465 Heartfelt Conversation

Sophie listened to Nicholas' explanation about his parents. She realized the man went through a difficult life too. She couldn't imagine what it was like having a parent who didn't want you or love you. Her father doted on her and would do anything for her. 

However, now that she remembered Leland also suffered the same fate as Nicholas, or even worse because both his parents were indifferent, Sophie realized both men were more alike than they thought.

However, Nicholas didn't seem bitter about it. He showed understanding toward his father's behavior, not blaming the man for his indifference toward his own son and his wife. Nicholas seemed to focus more on the fact that his mother loved him so much and would do anything for him.

"I am sorry to hear that," Sophie said. She looked at Nicholas with sympathy.
