Hearing that sound, Sophie instinctively wanted to return to her cabin, but Odie directly blocked her path.


    "Mr. Odie, I''m not feeling well. Can I go back and rest?"


    Sophie didn''t want to pay any attention to Odie. Her message had already been sent out, and Colby should have noticed by now. Once the ship docked, she would find a way to escape from Odie''s clutches.


    Odie observed Sophie''s expression, his eyes like the depths of a calm and yet distantke, irresistibly inviting one to explore further.


    Feeling ufortable under Odie''s gaze, Sophie stepped back immediately when Odie moved forward, maintaining a safe distance between them.


    Sophie lost her patience. "Odie, what exactly do you want?"


    "Go get a doctor to get her some medicine."


    Odie didn''t even nce at Polly, but Polly didn''t dare disobey Odie''smand. She sneakily nced at Sophie beside her before finally saying weakly, "Yes, Mr. Odie."Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Watching Polly walk away, Sophie then said, "Did you send Polly away because you have something to say to me alone?"


    Odie took a step closer to Sophie, who, with a look of disgust, stepped back.


    Odie raised an eyebrow, then took another step closer. This time, Sophie didn''t step back. She said, "Mr. Odie, are you sick?"


    "Why didn''t you say you were seasick earlier?"


    "I told Gattlin, and he said I''d get used to it." Sophie''s lie came easily.


    At that moment, Polly also came out from the cabin, saying, "Mr. Odie, the medicine."


    Odie''s gaze remained on Sophie as he took the pills from Polly''s hand. The next second, he pinched Sophie''s cheek and stuffed the pill into her mouth. "Cough, cough...!"


    Without a drop of water, the pill went straight down her throat, choking her until her face turned red. Soon, the bitter taste spread in Sophie''s throat. She held back the urge to vomit and said sarcastically, You came all this way just to make me take medicine?"


    Odie looked at Sophie coldly and said, "I''m making you take medicine because I don''t want you to die on my ship."


    "Is that so? I thought you were interested in me, and that''s why you cared."


    Sophie deliberately said this, making Odie scoff, "Interested in you?"


    Odie pinched Sophie''s chin, moving her face from side to side, and said, "In terms of beauty and figure, you''re not the top-notch. What makes you think I''d be interested in you?"


    "Though my beauty and figure may not be top-notch, finding someone more outstanding than me in


    Devonport isn''t easy. Besides, a


    man''s interest in a woman do


    have much to do with beauty or figure, does it?"


    "Well said." Odie let go of Sophie, saying, "I have many ways to tame a little cat who knows how to scratch like you. I''m waiting for the day you kneel before me and submit." Then, Odie turned and left Sophie.


    Once Odie was gone, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wouldn''t be Odie''s ything!


    She wanted to be the one who could y Odie.


    The ship had drifted at sea for three days, and Sophie realized something was amiss.


    ording to Polly, they should have arrived at Devonport today, but the vast sea was still all that was visible, with no docks or borders in sight.
