Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 179
Caring as ever, John noticed Tina's grief and spoke for her. "Thank you. We still have other matters to attend to, so we will be going now."With that, he led Tina out of the pottery studio.Mrs. Archer finally noticed that something was strange about Tina too but did not dwell on it or show concern.There was plenty of work to do, and she headed into one of the backrooms.On the other hand, Tina's emotions finally overwhelmed her, and her tears came flooding out.She clutched the cup, crying so hard that she could break.The thought that Henry knew from the start that Rory was not even his child but treasured her anyway…As for her Sophie… The more she loved Henry, the more Tina felt pain for her.As she broke down and sobbed in silence, John did not hesitate this time, gently holding the back of her head to gather her in his arms while patting her back lightly.He asked nothing, only offering silent comfort.She had been hurting for too long, and John's assurance left her
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 180
Henry was too furious to care to hold back, pulling Tina and sending her spinning into his arms.Caught by surprise, the cup flew out of her grasp.When she reached out in reflex, Henry thought she was resisting him and pulled her back toward him as soon as she moved.The cup brushed past her fingertips and feet over six feet away.The see-through box was too thin to protect it at all.Clang!The cup shattered audibly as it landed.John's immediate reaction was to try to catch it for Tina—she must care a lot about her daughter's creation, but he missed too.As he rushed up and quickly started to pick up the pieces, a furious Tina stomped viciously on Henry's foot, as he was still holding her waist with a vice-like grip.It hurt Henry, but he did not let go.As such, she struck him with her handbag. "Let go of me!"She used all her strength and hit him in the face and eyes, leaving him gasping in pain and easing his grip.Tina seized the moment to free herself and hurried to
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 181
Henry's face dropped at those words, and he strode up to Mrs. Archer. "What did you just say?!"His menacing presence scared the woman, sending her stumbling backward.Tina suddenly shoved Henry off, glaring at him with pure rage—who did he think he was fooling by making that face?! "What did she say, you ask?!" Tina snapped. "She said that Sophie spent over two months making that as your birthday present! You heard her right!"And you broke it with your bare hands! As Sophie's father, you trampled all over the love Sophie had for you! She really ran out of luck when she was born as your daughter, so that you could hurt her time and time again!"Henry froze—the cup was not a token of John and Tina's romance, but Sophie's birthday gift to him?And he had broken it himself!Rory had never once remembered his birthday, and he never blamed her—in his mind, children were too young to remember their parents' birthday.And yet Sophie did. Henry was left imagining her tiny frame, spen

"Tina!"Utterly worried, Henry scooped Tina up in his arms, watching her as she dangled limply in his arms with a pain in his eyes that he himself did not notice."Tina…"John missed his mark but was watching Tina worriedly too.Seeing how pale she was, she needed rest, but John also knew Henry well enough to tell that he would not let John leave with her.If they kept fighting, Tina would not be able to rest.As such, John withdrew his hand and allowed Henry to carry Tina into his car and speed off.-At the villa, Carl Sandler was waiting as Henry carried Tina out of the car, following him into the drawing room as he gently placed her on the couch.As Carl examined her further, he frowned deeper.Henry's face dropped at the same time, and he demanded, "What's wrong with her?"She was never that weak, fainting at the drop of a hat.Carl looked at Henry's visage, and seeing the concern, he did not hide the truth. "She's mostly fine, but like how it had been in Maple Park, s
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 183
However, Linda did not expect Irene to be so stupid that she went off on her own, making Tina drunk to defile her.By sheer coincidence, Tina got into Henry's room before Linda could, allowing Tina to become Henry's antidote instead.Seeing that Madam Barnes seized the opportunity to get Tina and Henry together, Linda had to switch gears.She misled Henry into thinking that Tina was the one who had drugged him because he was growing distant, and that Tina was trying to drive them apart.And since Linda was hurt that night as well, Henry absolutely loathed Tina over that.However, she knew very well that despite having staged that misunderstanding, Tina was still there, deep inside Henry's heart, and he cared more for her than Tina thought.But despite her unease, she did not afford Henry the time to realize that—as soon as she returned to the country, she used the guilt Henry felt toward her and Rory, manipulating him into hating Sophie.And when she found out about Sophie's kid
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 184
After Henry had broken the cup twice, it was inevitably a difficult task.But he did not give up as he remembered Sophie.And even as he worked, he would look up to check on Tina from time to time as she lay in the giant bed nearby.Once he was sure she was still sound asleep, he would keep working.When he was halfway done, he noticed Tina twitching uncomfortably in her sleep, and he hurried over to place his palm on her forehead.Noticing that she was a little feverish, he went downstairs to get a thermometer to measure her temperature—she had a slight fever.Back when she fainted in Maple Park, she had a fever too.He remembered Carl saying that Tina's immune system has weakened due to poor rest, leading to fever and other symptoms.But if it was not serious, she did not have to take fever pills—he just had to physically lower her body temperature.Heading to the bathroom, he wetted a towel and put it on Tina's head, and he heard her murmuring.Henry remembered how she had

