Mo City’s Riverview District.
Tong Jiumo brought Sophie back home, and the former happened to see Mo Lisi tinkering in the kitchen.
“So, this is Tong Lele?”
The moment Sophie entered, she also saw Mo Lisi. Her face held no trace of surprise, only panic.
This child’s features were similar to the cold and refined face she had seen five years ago in the hospital.
Sophie was so shocked her legs became weak.
“Phi, are you alright?”
Tong Jiumo reacted quickly and supported Sophie.
Sophie’s face was pale, looking at the little figure emerging from the kitchen. She glanced at Tong Jiumo. “Momo, this is the child from that day?”
Tong Jiumo nodded. “Yes, is there something wrong?”
“…”
Sophie’s face grew even paler.
‘They’re too similar!’
‘Just like a carbon copy!’
Ever since the hurried farewell five years ago, Sophie had never seen Mo Qijue again.
But that cold and refined face was unforgettable!
“Mommy, who is this? Why did you bring a stranger into the house?” Mo Lisi looked at Tong Jiumo, supporting Sophie, his eyes turning cold with a hint of bloodlust.
Mo Lisi was very possessive. He didn’t allow anyone else to touch the things that he liked—once touched, he would throw it away without hesitation.
And now, someone dared to try and steal away the mommy he had worked so hard to get!
It was unacceptable even if it was a woman!
Sophie felt the cold gaze from Mo Lisi.
It scared her and made her shudder for no discernible reason.
“Darling, this is my good friend Sophie. Come and greet her.”
Tong Jiumo was also shocked by the coldness emanating from Mo Lisi.
She never expected that her lively and cute darling would also have such a cold demeanor sometimes.
But…
Wasn’t Tong Lele usually hospitable towards guests?
Why was he suddenly so against having guests?
“Hmph.” Mo Lisi turned and returned to his room.
Sophie stood in place and calmed down after a long while. She looked at Tong Jiumo, gulping. Doubt flashed in her eyes. “Momo, have you ever seen Lele’s father?”
Tong Jiumo stiffened, her gaze flickering, and she lowered her gaze. “No.”
She didn’t know what he looked like.
“Momo, this time, did you come back to Mo City for a vacation or…” asked Sophie.
“Lele wanted to return to China, and it’s been five years… I thought that the man might have forgotten.” Tong Jiumo lowered her head and bit her lip.
Thinking about what he had done to her back then, she felt indignant, but there was nothing she could do.
Tong Jiumo was the one who had indirectly caused Mu Wanqing’s death.
Sophie blanched, but after hearing Tong Jiumo’s words, her heart trembled.
Sophie stepped forward and hugged Tong Jiumo. “Momo.”
“Momo, in Mo City, your reputation has been ruined. You used to be the most well known young lady. If you come back, you’ll meet a lot of acquaintances from before.
“Your life was going well in London, why return to a city that saddens you so much?”
Even though Sophie was reluctant to let Tong Jiumo leave, her son Tong Lele looked exactly like Mo Qijue.
Sooner or later, something would go wrong.
Especially since she was also hiding something from Tong Jiumo.
Tong Jiumo had given birth to twins back then, and that was extremely fortunate.
Tong Jiumo had been pregnant for seven months, and Sophie had seen it with her own eyes—Tong Jiumo and her child were inseparable. However, if Sophie hadn’t handed Tong Jiumo’s child over to Mo Qijue, Tong Jiumo would have been trapped in the darkness forever.
And that was why Sophie had secretly separated the children without letting either of them know.
Sophie had hoped that Tong Jiumo could bring her child with her and live freely outside of this shadow…
The things that Mo Qijue had done to Tong Jiumo weren’t something that a normal person could withstand!
