Sophia tried to analyze the situation from Stanley’s words; Irene hadn’t been able to remember Michael and got together with Joel. Irene couldn’t remember Michael, but he could remember her! If Michael saw Joel and Irene together in a while, he would be so sad!

Becoming worried all of a sudden, Sophia quickened her pace forward; both Stanley and Nathan were anxious about their uncle and father as well. The three of them walked quickly and soon spotted Michael’s car.

However, Michael had already gotten out of the car; he was also wearing glasses with a wide frame and a black top hat that almost covered half of his face. Meanwhile, Irene and Joel were standing directly in front of him.

They were holding hands, whereas Michael stood there alone.

Sophia immediately quickened her pace and walked to his side, listening in to their conversation.

Holding onto Joel, Irene looked at Michael and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you are Joel’s younger brother, Mr. Taylor. I really didn’t think of it! My apologies!”

Michael’s wide-framed glasses were blocking his expression. His voice sounded indifferent as he said, “Nice to meet you too.”

The atmosphere was harmonious, and nothing was off.

However, Sophia was stunned.

In that moment, Michael must’ve felt really uncomfortable. Nothing was more cruel than saying ‘nice to meet you’ to someone he once loved—or might even still love.

 

Michael must be heartbroken now, but he pretended to be okay so he could save his last bit of dignity.

The entanglement between Michael, Joel, and Irene must be deeper than Sophia could ever imagine, and it was impossible for her to see through nor intervene.

 

Sophia didn’t know anything about Michael’s past, and she had no idea what happened to him. In fact, she was always an outsider to him because he had never seemed to open his heart to her.

But now, Sophia wanted to help him! She didn’t want him to face it alone!

Hence, she squeezed Nathan’s little hand and whispered, “Go to your father.”

No longer being uncooperative, Nathan smiled sweetly and ran over like a butterfly, throwing himself into Michael’s arms as he yelled loudly, “Daddy!”

Michael embraced Nathan—who had come running all of a sudden—and noticed Sophia at a glance.
