The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1720

Thaddeus eyed his daughter deeply. “Do I need someone else to tell me what’s going on? I’ve seen how that man treats you these past few years. Why are you doing this to yourself?”

Sophia bowed her head and continued chopping the vegetables. “Dad, I can handle my own business! I know what I want!”

Thaddeus was frustrated. “Are you saying I shouldn’t interfere now? If I hadn’t intervened earlier, would that man still be with you? If he had any sense of self-respect, he would have left you long ago! Can’t you be a bit more courageous to face reality and find a man who truly loves you?”

“Enough!” Sophia angrily threw the vegetables she was preparing onto the floor. “Don’t say another word! Marcus and I are perfectly fine! We love each other! I won’t leave him, and I won’t allow him to leave me. I’d rather die than have Marcus not by my side!”
