Butler Walter stood aside, his eyes red.
He was so close to pinching a hankie to wipe the tears that weren’t even there in the corners of his eyes, whimpering and sobbing and being so touched.
The masters, and the eldest young master all had a fixation with cleanliness.
Normally, if they could eat at the same table with others, it would be considered giving them face, let alone using
Only Miss Foster could make them break their rules again and again!
This was indeed the favoritism from them,!
Sure enough, Miss Foster was the redemption of this cold family!
The meal ended in a harmonious atmosphere as the four of them, grandparent and grandchildren, exchanged dishes.
Sophia had gone from being so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back to being so full that her little belly was even bulging.
The three of them still showed no signs of giving up.
They kept feeding her after–dinner desserts and drinks, under the pretense of “filling the gaps“.
Sophia was speechless.
There were no more gaps left in her stomach.
Everywhere was stuffed full, where was there any gap?
–
Having not experienced much familial love in the past twenty years, she finally understood now –
The love of family was too overwhelming!
She rested on the sofa, patting her round belly.
Meanwhile, Father and Lucas sat on the other side of the sofa, accompanying her in watching the trending variety show on
- TV.
Sophia looked up at the two with some surprise.
These two… were usually so busy they hardly had time to come home.`
Being able to come back for lunch was already quite rare for them.
Now, they weren’t rushing back to the company to be their busy bosses.
It was very suspicious indeed.
Sophia squinted, hugged a pillow, adjusted her body to a lazy and comfortable position, propped up half her face, and looked suspiciously at the two people on the other side of the sofa.
The girl’s starry eyes seemed to curve into a playful arc, with straightforward scrutiny in her eyes, yet it did not give an aggressive feeling at all.
But they both felt somewhat uneasy under that straightforward gaze, their eyes wandering.

Edward showed an expression of you guys really suck, slowly blew on the tea held in his hand, which Sophia had specially prepared for him, and took a sip before slowly speaking: “Alright, we are all family, if you want to ask anything, just ask directly, what’s it like to be wriggly and girlish?”
They exchanged a look, then took out two documents from the briefcase and spread them out towards Sophia, “Sophia, is this… written by you?”
Sophia glanced at them.
They were exactly the two proposals she had placed in her grandfather’s study in the morning.
Sophia nodded.
Father’s long fingers resting on the proposal tightened slightly, fingertips faintly whitening, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, “How… did you write these two proposals?”
Sophia rested her chin on the pillow, making a thoughtful pose.
After a few seconds, only then replied, “Grandpa had been anxious for this cooperation programmed these days, he wouldn’t go home during the day, even if he went home, he stayed in the study all day, and he didn’t listen to me to secretly stay up all night. He also let Walter cover up for him, thinking that I wouldn’t know about it, so… for his health, I’ll just solve it.”
Edward’s hand, holding his teacup and just about to press it to his lips, lurched, and a look of guilty conscience appeared on his face.
Butler Walter, who was standing beside them, watching such a warm scene with a moved expression, suddenly froze, nervously looking at Sophia, his eyes wide open.
As such a meticulous person, he covered for Old Master perfectly, how could Miss Foster have discovered it?
They exchanged another glance, and both of them sat up straight.
It seemed, from Sophia’s tone, as if… these two proposals were casually written by her for her grandpa’s health, without much effort.
However…
These two proposals were the best they had seen so far.
One ensured the maximum benefit for the whole Group.
The other one ensured that their Group could avoid all the current risks they were worried about and still benefit.
No matter which proposal.
It was the best proposal among all those presented by the Group so far!
“Is there a problem with the proposals?” Sophia saw their strange expressions, moved the two proposals in front of her, and glanced at them quickly, “If you have any concerns or needs regarding this cooperation case, let me know, I can make some adjustments.”
“No, nothing wrong with them.” It was because there was nothing wrong with the proposals that they were so shocked.
And upon hearing Sophia say that she could adjust the proposal according to their requirements, they were even more shocked.
This cooperation was currently a rather important partnership for their Group, related to the development of its
international market.

They had been busy with it for almost two months, bringing out all kinds of elites, yet still unable to come up with the perfect solution.

Because of this, Edward had brought the relevant materials back to home, hoping to synthesize a more perfect solution from them.
And he had only brought the materials back to home… for three days, maybe?
Sophia had already provided them with two excellent proposals and could further refine them?
Lukas tugged at his open suit, stood up, and suddenly grabbed Sophia’s wrist, “Sophia, come with me to the study for a second.”
His stern face was full of excitement.
However, when he was pulling on her, he restrained himself and didn’t use much force. No matter how urgent he was, he still coordinated with her steps.
The two of them entered the study one after the other.
“My little daughter… how amazing you are!”
Sophia’s father’s eyes were red as he looked at her figure with excitement and emotion, sniffled, and then got up to follow.
Edward sat quietly for quite a while.

In his mind, the image of the girl patting his shoulder last night appeared, saying calmly, “I’ve set up two versions of the plan you wanted.”
At the time, he thought she was just saying something offhand to make him go to bed earlier.
Yet, he vaguely felt in his heart that…
His granddaughter would not speak irresponsibly.
So, this morning, he couldn’t wait to rush into the study to verify his suspicions.
This granddaughter of his was truly excellent.
Even in his younger days, he couldn’t achieve… this kind of confidence she had now.
Edward Foster chuckled softly, then slowly got up and walked toward the study.
When he reached the kitchen door, he saw his son standing there, his eyes teary, staring dazedly through the crack of the door at the people inside the study.
His face was full of relief and pride.
In a daze, he seemed to see his eldest son from twenty years ago…
When his son was in front of his eldest daughter–in–law, he also looked so foolishly tearful.
