“Why are you crying?!” shouted Sophia. She looked up and was shocked to see the other person was
Benjamin.
“Owie… It hurts!” cried Benjamin, holding his scraped knee.
‘When did he come out?’ thought Sophia with bewilderment. ‘No, that can’t be right. Even if he followed
me out, he would’ve bumped into me from the other side.’
In other words, the kid who bumped into her was the real Benjamin. Of course, she had no way of
knowing that.
Benjamin had run out of the restroom to escape notice from Joey and Edmund. He was in so much of a
rush that he did not look where he was going, and thus he knocked into Sophia.
The little kid immediately stopped crying at the question. “I… I came out from the restroom and…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd…” he tried to explain guiltily.
‘He came out from the restroom? But how could that be when I was the first one out of the room? I
didn’t see him walking past me at all…’ thought Sophia, puzzled. She looked to the front, then to her
back. ‘I guess he could’ve made one big round to get to the restroom, but… Could he really run that
fast?’
Benjamin started crying from the pain again. “Sob…sob…sob… I want my Daddy…”
It was eerily quiet on the second floor, so Benjamin’s cries sounded particularly loud. The patrons from
the other private booth poked their heads out to see what was going on.
Embarrassed, Sophia had no choice but to pick Benjamin up and said, “Shh, be quiet. The auction is
about to start soon. You’re going to bother other people if you don’t stop crying.”
She was worried that a crying kid would affect the auction.
Even though Benjamin did not reject her carrying him, he did not particularly show that he liked it either.
He simply let her carry him back to their private booth.
…
Jeremy was sipping his coffee quietly and thinking about something when they went in.
He turned around when he heard the door opening. Frowning, he asked them, “I thought you just went
out. Why are you back here so fast?”
Sophia sighed and was just about to explain what happened to him when Benjamin broke free from her
and ran crying to Jeremy. “Daddy… Waaa…”
Jeremy looked down at his son, who was crying pitifully, with a frown. “What happened? Didn’t you say
you were going out to say sorry to Sophia? Why are you crying now?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBenjamin did not know what his father was talking about. He had only just seen him, so when did he
tell him he was going to say sorry to Sophia? Plus, what was he saying sorry for?
Moreover, why did not Jeremy seem at all worried that he did not go home for the whole night?
Sophia was a little taken aback by their conversation. “Zachary, are you saying that Benjamin went out
just now so he could apologize to me?”
Jeremy looked up at her and nodded slightly. “I spoke to him after you went out, and he said he’ll
apologize to you after knowing what he did wrong.”
‘That makes sense!’ Initially, Sophia thought it was weird to bump into Benjamin, who came from the
other direction, but after hearing what Jeremy said, she was sure Benjamin must have accidentally
taken the wrong way and made one big round to bump into her.
