“Rather than leaving this place abandoned, wouldn’t it be better to let Sophia and her son use it? It’s not like we live here. If you want to visit in the future, can’t I just come with you?”
“And what you just said was way out of line. Sophia and I are innocent. We’re not as filthy as you’re making it sound. Your words were hurtful. Apologize to her now.”
I was stunned by Simon's words.
Sophia looked at me with a triumphant, mocking smile as if I were nothing more than a joke.
The fury inside me burned to its peak.
But more than anything, I felt crushing disappointment with Simon Garland.
He actually asked me to apologize to someone like Sophia Keaton?
He always claimed to love me and our daughter, but now I see it clearly. No matter how much he said otherwise, in his heart, my daughter and I would never compare to Sophia and her son.
Thinking back on everything, I realized that my years of devotion felt like nothing more than a pathetic joke.
I felt worthless. I felt even more heartbroken for my daughter, who was no longer here.
Years ago, Sophia had chosen to go abroad, chase bigger dreams, and marry a wealthy foreign businessman.
