alright."Arthur assessed.
Irina who was pacing back and forth, her eyes suddenly fell on Sophia who was drinking tea casually but stopped sensing a deep shiver down her spine.
Putting the cup, he noticed Irina glare and stared at her incredulously.
Arthur, noticing the situation, coughed and got up, "I have so work to do."
"Wait! Grandpa...Take ..."Gwen sensed a tension and tried to follow Arthur who just ran away as quickly as possible.
As the two departed, a deadly silence prevailed for a mont.
Irina looked down at Sophia from head to toe and asked, "Since how long are you with him?"
She has been aning to have a sincere conversation with her but Leon sticking around, she didn't have the chance to do so.
Sophia smiled and t those piercing gazes with a chuckle"It hadn't been that long. Don't worry we still haven't done anything inappropriate except for your kisses here and there. Don't worry, I will take care of your son very well."
"YOU..."Irina's expression faltered as Sophia's tone was implying sothing.
"Did I ask you that? Stop flaunting things."
Irina stepped forward pointing at Sophia.
Her eyes glowed fiercely as if she wanted to burn Sophia.
"Sophia....I want to know one thing. Are you with him because you love him or is this a one-ti infatuation and let tell you straight, I am not all in favor of this ti of relationship?"
Sophia's brows furrowed and her expression contorted to a frown losing the initial smile.
"What problem do you have with , woman? Do you want to separate us?"
A subtle murderous intent erged from eyes.
Till now, she had never given her heart to anyone. She wasn't averse to dating but she always stopped herself if such things ca to his mind cause she didn't want to be soone who changes people.
Love and marriage had always been a one-ti thing so she always waited for the right one.
Now that soone appeared who made her heart beat crazily making her do anything for him, how could she step back just because of this annoying woman?
So what if this woman is his mother?
If she had any problem, she could try to change but this outright rejection hurts her pride.
"Sophia, my son is 20 while you are almost double her age. I don't like this match. If it was soone like Su Lin who is just a few years older, I wouldn't have any problem. But you are too big for him."
Irina's eyes darted down and a hint of jealousy burned in her eyes.
Sophia's lips twitched uncontrollably on hearing this.
'Did this bitch just call old? Did she just comnt on my age?'
"You are lucky that you are his mother, otherwise I would have attacked you."
"You are also lucky that my son has taken fancy otherwise I won't let you off. You are the age of his mother."
"Do you think people give age a shit in cultivation? Moreover, I have everything your son loves,"Sophia greeted her teeth fiercely, and wrapped her hands making her two assets jiggle.
"Stop boasting," Irina snapped.
Sophia frowned, "What's your problem? Do you want to separate us?"
Irina's gaze turned fierce, "Do you love him or is it infatuation?"
Sophia's smile faded, "What's it to you? Love…Infatuation is all the sa for . Moreover, unlike you, not only do I look flawless, but I am so young that everyone would mistake for your daughter."
Irina gritted her teeth upon hearing this.
This hateful girl was just attacking her sore spot.
Their argunt intensified until Leon entered, and was startled by two won bickering with one another.
Both of them started bickering, the door suddenly burst open and the two swallowed their words seeing Leon.
"UH!"
Leon almost choked seeing flashes of invisible lightning and sparks flying all around.
"What is going on here?"He asked with his heart beating wildly.
His body was already pumping adrenaline out of nowhere prepared to fight.
Irina and Sophia stared at one another.
The two conversed with their gazes in a language that only won know. It was fast, swift and precise.
Then they turned towards Leon, and said"Nothing..."
Leon could only sigh, slling the burning of gunpowder.
"What happened in the Council?"Both Irina and Sophia asked at the sa ti and then stared at one another.
Leon smiled scratching his cheek.
"Nothing troubleso...It's just I have to fill up the forces for the damage I caused."
Irina frowned as if understanding sothing.
"Wait! Fill up the gaps...How many sectors..."Irina asked anxiously.
"Yeah...Sector...He said to that I have to take two or three sectors by myself."
"What the hell?"
Both Irina and Sophia scread aloud at the sa startling Leon.
"Why are they reacting like that?"
Hearing this Irina hit her head and started to explain.
"Humans have 13 occupied Sectors or zones. Each Sector is guarded by an army of family along with others. The sector is huge like a state or several and now you have to guard many. Is it possible?"
"HAHAHHAH!"
"Of course, it's not..."Leon paused and walked towards Sophia.
"For humans that is but I am different...I have things to make up the gap."
Saying this, Leon grabbed Sophia's hands and pulled her.
"I need to go with her to fulfill my promise. Don't worry, we will co back soon."
Leon then snapped his finger and a human ghost figure materialized beside Irina.
"If you want to communicate, use him."
Sophia, who was dazed for a mont, looked at Leon softly. Her heart was set on blaze and happiness welled up in her heart.
Finally...A date...A proper fucking date…
However, before she and Leon could step out, Irina's voice echoed from behind.
"Sophia...Please take care of my son and I hope you don't let him down."
Sophia glances at Irina's unhappy crumbling face and bursts into laughter...
"I will…"
