Chapter 28 Cannot Betray Her
Sofia didn’t expect Nathaniel to be so sharp.
She scooped another spoonful of soup and brought it to Nathaniel’s mouth, saying, “Tasty, right? My cooking’s pretty good.”
But this time, Nathaniel kept his lips shut tight, looking at Sofia with suspicion.
“What’s up? Afraid I poisoned it?” Sofia frowned, clearly annoyed by Nathaniel’s lack of cooperation.
Nathaniel said, “Honestly, yeah, I’m worried you’ve got some other plans.”
Sofia’s eyes flickered slightly.
If it weren’t for the chance someone might walk in, she might’ve forced Nathaniel’s mouth open and poured the whole pot of soun down his throat.
Chapter unlocked!
She said, “You don’t need to worry. Even if I’m up to something with you, I’m not with. Grandpa. He’s drinking it right now, so relax.”
Nathaniel noticed the fleeting emotion in Sofia’s eyes.
He narrowed his eyes, becoming more certain that she had messed with the soup.
Oddly enough, he wasn’t repulsed by this.
In fact, he was intrigued, eager to see what this seemingly gentle, obedient girl was up to.
He wanted to see how far she’d go..
So, just as Sofia glared at him, Nathaniel opened his mouth and drank the spoonful of
soup.
Sofia was momentarily stunned, not expecting Nathaniel to cooperate so easily.
She stared at him for a while, and seeing that he wasn’t about to say anything, she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”

She implied that even if she had tampered with the soup, it was for his good.
Therefore, he didn’t need to worry.
Nathaniel remained silent, quietly and obediently eating the food Sofia fed him.
Sofia had calculated the amount of food Nathaniel should eat and brought it over.
Initially, she thought she’d have to use some tricks to force Nathaniel to cooperate and eat. everything.
But she didn’t expect Nathaniel to be so compliant.
After feeding the last bite into Nathaniel’s mouth and putting down the fork, Sofia gave him a thumbs up. “Great job!”
Nathaniel’s face instantly filled with helplessness.
This woman might have something wrong with her.
Was she treating him like a child?
Sofia didn’t care that Nathaniel’s face was already quite displeased.
Without thinking, she said to Nathaniel. “You should be more sensible. From now on, eat properly like you did today, so Grandpa doesn’t have to worry about you.

Although she hadn’t been with the Hart family for long, she could see clearly how much Older Mr. Hart had sacrificed for Nathaniel.
Hearing this, Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.
His gaze lingered on Sofia’s face for a long while before he said. “You really care about Grandpa.”
According to the information he had, Sofia had never met Grandpa before entering the Hart family, let alone had any connection with him.
How could these two care so much about each other? It made him feel like he was the outsider among the three of them.

Hearing this, Sofia lowered her eyelashes, not looking at Nathaniel.
She said, “Grandpa treats me well, and I cherish the feeling of having a family.”
This was the first time Sofia had said something like this in front of Nathaniel.

It was also the first time she showed a sense of longing for family and affection in front of
anyone.
Nathaniel’s eyes deepened as he clearly saw Sofia’s expression.
He knew very well that the Schneider family didn’t treat her well.
That’s why she cherished even the slightest kindness from Grandpa so much.
Nathaniel felt an inexplicable pang of bitterness in his heart, a feeling he had never experienced before filling his chest..
He didn’t even notice that he was looking at Sofia with a deep sense of pity.
When Sofia looked up, she met Nathaniel’s gaze.
She was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, “I’ll take these back and come back. to give you a massage.”
Nathaniel didn’t respond, his gaze still fixed on Sofia’s face.
Sofia felt a bit uneasy under his stare, quickly grabbed the tray, and left Nathaniel’s room.
Coincidentally, Older Mr. Hart had also finished his dinner.
Seeing her coming with all the empty dishes, Older Mr. Hart’s mood improved even more.
“Sofia, you really have a way with Nathaniel. He hasn’t eaten this well in a long time,” Older Mr. Hart said.
Sofia replied, “Grandpa, don’t worry. Mr. Hart will eat well from now on.”
Although Nathaniel hadn’t promised her anything, Sofia could feel that Nathaniel cared
about Older Mr. Hart too.
So, to make Older Mr. Hart happy, he would eat properly in the future.

Sotto was sure of this.
Older Mr. Hart, hearing this, became even happier.
He quickly said, “Sofia, thank you. You’re a blessing to our family.”
Sofia smiled shyly and didn’t say anything more.
Older Mr. Hart continued, “Now, go have your dinner. I’ll check on Nathaniel.”
“Okay, Grandpa,” Sofia replied and walked toward the dining room.
Older Mr. Hart entered Nathaniel’s room and immediately noticed that Nathaniel’s complexion looked particularly good.
“Nathaniel, how was the soup tonight? Wasn’t it delicious?” Older Mr. Hart asked.
Nathaniel turned to look at Older Mr. Hart and smiled, “Grandpa, you really like Sofia.”
“She’s a good girl, kind and virtuous. Of course, I’m satisfied with her,” Older Mr. Hart said.
“Grandpa, have you already chosen her?” Nathaniel asked, not as a question but as a
statement.
He had learned later that Older Mr. Hart had secretly contacted various families, asking if they were willing to marry their daughters into the Hart family to be his wife.
Although Nathaniel didn’t know every well–known family lady, before his accident, many families had tried various means to have their daughters present themselves to him, hoping he would fancy someone.
However, Nathaniel had no interest in such matters and found dealing with these family ladies very annoying.
He had Kyler handle those girls.
For those who didn’t know their limits and insisted on bothering him, he would teach their parents a lesson without hesitation.
So, Nathaniel had a list in his mind of the types of women Grandpa might contact.
But Sofia was not supposed to be on that list at all.

Even if Grandpa chose someone from the Schneider family, it shouldn’t have been Sofia.
Although it could be explained that the Schneider family didn’t want to send their other daughters to marry a paralyzed man, essentially living as a widow.
But if Grandpa wanted it, there were always ways to make them comply.
So, Grandpa’s choice of Sofia was very strange
He said, “Grandpa, tell me, what is it about Sofia that made you choose her?”
Older Mr. Hart knew Nathaniel’s nature well.
Once he wanted to know something, he would get to the bottom of it.
And
any attempt to deceive him with lies would be in vain.
He glanced at Nathaniel, finally sighed, and said, “Nathaniel, Grandpa doesn’t want to tell you and can’t tell you. Just know this: Sofia is really good. You can’t bully her or let her down.”
Nathaniel’s eyes remained steady, as if he had expected Older Mr. Hart to say this and he didn’t react too much.
He was just puzzled why Grandpa was so tight–lipped about this matter.
This only made him more curious about Sofia, increasing his disguise and see what was inside.
e to tear away her
Sofia, you’ve successfully piqued my interest, he thought.
She even ignited a hope in him to strive to live.
Until he can understand Sofia, he won’t have any more thoughts of ending his life.
