Sophia remembered how Fabian looked. He did appear as if he had gotten hurt in a relationship. I guess it doesn’t matter whether one is a man or a woman. A relationship is like a hurdle; not anyone can get over it easily.
John spoke up next to her. “What’s Fabian doing now? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
Sophia’s godmother looked at John. “I haven’t seen him recently either. That boy comes and goes without leaving so much as a message. He doesn’t even bother to sit down and listen to us talk. I really don’t know what to do.”
Sophia blinked. “He did actually send me messages these two days.”
However, she couldn’t make head nor tail of Fabian’s seemingly random messages. Once, he suddenly asked her if she had eaten lunch yet. After Sophia replied to his message, all she got was silence.
Sometimes, she would even get a message from him along the lines of ‘take care of yourself’ in the middle of the night. When Sophia called him, the line would connect, but the background was relatively noisy. He said he was drinking outside. So, she thought that he had sent her the message in a drunken state.
Sophia’s godmother was a little excited when she heard that Fabian had texted Sophia. “Did he really text you? This boy! I thought he had run away from home and no longer wished to contact us.”
Sophia thought for a while before replying, “I don’t think so. Sometimes, I could hear that there were many people with him. He’s probably having fun with them and he should be living well.”
When her godmother heard this, she pursed her lips. “He is taking it out on us. Looks like he’s still blaming us for everything that happened.”
Thus, Sophia decided not to ask any further. After all, this was their own private matter.
When everyone had slowly finished lunch, they went to the sofa to sit and drink tea.
The young ladies who came were very shy. After chatting with Sophia for a while, they stopped talking.
Sophia didn’t have a very outgoing personality, so she didn’t have much to say either.
