Stephen watched this scene with complex emotions.
Neither Jake nor Anabel had ever hugged him and cried like this.
Moreover, Anabel willingly opened the door for Sophie, trusting her even more than her own father.
It made him feel that he hadn't been a good enough father.
Also, the way Sophie squatted down and hugged Anabel was so gentle, with a light in her eyes that he hadn't seen before. There was even a tiny bit that made her look like a real mother and daughter!
Hurley was shocked by his own thoughts. Looking at Sophie, she had already picked up Anabel and entered the room. Hurley was about to follow when the door closed again, leaving him outside.
Uncertain about what Sophie and Anabel were talking about, Hurley leaned closer, hoping to hear some voices from inside. However, the room was soundproof, and he couldn't hear anything.
Just as Hurley was thinking about whether to get closer, the door was opened from the inside.
Sophie apparently didn't expect Hurley to make such a move. She smiled, "Does Mr. Walton have a habit of eavesdropping on others?"
Hurley cleared his throat, "I just worried you might influence my daughter negatively."
"If you're worried about that, why did you call me over? I'll chat with Anabel; you don't need to disturb us. You seem like you haven't slept all night. Go and rest for a while. I'll give you an update later."
With these words from Sophie, Hurley nodded.
"I'll have someone bring some food up; Anabel hasn't eaten yet."
"Okay." After saying this, Sophie closed the door again.
Hurley went downstairs, rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat reassured with Sophie around.
Having asked the housekeeper to bring some food upstairs, Hurley sat on the sofa, preparing to call the hospital to check on Jake's condition.
"Young Master, has Miss Hades visited our place before?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I just feel that Miss Hades is quite familiar with this place. It doesn't seem like her first time here." Mr. Ridge expressed his doubts to Stephen.
Stephen opened his eyes. Indeed, Sophie had been here before. She came when she was looking for trouble with Matilda. At that time, it was quite late, and the housekeeper had already rested.
"I see." Hurley didn't say much.
In the room, Sophie was holding Anabel, saying, "You can cry as much as you want, Anabel. Auntie's embrace is very spacious, and you can cry however you like."
She knew that the child might have been wronged or bullied and needed to vent.
"Mommy is so gentle, and her embrace is so warm. She even calls me 'little treasure.'"
Anabel didn't want to let go once she was held by Sophie.
She knew she shouldn't cry anymore, but she couldn't help it.
Anabel cried for quite a while before finally pulling away from Sophie's embrace. Looking at the tears on Sophie's clothes, Anabel lowered her head, her eyes shimmering with tears.
Sophie sensed her apology, "It's okay; clothes are not valuable."
After wiping away Anabel's tears, Sophie looked at her red eyes and small nose. She reached out and gently tapped the tip of Anabel's nose.
"Little treasure, I'm sorry."
"Yesterday, Auntie shouldn't have walked so fast. Auntie didn't know you were upstairs. You didn't accidentally lock yourself in on purpose, did you? Was it someone intentionally locking you in there?"
Anabel looked at Sophie with her big eyes, tightly hugging her. Then she nodded.
Sophie's heart sank; she knew it! Matilda, this woman, spared not even the children!
"Anabel, tell Daddy about these things, okay? Don't worry, with Auntie here, Auntie will protect you, okay?"
Anabel finally nodded.
