"But..." Graham was hesitating.

He had also heard about the two mining sites. They offered excellent conditions, and the rumored price was quite attractive. However, his many years of industry experience had taught him that the more attractive the price, the more trouble lurked behind it.

"Do you not trust me, my darling?" Sophia shook him gently. "Remember all the things I've managed for you back in Armania? Do you not trust my abilities?"

"Of course I do," he assured, patting the back of her hand and offering her a gentle smile. She had always been his capable right-hand person, and he was drawn to her for her skills.

"But there's so much money involved in this. We don't know Fat Lawler at all..."

"We're getting to know him!" She painted an exciting picture of their future. "Let's see what your parents have to say when we make a fortune!"

Seeing his lack of response, she leaned in closer and playfully toyed with the button on his collar. "Graham, don't you want to be with me forever? If we achieve something great that impresses your parents, they won't stand in our way... I truly want to be with you. That's why I'm working so hard to earn their approval!"

Graham was touched. He lifted his arms and embraced her, gently running his fingers through her hair.

He had wanted to be with her from the moment he first laid eyes on her. Not only was she beautiful, but he also admired her determination and strength at work. She was a far cry from someone like Maisie, who he didn't find as intriguing.

Sophia filled a void in his life, and he was willing to be a father to her child.

"Okay, I promise," he said softly. "As long as you believe it's achievable, I'll wholeheartedly support you. We'll accomplish something that will earn my parents' respect!"

Sophia joyfully planted a kiss on his cheek, and he hugged her passionately.
