Sophie Smith had not walked far when Edward Harrison caught up with her.
"Little Sophie!" he called loudly from behind her.
Sophie took a deep breath from the bottom of her heart, trying to steady her emotions and hide the turmoil within. She turned back with a smile, but the redness in the corners of her eyes betrayed her.
"What's wrong with you?" Edward noticed her swollen eyes, feeling slightly concerned. "I'm sorry, there were so many people just now, I didn't pay attention to you."
He assumed she was upset because he had neglected her earlier. In his heart, she was always a little girl in need of pampering.
"Why did you come out?"
"I was worried about you. I wouldn't be at ease if you went back alone. Come on, I'll take you home." Edward didn't wait for her to refuse, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and ushered her in before getting in himself.
With no other option, Sophie reluctantly gave her own address.
