The Billionaire's Regret. novel Chapter 4

Five years Later

Victoria's lips curved into a sweet smile the moment she stepped into her baby's room. Her smile grew even bigger when she saw that her little angel was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

She gently shut the door behind her and made her way over to the bed, where her bundle of joy was.

She sat on the bed beside her baby girl.

"My love."

"Sophie darling." She called as she gently shook her little body.

"Hmmmmmm." The little girl groaned, with her eyes still closed.

Victoria chuckled.

"You are going to be late for school."

"I want to sleep some more" She mumbled, still not opening her eyes.

Victoria chuckled out loud this time around. No matter how early her daughter went to bed, the little girl was never a morning person.

"Okay, what if I tell you that I'll drive you to school today."

Her eyes flashed open.

"Really mama?"

Vicky nodded, smiling. "Gloria has something to take care of so she got the day off. I'll drop you off at school and also pick you up."

The edges of Sophie's lips curved into a smile. She helped herself into a sitting position and crawled towards her mother.

Victoria eagerly embraced her daughter in a warm hug,

"Good morning, mama."

"Good morning, my love." She kissed her forehead twice, then made her sit on her lap.

"You slept well?"

She nodded, smiling.

"I had a dream."

"Okay.....with the smile on your face, I bet it's a good one." She said, always eager to hear her daughter's dreams, no matter how silly they may sound.

"Yes, I made a new friend."

Victoria chuckled, softly caressing her daughter's cheek. "Honey, you have lots of friends already," Vicky said in all honesty as she hardly kept track of the names of all her friends in school.

"I know, mama. They like me and I like them too. But the friend in my dream was very special."

"How do you know that?" Vicky couldn't help but ask.

"Because he played with me."

"He?" Vicky arched her brows as she stared intently at her little girl. "I thought we agreed to slow down on Male friends."

Sophie shrugged, "He was very friendly."

"Would you mind describing him?"

"Uh...." she mumbled, with her tiny finger against her chin, trying to recall the description of the person.

"I don't know but he had a beautiful face." She smiled.

Vicky chuckled, "Good to know."

"What do you want for breakfast? Cereal or eggs with bre..."

"Froot loops, please." She grinned and at the same time, giving her mommy a puppy dog face.

"We are out of froot loops."

"No, Mama. There's some in the cabinet."

"Oh really?"

Sophie nodded.

"I don't think so."
