Chapter 289

Feeling Sofia’s pain, Stephanie didn’t know what to say. This wasn’t something that could be fixed with just a few comforting

words.

Without thinking, Stephanie asked, “Are you sure it was Dan?”

‘If it was really Dan, how could he treat her like that? And how does someone just forget everything? If he didn’t recognize her, then he’s definitely not Dan,‘ she thought.

Stephanie remembered the phone call between Sebastian and Sofia carlier and realized Sebastian had known the guy was in Sandara the whole time. He knew how much that guy meant to Sofia, yet he never told her anything about it.

‘Could this guy just look like Dan? But if that was the case, why would Sebastian share any info about him with Sofia?‘ Stephanie thought, still confused.

But then, Sofia’s voice suddenly became sharp. “I’m sure. Even if he turned to ashes, I’d still recognize him. That’s him. I’m not wrong.”

A person, who was been deep in one’s heart for so long, could never be mistaken.

Hearing that, Stephanie went quiet. She thought, ‘So, it really was Dan, but now he had a fiancée in Sandara!

Stephanie hugged Sofia, resting her chin on her shoulder. “So, what are you gonna do now?”

What worried Stephanie most was that Sofia might be so overwhelmed by this that she’d do something rash.

Sofia didn’t answer right away. Her body stiffened, and she closed her to break through. “I don’t know.”

out of nowhere, she found out he was alive and who lost everything.

Then suddenly, Sofia pulled her arms away, turned, and flashed a bright smile.

Stephanie just stared at her in shock. She’d never seen someone change moods so quickly. One second, Sofia was shaking with sadness, and the next, she was smiling so brightly.

Sofia grabbed the dress from the bed again and picked a shiny necklace from the jewelry pile. “This one looks nice, too.”

Stephanie was still in disbelief over how quickly Sofia’s mood had changed.

“What’s Dan got to do with jewelry? These things I gave you have nothing to do with him,” Sofia said, starting to take Stephanie’s clothes off.

The room was warm, and by now, Stephanie had already taken off her jacket. She was just wearing a sweater, but Sofia didn’t hesitate and pulled it off.
