The tension was noticeable in the air.
It suddenly became so quiet.
Maria was so worried that Linda would say the wrong thing.
Maria kept her lips pursed, and her look was in pain. Apparently, what Sophia said put her in a dilemma.
"It's not hard. We will not do this! Of course not!"
Maria said for Linda.
"Aunt Linda, I appreciate it. But I have to hear from my mother."
"Sophia, don't!"
Catherine shook her head at Sophia, suggesting her not to pressure Linda, or she might regret it.
What if Linda got worked up and said something she wouldn't have said? Sophia wouldn't handle the answer.
"I will not regret it. I just want an honest answer from mom."
"Sophia."
Linda's tears were all over her face.
Maria sat next to Catherine and grabbed her hand nervously like she was waiting for a sentence.
