S31 10. Sophia’s Misfortune

“Louis is naughty. Does he think I’m an adult? I’m not even as old as Brandon,” Emily grumbled in annoyance.

So please, share your worries with me. It can make you feel more relieved. If not, I would be very worried about your health.”

The longer Diana stared at Sophia, the greater tremor spread through her body. Before the tea in her hand spilled, she quickly put the cup on
