Sophie’s eyes lit up, and she cried, “Bella! It’s Bella!”
Christopher turned around as Bella approached. Tearing up, he curled
his lips.
“Bella.”
“Mrs. Iverson.”
Bella went up to hold Sophie’s hand with a bright smile. “I wasn’t
expecting you, but it makes me so happy to see you.”
“I’m so happy to see you, Bella.”
Fond of Bella, Sophie gave her a big hug before grabbing a handful of
chocolate bonbons from her clutch to give to Bella. “Here you go. I
remember you love chocolate, so I brought you some.”
“Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts, Mrs. Iverson.” Feeling
touched, Bella cupped the chocolate in her hands.
That was the type of person Bella was. She had seen too much of life,
both the good and the bad.
Instead of grand gestures, it was the simple things in life that she
was grateful for.
“You’re so beautiful today,” Bella complimented.
“R-Really?”
Sophie blushed like a teenager. “My son chose the outfit for me. I
usually wear something loose at home. I don’t feel comfortable
wearing such a formal dress.”
“Yes, you are, Mrs. Iverson.””
Bella smiled and turned to ChristoareChris has good taste.”
Christopher’s breathing turned paragaced and emotions went through
him like a roller coaster when Bellal signated at him.
“The rest of your family has arrived. Clairman Lance is sitting with
my dad. I’ll take you there now.”
