Tristan walked to Sophie’s side and held her hand.

“That’s enough. Stop overthinking for you have done your best. They’re the ones who won’t get their act together.”

There really was no need for Sophie to take the blame as nothing was her fault.

Charmaine had always favored Willow, but considering Willow’s personality, things wouldn’t get better if they let her be.

Thus, Sophie did nothing wrong.

Willow was the type of person who would never reflect on herself. In fact, Sophie was already very lenient toward her.

“I’m fine. I just miss Grandpa.” Knowing that Tristan was concerned about her, Sophie forced herself to flash him a smile.

“You don’t have to force a smile in front of me if you don’t feel like it. You’ve sent her to the rehabilitation center, so stop worrying now,” Tristan coaxed. He knew Sophie must feel terrible. Although they were on bad terms, Charmaine was Sophie’s mother, after all.

He then prompted, “Let’s go home.”

It had been snowing heavily in Jipsdale for two days. The temperature that day fell below zero, and Sophie’s body was cold after staying outdoors for so long.

“All right. Let’s go home.”

Not wanting to worry Tristan, Sophie trailed behind him without a word. The steps leading down the mountain were slippery due to the snow, so he grabbed her hand tightly and guided her slowly.

Despite the slippery ground, Tristan’s steps were steady, just like the feeling he always gave her—calm and reliable, as if she could depend on him for the rest of her life.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Tristan started the car and turned on the heater. It was only then that Sophie began to warm up.

“Drink some water.”

Tristan had brought a thermos filled with hot water for Sophie.
