The car window slowly descended, revealing a familiar face. Catherine was stunned to see the man in the car.
Sophia was very excited when she saw him and she smiled brightly, “Daddy.”
Anderson glanced at the slender woman standing by the road side. He said coldly, “Get in.”
Catherine didn’t move, but Sophia already stepped towards the car and tried to open the door. She tried pulling the door open, but she still couldn’t open it.
She turned around looking at Catherine, “Mommy, aren’t we going to sleep?”
Catherine bent down and gently said to Sophia, “Mommy will take you to a hotel, okay?”
Sophia pursed her little lips as tears almost fell down her cheeks, “But I want to be with Daddy too.”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Anderson muttered, “Catherine, let’s see if there’s any hotel in City W who dares to take you in.”
Catherine stiffened her body as she clenched her fist. It was him who caused her to be homeless and wandering on the streets now. How could he act like nothing was wrong?
“Mommy.” Sophia sounded as if she was going to cry.
“Catherine, you know Sophia’s health condition isn’t well.”
Catherine’s face immediately turned pale when she heard Anderson’s words and pulled the door open.
Sophia quickly got into the car and pounced on Anderson, “Daddy, I miss you so much!”
Anderson was seldom this close to children, so he frowned subconsciously.
“Sophia, come here.” Catherine pulled Sophia into her embrace and hugged her tightly.
Sophia looked at Anderson’s expression and didn’t dare to speak anymore after seeing him frown. She laid in Catherine’s arms and murmured softly, “Mommy, doesn’t Daddy like me?”
Catherine kept quiet. He just didn’t like her, so he disliked the children that she had given birth to as well.
She patted Sophia’s head to comfort her, “No.”
Sophia raised her head and looked at Catherine with her bright eyes, “Why doesn’t Daddy hug me then?”
“He’s not used to hugging people. He’s afraid of dropping you.” Catherine secretly thought in her mind that if it was Isabella’s child, he would definitely spoil her like a princess.
So, Daddy was afraid that she would fall.
Sophia put on a smile again and looked at Anderson in excitement, “Daddy, I’m not scared of falling.”
Anderson remained silent and the atmosphere in the car was extremely cold.
Catherine felt a numb in her heart, but she didn’t show any emotions out and said softly, “Sophia should sleep now, otherwise you wouldn’t wake up for school tomorrow.”
Sophia felt something was wrong too. Her father really didn’t seem to like her.
She grievously laid in Catherine’s arms.
She soon fell asleep under Catherine’s comfort. The car was so quiet that they could only hear Sophia’s sleeping breath.
She and Anderson sat next to each other.
But it was as if a galaxy was in between them, no one bothered to start a conversation. When their eyes met sometimes, they looked disgusted at each other.
The person who broke the silence was the driver, Paul.
“Young master, we’ve reached Ziting Villa.”
Anderson got out of the car and walked away.
Catherine hugged Sophia in her arms and followed behind him. She looked pitiful as she walked in pain with her high heels.
Paul couldn’t watch it anymore, “Ms. Johnson, let me hug Sophia for you.”
Anderson stopped his steps, and Paul thought his boss had realized his conscience.
“Are you the mother of the child or she is?”
