Robert stared at Sophia in astonishment. He couldn't believe what he had heard.
"You are going to leave Alexander? On your own accord?"
Sophia nodded and then looked at Robert straight in the eye. "Yes, I'm going to leave Alexander on my own accord."
"But why?" Robert asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Isn't it obvious? Alexander will lose everything because of me. It's just not worth it. I won't be able to forgive myself when that happens." She let out a sigh. "When I leave, you'll stop punishing Alexander, won't you?"
Sophia looked at the old man, straight-faced. She knew how much Alexander mean to Robert. The reason why he did this now was that he wanted Alexander to shrink back from difficulties and give up on her.
But with her leaving, Robert would get his way and Alexander would not be punished again
