"I am sorry, I still have plenty of things to do..." Sophia's voice sounded like it was coming from nowhere.
It did not feel very genuine, but Brandon was relieved that she hadn't changed so much.
After all these years, she was still the same girl he remembered in his memory.
Sophia boarded the bus, panting, and refused to look out the window.
‘Just let it go” Sophia thought to herself and continued, ‘we all have been living well these past five years; it would be better if we had nothing left to do with each other’’
She was mentally drained with all of these.
Maria was feeling a bit sick today. She called Sophia before she left work and asked her to pick up Emma.
Sophia was exhausted as a result of her mother's illness.Her only two hours of free time in the afternoon, from 5 to 7 PM, were likewise taken up.Her mother was seated on the sofa when she arrived home with Emma.
Only the sound of the kettle in the kitchen boiling water could be heard because the TV was turned off.
"Wash your hands and then go do your homework" Sophia advised Emma after noticing Maria's solemn expression.
"Mom and your grandmother will talk for a while, okay?" she added.
Sophia sat beside her mother as Emma walked away respectfully.
"Is everything okay, Mom?" Maria sighed, her tone filled with dread.
"I do not know how long my illness will persist.Sweetie, mom only wants you to live a happy life.Your Aunt Kate just came in and stated that you and Finn just broke up? Tell me the truth, haven't you forgotten about him yet?"
Her words had emphasis, and Sophia knew who she was pertaining to, but she chose to evade that last question.
"Mom...Finn does not like me"
Sophia grimaced, "So, I don't want to waste any more time with him.Besides, Emma and I already depend on each other to continue living, and I no longer look forward to having a perfect marriage with the perfect husband these days.It's all good."
"Then use your mother's good health to have the wedding early and try to make Finn like you as much as possible"
It seemed that her aunt Kate, who lived next door, nagged a lot to her mother about her relationship with Finn.
In the past, Maria forced Sophia into dating Finn, but she would not have imagined that it would go so far as to make them assertively marry each other.
"Mom, Finn, and I are not cut out for each other...Sophia was afraid to confront her mother with facts.She was terrified that she might become enraged once more.If something were to happen, she knew she would take it on herself.
"How are you so sure that the two of you are not compatible? As long as you can communicate well with each other, it will be great! At your age, you do not have to worry about love.It is more important to find a decent guy to marry!" said Maria in a concerned tone.
Sophia took her mother's hand and casually said, "I know.Do not worry about it.I will indeed live a wonderful life."
She then continued, "Mom, I do not have enough time.I will have to go first."
