And so breakfast was spent with Sofia taking care of Johnathan while shyly taking quick glances in Vincent's direction. None talking to each other outright.

Breakfast went as usual. The minute it finished, Johnathan was stuck to Sofia, not letting go. It was Sunday and officially Sofia's day off, and the day Vincent and Johnathan had their father-son bonding.

Sofia was expected to be away for the day.

As the servants were clearing the table, Vincent's phone rang.

"Yes?"

Listening to the caller talk, Vincent's face turned serious. He quickly checked his watch before speaking, "I'll go over now," and as soon as the words left his wouth, the call was ended. During the whole phone call, Vincent had only said a few words, and from those only, Sofia could tell it was serious.

"Sofia, would you mind spending a few hours with Johnathan today?" Vincent spoke to Sofia while going through his phone, not looking up.

Sofia lightly nodded her agreement as Vincent continued.

"I just need you to look after Johnathan for a while, and then you can take your day off."

Not knowing how urgent Vincent's task was or how long it would take, Sofia quickly asked, "Is it very serious?" waiting for Vincent to look at her, she continued."You can take your time, I can look after Johnathan as long as needed. You don't have to worry, I don't have anything to do today anyway."

Hearing Sofia's comforting words, Vincent smiled lightly as he got up. Reaching out to hold Sofia's arm softly, Vincent quickly thanked her before making his way out of the room.

Vincent had planned a nice and quiet day in the backyard before the idiot had messed up. It had to be canceled.

With Vincent leaving and Johnathan not letting go of her, Sofia had to quickly come up with a game idea where she could keep Johnathan busy while she sat down somewhere.

They moved upstairs, where Johnathan had his playroom with all of his toys.

.....

At 7 p.m., when Vincent got home, he found Johnathan and Sofia in the living room following along with videos on the TV dancing with cartoon characters.

It was a heartwarming scene for him. She really was perfect in every way. The light that shined in his dark world.

Her current figure overlapped with the girl glowing under the rays of the sun. A figure he had seen three years ago in the park.

'She really is an angel, sent just for me.' Vincent's thoughts were both beautiful and dark at the same time.

...

Sofia and Johnathan had fun the whole day. Playing and learning at the same time. She was getting better at spending time and not noticing the day go bay.

As night had arrived, a maid approached Vincent. Bowing down as a form of respect, she spoke, "Dinner will be ready in 30 minutes master." Not taking his eyes off of Sofia, Vincent nodded as a form of acknowledging the information given to him.

Just when he had given his approval for dinner time, Sofia turned towards the living room entrance where Vincent was still standing.

At the sight of him, Sofia stopped her dancing and stood still with only her head facing Vincent. He could clearly see his presence affecting her.

He loved the feeling.

Her attention, solely on him.

Her next action had him over the moon.
