Chapter 5 Get the Chance to Take Advantage of Her
Older Mr. Hart knew it was impossible for his grandson Nathaniel to readily accept Sofia.
The best they could do now was to encourage Sofia to spend more time with Nathaniel.
Perhaps then Nathaniel would recognize Sofia’s kindness and regain enthusiasm for life, actively cooperating with his treatment.
Maybe he could even see his great–grandchildren one day.
Just thinking about it made Older Mr. Hart visibly excited.
Sofia looked at Older Mr. Hart’s bright and knowing eyes, feeling bewildered.
She couldn’t imagine that Older Mr. Hart had already planned out the names for Nathaniel’s future children.
“Grandfather, I’ll go put my things away first and then go see him,” Sofia said.
“Sure, I’ll wait here for you, and we’ll go together,” Older Mr. Hart said cheerfully, refocusing.
Sofia hurried back to her room, hid her things, and took out clothes and shoes she used as a disguise, then quickly returned.
Older Mr. Hart led Sofia toward Nathaniel’s room, unable to resist saying to Sofia, “Sofia, Nathaniel has been ill for a long time and isn’t in a good mood. He was cold to you yesterday, and I apologize for him.

Please, I beg you, no matter how he treats you today, don’t get angry, alright?”
“Don’t worry, Grandfather. I won’t,” Sofia assured him.
Living with the Schneider family until now, she had long since.
developed a calm demeanor, able to face anything without emotional fluctuations.
Moreover, as a doctor, she could understand the psychology of patients better, so she wouldn’t hold it against Nathaniel.
Hearing Sofia’s reassurance, Older Mr. Hart felt relieved.
“You’re a good girl, Sofia. I like you a lot and am very grateful to you. I’ll have a good talk with Nathaniel to make sure he treats you well,” Older Mr. Hart said warmly.
Sofia responded and then, thinking of something, called out to Older Mr. Hart, “Grandfather.”
She hesitated, a troubled expression crossing her face.
“What’s wrong?” Older Mr. Hart was puzzled. It was the first time Sofia had looked like this.
“You can tell me anything, Sofia. Grandfather will stand by your side,” he encouraged.
Sofia’s heart warmed at his words, feeling a surge of warmth throughout her body.
It was the first time she had heard a family member say something like this.

She bit her lip and finally spoke up. “Grandfather, I don’t know why the Schneider and Hart families arranged this marriage. Now that I’ve married into the Hart family, I hope you can promise me one thing.”
“Go ahead,” Older Mr. Hart said.
“Grandfather, I hope that no matter what requests the Schneider family makes of the Hart family, you won’t agree to them,” Sofia looked directly at Older Mr. Hart, her gaze firm and resolute.
“I don’t want the Hart family to be entangled with those unethical people.”
Older Mr. Hart remained silent for a long time, not rushing to reply to Sofia.
After saying this, Sofia didn’t explain her reasons.
It wasn’t until much later that Older Mr. Hart said, “Sofia, thank you for treating me as family.”
Sofia’s eyes moistened, finally releasing the tension in her heart.
No more needed to be said. The meaning was already clear.
Older Mr. Hart had agreed to her request.
“Thank you, Grandfather,” Sofia said softly.
Her lips curled slightly with a faint smile and her eyes clear and pure.
Older Mr. Hart sighed silently.

Inside the room, although Nathaniel couldn’t see them, he heard every word of Older Mr. Hart and Sofia’s conversation through his earpiece.
His eyes grew deeper and more mysterious, and no one could tell what he was thinking.Even Kyler, who was hiding in the shadows, didn’t dare to make a sound.
He was puzzled as to why Miss Schneider would be so ruthless, cutting off the Schneider family’s path just on the second day of her marriage. into the Hart family.
However, he understood the temperament of the Schneider family members. Describing them as unethical wasn’t an exaggeration when it came to Sofia.
Thinking this way, he realized Sofia was indeed considering the Hart family’s well–being.
But Kyler didn’t understand why Sofia would do this.
He wasn’t stupid enough to think that Sofia was interested in his boss.
The moment Older Mr. Hart led Sofia into the room, Sofia felt a sharp gaze on her.
Unlike yesterday’s cold eyes, today’s gaze was filled with intense scrutiny and inquiry.
For a moment, Sofia felt her heart skip a beat, a guilty feeling creeping over her as if caught red–handed.
Fortunately, Nathaniel quickly looked away, turning to Older Mr. Hart and asking, “Grandfather, is there something else?”

“Sofia just got off work, so I thought I’d bring her to see you. I don’t want you to take advantage of her while I’m away,” Older Mr. Hart said.
Nathaniel scoffed lightly, not revealing that Sofia had spent the whole afternoon shopping and enjoying herself before returning.
He simply said to Older Mr. Hart, “Grandfather, you better keep an eye on her. It’s best if you accompany her every time. Otherwise, I can always get the chance to take advantage of her.”
Sofia’s heart skipped a beat, her gaze turning towards Nathaniel.
That guilty feeling returned.
Did he mean that he should keep an eye on her at night, or else, he couldn’t guarantee what he would do?
Coincidentally, Nathaniel was looking at her, and when their eyes met, Sofia clearly saw a hint of mockery in Nathaniel’s eyes.
She tightened her lips and silently moved behind Older Mr. Hart to block herself from Nathaniel’s view.
Older Mr. Hart pretended to glare at Nathaniel with a little anger. “What nonsense are you talking about? A wife is to be cherished, not bullied.”
Nathaniel didn’t respond, but he couldn’t help thinking of different ways to “have fun with” her.
Nathaniel remained silent, his eyes suddenly chilling.
Damn, what was he thinking?
Older Mr. Hart saw Nathaniel ignore him, and he didn’t continue on

that topic. Instead, he found a way to keep Sofia’s presence in front of Nathaniel.
He stubbornly had Sofia stay in Nathaniel’s room for half an hour.
Until Nathaniel yawned and told them, “Grandfather, I’m tired and want to sleep.”
Older Mr. Hart kindly told Nathaniel to rest well and led Sofia away.
Once they were out of the room, Older Mr. Hart said, “Sofia, we’ve made progress today. From now on, I will accompany you to talk with Nathaniel every day, so he can get used to you sooner.”
