A Good Future
Sophie thought about how Leland and Nicholas had so much in common, from the perspective of an outsider. The men themselves might be too blinded by their jealousy to realize that.
She could see that both men didn't have a good relationship with their fathers, but both were good fathers themselves. They both were also good leaders who took their responsibility seriously but deep inside they were not interested in power.
Looking at her mate, Sophie secretly thought that Leland and Nicholas could actually become good friends had the situation been different. Unfortunately, she could only dream of seeing the two men become friends. Just having them be civil and not try to kill each other would already be an accomplishment.
Leland looked at Sophie with a flat expression. Her words struck a chord in his heart. Did he really have many things in common with Nicholas? He was not a good talker. He also didn't have a sunny personality.
