After Solomon and the other Devin family members moved all the dowry items back to Northwatch Estate, Sophie came out to thank them and invited everyone in for tea. Solomon shook his head. “We’ve got other important matters to attend to, so we can’t stay for tea. By the way, Blake asked me to give…

Sophie couldn’t help but feel bitterness and pain as she thought of her father and brothers again.
