"Cedric, can you please leave?"Mrs. Carrie had already started preparing the dishes, but hearing her sudden eviction order, her hands stopped moving. 'If she has allowed him into the apartment, it means that the two of them are on good terms. Why is she suddenly kicking him out?'Cherry could not help but smirk. However, when she glanced at the cake she had not finished, she felt a little embarrassed. 'Oh no, I'm in no position to drive him away now that I've eaten a cake he bought.'Cedric frowned slightly. "Soph, I only want to give you and Cherry—""What you've given us so far was nothing but harm and fright," Sophie cut him off before he could finish his sentence.She closed her slightly moist eyes, his expression reflected in her pupils. Then, her pale lips parted. "Please leave!"Cedric looked at her pale face, still in shock. His lips twitched for a bit, but he did not say a word in the end.As the door opened and closed, Cherry glanced at the door and then at Sophie whi
"I've asked Dr. Zegler regarding Tristan's condition. Tristan will be discharged in another two or three days. Once he's discharged from the hospital, I'll have someone send Vivienne abroad and keep an eye on her." Cedric explained his plan.In this way, Tristan would no longer be hurt again under the guise of love, and Sophie would not have to worry anymore."That's one solution. On the one hand, you have a son who emerged out of nowhere and had been neglected for three years. On the other hand, you have a woman you love but deep misunderstandings exist between you two. Brother, you're in quite a tough spot." Sean sighed, refilled Cedric's wine glass, and clinked their wine glasses together.The media, never content with the truth, had managed to portray a conflicted yet principled man as a despicable and indecisive scumbag. What was worse, every time they wrote about Cedric, they would drag him into it too, tarnishing his sexual orientation along the way.'Damn it!' Cedric frowne
After waiting for one whole day without receiving a reply, Vivienne had no choice but to come up with a solution on her own."Ms. Kerrigan, Tristan needs to undergo a pre-discharge examination," the nurse said with a smile, though the contempt in her eyes could not be concealed.A woman who could even harm her own child for personal gain truly did not deserve to live.Vivienne could only pretend not to notice and reached out to help Tristan on the hospital bed, but he dodged her hand before it could touch his arm."Mommy, it's fine. The nurse will accompany me," Tristan said.Vivienne's expression changed slightly. Ever since Tristan woke up from his coma, he seemed like a different person. Every time he looked at her, his gaze was cold and distant. He even started resisting her touch.The nurse assisted Tristan out of the ward, and Vivienne's simmering hatred was finally unveiled without any pretense. Her hands, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly into fists, and her entire b
"You still smell the same. Vivienne, do you know how much I longed for you during those six years in prison? Every time I thought of you, I wondered what new things I could do to satisfy you even more."Accompanied by a lewd chuckle, the hand pinching her chin suddenly moved downward, slipping over her collarbone and into her clothes.Vivienne struggled desperately, but her limbs were bound, and she could not break free."I just love a woman who knows how to have fun like you. Let's see what I've brought you." William giggled as he pulled out a long whip from the drawer.The whip's appearance caused Vivienne's face to pale. "Please, no! I beg you, don't do this!"The fear deep within her soul made her burst into tears.In the past, when she was known as Cedric's girlfriend, other women envied and admired her. However, behind closed doors, Cedric remained indifferent, his thoughts inscrutable.William's arrival had prompted her hesitation, ultimately leading her to accept the Car
Vivienne had set him up back then because she couldn't bear it anymore, intending to ensure this abuser spent the rest of his life in prison. Yet, he managed to escape."What exactly do you want?" Vivienne tried to calm down, knowing that if William only wanted to retaliate against her, he wouldn't have mentioned Cedric earlier."Heh, it seems you've grown smarter. I can let you go, but you have to agree to work with me," William said with a smirk.Seeing William's sinister appearance, Vivienne gulped subconsciously out of fear. "As long as you let me go, I'll agree to anything."'If I don't, he'll surely torture me to death.'-At Luxford Group.Jeanna rolled her eyes in disapproval. "How was the interest class you took Cherry to try out yesterday? I don't have kids, so I don't understand what's wrong with parents nowadays. Isn't it better for kids to grow up happily without having to attend various interest classes when they're this young?"When she had children in the future
In the blink of an eye, the day arrived when Tristan was discharged from the hospital.Cedric drove to the hospital. When Tristan spotted him, his gaze flickered for a moment before returning to silence. There was no hint of joy on his face.Vivienne quickly wrapped her arms around his shoulders and said gently, "Tristan, Mommy and Daddy will take you out to have some fun today. Where do you want to go?"Tristan kept his head down, staring at his toes for a long time before looking up again. "I want to go to the amusement park."Cedric's gaze looked a little complicated, but he nodded nonetheless. "Okay, we'll go to the amusement park then."-Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the amusement park.Tristan gazed blankly at the other children, happily holding hands with their parents, his eyes involuntarily moistening.He reminisced about the first time he felt the presence of a father figure at an amusement park. If he could, he'd go back to that time and never grow up."
Staring at the movie schedule board, Tristan found himself unable to settle on a movie choice. It wasn't due to indecision but rather a mix of anticipation and fear. This outing marked his first and final trip to the cinema with his parents.Seeing him hesitate, Vivienne could not help but feel anxious. "Tristan, which one do you want to watch?"After being pressed by her question, Tristan snapped out of his thoughts and pointed randomly to an animated film. "Let's watch this one.""I'll go buy the tickets." Cedric glanced at the movie title and then strode toward the ticket kiosk.After a while, he returned with a popcorn bucket and an ice cream.Vivienne felt a little conflicted. "Tristan just got discharged from the hospital. He shouldn't be eating these.""It's okay, just eat a little." Cedric handed the ice cream to Tristan without even looking at Vivienne.Tristan stared at the ice cream in his hand, his lips slightly pursed. He suppressed the urge to cry and gently licked
"Okay," Tristan nodded obediently but didn't rush to leave. Instead, he stood still for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Vivienne and Cedric, burying his face between them. "Mommy, Daddy, I'm very happy today."I'll go to bed now," he said quickly after releasing them, lowering his head and hurrying upstairs.Tears dropped uncontrollably onto the stairs—happy days like this would never happen again.After watching Tristan return to his bedroom, Cedric turned to Vivienne. "I've fulfilled my promise to you. Someone will take you to the airport tomorrow, and a sum of money will be deposited into your account. It should cover your daily expenses for the rest of your life."Having said what needed to be said, Cedric no longer glanced at Vivienne and prepared to leave. But she grabbed his arm."Cedric, I know you despise me. I also admit I'm wrong and won't ask for your forgiveness. But please, for Tristan's sake, for my genuine love for you, could you leave me with so
