NovelEnglishJaasked her, "Do you honestly think that I'm a fool? Do you think that I still cannot see right through you after all these years? Based on your current state, I know that you're obviously lying." As he spoke, Jahad a helpless expression on his face as he said, "Sigh. Why do you think that you've to hide this matter from me? Our benefactor is not only your benefactor, but he is also my benefactor. He was also the one who saved my life. I know that you want to find him to repay his kindness, and I also want to find him to repay his kindness! If he was indeed the one who saved you and mom this time, the Schulz family would owe him four lives, then! If I have the chance to do so, I would want to thank him in person, but you keep hiding the truth fromhere. Does that mean that I cannot possibly have the chance to thank my benefactor in person in the future?" 3 Sophie's line of psychological defense was suddenly a little crushed.
This was because she did not realize that her elder brother, Jaime, had already begun using the moral high grounds against her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was instantly caught in a contradictory state of being stuck in a dilemma.
On one hand, she had already promised Charlie that she would not reveal his identity.
But on the other hand, her elder brother seemed to have already guessed the overall situation, and she could not refute it because of what he had said.
After thinking about it, Sophie thought to herself,' Since my elder brother has already guessed it, I'll just affirm his assumption, lest he feels very unhappy deep down in his heart. As for more news about my benefactor, I'll not reveal anything else.' So, Sophie could only speak up. "Brother, your guess is right. The person who savedand Mom is indeed our benefactor..." Jawas stunned for a moment.
'It's true indeed...' 'The older a person is, the wiser he is... Grandpa has never met our benefactor before, but he could guess that it was him. If he did not remind me, I'm afraid that I would have never thought of this at all...' So, Jaintentionally pretended to be very excited a s he said excitedly, "Oh! It's our benefactor indeed! That's really great! Sophie, when can you bringto meet our benefactor? I want to thank him properly in person!" Sophie hurriedly said, "Brother, I do not know where our benefactor is either..." Jaasked in surprise, "What do you mean? Didn't you meet our benefactor?" Sophie replied, "I saw him, but he did not reveal anything at all. He also askedand Mom to keep this a secret. I do not even know his nor his last nat all. Moreover, he truly restricted Mom's and m y movement before this. So, we really do not know any more information." As she spoke, she was afraid that Jawould not believe her. So, she continued, "Our benefactor has always had a very strong sense of mystery. He has always been unwilling to say anything. You know this fact too. When he saved us the first time, besides being unwilling to reveal his own identity, he also refused to say anything else to us. Perhaps this kind of top master always has this kind of disposition..." When Jaheard these words, he could not help but feel disappointed.
He did not doubt Sophie's words at all.

As he thought about this, he hurriedly said, "In my opinion, our benefactor must be in Aurous Hill then. In that case, we can continue looking for his whereabouts. This time, the scope of our search is much narrower as compared to before. I think that we'll certainly be able to find sclues!" 5
Sophie was afraid that her brother would see that something was amiss. So, she pretended to be in absolute agreement with him as she ve nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother, you're right! I was just thinking about. this just now. Since we can narrow down the scope of our search to just the city of Aurous Hill, it'd certainly be much easier for us to find our benefactor!"
After she was done speaking, she hurriedly said again, "But we'll have to keep a low profile, and we cannot om make a big fuss ovèk this matter.
After all, we're doing this right under our benefactor's watch. Since he does not want us to find him, if he finds out about this, he might get angry, and he might even decide to leave Aurous Hill!" Jaalso agreed with Sophie's words and he hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about this. I'll think of a RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
