Chapter 484 Are You Not Amnesic

Claudius hadn't been sleeping well for the past two days so exhaustion was evident on his face.

After dinner, Sophia rested her chin on her palm and stared at him with concern. "Shall I massage you?"

Claudius glanced at Sophia at her offer and nodded.

With a soft smile, Sophia got up from the table and took a seat on the couch, then beckoned Claudius over. "Come here."

Claudius strode toward her and sat beside her.

Sophia turned slightly so that she was half-kneeling on the couch. Her fingers gently massaged his temples.

The living room was silent. None of them spoke.

A while later, his hand covered her, stunning her. Turning her head slightly, she met his dark gaze. "What's wrong?"

"When are you flying back?"

Sophia raised a brow at his question. "Have they done something seeing that you're eager for me to return?"

Even though Claudius couldn't remember anything from the past, he knew Sophia was intelligent after spending time with her. He knew there was no hiding it from her, so he relayed what had happened at his office. "Bruce's side doesn't own many shares, so they're claiming I'm not related to Mom, but Mom had prepared a few copies of DNA test results verified by authorized organizations. They're merely trying to delay by using my identity as an excuse."

Sophia frowned. "You think they're up to their old trick?"

Rose didn't have any relatives in the past. Naturally, her nephews weren't too worried about UI falling into another's hands. Yet, Claudius' appearance threatened them. If they wanted UI, their only choice was to take out Claudius, who was Rose's biological son.

It was a stupid but practical method.

Moreover, Bruce had no idea Rose's will was in Sophia's hands. If they found out, her situation wouldn't be any better than Claudius'.

Hence, it made sense for Claudius to want her to fly back soon.

"They can't lay a hand on me, but they might do something to you."

Sophia chuckled. "Oh, I see. Mr. Lenoir worries that I'll be your burden and weigh you down."

Claudius immediately pulled her into a hug.

Lowering his head, with his lips nearly touching Sophia's, he looked into her eyes. "You will never weigh me down."

"And why is that?"
