Charmaine belatedly realized what she said, but it was too late to retract her words.

“Sophie, no matter what, we’re still a family. I hope this matter isn’t related to you,” Charmaine said in the end.

“Ha!” Sophie couldn’t help but snort out loud. “I don’t have a family like you.”

After all, Charmaine had never sided with her. Not even once.

How dare she suspect I did something to Willow?

With that said, Sophie cut the line instantly, not bothering to entertain the woman any longer.

No matter what she said, Charmaine still wouldn’t trust her. Thus, it was pointless for her to try and change Charmaine’s mind.

Seeing that, Tristan took her hand and pulled her into his arms. “What’s the matter?”

“I’m fine,” came Sophie’s answer. She wasn’t about to let unimportant people affect her mood. That was absolutely unnecessary.

“You don’t look like you’re fine,” Tristan replied. She seems to be in a bad mood.

“Willow is missing, and my mom thinks I did it,” Sophie revealed nonchalantly. “Tell me. Am I that free?”

“Oh, I see.” Tristan snorted. Charmaine is indeed a loathsome woman.

“Since she’s not important, don’t be angry at her. It’s not worth it. Go take a shower. I’ll give you a massage later,” he urged.

She had rehearsed for a long time and should be exhausted.

Sophie snuggled into the couch and didn’t feel like moving. “I don’t feel like taking a shower!”

Tristan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw how adorable she looked.

“Be good. Take a shower and go to bed. Just ignore those nobodies,” he comforted her.

Meeting his affectionate gaze, Sophie couldn’t bring herself to say no. She climbed up from her spot on the couch and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
