For Sophie, May's attitude was firm. She would never let her take any advantage of the Tanner family.
May hated and resisted Sophie as much as she was nice and trusted Sophie before.
"Mom, let's go back to the house." Sky did not want to talk about this matter here, after all, Bright and
Rose were here.
"I will go back to the house, but she can't." May's tone was firm.
"Mom, don't give me a hard time, will you? Sky looked at her grabbing Sophie tightly, and frowned.
"Sky, it's you who give me a hard time." May remained stern. "If she enters the house, don't recognize
me as your mother."
When Sophie heard what May said, she felt flustered and afraid. She was afraid that Sky would
compromise and abandon her.
"Sky... Don't... don't leave me alone..." Tears rolled down from the corners of Sophie's eyes. She looked
so pity that anyone wanted to protect her.
Sky patted her hand, "Wait for me here."
"Sky." Sophie didn't want to let go of Sky.
But Sky let go of her hand, "Listen to me. Be good."
Sophie could only stay there waiting. That was all she could do.
"Mom, let's have a talk," Sky stepped forward and said to his mother.
"I don't have time to talk about her now. It's a waste of time." May refused Sky's request, but invited
Rose and Bright again, "Rose, Mr. Lee, now that you have come here, please come in."
"Ms. May, you'd better settle down your domestic affairs first. I'll ask you out next time, OK?" Rose
didn't want to get involved and make Sophie hate her even more.
In fact, she was not afraid that Sophie would hate her. She had lived a better life now and didn't want
Bright to be unhappy.
Since Rose refused again and again, May didn't force them to stay any longer. Although she was
reluctant to let them go, she could only watch Rose and Bright leave.
May watched their car disappear into the darkness, with tears glistening under her eyes.
"Mom..." Sky called out.
May withdrew her eyes and turned away to enter the house.
"Mom." Sky followed her.
"I don't want to talk to you about her," said May without looking back.
Sophie carefully opened the door, followed Sky all the way until she came to the gate. She was already
wet all over by the rain.
The rain dripped down her hair that stuck to her face, and her face was already white.
When May entered the room, Sky looked at Sophie and said, "Sophie, my mother is angry now. When
she calmed down, I will talk to her about us."
"So, can I go home today?" Sophie looked expectant.
"Well, it's better to stay in a hotel. I will ask someone to send you there." Sky could only make this
arrangement to avoid a direct conflict between his mother and Sophie.
Sophie's expectation turned into disappointment and sadness. "Sky, I don't want to leave you."
"I'm not asking you to leave, but it's not urgent. I don't want to choose between you and my mother, but
I have to make concession." Sky put his hand on her shoulders, "I will pick you up when I settle down
the matter with my parents."
"What if they don't accept me? Would you listen to them and abandon me?" Sophie's voice was
trembling. She was so humble now.
"Of course not." Sky smiled gently and put the wet hair on her cheek behind her ear. "I will make things
clear to them and explain my determination. If they can understand, it is best; if they can't, then I can
do as what I should do. I will live my life according to my own wishes. So, Sophie, would you make
some sacrifice now for our future?"
For their future... Would they really have a future?
Sophie had no confidence at all, and she only felt endlessly lost and empty.
Sophie wanted to believe in Sky, but the reality was too cruel. She knew well that the Tanner family
would not accept her again.
Sophie let go of Sky's hand. She gritted her teeth and then rushed to the house.
Sky did not expect Sophie to do so. "Sophie, don't do that."
He chased Sophie into the living room. May was sitting on the sofa, and just as she picked up a glass
of water, she saw Sophie rush in.
"Who let you in?! Get the hell out of here now!"
Sky grabbed Sophie and frowned, "Don't be impulsive. Let me solve the matter."
"Sky, let me try. I won't give up till I try." Sophie looked up at him. "I can handle it."
Sophie wanted to get rid of Sky's hand, but he didn't let go.
Sophie knelt down in front of May, but it wouldn't change May's opinion of her at all.
"This won't work for me." May took a sip of warm water, ignoring Sophie's low posture.
"Mom, I was wrong, terribly wrong. I'm sorry for the Tanner family and Sky, but I will correct my
mistakes. I really love Sky, and I can do anything for him, as long as you don't drive me out of here.
Mom, please don't drive me out." Sophie took two steps forward on her knees, closer to May.
"This child is really Sky's baby, the descendant of the Tanner family. Let's give the child a complete
family, shall we?"
May put down her glass of water and rose, "I am tired and want to rest. You can kneel outside the gate
as long as you want. Don't disturb me."
"You hurt Rose before, and now you hurt us. What you did were despicable and you know it. Do you
think that we will have to re-accept you when you make things right? Never! In short, I will never accept
you." May got up and headed for the stairs.
Sophie knelt where she was, looking at May's indifferent back, feeling desperate. May was now the
biggest obstacle for her to return to Sky.
"Get up." Sky reached out and helped Sophie up. "You will only anger my mother even more. Listen to
me. I'll take you to your hotel."
As soon as Sophie got up, she suddenly blacked out and fell into Sky's arms.
