Perhaps Sophia had heard it wrongly, but his words somewhat touched her.

 

At this point, she quickly turned away and looked outside the window, pursing her lips and refusing to say a word.

After putting Sophia and John’s suitcases in the trunk, Zack got in the passenger seat while Mrs. Constance and Isabelle were still standing next to their sedan.

Even though Isabelle looked fine, Mrs. Constance did not look too pleased.

Leaning on the car window, Sophia saw the reluctant look on Mrs. Constance’s face as she got in the car, and how hard she then slammed the car door.

The sight of this made Sophia laugh.

Their car took off first while Mrs. Constance’s car followed.

Throughout the car ride, no one was talking, and the car was heading toward the Constance Residence.

 

It was a familiar route for Sophia.

Looking at the view outside the windows on both sides of the car, Sophia felt rather despondent.

When she moved out of the Constance Residence, she thought that she would never return, but look at how quickly things changed.

 

The car kept on going until they entered the front yard of the Constance Residence, which was situated halfway up a hill; the surrounding area was extremely quiet.

As Old Mr. and Mrs. Constance both loved the countryside, there were many trees and plants around the Constance Residence.

Behind the Constance Residence was a bamboo forest. It was very well managed and it made the environment feel quiet and peaceful.