And Henry had regretted not keeping his promise since the day he saw Sophie's sketches of how she imagined their day at the amusement park would go."It's because I didn't go to the amusement park with Sophie, wasn't it?" he asked. "Sophie got upset, and you got upset for her and became disappointed in me?"However…"Look, I didn't mean to. I did not forget—I was even on my way there, but Rory was suddenly sick and had to go to the hospital, and it was a close call. That's why I couldn't show up."Now that Rory is healthy again, it won't happen again. And I promise that I won't ever choose Rory over Sophie."He held Sophie's cup to convey his sincerity, that he really wanted to make amends to Sophie, while trying to explain himself to Tina as peacefully as possible, so that she would calm down and bring Sophie back.He had no idea that he was just rubbing salt into Tina's wound.She stared at the cup for a moment and suddenly held out her hand.Thinking she was moved, Henry han

Devastated, Madam Barnes collapsed in front of Sophie's tombstone, sobbing!She remembered the day she had returned, when she was heading downstairs and overheard Henry snapping at Tina, asking her where Sophie was so that he could bring her over for dinner.Madam Barnes had not remembered Sophie just then and had asked who Sophie was.Tears welled up in Tina's eyes, but she only said that Sophie was someone important to her—that they could meet when the time was right.Come to think of it, Tina must be worried about agitating her and hiding Sophie's death.But it was clear from Henry's question that he did not know that Sophie was dead.He was Sophie's father, but he did not know his own daughter had been dead for so long!How much had Henry abused and neglected Tina and Sophie over the last five years?!That bastard!He called himself a father?!The more Madam Barnes thought about it, the more furious she was, while her heart ached for Tina and the late Sophie.Touching So

Rory asked, "Daddy? Is that my birthday present?"At the same time, she knew very well that if Henry saw what that straw doll really was, he would be absolutely furious.That was why he must not let him see at any cost.However, Henry was still glowering as he threw the gift aside, taking a step forward and glaring at her menacingly. "Show it to me!""Daddy…"More tears gushed from Rory's eyes, as if Henry terrified her.And yet, she gingerly reached out, tugging on the hem of Henry's shirt, chirping sweetly, "Daddy, you're scaring me. Don't look at me like that."At that moment, she was once again the Rory that Henry was so familiar with.Mature and obedient.Kind and innocent.Guileless and harmless.But Henry could not forget about the Rory he saw just now.And seeing that she kept trying to manipulate him, he lost all patience and pushed her aside, while reaching for the blanket with his other hand."Daddy! Don't look!"Rory cried as she lunged over in a panic to stop
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 511
As Henry opened the door, he was left staring in shock as Rory knelt before her own bed, her young, dainty face contorted with sinister malice that did not suit her age.Just seeing that left Henry wondering if this was still the sweet, disciplined Rory whom he knew? He just could not connect that other Rory with the one he was looking at now.As she held a tiny straw doll in one hand and a long needle in the other, cursing Sophie's name while stabbing the needle repeatedly into the straw doll, it was clear that the straw doll was meant to represent Sophie.A fire flared inside Henry's mind—Sophie's death had always been an agony to him, and he owed her plenty and wanted nothing less than to give her a better afterlife.More than that, he yearned for the day that Tina forgave him, and then they could have another child.With that, Sophie could reincarnate and become their daughter once more, so he would have a chance to make amends.When he yearned for those things so much, how

After Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange, watching the footage of Sophie only made him regret even more.He really wanted to go back to seven years ago and beat his past self up violently.Even as he looked tearfully at Sophie—the child of her and Orange's love, so cute and pretty on the screen—he thought she should have grown up pampered as the happiest princess.And yet, he had scorned her even before she was born and treated her with utter insignificance after she was born.Just thinking about how she looked at him, yearning for her fatherly affection, left his heart feeling like it was being stabbed a thousand times over."I'm so sorry, Sophie! Can you come back to me?" he asked, gently brushing his finger against her photo on the gravestone.However, there was no answer to his question, and he felt like he was stabbed again as he kept watching the video alone in the cold winter night.When the video was finished, his tears covered his face.The more Sophie loved

