"'She stood up for me?'" The words made Felix Preston's eyes light up. He turned to Mrs. Preston and asked eagerly, "Mom, did Sonia say something about me to you?"
Mrs. Preston shook her head. "Sonia didn't tell me. She told that Mr. Lockwood."
"Mr. Lockwood?" Felix Preston frowned. "Ethan Lockwood?"
Mrs. Preston said, "That's him. He and that young lady from the Quincy family came to see our house today."
"What?" Felix Preston's expression changed drastically.
Mrs. Preston gave a bitter smile and told Felix Preston everything that had happened that morning, from beginning to end.
She particularly emphasized how Sonia Quincy had stood up for him in front of Ethan Lockwood.
His eyes began to sting as he listened, and for a moment, he felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
After she finished, Mrs. Preston sighed softly. "Sonia has really changed a lot. Felix, you have to cherish her from now on. You have to be exceptionally good to her, you understand?"
