Sophia didn’t know Walter well, as she had no memory of him at all. However, the fact that he kept on quibbling

despite being reprimanded by the crowd was indication that he might be a somewhat shady character.

Besides, Sophia noticed that a savage look flashed across Walter’s face when he was riled up after being

reprimanded. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was at a disadvantage, he might very well have assaulted her on the

spot.

Heaving a sigh, Sophia figured that after spending all those years apart from one another, they never had much of

a relationship to begin with. If things went awry between them, Walter might very well assault her, which was a

cause for hesitation on Sophia’s part.

Meanwhile, John crouched down before her slowly. “Considering the circumstances, I will be worried if I leave you

here alone. Sophia, please come with me. Besides, we will also be able to find jobs for the villagers when we get

back. Whoever that wishes to come with us can come. I will take care of everything when we get there, so you have

nothing to worry about.”

Staring at him, Sophia pouted. He reached out to hold her hand. “Judging from what I saw earlier, I suppose the

future will be laden with trouble, so you shouldn’t stay here. The villagers won’t be able to defend you all the time.

Mr. Gwendolyn was obviously planning to do this for the long term, which will leave you in a vulnerable position.”

Sophia recognized what John told her to be true. No matter what he did, he was still legally her father, so the

villagers wouldn’t be able to do much to help if he were to bring it to court. Moreover, she was pregnant, so she

couldn’t possibly butt heads with him. Thus, it only took her a moment before coming to a decision. “Alright, we will

go back.”

Relief washed over John when he got her reply, because when he came after her, he wasn’t sure if he could

persuade her to return with him. If she were to insist on staying, he could only leave the village alone. He couldn’t

possibly extend his stay indefinitely, as his work in the company was piling up while he kept her company. The fact

that Walter came after her was in fact an encouraging factor for her to leave.

After that, John had Sophia get some rest before leaving the house. She lay down without question as she wasn’t

intending on asking about his plans. Aside from that, her stomach was making her feel somewhat uncomfortable,

so she tried to soothe herself by taking a few deep breaths. She also realized she was being inconsiderate to the

child she was carrying by travelling such a long distance in order to return to her village.

nor did she know when he came back. When she woke up, John was already cleaning up the house. As they might

not return for a long time, he packed everything that they didn’t need, which made the house seem more

organized. Sophia stood by the door while watching him pack. “Is everything settled?”

Turning around to look at her, he smiled. “It’s done. I’ve already settled everything regarding the road paving, as

well as finding out the people who would want to leave with us. Buddy is one of them, so he will help get the other

people. After I get the full name list, I will have Zack book their tickets.”

Since they were a large group of people with a lot of luggage in tow, they would be travelling by train. Meanwhile,

Sophia heaved a sigh of relief, as it would be better for her to take a train since she was pregnant. John worked

efficiently, and with everything soon settled, they began discussing the exact date when everybody would leave.

There would be around eight people coming with them, which shook up the village. A lot of people started coming

to Sophia’s house to inquire on the job scope. Not only were the men doing so, but even the women were

considering leaving the village to make themselves a living, as staying in such a remote village would amount to

nothing. However, Sophia couldn’t possibly bring everybody with her; she was but an ordinary human being.
