Chapter 25 Closer Than A Biological Mother
Franklin glanced at Sophia and said weakly, “Sophia, am I hallucinating from missing her too much?”
Sophia shook her head. Her eyes were filled with joy as she got up and ran toward the door.
She stood on her toes and unlocked the door.
As the door clicked open, Natalie saw Sophia wearing a yellow tutu skirt.
She was holding a teddy bear in her arms. It had a pair of dark eyes that glistened as beautifully as Sophia’s.
“Sophia…”
As Natalie uttered those words, the tears in Sophia’s eyes rolled down her little cheeks.
Not only that, the little girl hugged Natalie’s leg as tightly as she could.
With that, she let everything out and cried.
Natalie’s heart melted immediately, and her mind was in a mess.
She immediately knelt down and held Sophia in her arms to comfort her. “Don’t cry. I’m here now.”
There was no stopping Sophia. Even though Natalie was comforting her, she kept on weeping.
Natalie felt a sting in her heart as she held the sobbing little girl.
Meanwhile, Franklin put up a tough act before walking over to Natalie.
“What took you so long? Don’t you know how hard it was for me to wait for you? Why must I be the one to call you all the time? Can’t you call or visit us voluntarily?”
Natalie was at a loss for words.
“There won’t be a next time! Don’t let me do this again. It’s a struggle to starve.”
Natalie looked at Sophia and then at Franklin. She could feel her heart swell with love and sadness.
