For a moment, Leland watched Jan and Luciel playing together in the garden. Then he tightened his embrace on Sophie and whispered, "Sophia, do you want to visit Morgan and Emery?"
Sophie immediately looked up, her eyes sparkling but doubts were evident on her face. "Can we go? Have you finished your work?"
Leland nodded with a smile. "Yes."
After Leland nodded, the happiness inside Sophie returned. "Yes. I do. I did plan to ask you to take me to visit them after your work is done."
Sophie's face lit up as she expressed her wish.
Seeing the happiness on his mate's face, Leland felt both happy and relieved.
At first, he was worried that the long journey from Frisia to Riga would harm Sophie's health. Luckily that didn't happen.
After Jan and Luciel's fifth birthday, Sophie's health gradually improved more significantly.
