"Mom!" Ophelia called out, but the call had already been disconnected, causing her to frown.
"What happened?" Jas asked with concern, "Did Aunt Taylor and the others co?"
"Yes." Ophelia sighed heavily, "My parents ca to visit the set. They made a special trip, and I’m worried they’ll be exhausted."
Ophelia is a "thoughtful" person, using such concern and worry to explain why she was a bit upset earlier.
"Let’s go over there." Jas said with a smile, "Don’t keep Uncle Wilson and them waiting."
"Okay." Ophelia forced a smile and nodded, accompanying Jas to take the elevator downstairs.
She was still calculating in her mind, thinking maybe she wouldn’t encounter Sophie, but if she did... well, she’d deal with it then.
Ophelia and Jas entered the buffet restaurant and saw Clarissa and Mason sitting across from soone. Her mind buzzed, as if all the blood in her body rushed to her brain. Everything turned black, and she swayed slightly.
Why is Sophie here?
No, no... What she ant was, why is Sophie having breakfast here today?
She hadn’t seen Sophie at the buffet restaurant before.
"Ophelia, you’re here?" Clarissa looked up and greeted Ophelia enthusiastically.
"Dad, Mom." Ophelia suppressed her surprise and walked over with a smile.
"Jas is here too." Mason smiled and looked at Jas.
"Aunt Taylor, Uncle Wilson." Jas greeted politely.
"Aunt Taylor, you guys go ahead and eat, I won’t bother you." Sophie said as she stood up.
Clarissa imdiately stopped her, "Sophie, let’s eat together."
"No thanks, Aunt Taylor. My boyfriend’s waiting for over there." Sophie said, mischievously blinking, "I haven’t seen him in a long ti, so I want so ti alone with him."
Upon hearing this reason, Clarissa smiled and replied understandingly, "Alright, then we won’t disturb you two."
In truth, she felt incredibly frustrated inside.
Sophie still trusts Charles more than she trusts them.
As Clarissa watched Sophie leave, she turned around and asked Ophelia with a hint of reproach, "Sophie is in the sa crew filming with you, why didn’t you tell ?"
It finally ca.
Ophelia had been prepared for this. Now, as Clarissa questioned her, she wasn’t anxious but smiled and said, "Mom, the crew hasn’t done any publicity. The director plans to do promotions after all filming is completed and close to the release. I can’t just casually reveal it to the people around ."
She was keeping Sophie’s involvent a secret for the sake of the crew; even if Clarissa wanted to argue, Ophelia’s reasoning was solid.
"Would I really leak the news?" Clarissa didn’t believe Ophelia’s excuse. Ophelia deliberately didn’t tell her Sophie was here.
"Alright, Ophelia is considering the crew; let’s eat first." Mason stood up to diate and gently squeezed Clarissa’s arm, saying, "I’ll get you sothing to eat."
"Dad, I’ll go with you." Ophelia quickly rose and followed Mason to get food.
She didn’t take anything first, opting to pour a glass of hot milk, smiling, "Mom’s favorite milk."
Mason looked at Ophelia like this and truly felt conflicted inside. Clarissa always said Ophelia already knew, but is it true?
Seeing Ophelia always so sensible, he really found it hard to believe.
