"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.

    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

    Cedric tightened his lips, his wrist lifting the watch, his Adam's apple bobbing twice as he downed the wine in one gulp.Placing the empty glass on the coffee table, he rose, turned, and declared as he headed towards the door, "Stay away from Tristan until he comes of age."Just as he walked to the doorstep, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist, and Vivienne did so with every fiber of her being. "Cedric, I really, truly love you."Cedric did not expect her to keep clinging to him. His expression dimmed as he tried to pry the arms around his waist. But as soon as he lowered his head, he felt everything before him swaying.His look turned serious instantly. "What did you spike the wine with?!""You saw it yourself. The bottle was not opened, so how could I have spiked it?" Vivienne replied as her cheek and body's curves pressed tightly against his back.Cedric felt a warm sensation surge in his lower abdomen, and his face's complexion changed rapidly. 'Damn it! She act

    Cedric had numerous ways to bypass the law if he wanted to get rid of Vivienne for good. He only refrained from doing something so heartless out of consideration for Tristan. He had not expected her to challenge his limits, even daring to drug him!"You don't need to do so yourself, I'll do it myself!" Vivienne did not defend herself. She got up from the floor, opened the bedroom's French window, and jumped out."Mommy!" Tristan's heartbreaking voice echoed from the door.While looking at the balcony, Cedric's face betrayed his astonishment. 'She actually jumped?!'"Mommy! Mommy!" Tristan dashed downstairs barefoot, finding Vivienne already unconscious.Cedric frowned and quickly dialed 911.-Vivienne was immediately rushed to the emergency room when they arrived at the hospital.Meanwhile, news of her attempted suicide had already spread online at this time.Sophie stared at the news article on her laptop, the emotion in her gaze transitioned from shock at the beginning to c

    Tristan looked up in surprise. As if struck by a sudden thought, he glanced at Cherry, who was writhing in pain, and timidly asked, "Can I go to the hospital to help?""You need to stay home and help Cherry get a leave from school tomorrow. Be good and stay here. Trust Daddy. Cherry will be fine." Cedric's words seemed to soothe Tristan's anxiety.Avoiding Cedric’s gaze, Tristan obediently nodded. 'Cherry will surely be fine.'-The Bentley sped along the road and soon arrived at the hospital.Cedric held Cherry the entire time, while Sophie handled the paperwork. Their seamless cooperation made them seem like a perfectly ordinary married couple."Mr. Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, the child has gastritis and needs to be hospitalized for treatment," the emergency physician explained after examining Cherry, jotting down the diagnosis in the medical record.Sophie's face turned pale. 'Gastritis? How could it be so severe?'"Can she recover?" Cedric asked with a frown, his sudden intimida

    In Imperium, hardly anyone else would dare yell at Cedric like this. Cedric's eyes narrowed dangerously, his shoulders radiating a cold aura. However, traces of helplessness and doting affection softened his expression. Despite his reluctance, he eventually turned aside cooperatively.Sophie couldn't help but smile. 'It's no wonder some people believe that daughters are their fathers' lovers from a previous life. If it were anyone else, Cedric would have likely thrown them out the window by now.'She lifted Cherry's clothes to reveal her round belly and gently massaged it in circles with her fingers. Taking the opportunity, she also gave Cherry a gentle reminder, "How many times has Mommy told you not to eat so much? But you never listen. Now you know how it feels when you overeat, huh?""Mommy, could you not rub salt in my wounds?" Cherry's face was scrunched up in pain. Her pitiful and aggrieved expression instantly silenced Sophie, who decided to save the scolding for when Cherry

    Cedric kissed Sophie’s rosy cheeks, preparing to take things to the next level, when a knock on the door interrupted them at a crucial moment.His expression darkened immediately. No man liked being interrupted at such a time, and it had happened repeatedly."Who is it?" Sophie grabbed the blanket beside her to cover her exposed chest, her hoarse voice betraying her recent passion."Ms. Luxford... It's me." Tristan's low voice came from the other side of the door.'Tristan?' Sophie looked at the man beside her, surprised. She had assumed it was Cherry again, but unexpectedly...Gathering her scattered clothes from the floor, Sophie dressed quickly. Ensuring there was nothing inappropriate between her and Cedric, she got out of bed and walked toward the door.Tristan stood there, head down, fingers fidgeting, indicating urgency. As soon as the door opened, he looked up anxiously and said, "Ms. Luxford, could you go check on Cherry? She seems unwell.""Cherry is unwell?" The flush

