TimeNovelChapter 398: Kallie lifted her head, her eyes wide with disbelief. They were only pretending. He didn't need to say that. However, she chose not to let it bother her.
After Kallie was done dealing with the reporters, she gently slipped out of Jake's embrace.
As Kallie reached the door and slid into the car, ready to leave, she was taken aback to see Jake shamelessly following her and slipping into the seat beside her. Her eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "What are you doing? Weren't we just acting?" Jake blinked innocently and replied, "We need to keep up the pretense. There might be reporters lurking in the shadows. We should head htogether. Actually, we are going to your place." Under Kallie's disapproving gaze, Jake quickly added, "Moreover, I haven't seen our daughter in ages." A bitter smile donned his face.

Furthermore, Sophie felt upset about not having her father around.
Sophie needed love and support from both her mother and father as she grew up.
With Kallie's steadfast encouragement and protection, Sophie had always felt valued and never inferior.
However, Kallie had noticed Sophie seemed sad occasionally. Therefore, she didn't refuse Jake. “I'll take you to see her, but heed my warning. If you are not genuinely fond of her and fail to treat her well, I would prefer you to keep your distance. She is my bottom line. Do you understand?" Her gaze was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Seeing this side of her, Jake felt a complex swirl of emotions. She had grown up. She was no longer the quiet girl who silently followed him and was constantly bullied.
Jake gave a solemn nod. “Understood." He offered no flowery reassurances. His true intentions were revealed through his actions, which spoke louder and truer than any words ever could.
Sophie was at kindergarten today.

Two hours later, the final bell rang, and most of the children had already been picked up. However, Sophie was nowhere in sight.
Kallie's heart raced with worry. She hurried inside and approached the teacher, who was still in the classroom. The teacher looked puzzled when she heard Kallie's question. "Are you Sophie's mother?" Kallie's frown deepened. "What do you mean? Are you saying someone took her pretending to be me?"
The teacher was momentarily at a loss for words. She hesitated, then quickly retrieved Kallie's information and carefully cross-checked the details. It was only after this comparison that the realization hit her-Kallie was indeed Sophie's mother.

But today, a well-dressed woman arrived, claiming to be Sophie's mother. I didn't know what she said to Sophie to make Sophie leave with her. I really believed she was Sophie's mother!"
