Chapter 486 Moving Away Again

"Dean, come on, don't be mad at me anymore. Let's talk about whatever's bugging you when you get back. And hey, remember, it's almost time to visit our parents' graves. You should come with me, right?"

Dean listened to the voicemail and felt a pang in his chest. He hesitated, fingers hovering over the screen, unsure if he should message Archibald.

Sophia, who was nearby, noticed his hesitation and asked softly, "Is it something about your family?"

Her implication was clear: was the call from Archibald?

Sophia was still uneasy about Dean's interactions with the Lancaster family. After all, if Dean softened and listened to Archibald or Celeste, she would lose her last hope and support in Emerald City.

Even though Sophia had started to develop feelings for Dean, she was acutely aware of the gap between herself and the Lancaster family. Moreover, her relationship with Hayden was at an all-time low.

Dean nodded, his gaze complex as he looked at Sophia and said slowly, "It's Archibald's call."

Sophia saw a hint of dependence in Dean's expression, as if he was seeking her opinion. So, she pulled out her classic advice and said to Dean, "Archibald really has it tough.

"He likes a woman who was abandoned by others, but he's too embarrassed to tell Celeste. So, he uses you as a shield. Don't blame him; he has his own difficulties..."

Before Sophia could finish, Dean couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. "He has difficulties? If he truly likes Emily, he should explain it to Aunt Celeste himself! That's his problem.

"And now, I'm the one taking the heat. Aunt Celeste has been criticizing me behind my back, and now Archibald is trying to play the good guy. Am I supposed to forgive him? It's ridiculous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dean's gaze became resolute. The earlier unread message on his phone screen felt like a lingering shadow in his heart. He swiped his finger and deleted the message completely.
