For Sophie, May's attitude was firm. She would never let her take any advantage of the Tanner family. May hated and resisted Sophie as much as she was nice and trusted Sophie before.
"Mom, let's go back to the house." Sky did not want to talk about this matter here, after all, Bright and Rose were here.
"I will go back to the house, but she can't." May's tone was firm.
"Mom, don't give me a hard time, will you? Sky looked at her grabbing Sophie tightly, and frowned.
"Sky, it's you who give me a hard time." May remained stern. "If she enters the house, don't recognize me as your mother."
When Sophie heard what May said, she felt flustered and afraid. She was afraid that Sky would compromise and abandon her.
"Sky... Don't... don't leave me alone..." Tears rolled down from the corners of Sophie's eyes. She looked so pity that anyone wanted to protect her.
Sky patted her hand, "Wait for me here."
"Sky." Sophie didn't want to let go of Sky.
But Sky let go of her hand, "Listen to me. Be good."
Sophie could only stay there waiting. That was all she could do.
"Mom, let's have a talk," Sky stepped forward and said to his mother.
"I don't have time to talk about her now. It's a waste of time." May refused Sky's request, but invited Rose and Bright again, "Rose, Mr. Lee, now that you have come here, please come in."
"Ms. May, you'd better settle down your domestic affairs first. I'll ask you out next time, OK?" Rose didn't want to get involved and make Sophie hate her even more.
In fact, she was not afraid that Sophie would hate her. She had lived a better life now and didn't want Bright to be unhappy.
Since Rose refused again and again, May didn't force them to stay any longer. Although she was reluctant to let them go, she could only watch Rose and Bright leave.
May watched their car disappear into the darkness, with tears glistening under her eyes.
"Mom..." Sky called out.
May withdrew her eyes and turned away to enter the house.
"Mom." Sky followed her.
"I don't want to talk to you about her," said May without looking back.
Sophie carefully opened the door, followed Sky all the way until she came to the gate. She was already wet all over by the rain.
The rain dripped down her hair that stuck to her face, and her face was already white.
When May entered the room, Sky looked at Sophie and said, "Sophie, my mother is angry now. When she calmed down, I will talk to her about us."
Sky grabbed Sophie and frowned, "Don't be impulsive. Let me solve the matter."
"Sky, let me try. I won't give up till I try." Sophie looked up at him. "I can handle it."
Sophie wanted to get rid of Sky's hand, but he didn't let go.
Sophie knelt down in front of May, but it wouldn't change May's opinion of her at all.
"This won't work for me." May took a sip of warm water, ignoring Sophie's low posture.
"Mom, I was wrong, terribly wrong. I'm sorry for the Tanner family and Sky, but I will correct my mistakes. I really love Sky, and I can do anything for him, as long as you don't drive me out of here. Mom, please don't drive me out." Sophie took two steps forward on her knees, closer to May.
"This child is really Sky's baby, the descendant of the Tanner family. Let's give the child a complete family, shall we?"
May put down her glass of water and rose, "I am tired and want to rest. You can kneel outside the gate as long as you want. Don't disturb me."
"You hurt Rose before, and now you hurt us. What you did were despicable and you know it. Do you think that we will have to re-accept you when you make things right? Never! In short, I will never accept you." May got up and headed for the stairs.
Sophie knelt where she was, looking at May's indifferent back, feeling desperate. May was now the biggest obstacle for her to return to Sky.
"Get up." Sky reached out and helped Sophie up. "You will only anger my mother even more. Listen to me. I'll take you to your hotel."
As soon as Sophie got up, she suddenly blacked out and fell into Sky's arms.
