The content of the free Chapter 5 is as follows:
On a leisurely day off, Sophia had planned to enjoy a relaxing time with her friends. However, due to her father forgetting an important file, she had to go to Carter Enterprises. In the company, she happened to meet the lovely little boy, Ethan, who ran away alone after being scolded by his father. Sophia gently comforted Ethan, showing her kind and loving side. This scene was seen by Ethan's grandfather, Joseph Carter, who was deeply impressed by Sophia's attentiveness and kindness.
When Nicholas appeared, he sternly asked Ethan why he ran away. Ethan cried out of fear. Sophia stepped forward and softly persuaded Ethan. To everyone's surprise, Ethan took the initiative to hug her. This shocked Nicholas because Ethan was usually quite guarded against strangers. Nicholas noticed Sophia up - close for the first time. Her brown wavy long hair, charming grey eyes, and elegant temperament left a deep impression on him.
Joseph took a fancy to Sophia's kindness and innocence. He believed that she was the one who could bring warmth to Ethan and happiness to his son. So he proposed the idea of a marriage alliance to Sophia's father. Her father informed Sophia of this matter. Although her parents were full of anticipation, they also respected her decision. Sophia fell into deep thought. She had never experienced a profound love affair and didn't have many ideas about marriage. However, seeing her parents' eager expectations and having a not - bad first - impression of Nicholas, she decided to give this marriage a chance.
At the same time, when Nicholas learned about the marriage arranged by his father, he was full of resistance. He had been hurt in love before and was skeptical about marriage. He thought that Sophia might just be coveting his wealth. But under his father's insistence, he reluctantly accepted it and even decided to let Sophia know in this marriage that her "schemes" would not succeed.
At the Carter family's dinner party, Ethan was very excited to see Sophia. When he learned that she was going to marry his father, he was overjoyed, which made the atmosphere warm. At the end of the dinner, the parents of both sides decided that the wedding would be held next week. Nicholas's mother gave him the ring, and the engagement between Sophia and Nicholas was thus settled.
Sophia told her close friends, Charlotte and Ryan, the news of her engagement. They were initially shocked. After learning the ins and outs of the matter, although they were worried, they also hoped that Sophia could find happiness. The three of them went to choose a dress for the engagement party together. Charlotte carefully created a makeup look and hairstyle for Sophia, making her shine at the engagement party.
At the engagement party, Sophia and Nicholas met again. Nicholas was wearing a blue three - piece suit, looking handsome and charming. Sophia couldn't help being attracted to him, and Nicholas also noticed the beautiful Sophia. When their eyes met, it was as if time stood still. A wonderful chemical reaction quietly occurred between them, laying a promising Foreshadowing for their married life.
