Chapter 3 Don’t Be So Delicate
In the afternoon, Sofia returned to the Schneider family. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Kassidy Schneider sitting on the sofa, flipping through a picture book and doodling on it.
Seeing Sofia come in, Kassidy lifted her eyelids and said with a hint of schadenfreude, “I heard you went to the Hart family. So, how did they treat you?”
Although Kassidy was curious to see drama unfold, she still put on a polite front.
Sofia looked at her and replied calmly, “They treated me quite well.”
At least, Grandpa Hart was kind to her.
Kassidy observed Sofia’s expression, noticing she wasn’t gloating then relieved.
She set the picture book aside and said, “Sofia, marrying into the Hart family is not a loss for you. You’ll have a lot of freedom to do as you please.”
Sofia stayed silent. She had long been accustomed to Kassidy’s words and didn’t care at all.
She simply waited quietly for Kassidy to continue. Normally, Kassidy wouldn’t bother talking so much to her, so there had to be another reason today.
Sure enough, Kassidy got impatient with small talk and went straight to the point.

“Now that you’re married into the Hart family, we’re all family. You know Mystic Entertainment Inc., managed by Nathaniel Hart’s brother Curtis Hart. They’re preparing to film a movie, and there’s a role that would be perfect for me, Sofia. You must talk to Curtis and get him to give me that role.”
Sofia furrowed her brow slightly, shocked by Kassidy’s shameless words.
She pursed her lips and after a moment replied, “Kassidy, I’ve only met Older Mr. Hart and Young Master Nathaniel so far. I can’t guarantee I’ll even get to see this Curtis you’re talking about.”
Even if she did meet him, she doubted she could influence his decisions.
Hearing Sofia’s refusal, Kassidy immediately got angry.
“What are you saying? You haven’t even married in yet, remember, I’m your elder sister. The Schneider family raised you, and now you’re refusing to do such a small favor? Think about the consequences!!!”
She stood up from the sofa, dropping her gentle facade.
“I’m telling you, Sofia Schneider, you must make this happen! If you can’t see Curtis, then go talk to Older Mr. Hart. I don’t believe Curtis. would defy his orders,” Kassidy said sternly before turning and heading upstairs..
Sofia frowned, feeling helpless towards her always arrogant sister.
After lingering in the living room for a while, Sofia returned to her
room.
She unpacked a worn suitcase, putting away her few belongings, and left the Schneider family.

She hadn’t planned to move into the Hart family so soon, but her curiosity about the instruments in Nathaniel’s room made her eager to explore.
However, knowing Nathaniel didn’t like her, Sofia was cautious, so she waited until well past midnight before sneaking into Nathaniel’s room.
She made no sound, even taking off her shoes to avoid waking him up.
Sofia’s eyes lingered on Nathaniel’s face for a while to make sure he was asleep before approaching one of the instruments.
Though the room was pitch dark, it didn’t hinder her movements.
This was her hidden talent. In the dark, her vision was unaffected, and she could even read and write without any problem.
Moreover, she also didn’t need much sleep each day, usually recovering her strength after just an hour or two. She kept these differences hidden to survive better in the Schneider family.
Now, Sofia moved quietly through Nathaniel’s room as if under the light.
She didn’t touch any of the instruments, only carefully observing each one to note its functions and settings.
Sofia didn’t stay in the room for too long.
After all, it was her first time sneaking into Nathaniel’s room, and she was very cautious, afraid of waking him.
Fortunately, after observing all the instruments, she looked back at Nathaniel and found him still sleeping peacefully, which relieved her.

Sofia hesitated but finally approached the bed to check on Nathaniel.
His complexion was pale, clearly showing signs of illness. For a high–level spinal cord injury patient lying in bed for so long, he should have been much thinner.
But Nathaniel’s physique appeared robust.
Sofia didn’t doubt that; Older Mr. Hart had spent a lot to maintain his
nutrition.
She couldn’t help but think of the elderly man, still worrying about his grandson at this age.
With a soft sigh, Sofia muttered under her breath, “Don’t be so delicate, or Grandpa will be sad.”
If her own grandfather cared for her even a fraction as much as Older Mr. Hart did for Nathaniel, she wouldn’t have the heart to make him sad.
After leaving Nathaniel’s room in the dark, where Nathaniel should have been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze scanned the room coldly, but he couldn’t find anything unusual in the darkness.
In fact, Nathaniel had been awake since Sofia entered.
He could have spoken up to scare her off, but he didn’t.
He wanted to see what Sofia intended to do.
This woman, whom his grandfather had found to be his wife, was willing to stay in the Hart family even as a servant. What was her

purpose?
Nathaniel instinctively saw Sofia as someone who might harm him.
He even thought for a moment that if Sofia had tried to kill him, it wouldn’t be so bad. Death would end it all.
But after waiting for a long time, Sofia did nothing. She only approached him to tell him not to be so delicate.
Nathaniel squinted, unable to understand this woman.

In his earpiece, his assistant Kyler Johnston’s voice came through, “Sir, should we go get her?”
“No need, just keep an eye on her,” Nathaniel said.
