Sophie was curious, just as she was about to open the little cloth bag in her hand, Odie grabbed it quickly, saying, “I told you, wait until we get to Summerfield to open it.” Odie seemed pretty serious, so Sophie decided not to press the issue. “Alright, I’ll wait until we’re at Summerfield. Happy now?” she replied. “Yeah.” Sophie took the cloth bag Odie had given her and headed upstairs.
Packing for Summerfield was easy; she just needed to gather a few essentials. The thought of her last trip there with Colby made her shake her head, trying to push away the memories of him. But the harder she tried, the more she remembered how Colby used to handle everything. All she had to do was trust him, and she didn’t have to lift a finger.
By evening, Sophie had landed. At Summerfield Airport, someone from Kena’s team was already waiting to pick her up. Kena, looking stunning in a flowing purple dress, appeared even more elegant than before.
“Ms. Sophie, I’ve already sorted out your accommodation. The Gibbs family might not be as powerful as the Mintons, but the place is still pretty nice,” Kena said, inviting Sophie into the car.
Sophie replied, “I’ve talked it over with Odie, and I’ll be staying with the Minton family tonight.” Hearing this, Kena nodded, “That’s fine, but the Minton's place hasn’t been used or cleaned for a while. I’ll get someone to tidy it up so you can be comfortable.”
Sophie shook her head, “No need, it’s just one night. It won’t be too much trouble.” Seeing Sophie’s determination, Kena didn’t push the matter.