    "This birthday brings me a lot of happiness."Sophie grasped the deeper implications of his words. The blush on her cheeks faded slightly, and the initial flutter of excitement mingled with a touch of sadness. No one could predict what Jeff's condition would be like by her next birthday.Cedric shifted the topic, pouring the already decanted red wine into a tall glass and handing it to her. "Just one glass. This is for your private birthday celebration. Happy birthday."The intoxicating aroma of the wine was irresistible. She stopped resisting and held her glass up to gently clink against his, producing a clear, melodious sound that resonated beautifully in the quiet room.The rich wine slid down her throat, soothing her tense nerves. Her tightly held shoulders relaxed, and her racing heart found a semblance of peace. She had once believed she would never fall for Cedric again, but looking back, she realized that all her hatred had been rooted in love.He had transformed love into

    Cedric seemed to know exactly what Sophie was nervous about. He raised his eyebrows suggestively, causing her to blush and quickly look away.What had happened between them lingered in the air, irrevocable.Jeff squinted, watching their subtle gestures with satisfaction. Smiling contentedly, he struggled to his feet with the help of his cane. These two had already reached a natural conclusion, and there was no need for him to exaggerate his illness any longer."Mommy, I still have homework to do. I'm heading to my room," Cherry announced, her bright eyes glancing at Tristan. She couldn't beat him at Taekwondo, but she was determined to outshine him in the midterm exams!"I’m going upstairs too," Tristan added, surprised by her sudden focus. He hesitated for a moment before quickly following her up the stairs.Melissa had long lost her patience. Without a word, she dragged Matthew upstairs, letting out a disdainful snort as they left.What had been a lively living room now left So

    "Okay."Understanding Cherry’s impatience, Sophie smiled and gently pulled away from Cedric’s embrace. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.She hoped for her family's safety, health, and happiness. She wished that her parents and sister were living comfortably in another world. And she wished that she and Cedric would have a happy ending, free from past mistakes.After silently making her wishes, she blew out the flickering candles in one breath.The room filled with the faint scent of melted wax."We can eat the cake now!" Cherry beamed with joy, eagerly carrying the cake to the dining table.Her impatience made Jeff laugh heartily, his eyes crinkling with delight as he stroked his beard. "Alright, let’s start eating before this little girl drools all over the table."Sophie took her seat, glancing at Cedric, who still held her hand tightly. Her smile widened as she playfully scolded him, "Why didn’t you tell me on the way here?""If I told you, ho

    Although Sophie's mind was brimming with questions, she couldn’t help but smile at Cedric's words. She looked down at their intertwined hands, feeling the warmth of his palm. Whether it was a perfect match or a union made in heaven, it all required two hearts in love. With love, even amidst turbulence, they would find the courage to move forward together.Before long, the Bentley smoothly pulled into the Carlson residence.Jeff immediately smiled and waved upon their arrival. "Soph, come over here."Sophie approached, noticing that Mrs. Carrie had prepared a table full of dishes. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. "Grandpa, what has made you so happy? Why did you ask Mrs. Carrie to make so much delicious food?""Silly girl, did you forget what day it is today?"Jeff's loving yet mischievous smile left her momentarily bewildered. Then her eyes widened in surprise. With everything going on with Linda, she had completely forgotten her own birthday!"Happy birthday." Cedric had quie

    Fearing that staying any longer would only worsen the situation, Linda quickly opened the door and walked out.Fenix stood there, confusion gradually replacing the determination in his eyes."What’s wrong with marrying me?" he asked Sophie, genuinely puzzled.'I’m the CEO of Cheshire Group. I’m not unattractive, and marrying me would make her legally protected as Mrs. Cheshire. Why am I being rejected?'Sophie coughed awkwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Fenix. Sean had navigated the world of romance with ease, but Fenix seemed as naive in matters of the heart as a child."Am I really that bad?"Seeing that Fenix was still fixated on why he was rejected, Sophie shook her head. "Feelings are different from business. It’s not about racing against time or weighing benefits. You can’t apply business tactics to relationships. Spending a lifetime together requires a foundation of love.""Foundation of love? You and Cedric grew up together. You had a good foundation, but it was

    Sophie's suspicion was right. Fenix was not one to easily abandon his target. After Linda ignored countless calls, he took the initiative to find her."Mr. Cheshire, Linda really isn't in the office right now," the secretary tried to block him, but it was futile against a determined man, especially one exuding an intimidating chill."Then I’ll find Sophie.""But Ms. Luxford, she—" Before the secretary could finish, Fenix's long legs had already taken him to Sophie's office door.He knocked twice before pushing it open. The secretary looked like she was about to cry. "Ms. Luxford, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Mr. Cheshire.""It’s fine. Go make Mr. Cheshire a cup of coffee," Sophie said.Seeing Fenix barge in, she raised an eyebrow, smiled, and glanced at Linda, who was hiding in her office. "Have a seat and let's talk.""No need. I have to catch a flight soon." Fenix cut straight to the point, his determined eyes fixed on Linda as he said firmly, "I need an answer from you.""Mr.
