"Sophia..." William nudged his wife, trying to bring her out of whatever she was thinking. He wasn't sure what was wrong with her these days. She was either zoned out all the time or on edge. Sophia came out of her thoughts with a forced smile and shook hands with Ronan. When he pressed her hand tightly, she felt a chill run down her spine and forcefully pulled her hand back, surprising William.
Ronan still smiled in response, and William welcomed him. "It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Igor." Then turning to Gracia, he smiled, "I'm glad you are finally here, Gracie."
"Only for lunch," Evelyn immediately replied, cutting off all his wishes. Until this witch was gone, she wasn't going to let her mother stay here.
William scorned but masked it with a forced smile. Nodding at his adopted daughter, he welcomed them all.
