CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 053 GOODNIGHT

One joyous bubble after another burst forth from my heart, all popping with a bang, even the air was filled with sweetness.

"You actually bought all the things I picked out?" Sophie Wilson found Charles Seymour increasingly pleasing to the eye, how does this guy manage to be so... irresistibly charming?

Charles Seymour nodded matter-of-factly.

What’s unusual about that?

He purposely avoided the shopping lane, prioritizing her comfort for Lucy, not wasting time. Went back and bought the things she chose, this guy... truly knows how to touch one’s heart.

Watching the stars twinkling in Sophie Wilson’s eyes, Charles Seymour felt increasingly perplexed, she seemed delighted.

Happier than when he took her to see a movie and have a candlelight dinner... hmm, does she prefer snacks more?

Turns out, online dating tips aren’t always reliable.

While pondering, Charles Seymour glanced down and saw the bottled water in Sophie Wilson’s hand, his brow furrowed, he reached out and grabbed it: "Who told you to drink this?"

The reprimand was abruptly interrupted by a flood of dating advice, turning into—

"Drink warm water, don’t be greedy for the cold."

Sophie Wilson glanced at the bottled water in his hand and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Charles Seymour called the maid via intercom to bring warm water for Sophie Wilson to drink.

After watching Sophie Wilson drink a cup, Charles Seymour said, "This is for you."

Seeing the folder handed to her, Sophie Wilson accepted it with puzzlement, opened it, and after glancing at a few lines, her face changed dramatically.

Quickly flipping through, she painstakingly read it again from the start.

Charles Seymour sat on the chair, body tense, even more anxious than Sophie Wilson reviewing the materials.

Finally, after she finished reading and understood the contents, Sophie Wilson suddenly covered her forehead, letting out a low chuckle.

What is this reaction?

"She’s not my mom!" Sophie Wilson finally felt a sense of relief.

Lily Warren wasn’t her mother!

With this understanding, she finally grasped why Lily Warren treated her so poorly, she wasn’t actually a biological child, and that’s how it goes.

"She didn’t marry my dad?" Sophie Wilson was truly stunned by the bulk of information inside, "Grace Wilson is actually an illegitimate child?"

"Yes." Charles Seymour nodded, "Right now, it’s impossible to find out who your biological mother is."

Back then, Stephen Wilson was not originally from Imperial City, he only relocated there after becoming prosperous.

It’s easy to trace Stephen Wilson’s household registration in Imperial City, but the rest, one day is simply not enough.

"Investigating further will require more time." Charles Seymour said.

"Mm." Sophie Wilson nodded, looking at Charles Seymour, "Thank you."

Yesterday, after having a row with her family, she had vented for quite a while, and he silently went and investigated.

This intention, how could she not be moved?

Seeing Charles Seymour’s sudden poker face, Sophie Wilson barely restrained herself from laughing.

Doesn’t this guy always go poker-faced when faced with situations he can’t process?

He’s really... too adorable.

"It’s getting late, get some rest." Sophie Wilson said, then turned and headed out.

"Mm." Charles Seymour instinctively escorted her to the door, as Sophie Wilson suddenly spun around, startling him, before he could react, there was the soft touch on his lips followed by Sophie Wilson’s cheerful laugh, "Goodnight kiss, goodnight, Mr. Seymour."
