"Why are you stopping us?" Sofia suddenly spoke, her voice cutting through the suffocating stillness. As she looker at Merisa who turned her head as looking at Razeal..
From the very moment this woman had appeared, Sofia had been watching her closely. And yet, no matter how much she looked, she couldn't find a crack. Not even the smallest change in expression. Not a flicker of emotion. Her face was like still water calm, cold, and impossibly deep.. As if she just doesn't feel any emotions or whatsoever.
"I came here to take my son."
Merisa answered plainly as still looking at Razeal. Calmly. As if stating something inevitable.
"And," she added, her gaze shifting slightly, settling back on Sofia, "to see my daughter-in-law."
Her eyes moved over Sofia from head to toe.. not rudely, not judgmentally, but with a quiet, assessing precision that made Sofia's skin prickle.
"As i thought.. I should at least meet her."
Sofia felt it then.
That pressure.
