Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 252: The Only Person You Owe Is Sophie Allen

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Only Person You Owe Is Sophie Allen

Sophie was smiling.

But the more she tried to appear fine, the more it pained others to see her smile.

She was just a child; she didn’t need to be so mature.

Robert Reed couldn’t bear it, quickly stepped forward, and picked up Sophie: "It’s okay, it’s okay now. Come home with Grandpa. Wherever you want to play, Grandpa will take you."

"Okay." Sophie responded obediently.

The child was trying hard to hide her sadness, not wanting her family to worry about her, and she didn’t even want to disappoint the other kids at the amusement park because of her.

Seeing Sophie like this, everyone felt heartache, yet it indeed comforted everyone’s emotions.

Even Basil Smith breathed a sigh of relief; as long as she was fine.

But just as everyone was relieved because Sophie was found, Emma Lewis exploded with anger.

She stepped forward, grabbed Sophie, and said harshly: "I’m taking you to Godfery Shaw, that bastard. I want to ask him today if he even has a heart!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The child she had raised with her own hands, the feelings were different.

Robert Reed disciplined Sophie with love and partiality but would slightly conceal it.

But Emma’s love for Sophie was more indulgent.

The child she had painstakingly raised, she hoped to give Sophie the best of everything.

That affection built on countless days and nights, not weaker than blood relations, made it impossible for Emma to endure right now.

Sophie, forcing a smile that seemed like crying, said: "It’s okay, Ms. Lewis, I’m fine. He asked the driver to send me back. It was my carelessness going too far, making you all worry."

"What do you mean okay? Sophie, don’t be so spineless. What’s so great about Godfery Shaw? Why do we need to suck up to him? We can just do without him!"

Sophie’s eyes gradually turned red, and her long-contained emotions seemed really uncontrollable: "Mrs. Lewis, really... there’s no need."

Seeing this, Robert Reed quickly stepped forward: "Emma, calm down. Why are you losing your temper at a child?"

Robert Reed tried to take Sophie from Emma’s arms.

But Emma wouldn’t let go, holding Sophie away from Robert Reed’s hands. She impulsively turned to leave: "Calm down, my ass. If Godfery Shaw can’t give a satisfactory explanation today, I won’t mind stabbing him again to wake him up!"

Emma was truly angry.

The child she had cared for so carefully all these years was abandoned by Godfery Shaw time and again.

Who did he think he was!

Why should he be!

Emma never mentioned the past in front of Sophie, but at this moment, her anger made her speak thoughtlessly.

Sophie’s eyes, which were already red, finally burst with the tears she had been holding back.

Large tears rolled down as Sophie cried: "Mrs. Lewis, I was wrong. I don’t want Daddy anymore. Don’t be mad. I won’t look for him again..."

Sophie was not one to cry easily.

The day she was born, weak and barely surviving, she didn’t cry.

Later, with Robert Reed and Emma caring for her, this child endured hardships most children never faced, taking medicine, getting injections, and staying in hospitals, yet she never liked to cry.

The older she got, the more optimistic she became.

But now, she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

That uncontrollable sorrow made everyone present teary-eyed.

Robert Reed stepped forward to take Sophie, scolding: "Emma, what on earth are you doing? Give me the child. You’re scaring her."

Emma, almost losing her reason in anger, saw Sophie’s continuous tears, and Emma calmed down.

Robert Reed took Sophie from Emma and softly consoled her: "It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s not Sophie’s fault, Sophie’s not wrong, we’ll go home."

Emma pressed her lips tightly.

Basil Smith stepped forward and gently patted Emma’s shoulder to comfort her.

Everyone got into the car to head back to Ink Manor.

Basil instinctively wanted to follow, but reason stopped him; he still had to find the Young Master.

He needed to see what was going on with the Young Master. If today’s issue wasn’t handled well, the Young Madam would be even less inclined to return to the Young Master’s side.

Nancy Allen came silently and left silently.

At this moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Usually, the child liked to stick to her, but when truly upset, the child only relied on the closest people.

Sophie grew up with Robert Reed and Emma.

At such times, Nancy couldn’t get close.

Sophie cried herself to sleep leaning on Robert Reed.

Emma said nothing, looking even sadder than Sophie.

Everyone returned to Ink Manor.

Robert Reed carried Sophie upstairs, only saying in a low voice: "We’ll talk about anything after the child wakes up."

Emma nodded in despair.

Nancy looked at Emma, who had been wanting to speak ever since she returned, and finally couldn’t hold back her words.

She took out a notebook and wrote: "I’m sorry."

Emma, agitated, said: "This isn’t your fault. Why are you blaming yourself?"

"Not about this." Nancy shook her head and continued writing: "When I returned, I wanted to apologize to you, but I didn’t know where to start. I owe you too much."

Emma looked at Nancy in confusion.

Words appeared on the notebook, large paragraphs written quickly but not very steadily.

"I’m sorry, it was me who restrained you back then. I remember your dream was to join the army, and you worked hard to complete your studies for it. But at the last moment, I gave Sophie to you, knowing it was a responsibility, a burden, but with no better options, I selfishly entrusted her to you."

The day she returned, Nancy knew that over the years, Emma had not joined the army.

She initially thought that by entrusting the child to Emma, Emma could have her family care for her, or hire someone to care, as Emma was easygoing and didn’t seem like someone who would care for a child.

But Nancy never imagined that over the years, Emma, alongside the teacher, had personally looked after Sophie.

After graduation, Emma gave up her dream, agreeing to gradually take over her father’s business, on the sole condition of temporarily staying in Riverwood City.

It was Nancy who shackled the freedom of Emma.

Five years ago, her determination to face death was because she couldn’t allow herself to live properly, but Emma shouldn’t have had to pay for her selfishness.

Seeing Emma so distraught over Sophie’s situation, Nancy finally said the words, "I’m sorry."

Emma watched Nancy, her earlier agitation gradually calming down.

Nancy lowered her head.

Emma spoke: "Nancy, about entrusting Sophie to me back then, you don’t have to blame yourself, nor do you owe me anything. Every choice I made was my own decision."

At this point, Emma’s expression became serious: "The person you owe isn’t me, it’s not even Godfery Shaw. The only person you owe is Sophie."

Emma almost never spoke to Nancy so seriously.

But with today’s matter regarding Sophie, her emotions were somewhat uncontrollable, so she said it.

Seeing Nancy listening intently, Emma continued: "Back then, my promise to raise Sophie was my own decision. Godfery Shaw wanting to join you in suicide was his decision, so you owe neither me nor him. But what about Sophie? You brought her into this world by force. Did you think giving her life meant you’ve done enough?"
