114- Aunt Sophie's Promise

Sophie was busy thinking about her next project. She was glad that Marissa was getting her happiness back.

They needed to spend more family time together to strengthen the bond.

She smiled sadly when thought of Alex. After helping Flint with the cleaning now he was busy with his tab and making faces.

"Why didn't you join your family?" Sophie stressed the words, 'Your family'.

Alex just shrugged and clicked his tongue, "I had more important things to do," 

Sophie closed her laptop and went to sit beside him, "And what can be more important than spending time with your family, Alex,"

When Alex didn't respond, she got to the floor to kneel and held his small figure, "Are you not liking his presence?"

Alex knew who she was talking about.

"I don't know, Aunt Sophie," Sophie felt pity for the boy. A boy who was about to be four. Sometimes people around him used to forget that he was still a baby. A kid.
