The sound of the door opening woke me up, and I saw Victoria entering the room with Sophia, who immediately ran towards me.
"Daddy!"
"Hey, Baby girl!" I quickly sat up, welcoming her with a hug.
"Dad ..." She pulled away from the hug, looking up at me with a pout. "I thought you and Mom were in trouble."
I frowned slightly and smiled. "What? Why do you think that?"
"Because mom looked so gloomy," she said, making me turn to Victoria, who was climbing onto the bed after placing her bag on the sofa.
"What happened? Is there a problem?" I asked, embracing her as she immediately wrapped her arms around my waist.
She remained silent while I gently stroked her soft and fragrant hair.
"Why are you sad? Tell your husband ..." I coaxed, then leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Don't bottle up your problems alone ... You have a husband now."
She only smiled and then released her embrace.
