Her answer elicited a stare from Old Mrs. Constance, for her husband told her before that Sophia’s parents dumped her. However, she wasn’t certain why Sophia’s parents did such a thing.

Sophia smiled. “I’m fine. It’s good to be alone as I don’t have to provide for my family. It’s easier this way.”

Feeling sorry for her, Old Mrs. Blackwell tightened her grip on Sophia’s hands. Since it was an unhappy topic, Old Mrs. Constance hurriedly talked about something else. As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere slowly became eased.
