You always make up excuses for them when I'm about to lecture them. How can they quiet down?

She was in a daze.She had no idea what she was doing there and wondered why she had seen the three people she least wanted to see after blinking.Sophie was holding the hand of a little boy on her left while her right hand was buried in Noel's pocket. She walked toward Stella arrogantly."Where's your precious little daughter?"Where's your precious little daughter?"Those words were like a nightmare echoing in Stella's mind.She looked around helplessly as she tried to find any trace of her daughter, but there was no clue of life around her.Stella looked up and spotted a silver necklace flashing with a chilling light.
