Chapter 1
The light from the crystal chandelier cast dappled shadows in the living room of the luxurious villa, and Sophie Lang’s fingers unconsciously rubbed the delicate embroidery on the arm of the sofa.
It was silk fabric imported from Italy, and the price of one sofa was worth a year’s salary.
Three years ago, she’d been a secretary at Alexander Whitmore’s side.
Now, she was sitting in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and was respectfully referred to by the servants as “Mrs. Young”.
“Mrs. Sophie!” Nora hurriedly pushed open the door with a joyful look on her face.
“It’s Young Master! Young Master Alex is back!”
“Alex is back?!”
“Yes, young master didn’t die at all, she was saved by a kind mother and daughter.”
The body that stood up due to the surprise fell down on the sofa with dull eyes, a stark contrast to the joy of the other servants.
“Ya, what’s wrong with Mrs. Sophie, is something wrong?” Nora’s face showed concern, a cup of warm water was brought in her hand and placed on the table.
“Nora, I’m fine, it’s just that you said it so suddenly I forgot to react, it was like a dream come true.” Sophie reacted, making her whole being look like she was floating like a dream to the others.
This was a nightmare!
Alexander Whitmore was back!!!
How could he come back, why didn’t he die in an airplane accident.
If he comes back I’ll be exposed, I’ve worked so hard to become the wife of a high class family that everyone envies.
Everyone would know that I wasn’t even his secret girlfriend, just a f**k buddy.
Alexander Whitmore, heir to the Whitmore family, is cold, ruthless and extremely vindictive. When she was Alex’s secretary, she’d seen his unsympathetic, ruthless and cunning side.
Now I was pregnant with my child when his plane crashed, and became the young wife of this old money family envied by everyone.
Sophie you can’t panic, now that it’s a given that he’s back, the thing to do is to ask for more useful information.
“Nora, is Alex really back?”
“Yes, Mrs. Sophie, the young master is back.”
“But why is it that after searching for Alex for three years, I’ve been looking forward to it for three years, why is it only coming back now?” Sophie acted as if she couldn’t believe that a beautiful dream had come true.
“Young master seems to have lost his memory, so he has been on the island for three years, but young master came back today, it’s not in vain that Mrs. Sophie is infatuated with young master.”
Nora thought to herself young master is back and the child is three years old, Mrs. Sophie is the most likely to get a license with young master, I still have a future after all if I follow young wife now.
“Alex is back with recovered memories now?” Sophie looks at Nora with an expectant look on her face, while inwardly praying that Alex has not recovered his memory.
“It is said that the young master lost his memory when he was saved by the mother and daughter on the island, and the young master has not regained his memory until now.”
Nora said before thinking again.
“Now even the master and madam don’t remember, they should be no memory for you as well.”
Sophie’s heart rejoices when she hears ‘young master seems to have lost his memory’, great!
As long as Alex never recovers his memory, I’ll still be Mrs.
Rich, and I can still get a license with him, so thinking about Alex coming back isn’t without its benefits.
But be prepared for the worst, transfer the property in hand to foreign countries as much as possible.
“It’s good to be back it’s good to be back. Prepare the car quickly, I want to see Alex as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Mrs. Sophie.”
---
In the main living room of the lavish estate, Alex’s mother, Catherine Whitmore, hugged Alex excitedly about the last three years and what he used to do.
“Alex.”
Sophie’s soft voice breaks the melodramatic scene in the living room.
Sophie trotted to Alex’s heel and looked fondly at the darkened but still handsome Alex.
“Alex you’re finally back, I’ve had such a torrid time these past three years.” Sophie presents the best angle of crying to Alex.
“You’re Sophie? my girlfriend?”
That’s what his parents, who had just recognized each other, told him.
Sophie had been determined to have his surviving child when she learned of his plane crash.
Sophie sunk her nails hard into the soft flesh of her palm, the pain causing her eyes to pool with tears wanting to fall.
“I’m your Sophie.” Her looked like she was trying to hold back her sobs, but the choking of her voice couldn’t be hidden.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she jogged over and jumped into the man’s arms, “Alex.”
The man stiffened, his hands not even knowing where to put them.
She choked back a sob and hooked her fingers around his, wrapping them tightly, “Everyone said you were dead, but I didn’t believe them.”
“I looked forward to you every day and gave you our baby, how could I leave us behind?”
“I knew you would come back.”
She cried with pear blossoms and rain, her slender shoulders trembled slightly.
Pei’s mother, who was sitting on the sidelines, lowered her head to wipe her tears, and Pei’s father’s eyes reddened as he sighed.
Alex’s body gradually slackened, only loosely encircling her. “I’m sorry, I have a head injury and I don’t remember a lot of things, but I’ll try to remember.”
Sophie’s eyes widened with his voice, “Alex, you don’t remember me?”
She froze in place, tears pooling under her eyes, the tip of her nose flushed just the right amount of red but refused to fall.
She’d practiced this trick a thousand times in the mirror.
She was the best at using this kind of pathetic expression to inspire a man’s protectiveness and guilt.
As expected, Alex sighed softly with his eyes downcast, “I’m sorry, I did lose my memory.”
Sophie looked pained but forced herself to be strong, “It’s okay, as long as you’re alive that’s enough.”
“Although you forgot about me and the baby, I’m sure you’ll remember in time.”
Heh, she couldn’t wait for Alex to never think about it for the rest of his life.
Alexcher stiffened and finally just responded dryly, “Uh-huh.”
After saying that, he smoothly pushed the woman in his arms away a bit.
Seeing the good in the world, Sophie quickly left his embrace and her gaze fell on the strange woman sitting on the couch.
“And this is?”
Mrs. Richard Whitmore immediately introduced, “Sophie, she is Alex’s savior, Lily Collins.”
Lily, as her name suggests, looked quiet and well-behaved, with a googly-egg face and nice features, only her skin was slightly tanned, probably from the sun.
She was dressed in a plain dress, sitting on the leather sofa, looking extraordinarily constricted and formal.
“Hi, I’m Lily.”
Without waiting for Sophie to speak, Alex had already stepped in front of Lily.
“It was Lily and her dad who saved me when I survived a fluke and my body was floating at sea.”
Sophie snorted inwardly at the man’s defensive stance. It looked like a new stumbling block had been added to her path to becoming a rich wife of a wealthy family.
