Arielle lowered her eyes, amused by her father's response.
While they were enjoying a happy time, Sonia was just slapped across her face by her mother.
“Sonia, I don't care if you like it or not. You're going to marry Prince Aaron, one way or another,” Kelly snapped as she glared at her daughter.
It was Sonia's first time getting slapped across the face, and she was truly disappointed in Kelly.
“Mother, am I really your daughter?” Kelly was infuriated by her question and bellowed, “Whose daughter are you if not mine?”
“If I'm truly your daughter, why would you ignore my wishes and insist on me marrying Prince Aaron? You know full well that he feels nothing toward me, and he will not marry me either. Why must you force me to butter him up and charm him?” Sonia said bitterly. “Mother, I am not a robot without feelings, nor am I your puppet that can do every single one of your biddings.”
With that said, she covered her face in dismay and ran outside, bumping right into Lawrence who just came back.
“Why are you so careless?” Lawrence steadied his daughter and saw her covering her tear-stricken face. His heart ached at the sight as he wondered who made his precious daughter suffer such indignance.
“Who made you unhappy? Let me know. I'll teach them a lesson!” Lawrence said.
Kelly came out of the room immediately after hearing Lawrence's voice. She looked at him and said helplessly, “Who dares to offend her? She's just upset that she didn't understand a thing from her class at school today.”
“Father, I'll head back first.” Sonia could not stand to listen to her mother's lies and headed out at a brisk pace.
