The first time Simon saw Sophie, she ran straight into his arms, instantly bonding with him. After years of infertility and the struggles of adoption, he and Claire were finally parents. However, Sophie’s difficult start in life caused tensions between them. Claire expressed frustration with Sophie’s behavior, particularly after Sophie accidentally ruined Claire’s wedding dress. Claire wanted to return Sophie to the adoption agency, but Simon refused. He chose to protect his daughter and stay committed to her, despite Claire’s decision to leave.

Months later, Claire regretted her actions, but Simon couldn’t forget how she had abandoned Sophie. He realized that his priority was Sophie’s well-being, not a reconciliation with Claire. One year later, Sophie had learned to trust Simon’s unconditional love, and together they found peace, finally feeling safe and at home.
