Chapter 105
The Dawson family, once the leading family among the ten great families, was now the most established family in Habourland.
But it no longer had such unnecessary grandeur and formalities. Instead, the entire building had a sense of smart technology and technological sophistication.
However, the Nicholls family still retained these old formalities. Those who did not know better would think that the Nicholls family was more established than the Dawson family.
Roger smiled faintly and said, “It can’t be helped. Uncle Damian and Aunt Jasmine have always loved grandeur, so the Nicholls family has always kept these useless formalities.”
Sophie pursed her lips and said, “When I manage the household in the future, I will definitely get rid of these useless formalities first.”
Roger could not help but lift his eyebrows. “You’re quite ambitious, but don’t let Jasmine hear that,” he said. “Otherwise, she’ll cause trouble again.”
With Sophie away for the past few days, Jasmine and Rebecca had been well–behaved for a few days. There was less disturbance for Roger.
He did not want them to cause trouble again.
Sophie snorted and said, “Causing trouble? Who doesn’t know how to do that? I’m not afraid.”
With that said, the two of them walked into the hall of the Nicholls family’s home.
Norman knew that Sophie was coming back today, so he specially asked everyone to wait in the hall.
Damian, Humphrey, and Thomas were not at home. Other than them, all the female members of the family and Ronald, who had previously said that he would leave home, surprisingly gathered together.
Seeing the two of them
sit here.”
them enter, Norman immediately smiled at Sophie and said, “Sophie! You’re back. Quick. Come over and
Seeing Norman actually saving the seats usually occupied by Damian for Sophie and Roger, Jasmine and Rebecca’s expressions turned somewhat sour at the same time.
They thought, ‘This girl, Sophie, has truly risen in status. Even Roger’s status has elevated along with hers.”
Sophie smiled and sat down beside Norman..
As Norman saw Roger and Sophie sitting together, he grinned from ear to ear.
He had initially thought that after the Dawson family brought Sophie back to the Dawson family’s home, they might consider annulling the marriage. However, to his surprise, Sophie did not annul the marriage. She had even planned the wedding. This was a fortunate event for the Nicholls family…
Chapter 105
“Sophie, are you used to living at the Dawson family’s home these few days after returning there?” Norman said. “If you’re not used to that, you can move back to the Nicholls family’s home at any time.” Norman was quite confident in the living arrangements at the Nicholls family’s home. He always felt that the Nicholls family’s home was definitely more comfortable than the Dawson family’s home.
Sophie chose not to refute him. She smiled faintly and said, “It’s pretty good. I was separated from my parents for so many years. I still want to reunite with them for a while before I get married.”
She thought. The duration to live together legitimately with my parents is only half a month, which is actually quite short.
Norman said, “That’s right. That’s right. Your parents must miss you very much.” Norman was also very understanding. Then, he said, “You have got to stay for a meal now that you return today. I’ve asked Jasmine to prepare a lot of delicious
food.”
Sophie thought, ‘What delicious food can Jasmine prepare? If she’s the one preparing, it must be something I don’t like to
eat.
However, Sophie did not express her thoughts about Jasmine’s cooking. She merely smiled calmly and said, “Okay.”
Then, she looked at Daisy and said, “Daisy, how was your health these past few days?”
Her purpose in coming back is to check on Daisy. Other than Norman, Daisy was the only person she cared about.
“I’ve been much better these few days,” Daisy said. “My cough has also eased a lot.” The medicine Sophie gave her was very effective. Indeed, her body was getting stronger.
Sophie guessed that the toxins were discharged faster than she had expected.
“I’m at ease then,” Sophie said with relief.
Seeing that Sophie had no intention of greeting her, Jasmine could not help but say, “Sophie, you were away for so many days. You don’t want to greet all the elders present, huh? Are you this rude as well in the Dawson family’s home?”
Jasmine started picking faults right away. Norman became a little displeased. “What nonsense are you talking about again?” he said.
Jasmine pursed her lips and said, “Which part of what I said is nonsense? I’m doing this for her own good. I’m teaching he to be more polite. She acts like this in the Nicholls family’s home, but we can just let that slide. If she acts like this in the Dawson family’s home, won’t her parents despise her?”
Sophie snorted and said indifferently, “Jasmine, would you hate Thomas?”
Jasmine was stunned. She immediately replied, “There’s no way I would hate Thomas. He is my pride, and he is the apple of my eye!*
Sophie nodded playfully and said, “That’s right then. No parents will hate their children. Besides, I am their daughter who was separated from them for many years. They can’t wait to dote on me. As for being polite… I’m polite to people who are polite toward me. For those who are critical and fault–finding with me, there’s no way I would be polite toward them. I’m already considered pretty good for not scolding them.”
Chapter 105
Sophie looked at Jasmine and stared at her directly, hinting without any attempt to conceal that she was the critical and fault–finding person and that not scolding her was already showing considerable restraint.
Jasmine’s expression suddenly turned very unpleasant, but she could only say, “You’re the daughter–in–law of the Nicholls family now Every move you make represents the Nicholls family. If you behave like a shrew, you will only disgrace the entire Nicholls family!”
At this moment, Sophie suddenly widened her eyes and said, “Oh my god! Jasmine, you actually understand this principle, huh? Why are you still shouting in this house every day then, often acting like a shrew? You’ve long disgraced members of the Nicholls family”
Unable to gain the upper hand in the argument, Jasmine was completely enraged. “Sophie, who are you calling a shrew?” she said.
“Enough talk!” Norman said. Seeing that Jasmine was about to argue with Sophie again after a short exchange, Norman lost his patience. “Sophie is right! Look at you. Always shouting! If you’re not a shrew, then who is? Go upstairs! Don’t continue to embarrass yourself here!”
Norman cared a lot about his reputation. He would ask anyone that embarrassed him to leave.
Jasmine did not expect that within less than five minutes of Sophie’s return, Sophie would cause her to lose face. She
hated Sophie even more.
Jasmine said, “Little girl, you’ll face the consequences…” Jasmine glared at Sophie. She could only leave under Norman’s threatening gaze.
Sophie snorted coldly. She could not be bothered to pay her any attention at all.
After seeing her leave, Norman took a deep breath and said to Sophie, “Sophie, Jasmine is always like this. She is always unreasonable. You don’t have to pay attention to her.”
Sophie nodded and said. “Don’t worry, Norman. I won’t let people who aren’t worth it to occupy my thoughts.”
Looking at Sophie being so magnanimous, Norman’s face was filled with gratification.
Rebecca watched this scene from the side, feeling an indescribable sense of discomfort.
She thought, “I was still hoping that Jasmine would stand up for me, but I didn’t expect her to end up in such a difficult state, defeated after just a few words!
However, Norman strongly defended Sophie now, so she could not say much. She could only stand up and say, “Norman, Jasmine is angry, and she went upstairs. Let me handle the things in the kitchen.”
Norman nodded and said, “That’s very thoughtful of you. Go ahead then.”
“It’s only right,” Rebecca said. “After all, Sophie hasn’t been back for many days. I’ll definitely get the people in the kitchen t prepare more of her favorite food.”
Rebecca smiled kindly, but no matter how Sophie looked at her, she felt a sense of cunning.

Ronald, who was at the side, was puzzled. “Mom, don’t forget about me,” he said. “I endured hardships outside for a few days. I want to eat something good too…”
