Chapter 52
Unexpectedly, she was Dolores. No wonder she was so excited watching Sophie teach those wealthy young ladies who liked to bully others a lesson.
“You know me? Not bad.” Feeling somewhat shocked that Sophie knew her, Dolores approached Sophie curiously.
Normally, other wealthy young ladies would have fled when they found out about her.
identity.
But Sophie wasn’t afraid of her.
“You’re quite famous in the socialite circle. Of course, I know you,” Sophie replied calmly as she looked at Dolores with a friendly smile.
Dolores was rather surprised. “Famous for being hot–tempered, right? Aren’t you afraid of
me?”
Sophie chuckled slightly and said, “I’m not a good–tempered person either. As you said, we
can indeed be friends.”
At the very least, Dolores was genuine. Sophie thought she was much better than those. fake upper–class ladies who liked to put on air.
“Awesome, let’s have a drink then,” suggested Dolores.
As she spoke, she called the waiter over and handed two glasses of wine to Sophie.
Sophie was indeed a little thirsty. After clinking glasses with Dolores, he took a few sips of
the wine.
Dolores took an instant liking to Sophie and couldn’t resist engaging in a conversation with
her for a while.
Surprisingly, Roger came out to find them.
When Sophie saw the butler bringing Roger over, she quickly stood up and asked, “Are you here for me? What’s it about?”
Roger said, “It’s about time. We can leave now.”
Having finished the meal, they were not required to socialize with others. Therefore, it was

better for them to leave early.
“Alright.” Sophie breathed a sigh of relief because she also wanted to leave the noisy place as soon as possible.
She turned around and said with a smile, “I just added you on WhatsApp. Let’s meet again
another day.”
“Sure!” Dolores gave Sophie a wide grin and her gaze involuntarily fell on Roger as she commented, “Your husband is so handsome.”
After speaking, she left with a cheerful smile.
The corners of Roger’s mouth curled up slightly. He said to Sophie, “Not bad. You’ve got acquainted with the lady from the Murphy family.”
Sophie was slightly surprised. “How come you know?”
She couldn’t believe Roger could tell that it was Dolores simply from a remark she had
made.
“Other than her, which other upper–class lady has the guts to tease me?” said Roger.
“That’s true.” Sophie nodded awkwardly.
The night breeze suddenly blew by, and the balcony felt a little cold.
Adding to the fact that Sophie had exerted all her strength in the earlier fight just now, she felt a little weak.
Just as she was about to escape from the balcony, a suit suddenly landed on her.
“You’re cold, aren’t you?” came Roger’s low voice.
Sophie was stunned, thinking, ‘He actually draped the suit over me accurately at the perfect timing?”
However, when she looked up and saw his eyes that were as deep as an ancient well, she knew that he could not see at all.
‘What is wrong with me recently? Always suspecting that he could see. Or perhaps, I hope that he could see?”

Sophie shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She smiled and said, “Thank you. It’s
very warm.”
Roger nodded. “That’s good. Let’s go back.”
“Alright.” Sophie nodded and allowed Roger to hold her waist. Together, they walked out of
the hall.
Outside the door, Dillon had already driven the car over.
When he saw the two of them come out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the
door for them.
After both got into the car, Dillon drove away.
In the car, Sophie had a lot on her mind and didn’t feel like talking.
She was thinking about the people from the Dawson and the Bourn families.
She knew Laura and Russell would not let her off after she taught them a lesson.
But she didn’t have the time to care about what the Bourn family was thinking.
She was worried about how the Dawson family people would perceive her.
The result of the paternity test had been released, but the Dawson family still found it difficult to accept.
If the results of the second paternity test were also confirmed, Sophie was not sure if they would accept her and let her go home.
When thinking of the loving gaze they cast at Evelyn, she felt indescribably upset.
‘Would they… not want me?‘
Sophie’s thoughts drifted further and further away. The more she thought, the more. uneasy she became.
“What are you thinking about?” Roger’s husky voice suddenly whispered in her ear.
Sophie immediately snapped out of her thoughts and replied, “No, nothing.”
However, Roger still reached over and held her cold and delicate hand.

“Why is your hand so cold?” He frowned, his voice tinged with concern.

Sophie quickly thought of an excuse and said helplessly, “Your clothes kept me warm enough… It’s just because… I’m a bit nervous.”
“Nervous? What’s there to be nervous about going home?” Roger asked with a frown.
Looking at his concerned expression, Sophie had no choice but to tell the truth in a low voice. “I’m nervous about the results of the paternity test… and worried that, after the results are out… they may not want me…”
She had prepared to present herself to her family in the best possible way,
However, she was already the daughter–in–law of the Nicholls family.
Compared to Evelyn, her situation was much more complicated.
Seeing how worried she was, Roger smiled helplessly. “No, you are the daughter–in–law of the Nicholls family. They won’t treat you badly. With me supporting you, they dare not upset you. I won’t allow it.”
The corner of Sophie’s mouth twitched a little, “Is this considered a form of consolation?”
Roger’s thinking was different from others.
However, she inexplicably felt a little better.
Despite her concerns about having married into the Nicholls family who had a complex background, being part of the Nicholls family is also an advantage for her.
If the results were out, they would not sit back and do nothing.
“You’re right. Even Grandpa has my back. I should be more confident,” said Sophie.
After all, Norman had spoken today. the Dawson family would not treat her unfairly.
“So, don’t dwell on it anymore.” He spoke slowly and suddenly changed the topic. “Today is the first time you’ve been out in so many days. Is there anywhere you want to go?”
His gentle words were like a spring breeze, instantly warming Sophie’s heart.
Indeed, since she was paralyzed, she had never left the Bourn family. When she went out occasionally, it was the servants who pushed her out. She had forgotten how long it had

been since she came out on her own.
The beach amusement park she used to go to suddenly sprang to her mind.
“Yes, I want to go to a place. Turn right ahead.” The park was not far from the road. Sophie reckoned it was good to see the night view.
Roger smiled. “Okay.”
Following Sophie’s instruction, Dillon immediately turned right and drove to the seaside.
Soon, they arrived at the beach amusement park.
Even though it was already nighttime, the night scene at the amusement park was still bustling.
All the entertainment facilities were lit up, and many young couples were there to enjoy
themselves.
Suddenly, the Ferris wheel caught Sophie’s eyes.
“Wow… There are so many colorful lights on this Ferris wheel.” Sophie said with
amazement.
She had been here once a few years ago. A few years ago, when she came, the Ferris wheel was decorated only by white lights, and now it has become dazzlingly colorful. She had really not been to the place for many years.
“Do you want to ride it?” Roger asked in a low voice.
Sophie nodded subconsciously. “Sure, consider it as a reward for me standing up again.
