I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 2

Six years later…

“Mommy, Lincoln doesn’t want to go to school again.” Sophia darted into the study room and dived into her arms. She complained weakly and even secretly turned around to see whether her elder brother followed her or not after that. Making sure her elder brother was not around, she then extended her short arms and hugged Catherine, acting cute. “I don’t care, if Lincoln doesn’t want to go to school, so do I.”

Catherine kissed her on the cheek and said, “Whenever your exam result has surpassed your brother’s, you won’t have to go to school anymore.” Little Sophia instantly pulled down her face. “Sophia, stop disturbing mommy.” Lincoln held a cup of water and handed to Catherine. He touched her forehead and glanced at the manuscript on the computer screen. “Mommy, have you burnt the midnight oil to draw again?”

“No, I’ve just gotten up from bed.”

“Mommy’s lying again.” Lincoln behaved like a mature adult and said, “You don’t have to work that hard, I’ll quickly earn money to raise you.” Sophia raised her head and smiled sweetly. “Me too, mommy. Can I not go to school?”

Catherine felt amused and her heart ached at the same time. When she was sent to the hospital back then, she was diagnosed as pregnant and after giving birth to the two children, she had continued serving the sentence for three years while bringing them up. After that, not knowing how Owen Torres did it, she was bailed out of jail.

Although they were twins, both children had totally different personalities. Little Lincoln was smart and sensitive like a mature adult. He could detect her slight change in mood whereas Sophia was always straightforward and reckless. She was a loving and adorable little girl.

Both children looked more and more like Anderson. Sophia was still okay because she liked to act cute and her temperament placed a huge contrast between her and Anderson. Whereas, Lincoln was exactly the tiny version of Anderson in other’s eyes. However, there were no disgust, indifference and impatience in his eyes which was similar to Anderson’s, but only admiration and care. The two kids were her saviors when she was amidst immense hatred.

“Mommy, Sophia will raise you at home, Sophia doesn’t want to go to school.” Catherine shook her head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts. “No. If you don’t go to school, no job would want you, then how would you be able to raise mommy? Hurry up and get down the bed and have your meal with Owen, I’ll send both of you to school.”

Being rejected straight away, Sophia pouted. She walked towards Lincoln reluctantly and said, “Lincoln, could you take a sick leave during the exam next time? Then I’ll be able to surpass you and I don’t have to go to school anymore, please…”

When Catherine was bringing the two kids out, Owen was putting on his blazer. Catherine glimpsed at the time. It was just seven o’clock. “Going that soon?”

“Something’s happened in the company and I need to solve it. Send me a message to report your safety after sending the kids to school.” Catherine shook her head in grievance when she heard Owen’s order. “It’s gonna be alright. It’s been six years, Anderson has already forgotten my existence.”
