Broken Pieces

Chapter 21

 The next morning, Sofia woke up to do her morning routine at the same time as usual. She went to the park and did a warm-up exercise before starting her jog. At a turn, she thought she saw Simon but it was not him. It was another guy who looked had a very similar physique to Simon. She was missing him. She wanted to meet and talk to him about everything.

After completing her jog, she decided to visit Simon. She reached Evan's house in a few minutes. Mr. Evans was already leaving for work since his workplace was a bit far from their house. They were shocked to see Sofia after Bella's visit. They had never thought that they would see Sofia again.

Camilla was making her husband wear his jacket. Just as he was about to open the door, the door was knocked. He stepped forward and opened the door.

"Good morning, " Sofia said cheerfully.

"Oh good morning dear. How are you?" John greeted her.

"I'm fine. Sorry to drop by unannounced." She said apologetically.

"Oh dear, it's no problem. Join us for breakfast." Camilla said hugging her.

"Sure. I'd love to. Where's everyone?" Sofia asked as Camilla pulled out a chair for her to sit.

"Kids, Look who's here!" Camilla called from the base of the staircase. Right after a few moments, Hazel and Sam dashed down and threw themselves at Sofia.

"Sofia! Where were you? We missed you so much!" Hazel exclaimed as she sat beside her. Sam sat across her but he was silent which so was unlike him. Sofia noticed his uneasiness.

"I got sick and then some "mum" problems. You know her." Sofia said.

" You look so different. In a good way of course." Hazel said as she examined her hair.

" Yeah... Dad took me to the salon and made me get a makeover. How do I look?" Sofia asked.

"You look mighty fine, girl," Hazel said with a huge smile.

" And I'm starting work with him today. " Sofia said.

"Wow, that's so nice dear. Good luck with your first day." Camilla said as she put Sofia's favorite chocolate pancakes in front of her.

"That's why I came here to meet you, people. I missed you all so much." Sofia replied as she started eating her food.

"Sofia dear, just remember one thing. Use your money and power to help others not to be a spoilt brat. You're too precious to be a brat. Do you understand?" Camilla said as she looked at Sofia.

"Yes. I get it." Sofia said as she gave her a smile.

"Where's Simon? I wanted to meet him before I leave but I haven't seen him around. He didn't even call me." Sofia said.

"He's gone out of town for some work. He'll be back soon. I'll tell him to call you." Sam said firmly. It was the first time he spoke since Sofia came.

"Sam.," Sofia said but Sam gestured her to stop.

"You don't need to come here anymore. Did you know your mother dropped by and created a scene just because you spent your childhood with us?" Sam said as he put his fork down. Sofia was hurt. Her mother had messed up once more in her life.

"Samuel Jacob Evans! Enough! I will not allow you to talk to Sofia in this manner! None of it was her fault. " Camilla scolded him.

"That woman is her mother! So it is her fault. Not Sofia's." Sam said as he saw Sofia crying silently. Hazel was rubbing her back, soothing her.

"Go to your room right now, Sam! I don't want to see you here." Sam stood up and went to his room quietly.

"Shh... I'm sorry about all this. Please stop crying, dear. He is just very angry." Camilla said as she hugged Sofia.
