The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1806

Sophia didn't want to be at odds with her father at such a time. She got up to leave, but then she paused, remembering something she needed to ask.

"By the way, Dad, have you found Bertha and Lea yet?"

Thaddeus replied with a noncommittal grunt. "They'll be back in a few days."

Sophia furrowed her brows. "Really? Where are they?"

Thaddeus looked at her with a warning in his eyes. "I finally managed to appease Bertha. Don't start trouble again! If you don't want to live peacefully with Bertha, I won't force you. We can just avoid each other!"

Sophia sensed trouble. "Dad, what do you mean by 'avoid each other'? Are you planning to live with Bertha and abandon me?"

Even though he saw the tears welling up in his daughter's eyes, Thaddeus was no longer moved. "I didn't say that! Stop jumping to conclusions and crying every time! Enough! This is getting annoying! Go to your room and sleep!"

Sophia was taken aback. Her tears, it seemed, no longer had any effect on her father. The tears on her cheeks felt embarrassingly out of place.

Without a word of comfort from her father, Sophia wiped her tears, swallowed her anger, and left the room.

Humph! It must be Bertha and her daughter again. They must have said something to make her father grow colder towards her.

It must be!

Just wait. Once she settled her current predicament, she would deal with Bertha and her daughter.
