Chapter 104: A Misunderstanding That Will Never Be Resolved
When Sophia arrived, Linda was crying hysterically.
Loud, furious arguing erupted from upstairs. Henry and Father Reynolds were locked in a heated confrontation, each shouting louder than the other.
"Sophia, please go upstairs and talk to Henry, he can't treat his father like this!" Linda cried, -running towards Sophia.
Linda was always cheerful and optimistic. Seeing her in this state showed just how badly Henry had behaved.
Sophia steadied Linda and helped her to the sofa.
"What happened?"
"It started with a work argument, but it escalated. They started dredging up the past," Lindal sobbed, clutching her chest. "He said... he said if he could choose, he wouldn't have been born into the Reynolds family, wouldn't want to be our son." "How could he say that? Does he know he's stabbing us in the heart?"
Sophia frowned. She'd spent six months with Father and Mother Reynolds and genuinely felt they were wonderful parents.
Henry stormed down the stairs, his face dark. Seeing Sophia, his anger intensified, and he headed. for the door.
"Henry! Don't go! Listen to your mother, it wasn't Dad and Mom's fault. It was Zoey Smith..." She's dead, and you still want to blame everything on her? Henry roared.
Linda was startled by his outburst."Son, you... you'd rather believe her than your father and me?" "I don't believe anyone!" he spat.
"You want to cut ties with us? Fine, fine, leave, leave now, and never come back!" Father Reynolds shouted from the top of the stairs. "Don't you dare chase my son away!" Linda yelled at Father Reynolds.
Father Reynolds slammed his fist on the banister, furious. "Am I chasing him away? He's chasing "us" away! He doesn't want us!" "Apologize to him..."
"No way!"
"Son, say something nice to your father..."
"Absolutely not!"
Linda felt faint from the stress."Are you two trying to kill me?"
Henry took a deep breath and continued towards the door.
