Victoria's expression was filled with pain.
Her sorrow came from the realization that she had abandoned her own daughter—and had spent all these years raising a son for the woman she hated most in her life!
Heaven had played a cruel joke on her. But if she hadn't made that first mistake—if she hadn't abandoned her own flesh and blood—would any of this have happened?
"I also have some things I'd like to say to you," Sophie said calmly.
Hearing Sophie speak so suddenly, Victoria was momentarily taken aback. She couldn't help glancing at Charles beside her.
Charles's thoughtful gaze had never once left Sophie.
"My uncle and eldest cousin are both at work, my younger cousin is at school right now, and my aunt should have already gone to the supermarket to buy groceries. There shouldn't be anyone at home. If you're willing, please come up to my uncle's apartment so we can talk."
"Very well." Victoria agreed immediately. Her eyes never left Sophie.
