Sophie's ears perked up when she heard Leland call her name, just like her mother.
Sophia, not Sophie.
Ahh… of course! Her husband always called her Sophia, not Sophie, because he was Lee and that was how Sophie was called at home by her doting parents. It was the name that Leland got used to using.
"These are not sad tears…" Sophie confessed.
Suddenly, all the walls between her and the duke seemed to vanish. She was feeling awkward earlier because she didn't know how she could talk to him. It was so hard to confess how she felt about him because the man was quiet and distant.
However, none of those mattered anymore. Suddenly, Sophie felt like she found a piece of her that had gone missing for years after her parents died and she moved in with her abusive relatives.
