Chapter 72
Lucas teased Sophie playfully, making her blush instantly…
“I didn’t…”
Although she denied it, Sophie realized in her heart that she rushed to greet Roger without thinking…
However, she felt that it must be because he couldn’t see. It wasn’t because she missed Roger.
Roger, on the other hand, was happy to hear Lucas‘ words. He actually admitted to Lucas, “Although Sophie and I haven’t known each other for long, we’ve been inseparable at home. Last night was the first time we were separated.”
His words had ambiguous meaning. Immediately Lucas and Wesley became more surprised.
They looked at Sophie with a different expression. They thought, ‘So, Roger has such a good relationship with Sophie?‘
Sophie felt so shy that she wished she could dig a hole and hide in it. She wondered what was wrong with Roger.
Why did he keep saying things that made her feel awkward today?
“Don’t talk nonsense…” Sophie reminded him in a low voice, feeling exasperated.
Roger immediately laughed secretly.
However, Wesley and Lucas seemed to understand what Roger and Sophie were up to.
Sophie felt that everyone did not believe that she was not as close to Roger as he claimed. Hence, she could only let their imagination run wild.
“Please take a seat, Roger. I’ll go upstairs and inform Mom and Dad.”
Kenneth, Benjamin, and Timothy had all gone to work today. Fortunately, Marcus and Bianca were in.
Wesley went upstairs while Lucas stayed behind to entertain Roger.
“Roger, you’re actually quite handsome. If you can enter the entertainment industry, there will definitely be many companies fighting for you…”
It was obvious that Lucas wanted to improve his relationship with Roger. After all, he had asked Roger to break off the engagement at the dining table last time. However, now that Lucas was trying to boot–lick Roger, he did not consider Roger’s blindness.
Sophie looked back at Roger helplessly, but she realized that Roger did not seem to mind. He even smiled and

said, “Thank you for your complimentary, Lucas.”
Lucas chuckled. The two of them did not harbor any grudges against each other and drank coffee together.

At this moment, a voice came from upstairs. It sounded sarcastic. “Lucas is right. Roger is indeed quite handsome. It’s a pity that he can’t see. Otherwise, it is a good idea for him to join the entertainment industry.”
Only Evelyn could say such tactless words.
The moment Sophie looked up angrily at Evelyn.
This girl didn’t get any benefits yesterday and now, she was here to find trouble with Sophie early in the morning.
Evelyn was really a pain in the ass.
Evelyn lifted her chin and walked down the stairs with an arrogant look on her face.
So what if she wasn’t the biological daughter of the Dawson family?
Sophie was already married, and her husband was a blind man! She would only become the laughingstock of everyone in her life.
Sophie’s eyes were cold as she said, “Evelyn, don’t you think your words are a little too hurtful?”
Seeing that Sophie was helping him, Roger felt happy in his heart. However, he looked calm and composed. “It’s fine. Your sister is still young and insensible. I understand. After all, not many people are as gentle and kind as
you.”
Roger’s words were like a knife that stabbed into Evelyn’s heart.
She was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
Ever since Sophie returned home, Evelyn hated it the most when others compared her to Sophie.
However, this blind man actually said that she was insensible and not as kind as Sophie!
Evelyn could not tolerate that!
Evelyn scoffed and said, “I’m indeed not as kind as my sister. After all, I’m not as compassionate as her to be willing to marry a disabled person.”
Evelyn’s cruel words were indeed very insulting.
Lucas could not stand it anymore. “Evelyn! What nonsense are you spouting now? Apologize to Mr. Roger now!”
Everyone felt that Evelyn was getting more outrageous and disrespectful in her choice of words.

She had the cheek to insult Roger.
However, Evelyn ignored Lucas and did not say anything. She still had an arrogant look as she felt that nobody
could do anything to her.
At this moment, Marcus, Bianca, and Wesley came downstairs together.
Marcus seemed to have heard Lucas‘ voice and immediately said, “Lucas, what’s wrong? Why are you shouting?”
When Evelyn saw Lucas being reprimanded, she looked aggrieved. She said to Marcus and Bianca, “Dad, Mom… You’re finally here. Lucas talked to me fiercely.”
This was her usual trick in the past. Her parents doted on her. As long as she complained, her brothers would be
the ones being reprimanded.
For a moment, Lucas did not dare to speak. After all, he had always given in to Eveyln since he was young. He
could only try his best to tolerate her behavior.
As expected, Bianca sighed and said to Lucas, “Lucas, it’s not often that you get to rest for a few days. Why are you
arguing with Eveyln?”
Lucas was usually the most mischievous of all the boys and liked to bicker with Evelyn. They were all used to it.
“I…” For a moment, Lucas was exasperated. He wanted to explain, but every time he tried, his parents always said that he was a boy and should give in to his sister. For a moment, he had no desire to explain.
Sophie had an upset expression on her face. She said, “Mom, it was Eveyln who spoke without thinking. She said that Roger is disabled.”
Sophie did not give in to Evelyn and explained the situation clearly to her parents.
Marcus and Bianca’s expressions changed.
“Evelyn, did you really say that?” Marcus‘ brows were tightly knitted together and he looked disappointment.
In the past, Evelyn had always spoken without thinking, but at that time, her family spoilt her and did not mind
much about her behavior.
But now, she had become so arrogant and rude to the Nicholls family. It was simply too much!
Seeing the sudden change in her father’s expression, Evelyn realized that her parents‘ love for her was gone. could only look away guiltily and mutter, “I’m telling the truth…”
She
Bianca looked at her helplessly and said, “You’re still twisting your words. No wonder Lucas asked you to apologize to Mr. Roger. He is right. You have to apologize sincerely to Mr. Roger for saying such things.”
“Mom!” Evelyn did not expect Bianca not to side with her. She immediately panicked.

She had never apologized to an outsider in her life!
But now, they actually wanted her to apologize to a blind person?
“No!” Evelyn turned her head away, refusing to apologize no matter what.
Sophie looked very glum. She wanted to say something.

However, Roger beat her to it. “Marcus, Bianca, let’s forget about this matter. What she said is indeed the truth.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Sophie’s pupils constricted.
She thought, ‘Roger, even if she is telling the truth, she shouldn’t hurt you by saying out loud!‘
Evelyn had gone too far!
“Mr. Roger…” Bianca was a little surprised that Roger was so reasonable.
Evelyn did not expect the blind man to be so cowardly. She became even more aggressive. “See, I told you I was telling the truth. He agreed to it himself.”
A blind man was a blind man! He couldn’t see anything!
Naturally, he did not dare to go against her!
Sophie bit her lower lip. She wished she could give Evelyn a tight slap.
For some reason, Evelyn’s words made her inexplicably angry. If her parents weren’t here, she would have slapped
her!
At this moment, Roger continued to speak calmly. “However, I have something to tell you, so I’ll be frank.”
Seeing that Roger had something to say, Marcus immediately sat down with Bianca and said, “Please speak freely, Roger.”
Sophie frowned as she looked at Roger. Her intuition told her that what he was going to say was not simple.
Evelyn was also curious about what he wanted to say.
Roger calmly held the coffee cup and smiled. “Sophie is my wife. I’m not afraid of being insulted, but I can’t bear to
see her suffer.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Marcus and Bianca looked at each other.
Ever since Sophie returned home, they had been doting on her. When had they ever let her suffer?
