Chapter 181: A Big Joke

Michael used to bring questionable girls home, and when his mother found out, he’d blame Sophia. He’d say they were Sophia’s friends and that she brought them over.

Michael’s mother would punish Sophia for it. Michael would silently watch, never speaking up for her, acting like a coward.

‘Was this what Michael thought love was?’

‘That was a big joke.’

Sophia thought only her younger, more innocent self could have been fooled by such a weak man in the beginning.

But now, she saw the truth.

“Sophia, I know I messed up before. I’m trying to be better. Please trust me, I’ll treat you well. I’m serious. I want to marry you and make sure it’s done with respect.”

Michael looked confident as he raised his handsome face.

‘Did he really promise to marry her?’

Sophia was shocked. ‘What was he thinking? How could he marry someone who used to be his maid? Would his mother ever approve? After all these years, was he still trying to fool her with meaningless promises?’
