At first, Sophia had been uncertain about how to broach the subject, but now, after seeing Rose's teasing attitude, she felt relieved.
"Because I know that you're not an unreasonable person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to ask Cora about it so long after it happened."
Rose smiled. "I guess I didn't judge you wrong. You are really smart."
The way Sophia protected Cora reminded Rose of her best friend, Victoria.
In the past, she and Victoria had been as close as Sophia and Cora were. If one of them was in trouble, the other would protect her with all her strength.
Unfortunately, fate seemed to have conspired against Rose. Victoria was no longer here, and she still was…
In a moment of weakness, Rose blurted out, "Your mother actually had a lot of choices at that time. If she hadn't married your father, then perhaps…"
Sophia's heart leaped to her throat. She had a feeling that what Rose was about to say was very important.
