Chapter 38 

For someone who had helped her so much, Sophie genuinely wanted to meet him in person and prepare a generous gift as thanks. 

Unexpectedly, there was silence for quite a while on the other side. 

Just 

when she thought Night might not reply, she suddenly received a response, which read, [When the time is right, we will micet.

Sophie’s heart suddenly warmed, but at the same time, she felt that Night’s words seemed to carry a hidden meaning. However, she didn’t care. As long as there was a chance to meet, Sophie would definitely express her gratitude to Night. 

These days, Sophie’s most important task was to focus on rehabilitation and prepare for Norman’s birthday banquet. 

At midnight, Sophie didn’t know if it was due to the intensive rehabilitation these past few days, and she surprisingly felt hungry in the middle of the night. After she endured the hunger for a while, her stomach actually growled. 

Helpless, Sophie had to sit up and search for something to eat at the bedside. Unfortunately, since she arrived at this house, there was no stash of snacks. 

“Alas, if I had known, I should have bought some snacks when I went out during the day,” she muttered to herself. Sophie decided to go downstairs to find something to eat. 

She glanced in the direction of the study. Roger seemed to be sleeping soundly. Not wanting to disturb him, she quietly supported her body, got out of bed, and slowly wheeled her wheelchair out 

of the room

Fortunately, her wheelchair was already silent, making little noise. She quietly slipped out of the room after gently closing the door. Little did she know that in the darkness, Roger slowly opened 

his eyes. 

Sophie took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the kitchen. Because it was midnight, there weren’t many people in the kitchen. She breathed a sigh of relief and wheeled herchair into the kitchen. Looking around, she actually found a pack of bread. 

“Not bad. Someone left a pack of bread for me,” she murmured. Although there were snacks at home, she didn’t know where the servants kept them, so finding a pack of bread was already good. 

But eating plain bread was not very appetizing. Sophie decided to open the refrigerator to look for peanut butter. 

“It’s up there.” Seeing the peanut butter on the top shelf, Sophie took a deep breath and supported her body to stand up.

“This is peanut butter, right?” She looked at the label to confirm. 

Suddenly, a hand reached from behind, directly taking a can of beer in front of her. 

“Who’s there?” Sophie was startled, instinctively turning around, but her eyes collided with Thomas’s. She suddenly felt a thud in her heart. “It’s you?” 

Thomas’s eyes were sizing her up and down at this moment. He trapped her between the wheelchair and the refrigerator and leisurely opened the beer.

“This question should be asked by me. Sophie, you really hid it well. You’re not disabled?” Thomas assessed her legs, then coldly took a sip of beer. 

Sophie only now realized that only Jasmine, Rebecca, and Norman knew that she could stand up. Thomas had no knowledge of this. She quickly sat down and replied calmly, “I never said I was disabled.” 

Thomas spoke harshly, which really annoyed Sophie. Disregarding him, she turned to leave, intending to eat the bread at the dining table. 

Unexpectedly, Thomas went to the refrigerator again, took out a pack of snacks, and sat down next 

to her. 

Feeling him approaching her without reason, Sophie felt some repulsion. But she could only continue eating, hoping he would finish quickly and leave. 

“Tsk. Having bread for a midnight snack. How unappetizing!” Thomas coldly teased. 

Sophie rolled her eyes and said, “I only found bread. I’didn’t see any other snacks.” 

Thomas raised an eyebrow. When Sophie was sharp–tongued and annoying, he didn’t like her. But seeing her eating bread so plainly, he felt that she was pitiful. 

Helplessly, Thomas took out a few packs of biscuits and snacks from a drawer behind him, holding the beer, and handed them to Sophie. “Snacks are here. You can come here when you’re hungry in 

the future.” 

Sophie instinctively caught the snacks that he threw at her, and she felt a bit stunned. She thought, ‘He actually helped me find something to eat.‘ 

Thomas saw her puzzled expression. Thomas smirked and said, “After all, we’re family. I won’t poison you.” 

Sophie naturally knew he wouldn’t poison her. She opened the snacks and muttered, “I just thought you wouldn’t be so kind 

Thomas couldn’t help but frown. “We’ve only met for the first day, and you’ve concluded that I’m

not a good person?” 

Sophie coldly snorted and replied. “For people from prominent families, self–interest comes first. What is a good person? Just someone who is beneficial to themselves.” 

As she spoke, she opened a packet of biscuits and took a bite. Biscuits do taste better than bread, Sophie thought. 

Hearing her words, Thomas couldn’t help but feel intrigued by Sophie’s casual remarks. “You are right, my presence is indeed detrimental to Daisy’s branch, and naturally I am not considered a good person in your mind.” 

Sophie smiled, finding Thomas quite self–aware. Without saying anything more, Sophie focused on cating, intending to finish quickly and leave. 

Thomas also remained silent, just drinking his beer, then taking out two more cans, sitting next to Sophic, and continuing to drink. At this moment, he seemed to have lost the arrogance of the daytime. His eyes were deep, and between his brows, there was a hint of melancholy. 

Seeing this, Sophie couldn’t help but sarcastically say, “You’re quite imposing during the day, but why do you seem so melancholic at night?” 

Thomas glanced at Sophie. He was currently feeling depressed. Even if he could tell that Sophie was deliberately mocking him, he couldn’t help but speak the truth. He replied. The imposing demeanor during the day? I merely helped my father secure the cooperation. But when it comes to project implementation, I don’t even have the qualification to propose ideas.” 

He originally wanted to talk to Damian about his suggestions for this cooperation project at night. but Damian simply didn’t listen. 

Sophie, upon hearing this, instantly understood. Thomas had talent but couldn’t utilize it, so he felt frustrated. 

Seeing him helping her with the snacks just now, Sophie kindly refrained from further teasing and calmly said, “Although I don’t know much about Damian, he seems quite stubborn. If you want him. to consider your suggestions, a few words won’t help at all. Why don’t you put your ideas all down on paper, calculate the profit as well as the loss that will be caused if you don’t improve it, and bring out the actual evidence to convince him?” 

Damian was someone who prioritized his authority. He definitely wouldn’t like others interfering in his decisions. His only weakness was avarice. As long as there was enough benefit, he would be 

drawn to it. 

Sophie’s words made Thomas’s eyes light up. 

Having finished eating, Sophie, while cleaning up, continued, “Nevertheless, I suggest that next time, if you have good ideas, just go directly to Norman, bypassing Damian.”

Thomas hesitated and said, “But for now, my father is managing the company.” 

Sophie confidently smiled. “The older generation will eventually step down. As long as you contribute positively to the company, you should start playing a role sooner. Succession is natural. Norman should be happy about it.”
