Chapter 253

Sophia hugged her tightly with a heart full of tenderness, gently stroking her shoulders and back, whispering soothing words into her ear.

"Everything's okay, sweetie, I'm here."

The soft comfort gradually calmed Theresa down.

The sobbing in her arms also slowly stopped.

But Theresa didn't get up, still cuddling Sophia like a little koala, reluctant to let go.

Sophia didn't rush her, just held her quietly, letting her cling on.

After a while, Theresa finally mustered the strength to lift her head from Sophia's embrace, her eyes and nose still a bit red, her little mouth pouting slightly in a sulk, but the tears had stopped.

Sophia pulled out a tissue and gently wiped away the remaining tears from Theresa's eyes before softly asking her, "Did something bum you out, Theresa?"

Theresa paused for a moment, as if digesting the words "bum you out," then nodded slightly. "Mhm."

"What's got you down?" Sophia inquired.

Theresa looked at her with a bit of a lost expression, unable to put her feelings into words.

Sophia encouraged her with a patient look, not hurrying her.

Theresa's language skills had developed super early.

She, along with Susan and Grace, had always consciously trained and nurtured her ability to speak, teaching her patiently about the world and guiding her to express herself.

Both Sophia and Brandon were the scholarly type, with sharp memories, and it seemed Theresa had inherited their smarts, showing signs of outshining them with her language and memory skills, even at her tender age.

But when it came to expressing complex emotions, Theresa was obviously still a rookie.

She pondered for a while, then said with a quivering lip, "Unkie."
