The father and son stared at each other. "Dad, how did you know we were here?"
Colin twitched his lips and said nonchalantly, "You"re simply predictable." He had a tracker installed on the watch on his son"s wrist.
... Amborse snorted, "Don"t bother me and Sophia next time."
With a thoughtful look, Colin tapped the table several times with his forefinger. "Actually, you can take her home tonight."
"What? Really?" Ambrose"s eyes shined with glee.
"Of course! Let me tell you how..."
...
After supper, Sophia took Ambrose for a walk to digest the food they ate.
At about 9 o"clock, Sophia said to Ambrose, "Brody, it"s time to go to bed. Tomorrow"s a school day, remember? Come on, go back home with your dad."
Ambrose"s face suddenly changed. He put his hands over his stomach and stumbled into Sophia"s arms. "Sophia, I seem to... have a stomachache."
"What? What happened? Let me have a look." Sophia crouched down, worriedly looking at the miserable-looking boy.
Shaking his head, Ambrose kept worming in Sophia"s arms. "Sophia, I"m not feeling very well. Can you take me home? Can you sing me a lullaby when I go to bed?"
Sophia felt her heart hammering at the boy"s faint voice. She looked up at the silent man standing nearby. "Your son"s ill. Let"s take him to the hospital!"
She didn"t understand why Colin seemed so calm at the sight of his son like this. Are all fathers this heartless?
Before Colin could reply, Ambrose clung to her clothes. "Sophia, I don"t want to go to hospital. Can you just hold me?"
Ambrose looked so expectant, Sophia didn"t have the heart to refuse. "Okay." She lifted him up in her arms. "Brody, does it hurt a lot? I think you need to go to he hospital."
"I don"t want to got to hospital. Can you just take me home?" Ambrose pleaded. He put his arms around Sophia"s neck and leaned his head on her shoulder.

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...
ouse... She hadn"t been here for years, but nothing had changed since then.
When they reached the foot of the stairs, Colin blocked her way. He took Ambrose in his arms and went upstairs.
While Sophia hesitated if she should follow, Ambrose suddenly screamed, "I don"t want dad! I want Sophia!"
She instantly rushed upstairs without a second thought.
Hearing the commotion, Wendy opened the door of her room. Her eyes lit up at the sight of Sophia behind Colin and Ambrose. "Sophia, you"re here!"
"Yes, Auntie. I"m sorry to bother you!" Sophia looked at Wendy in embarra.s.sment.
"Not at all. It"s far from my bedtime! I was actually talking to Selina just now." As she spoke, a woman exited the room.
It was indeed Selina!
"Selina!"
"Sophia!" The two women hugged as soon as they saw each other.
During the three years Sophia was in Milan, she had been in contact with Selina. She was a lively and lovely girl.
Waking up, Ambrose jumped off his father"s arms and rushed to Selina. "Auntie."
Selina released Sophia and lifted the boy up. "You"ve grown much taller and heavier, I can barely hold you now!"
"That"s okay, Auntie. I"m a boy. When I grow up, I can hold you and Sophia!" Ambrose slipped off Selina"s arms and went back to Sophia.
