Sophia was indeed very touched that day.
Chuck gave her hope. He beat Loomis up and protected her.
Sophia therefore decided that she would only make the explosives exclusively for Chuck. He deserved to have it, and he alone would be able to get it from her. As long as he asked, she would give it to him. No one else could do so.
Sophia had given him a few bombs previously, and she was already giving them to him again. Chuck kept it without hesitation and said, "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite. I'm willing to do this. In fact, I'm willing to do anything for you," Sophia said softly.
"Don't feel stressed. I won't need anything from you. Just don't hide anything from me," Sophia looked at Chuck.
She felt guilty and couldn't look straight into Chuck's eyes. After all, he was too young.
"Alright, I won't hide anything from you," Chuck shook his head and promised her.
He already understood that he had to take responsibility for his own matters.
He could no longer treat Sophia like he did with Quinn back then.
In fact, Sophia was a pitiful woman.
Chuck understood she was tired and stressed out. She had to take charge of such a huge family. The responsibility was so heavy and the pressure was great since she had to avoid being devoured by other families.
It was already very difficult for her. He felt happy that he was the one to open her heart.
"Thank you,” Sophia let out a sigh of relief. If Chuck avoided her, she would be heartbroken.
"Aren't you tired managing such a big family?" Chuck asked.
"I am. Do you want to help me?"
"Urn, how am I supposed to help?" Chuck shrugged. If he helped her, he would be interfering with the affairs of the Lawrence family. Her other family members would definitely be against it.
"It doesn't matter, you can help however you want to," Sophia said gently.
"Aren't you afraid that I will take over your family?" Chuck joked around.
Of course, he wouldn't do that.
There was no reason for him to do so. Furthermore, he even had a relationship with her.
"No worries. The Lawrence family has been passed down to me for some time now. Although I am unable to change the fact that it will always be the Lawrence family..." Sophia stopped and lowered her head.
"What?" Chuck was curious.
"Whatever is mine is yours," Sophia could not bring herself to say it. She did not realize that she accidentally said it out loud.
Maybe it was the wave of emotions that she had been feeling that day, or the fact that her attitude had done a 180 degree change. It was as though she was experiencing her first love all over again.
"Oh, I understand," Chuck finally understood what she meant. She was hinting him that he could become the boss behind the Lawrence family!
It was a bit out of his expectation!
It was an interesting idea, but he couldn't do it. If that happened, Sophia would become the sinner of her family.
"It's good that you understand. Although you won't be short of money, you can ask me when you need more. I'll give you lots of money," Sophia offered.
"How much do you mean?"
"A lot. I'll give you all I have," Sophia replied seriously.
Chuck was silent for a moment. A woman like Sophia was really amazing.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit reluctant to leave.
It felt like the air between them was frozen.
Sophia lowered her head and muttered, "Chuck, don't you regret being with me back then?"
Chuck didn't respond.
Sophia raised her head. Her beautiful gaze was filled with disappointment, "You regret it, right? I'm really sorry..."
"No, I don't," Chuck shrugged.
"Really?" Sophia's voice was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes," When Chuck nodded, he suddenly heard Elise's voice that said, "Morn..."
Sophia let go of Chuck and kept a distance away from him. However, she said, "Chuck, don't let Elise know about what happened between us."
"Okay," Of course, Chuck would not tell Elise about it.
When Elise came in and saw that her morn was looking fine, she was shocked. She had been locked up in her room by her mother. It was not easy for her to escape, but she was still worried about her morn.
Thankfully, nothing seemed to have happened. Elise was so glad that she burst into tears!
She gave Sophia a big hug.
Sophia comforted her lovely daughter. She patted Elise on her back while looking at Chuck.
"I'm leaving," Chuck mouthed silently.
Sophia nodded reluctantly.
After Chuck left, Elise asked for more details. There was nothing to hide, so Sophia told her the whole story. Elise was dumbfounded.
"How did Chuck do it?" Elise widened her eyes and asked. How did he manage to get hold of Loomis' weakness?
"I'm not sure," Sophia replied. Of course, she did not know about it, but from that day onwards, she knew that the man whom she loved... Was a real man!!
