Chapter 100
When Xavian was about to yell at Sophia, he saw the adorable smile on her face. He realized the anger in him instantly disappeared.
“When you came out... Did you tell your dad and mom? They would be worried if they can’t find you,” Xavian softened his voice as he asked.
Sophia sneaked out to come and look for Natalie.
She had been to Natalie‘s house once with Franklin, but she could not remember the exact location of Natalie‘s house. Therefore, she could only roam around the area, hoping to see Natalie when she returned home.
Now that Sophia had met Xavian, she knew that she would be able to see Natalie if she followed him home.
With that thought, she tugged Xavian‘s hand and stared at him pitifully.

“.... W–want... to see... Natalie...”
“She‘s my mommy.” Xavian raised an eyebrow and added, “I won‘t share my mommy with you even if you whine here. It won‘t work on me. There‘s already another person who‘s stealing my mommy in my home. Stop making things worse for me.”
“X–Xavian...
Xavian was younger than Clayton, so Clayton was his elder brother.
He always wished that Natalie had given birth to a little sister instead of Clayton, who was such a sly person.
When Sophia called him by his name, it completely melted his heart.
“W–What did you call me?”
Sophia smiled at Xavian and replied, “Xavian...”
Even though her voice sounded sweet, the smile on her face appeared sweeter. Xavian smiled as well after looking at her expression.
He tried to hide the smile on his face before he said, “I heard your stomach growling. You must be hungry. I’ll buy you something to eat at the convenience store.”
“Okay.”
“Don‘t think that whining works. I just don‘t want to see you starve.”
However, Xavian‘s speech contradicted his actions. He bought plenty of food for Sophia in the convenience store.
How dare this man call me shamelessly after what he did to me last night? Forget it! Your true intentions were revealed last night!
