The comments reached Sonia’s ears as well, but she just smiled and didn’t take them to heart because she had heard such things countless times.

Confused, Carl looked at her smiling face and asked, “Aren’t you angry, Sonia?”

“They’re speaking so badly about you.” Narrowing his eyes, Carl scanned the gossip-mongers as though he wanted to memorize their faces.

Not knowing what was on his mind, Sonia patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s alright, I know you feel unjustified for me, but you shouldn’t be bothered since I’m not even angry about it. Just let them be. They’re simply a bunch of gossip-mongers, and we don’t have to stoop to their level.”

Grinning, Carl nodded. “Alright.”
