Chapter 129 A Surprise
That woman was there, looking this way.

Sonya got goosebumps. Then, the security guard said, “A figure seems to be there. I’m not wearing my glasses. Wait a moment. I go put them on.”
Sonya’s mouth twitched. When Sonya looked across again, that woman who looked like Zoey had “turned around and walked toward the south.
Sonya furrowed her brows and ran there.
“Wait! You’re Lyla, right? What are you doing here?”
Sonya ran for a long way but failed to catch up. That woman got into a taxi and left, and Sonya couldn’t stop her.
Sonya watched as the taxi drove away, taking a deep breath. Since the accident on the island, Sonya had not seen Lyla again, as if Lyla had never shown up in her life. And Lyla’s reappearance seemed to be a sign of another disaster.
Sonya shook her head to stop thinking that and then walked toward the villa. At night, when Sonya was half asleep, Sonya caught a familiar scent. Almost instinctively, Sonya reached out and wrapped her arms around Henry’s neck. Then, Henry kissed her and stroked her body, which turned her on.
“Honey,” Sonya whispered with affection.
“I’m here.”
“OK.”
“Call me again.”
“Honey.”
Henry stopped being gentle, eagerly tasting her.
In the morning when Sonya woke up, she felt she was aching all over. Henry had gone to work and left breakfast for her. Sonya went downstairs to have it and then went to weed the yards. They had been away from home for six months. The weeds had even grown out of the cracks in the bricks.
Sonya spent all morning weeding. In the afternoon, Sonya went
to her dime The clinic had been closed for half a year. Now, Sonya’s main tasks were to clean up and recruit a doctor. When it was all set, Sonya would reopen the clinic.
Many neighbors came to see Sonya when they saw the clinic open. They were concerned about whether anything had happened to Sonya. They also chatted with Sonya and helped her clean up.
“By the way, I suggest you take a look around and see if anything is missing. About 2 months ago, I saw a man sneaking around. He didn’t seem like a good person,” the neighbor who ran a small
grocery store reminded Sonya.
When Sonya got in, Sonya saw it was quite tidy inside and didn’t pay much attention. With the reminder, Sonya opened a drawer of the desk. Some elderly people were not used to mobile payment, so Sonya had prepared some change. Now, there was
not a penny left..

Was it stolen?” the neighbor asked.
Sonya could only smile and say, “Fortunately, it wasn’t much money.”

Sonya thought that she should install a surveillance camera in the yard. Although it was not a large sum of money, it was still dangerous to be targeted by thieves.
It was getting dark when they were done cleaning both the inside and the outside. And the neighbors were all going back home.
After Sonya saw them off, Sonya turned around and noticed the pomegranate tree in the courtyard was covered with pomegranates bigger than fists, all bright red. Sonya figured that they would be ripe in another half a month.
“Hello. May I ask if you are recruiting a doctor?”
Hearing that, Sonya turned her head. When Sonya saw who it was, Sonya was surprised.
“Kristina?”
Kristina was surprised too.“Ms. Ella, why would you be here?”
Sonya fell silent for a moment and answered, “I own this clinic.”
Kristina
suddenly
understood and then
revealed
an
embarrassed expression.
“I saw your job posting online, and I didn’t know it was you. I should have contacted you in advance. Then I would know.”
Kristina lowered her head as she spoke, folding her hands in awkwardness.
Sonya glanced at the back of Kristine and noticed Kristine’s suitcase.
“Sorry.” Still, Sonya refused.
Kristina nodded hastily, “I
understand.
Then, I…I will get out of your
hair.”
Kristina turned around and left with her suitcase.
Sonya let out a sigh. It was her and her mother’s home. Thus, Sonya didn’t want any one of Daniel’s family to set foot in it.
In the days Henry and Sonya had just gotten back, Henry was busy.
Benjamin was hospitalized. Since the company was in chaos, Henry had to deal with a lot of issues. As a result, Henry would go home very late every night.
Most of the time when Henry was back, Sonya was asleep. However, Sonya would still feel his
return.
One night when Sonya was half asleep, Sonya felt the bed sinking beside her. Sonya turned around and snuggled into Henry’s arms. Henry kissed her and then slept while holding her.
However, when Henry had just fallen asleep, his phone rang.
Henry hurriedly got up and went out to answer the phone.
‘After quite a while, Henry came back. However, just as he lay down, his phone rang again.
“Who is it? It’s late,” Sonya mumbled.
“Zack Hart, my special assistant. It’s something about the company.”
Sonya responded with
a
voice and
turned around to continue to sleep.

Henry took his phone and went out. Sonya waited for a while but Henry still didn’t come back Sonya couldn’t fall asleep, and she was thirsty, so she got up and went out to drink water. Just as Sonya entered the living room, Sonya heard Henry say, “Don’t call me at night again. Sonya will suspect.”
Sonya raised an eyebrow and stopped walking at the same time.
“I want to propose, all right? I can understand if you hire a symphony orchestra. But why would *you hire a rock band? Are you out of
your mind?
“And put away those cheesy decorations. I don’t want festivity. I want romance!
“Do you understand what romance is?
“Jay, entrusting this matter to you is the biggest mistake I have made in my life!”
Sonya quickly covered her mouth, preventing herself from
preventing herself from bursting into laughter.
On the
way back from the small town, Sonya asked Henry for a ring, and Henry said he would give Sonya a surprise.
Henry turned out to be preparing for the surprise while dealing with business matters.
However, since Henry let Jay handle it, they could just pray that the surprise wouldn’t turn into a fright.
Sonya didn’t go and catch Henry. Instead, Sonya retreated into the bedroom quietly.
The next morning when Sonya got downstairs, Henry was still there, making breakfast in the kitchen.
Sonya stretched a few times and hugged him from behind.
“Why didn’t you go to the company in the early morning?”
Henry turned around and kissed Sonya’s head, “Today is Saturday.”
“So you won’t hit the office today? You’ll keep me company?”
“Sorry. I’ll still hit the office, but later.”
Sonya sighed and stood on tiptoe to kiss Henry.“You must be tired.”
Henry hugged Sonya and was about to kiss Sonya back when his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Henry looked alert. Then, Henry handed the spoon to Sonya and went out to answer the call.
Sonya raised an eyebrow and thought, “If he had a mistress, I’d find it out very soon. He’s not suitable for sneaky things. He’s a bad liar.”
Meanwhile, Henry was furious.“Hasn’t he told you that I am proposing? What you said is for a funeral. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate?”
“What? He hasn’t told me that.”
“I want red candles, ten thousand of them. You don’t need to worry if I need so many of them. You’re just a seller.”
Right after that phone call, Henry called Jay and told him off.
When Henry was done, he went back inside and saw that Sonya had set the meal on the dining table. Henry sat down with guilt. Henry felt he owed Sonya an explanation. After all, he hurried out with his phone, which was suspicious.

It’s a call from Zack.”
Sonya played along with that.“Something urgent?”
“Yes. We’re going to have a meeting.”

“A meeting? But it’s Saturday.”
Henry coughed and said, “It’s very urgent.”
