Chapter 230

Ivan chuckled and gave her head a gentle pat, "What a good girl."

After saying goodbye to her and a quick farewell to Grace, he finally took off.

Grace escorted Theresa home, and as soon as they pushed open the door, they spotted Sophia, lost in thought with her chin propped on her hand, a pen still in her grasp, sitting at the living room's large desk.

Theresa beamed and called out to her, "Mommy!" With that, she excitedly threw herself into Sophia's arms.

Sophia scooped her up onto her lap and looked down at her, "Where did you go today?"

"To grab toys with Handsome Unkie," she said cheerfully.

Sophia remembered the time during the party the company threw at the villa when she video called Theresa, and Theresa had excitedly referred to Brandon as "Handsome Unkie" on the video.

"Do you still remember him, Theresa?" Sophia inquired.

Theresa nodded vigorously, "Yeah."

"And did you have fun with him?" Sophia continued.

"Yes." Theresa said, nodding her head emphatically as if to ensure Sophia believed her. She then stretched her arms wide to illustrate, "Grabbed so many, so many toys."

As she spoke, she slid off Sophia's lap, eager to show her the pile of stuffed animals that Grace had brought to the sofa.

"You're amazing." Sophia praised, then turned to Theresa, "He is pretty amazing too, right?"

Again, Theresa nodded strongly, "Yep, amazing."
