Aaron rolled up the window as he spoke, causing Annie to blush inexplicably.


    “Why are you nervous?* she asked him with a frown.


    Aaron came closer and asked, “Well, aren’t you? After all, we’re getting married tomorrow.”


    Annie’s expression froze before a small smile broke through. “I’m actually not that nervous.”


    She was not nervous as she did not believe Aaron would go through with the marriage. She was sure


    he was just flirting with her.


    Aaron pretended to be disappointed. “Sigh, it seems I’m the only one who’s nervous. You don’t care


    about our marriage at all!”


    Annie could not bear to be with him like that, so she said, “It’s gettingte.


    Please, kindly send me how now.” 2 Aaron sighed. As helpless as he felt at that moment, he knew he


    deserved it for treating Annie badly in the past.


    Two dayster, at New Capital City Airport, Sophia came to pick up her father alone, leaving Jeremy


    and Bryan to wait at home.


    Sophia instinctively red at Melinda when she saw hering out with Adam before running toward


    her father and hugging him.

    “Dad, you’re finally here! You have no idea how hard the things you asked me to deal with have been


    lately. I’m about this close to going crazy!” said Sophia.


    Adam hugged his eldest daughter and stroked her head lovingly. “Don’t worry, I’m here now. No one


    will dare to cause you trouble anymore!” “You’re the best, Dad!” said Sophia as she snuggled into her


    father’s arms, and relief washed over her. She knew her father always made good on his promise.


    “Sophia, you haven’t greeted Melinda yet. Where are your manners?” Adam reminded his daughter.


    Sophia, who just felt the warmth of her father’s love, paused at her father’s admonishment.


    Nheless, she quickly put on a superficial smile as she turned to Melinda.


    “Hello, Melinda. It’s been a while. You’ve be even more beautiful than thest time I saw you. In


    fact, you haven’t aged at all. Seems like my father takes good care of you!”


    Melinda smiled back. Although she could hear the sarcasm in Sophia’s voice, she decided to let it slide.


    She cared for her stepdaughter sincerely, so she said, “Sophia, you have lost weight. Is it because


    you’ve been so busy dealing with your father’s affairs recently that you haven’t been eating well?”


    At that point, she turned her head and scolded Adam softly, “It’s all because of you. You shouldn’t have


    let here here all alone to do so many things. Look at how thin she is!”


    Adam smiled at her and said nothing. He simply epted her admonishment humbly.


    However, Sophia did not appreciate this. She just smiled politely and said,”


    Thank you for caring about me, Melinda, but it’s my duty to help my father. After all, I’ll eventually take


    over the business. He’s just toughening me up, which I’m very grateful for.”


    She was indirectly warning Melinda to give up any thought of taking the business for herself by


    emphasizing that she alone was Adam’s heir.


    Melinda simply nodded and said, “Well, as long as you’re grateful for the opportunity.”


    Sophia was too paranoid in this matter. Melinda did not care about Adam’s business or his assets, nor


    did her daughter Lilin. She would not even interfere with Adam’s decision to distribute his assets in the


    future.
