Chapter 1600

Bertha didn’t want to discuss Sophia any longer with her daughter. “That’s enough, Lea. Stop talking about it and go play with Tristan.”

Lea shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Tristan, who was playing with his toys on the couch. “Mom, I think Tristan seems a bit different from the last time we met.”

Lea tilted her head, feeling a bit frustrated. “He used to be a very introverted kid. He didn’t talk much and rarely smiled. But today, he was a bit shy at first and then began to talk a lot.”
