The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 696

"Alright. I'll wait. I owe you and Ms. Sinclair for this." Sky said, exhaling softly. With the confirmation that Zachary and Sophia wanted something in return, his heart finally settled.

"We'll talk again when Sophia and I return. Let's have dinner together. We can speak properly then." Zachary's voice came through the line again, calm as ever.

"Alright. When you return, dinner's on me."

Sky agreed without hesitation. The Holt and Walker families had business ties as well. If Zachary and Sophia were together, and this old grudge between them could be resolved, it would be for the better.

It was always better to make peace than hold onto resentment. In the business world, there were no permanent allies, but there were no permanent enemies, either. Everything came down to interest.

After hanging up, Sky stayed on the balcony for a while, his thoughts swirling. He couldn't quite name the feeling in his chest, but he was still filled with a quiet, almost uncontrollable joy.

During all his time behind bars, he had longed for home. The prison beds had been cold and hard. At first, he could hardly sleep. The air was heavy, and the silence unbearable.

It took him a long time to adjust. With each passing day, he had slowly settled into a rhythm, though that rhythm eventually dulled him. He stopped feeling. He just existed.

But he was home again. Everything still looked and felt the same. And the familiar surroundings stirred both gratitude and regret deep inside him. This time, he would treasure it all more dearly.

A knock came at the door.

"Mr. Sky, Mr. and Mrs. Walker asked me to bring you downstairs."

Gorge's voice came from outside the room.

Sky pulled himself out of his thoughts and replied quickly. "Alright. I'm coming." He tidied himself, calmed his breathing, then opened the door and made his way down the stairs.

By the time he reached the living room, Lincoln and Hector were already back. Both were in loungewear and slippers, clearly having showered and changed.
