Chapter 401
Everyone gathered at the mountaintop villa to celebrate Dexter and Sophia’s return.
Damien left after dropping the kids. He felt too ashamed to join the gathering and did not want to be there. Seeing them happy only made him feel worse although the villa belonged to him.
"The view here is magnificent." Violette stood on the balcony as she tended to the barbecue. She then opened her arms wide to embrace the evening breeze and said, "It feels so good now that everything is over."
Everything was over it seemed like they had won, but there was no winner in this silent war.
Joel had been wearing a gloomy expression from the start. He sat in a corner as he sneaked glances at Sophia. He was afraid that she might beat him up again.
"What are you looking at? Aren’t you eating?" Eason patted the hat on Joel’s head and asked, "Why do you have a hat on when it’s nighttime?"
Joel glanced at him and said, "My hair hasn’t grown back yet. A certain someone split the back of my head open and left a scar there. The big bald spot is beyond hideous!"
He grumbled and glared angrily at Sophia. "She didn’t hold back at all."
"Would that crazy sister of yours have fallen for it if she held back?" Eason was completely taken with Sophia now, finding her decisive, clever, and brave. Not only did she rescue Dexter on her own, but she even turned the tide and completely eliminated the threat of Genome Society.
"You’ve changed," Joel said as he looked at him. "Now, you only have eyes for Sophia."
Eason rolled his eyes before stuffing a grilled sausage into Joel’s mouth. Joel took a bite before glumly sipping on his beer.
