Chapter 639: Won’t Leave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sophie knew Zou Bai wasn’t just trying to scare her. It was very likely that this could happen in the future.
Her mother had never hidden her desire for the throne. She had even openly confronted her uncle. The siblings were notoriously not on good terms.
Now that her uncle wanted to give up his identity as the Crown Prince, her mother would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Otherwise, she would not have called to urge her to go back.
Since Sophie was now the heiress, it was impossible for her to stay out of trouble.
“But I don’t want to participate in this fight at all. I can offer to give up my status as a member of the royal family. I’m willing to be an ordinary person,” Sophie said helplessly.
Zou Bai shook his head. “So what if you say you’ve left the royal family? The center of this battle is your mother. As long as she wants to fight for the throne, you can’t be ignored. You have the blood of the royal family in you. You can make a comeback at any time. It doesn’t matter if you want to fight or not. Whether you can fight is what matters.”
Zou Bai was used to such power struggles in the capital. Once the heir failed to successfully become the head of the family, the others would definitely fight to the death.
It was not unusual for people to lose their lives. As long as such a family appeared friendly on the surface, no one cared about what was going on in private.
Moreover, Sophie’s family was competing for the throne of a country, and their methods would only be more intense. In other words, Sophie was no longer safe.
Jiang An held Sophie’s hand and said, “Why don’t you return to Country F first? At least you’ll be safe next to your mother.”
“I can go back, but what about Gao Tian and our child?” Sophie looked at her husband and child. “In this situation, Country F will definitely reject tourists from other countries. They can’t go back with me. I can’t leave them here.”
Sophie was a very family-oriented person. Her husband and children were the most important people to her now. It was absolutely impossible for her to leave them for her own safety.
“Since Gao Tian and Gao Jing don’t have Country F’s nationality, it means that Country F can’t act rashly either. They can’t bear the crime of harming other countries’ citizens. As long as they’re more careful, nothing should happen.”
Zou Bai analyzed, “If the people from Country F really make a move on them, it will affect the friendship between the two countries. As long as they’re still sane, they won’t hurt them.”
This made Sophie feel a little more at ease, but she still did not want to leave. She had seen the methods of the royal family in Country F.
Although she could obtain her mother’s protection when she returned, she would also give up her freedom. If Country F restricted her travels, she would never be able to return to China.
Gao Tian took a step forward. “You don’t have to be overcautious. You just have to think about what you want to do at this moment. As long as it’s your decision, I’ll support it. If you want to go back, I’ll send you back. If you want to stay, our family of three will face everything bravely together.”
Gao Tian had always been reserved. Most of the time, it was Sophie who spoke for the family. He agreed with whatever his wife said.
Therefore, many people thought that their family dynamic was that women were strong while men were weak. Sophie was in charge of everything.
But Sophie knew that wasn’t the case. Gao Tian was usually obedient because he loved her, but when it came to real things, he was never silent.
He was always able to offer a mature solution, and it was this that appealed to Sophie so that the two of them could fall in love and start a family.
Sophie paced back and forth on the spot. After a while, she said, “I want to stay. No matter what happens, our family of three has to be together. If I leave, no one knows what will happen in the future. If I can’t come back, I won’t be able to see you for the rest of my life.”
“Okay, the three of us will be together.” Gao Tian held Gao Jing’s hand and held Sophie’s. “I don’t believe that those people are so bold as to do whatever they want in China’s territory.”
Jiang An also felt that this was the best choice. Sophie did not have any thoughts about the throne. She would rather stay with the person she loved than face all the storms when she returned.
“You don’t have to be too afraid. After all, the King is still alive. Even if they want to fight, they can’t do it openly. I’ll let you know immediately if anything happens,” Zou Bai made a promise.
Sophie was very grateful to him and didn’t know what to say. Many people had offered money to the Zou family for information, but they couldn’t get it. Zou Bai was only willing to do this for Jiang An..
