Her measured response was well received by Russell.

“It’s good that you like them.”

Sofie smiled in satisfaction and thought about launching another round of compliments for the four kids.

Russell halted him in his tracks. “Your father and I will go to them. You shall keep Sofie company.”

With that, he gave Jonathan a look and the two of them made their exit.
