Olivia squinted at Aria. She didn't expect Aria would change sides so soon.
Sophia smiled at Aria and said, "I forgave you when I got you out of the Riley manor. You were just used by someone after all, so I'm not mad at you."
"But I did a lot of bad things to you..." said Aria.
"And you have been punished, haven't you?" said Sophia.
That was true!
Aria looked up at her and asked, "So, we're still friends?"
Sophia smiled. "Yes, we are."
Finally, a smile came over Aria's face.
It was great for her to hear that they were still friends.
Luckily, Aria was the only person in the Riley family whom Sophia was willing to wipe the slate clean with.
Surely, Sophia's family would not intervene in her friendship.
Many people tried to get closer to Sophia, but her brothers soon stopped them.
Although it was her banquet, she would be fatigued if people kept talking to her.
Sophia got something to say to Charles, "Charles, Mom says that you are off-duty this month!"
"Yes, I have brought my luggage here. I will live with you during this month." Charles was quiet, different from Travis who was cool and distant.
Only Sophia could make Charles utter a few words.
Sophia said in a sweet voice, "Great. You have stayed in the research institute since I entered the university. It's been a long time. So, we should spend a good time together."
"OK!"
Laura said jealously, "I'm really regretful to give birth to Sophia. I used to be the priority. And now, you just give all your love to her."
"Charles chooses to stay with his sister instead of me during his month-long vacation. What an ingrate!"
Sophia ran to Laura and said, "Mom, don't be jealous. Though they like staying with me, they love you. And I love you, too."
Then, Sophia kissed her on the face.
Laura just said such words deliberately like it was a joke between mother and daughter.
But she did feel a bit jealous. After all, it was hard for Charles to have a holiday, but he chose to stay in Sealand with Sophia.
"You're really good at comforting me. Hurry back after you have your business done here. I miss you so much." Laura gently jabbed at Sophia's forehead with her finger.
And Sophia wrapped her arms around Laura's waist and said, "I got it, Mom. I will be with you forever."
"You sweetheart!" Laura shook her head resignedly.
Obviously, the Lawsons had good relationships.
And the reason why Sophia was an innocent girl was clear. Her family, even other members of top four families in Pinkerton, doted on her so much that she became the most harmless girl in the world.
