Chapter 411

In Crestwood, Gilbert found it odd how Jenna never stopped talking about her mom but never mentioned her dad. Today, she had asked such a peculiar question.

“Jenna…” Gilbert was about to delve deeper when suddenly, “Jenna!” The loud call startled them. It was Sophia!

She had been vigilantly watching over them, afraid to blink. Little did she expect a stranger to approach!

“Hey!” Panting from her run, Sophia scooped up Jenna and glared furiously at Gilbert.

“And who might you be? Chatting up someone else’s kid? Got screws loose?”

Without waiting for Gilbert’s explanation, Sophia turned on her heel and ran as if Gilbert were some sort of bogeyman.

As she spoke, tears started to well up in Sophia’s eyes.

“You, my dear, are your mother’s whole world!”
