Chapter 718

Odie pushed Sophie into the bedroom with a strong nudge. Sophie stumbled a few steps, almost losing her balance. She looked at Odie with feigned annoyance and asked, “Mr. Odie, was that really necessary?”

Not a word was spoken the whole way home, but as soon as they returned to the Minton estate, Odie’s true colors showed.

“I know. How else would I dare to be so bold in front of you?”
