All afternoon, Nicholas Croft contemplated the issue until he finally made a decision before leaving work.
His Lara had already experienced too many ups and downs. Although Henry Hargrave hadn't fulfilled his duties as a father, in Sophie Foster's heart, he was always like a father.
Not wanting her to fall into fear again, Nicholas Croft decided to keep this secret under wraps.
It didn't matter who Sophie Foster's biological parents were; what mattered was that she was the person Nicholas Croft wanted to love for a lifetime.
The fatherly love she lacked, he could provide, and he would give his romantic love, unreservedly.
Perhaps that accidental kiss in the nightclub sealed their fate to be together. He had met all kinds of women, but his heart was moved by her alone.
After experiencing that "heart-stopping" incident with Hannah Hargrave yesterday, Sophie Foster began giving him the cold shoulder, locking herself in her room and not allowing him in at night.
