Alina Landry spoke up at this time, "Mr. Harrell, I'm sorry I couldn't attend the engagement party before due to some private reasons!"
Leo Harrell thoughtfully responded, "It's okay!"
He actually felt relieved that Alina Landry hadn't come; if she had, he wouldn't have progressed so quickly with Sophia Cloud.
Alina Landry had always been a somewhat thoughtless person; she merely wanted to lessen her own feelings of guilt.
Soon, it was time for the second dress rehearsal, and Leo Harrell and Sophia Cloud stood together watching it, without exchanging any words.
When it was time for the first group of children to rehearse, Hannah Cloud and Arthur Harrell saw Sophia and Leo in the audience and got so excited that they ran straight over from the stage, clamoring to be held by mommy and daddy.
Madison Smith didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turning to Leo, she said, "Big brother, maybe you should leave; the kids completely lose focus on rehearsing when they see you here!"
