Chapter 82: Betrayal is a Death Sentence.

Hearing her say this, Sean remained unconvinced.

"I remember clearly that you don't like cilantro. When we eat out, if they put it in your food, you make me pick it out." Sophia was startled, but she didn't show it.

""You must be mistaken."

Sean frowned, racking his brain.

"Maybe it was Rose who doesn't like cilantro. Like last time, I got it wrong. She loves taro cake, and I thought you did."

"So Rose and I have very different tastes," Sophia commented.

Sophia took the dumpling soup from him, sipping it with the cilantro. "You seasoned it perfectly. It's delicious."

Sean shrugged."I guess I was wrong.

The room at the end of the hall, where the piano sat, was lit up. Sophia's heart pounded, but she took a deep breath and walked over. She saw Sean sitting on the floor with his back to the door, staring blankly at the piano. "Honey?" she called out.

Sean didn't respond, as if he hadn't heard her.

She went in, knelt beside him, seeing his dazed expression. She was slightly scared.

"Honey?" she called again.

This time, Sean snapped back to reality, his eyes showing confusion when he saw her.
