Chapter 544



Sophie nodded and then shook her head. “It’s normal to be scolded when I do something wrong. My mommy works so hard and takes care of me all the time. When I do something right, she always rewards me. I know she puts in a lot of effort and is incredibly good to me. Even if we have little disagreements, she is still the most important person in my life.”

Sophie’s straightforward logic and articulate speech left everyone in awe.

The viewers were taken aback by her intelligence, admiring her smartness and filial piety.

“Oh my gosh, if only I could have a daughter like that! I would be willing to have kids if I could have such a cute one.”

“I’m so envious of Kallie for having such a well-behaved daughter. My own kids are so naughty and disobedient by comparison.”

Of course, not everyone was impressed.

“Is it really appropriate for a child to be so mature? I find it hard to believe a kid could speak like that. Her mother must have coached her. What we perceive as maturity might be a result of the adults mistreating her.”

“That little girl must have undergone special training. I just can’t buy it.”

“Some kids are naturally gifted. Just because you can’t have one doesn’t mean others can’t. Remember the last show? Sophie and Kallie had a wonderful relationship. Kallie protected Sophie well. Can’t you see that?”

The discussion was animated and full of varied opinions.

Elaine’s gaze lingered on Sophie, her eyes betraying a flood of emotions. She whispered, “My sister was just like this when she was young. If only she…” Elaine’s voice trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished. The pain in her eyes was unmistakable.

Kallie noticed the subtle shift in Elaine’s demeanor but opted not to offer comfort.

Elaine’s sister was clearly a tender subject for her. Kallie understood that probing too deeply would only make Elaine more guarded.

In the afternoon, rain showered over the small village. The director had noted that mushrooms would spring up on the mountain after the rain.

Everyone was free to forage for these mushrooms, which could be used in cooking or sold for profit.

Although the guests were provided with rooms to stay in during the show, they were responsible for managing their own food and supplies. They had the option to grow vegetables, which could also be sold. The goal was to make the most of what they had available.

The prospect of exploring the mountain thrilled everyone. Sophie, in particular, was bubbling with excitement. She had never experienced such a life before and, full of energy, flatly refused to take a nap at noon.
