Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 725 - 721: Is Living the Happiest Thing? (Part 2)
She turned sideways, her small hand tightly gripping the corner of the bedsheet, her knuckles pale.
Asher Land, you’ll definitely come back for me, won’t you?
...
On the day of departure, the weather suddenly turned exceptionally nice. Under the warm sunshine, the thick snow slowly melted away. Sophie Smith wore a knee-length burgundy wool coat, with a simple gray turtleneck sweater underneath, and her slightly curly long hair softly draped over her shoulders. Nolan Davis unloaded her and Eva Miller’s luggage from the car and handed it to them.
"Maybe it’ll just take half a year, and I can come find you." Nolan Davis stood in front of her, his eyes full of reluctance.
"Alright, I’ll be waiting for Mr. Davis to come over." Sophie Smith lifted her head, a smile blooming at the corner of her mouth, deliberately speaking lightly, "Then, Mr. Davis can also bring Amanda along. She was just telling me a few days ago that she wanted to visit Eastern City."
Nolan Davis frowned; she clearly knew that wasn’t what he meant.
He came to find her, determined to be with her, not just a simple visit, like a tourist for a few days.
But he wouldn’t say more to her; they both understood each other, and neither would expose the other’s intentions.
Sophie Smith glanced at the time; it was time to board the plane.
"Mr. Davis, I have to go now, goodbye."
After saying goodbye, she dared not look directly into Nolan Davis’s eyes again. She turned and walked swiftly to the counter, got her boarding pass, and entered the security checkpoint.
Nolan Davis called out to Eva Miller, who was a few steps behind Sophie Smith.
"Miss Miller, please, you must take good care of Little Sophie. I will come to her as soon as possible." His eyes were full of pleading, and seeing Nolan Davis like that, Eva Miller also felt somewhat sympathetic.
Even if Sophie Smith had no feelings for Nolan Davis, he was always behind her, silently protecting her.
Respecting her, caring for her.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Davis. Sophie and I are like sisters. Her business is my business, so you don’t need to worry."
"Alright." Nolan Davis nodded slightly, "Have a safe trip."
He turned away in sorrow.
Little Sophie, goodbye.
...
The plane glided down the runway, and the surrounding scenery quickly moved away.
Sophie Smith felt a dizzy spell for a moment as the plane left the ground and soared into the bright blue sky. She felt as though her heart was being pulled away, experiencing an inexplicable suffocating sensation that made breathing particularly difficult.
"Sophie, are you okay?" Eva Miller looked at her worriedly and handed her a cup of water.
"I’m fine." She accepted the cup and took a small sip, holding it with both hands while turning her head to gaze out the window.
"Sophie, you must pull yourself together." Seeing Sophie Smith’s despondent appearance, Eva Miller began to gently persuade her, "When you return to Eastern City, you have me and Alexander, the three of us together will live well. One cannot always dwell in pain; isn’t the world beautiful? Living is the greatest happiness..."
Living... is the greatest happiness? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Sophie Smith thought, if Asher Land truly perished in that car accident, then living should be the most painful thing for her.
Asher Land...
No matter how much time passes, she just can’t forget him. That man seemed engraved in her bones, blended in her blood, never to be erased.