Rory was endlessly confident that she mattered most in her daddy's heart.However, Henry usually arrived very early on her birthdays. When he did not show up by eight, Rory called his number, but no one answered.Still, she was afraid to keep calling and instead texted him.[Daddy, when are you coming?]Once again, there was no answer—he did not pick up as she tried to call later too, and nor did he show up as noon arrived.Even as she felt disheartened, she peered at Linda with the corner of her eye.Linda had gone the extra mile to look pretty, as she had promised to persuade Henry so that they could celebrate her birthday together.She quickly tried to call Henry as there was no sign of him, and they continued to wait all the way to the evening.Meanwhile, Linda had already received the message that Henry had gone to Sophie's grave first thing in the morning and never left since.Furious, she steered her wheelchair and rammed into Rory, knocking her to the floor, all whil
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 508
Linda told Rory that Sophie was Henry's real daughter.Because they were connected by blood, if they spent more time with each other and bonded, Rory would become unimportant because she was not really Henry's daughter.There was no way Rory would let Sophie take her daddy away, so she agreed to let Linda make her sick.Then, Linda waited until Henry was on the way to the amusement park before calling him, to make sure Henry would walk out on Sophie.After that, Linda told her that Sophie had stupidly waited for half a day at the amusement park and died.Sophie was really stupid—she knew that Henry did not love her, but she still thought she could steal Henry away from Rory on her birthday!However, because Sophie died, Henry never took her to the amusement park last year for her, even though he had promised to do it every year.Still, seeing that Henry was silent, she promptly played the mature daughter and said, "It's alright, Daddy—I was just asking. It's okay if you just spe

Henry nodded. "Good."After Andy left and Yancy arrived, Rory already changed into fresh clothes, hugging Henry's arm as she sat beside him on the couch, leaning on him with an utterly clingy look.Yancy went over and examined her before concluding, "She's lucky you found her in time and didn't catch a cold. But you have to be more careful—she's still recovering and wouldn't survive an infection."And with those instructions, Yancy left.The rim of her eyes reddened, Rory knew she was in the wrong and apologized, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I should have behaved instead of making you worry. It won't happen again.""As long as you understand. Don't do something like that ever again," Henry rebuked her, but his tone was gentle.Rory nodded repeatedly and threw herself into his arms As Henry still had work to do, he was going to ask Andy to take her home, but she refused. "It's been two weeks, Daddy. I'll stay with you a little longer. I promise to stay in a corner and read my books withou

Rory was crouching at a corner of the office building, her clothes soaked through and her tiny form curled up.She was trembling in the cold as she looked at Henry."Rory!" Henry's eyes widened and he hurried over, catching some of the rain as his bodyguard could not keep up with him.Still, Henry could not care less as he rushed to Rory's side, taking off his suit jacket and wrapping it around Rory, and then scooped her stiff little body up in his arms.As he did, he felt her hands too—they were as cold as ice, leaving his heart tightening.Her large eyes were filled with tears, and she was not behaving like before.After all, whenever Henry picked her up, she would always hug his neck, calling him 'Daddy' sweetly as she leaned her cheeks on his chest.In the winter rain, the chilling winds cut to the bone.Even though Henry had realized that something was wrong with Rory, he did not ask her immediately, but instead strode into the building with her in his arms and took the el

"I need some rest, Rory," he said, his tone a little cool. "I'll drop by later to visit. Just go home and get some rest."It was meant as a warning to Linda as well, to discourage her from using Rory to bridge the distance between them ever again."Daddy…"However, it was the first time Henry was being that cold toward Rory. Before he could reach her, Andy stopped her, "Please, Rory—Mr. Barnes is really feeling ill and needs rest. If you really care, you should listen instead of bothering him further."Rory pursed her lips as she stood at the doorway, her tears welling up in her eyes as she leveled a doleful look at Henry.However, as Henry closed his eyes and she could not get anything from him, she left, looking back every other step.She was very much panicking—was Henry really angry at her this time?And if Henry did not love her, then Linda would not either.What could she do at that point?Nonetheless, she got downstairs and got into a car parked outside.And seeing h

"It doesn't hurt. Really," John teased, seeing the grim look on Tina's face.Annoyed, Tina shot him a glare and pressed on the cotton bud.John gasped, "Oof…"Tina promptly withdrew her hand but still scoffed. "I thought you said it didn't hurt!""My bad!" John promptly apologized—he simply could not be harsh on her.Still, Tina became even gentler then as she worked meticulously.At the same time, Tina's phone kept jingling with text messages, all of which were from Henry, who kept apologizing.However, she only picked up her phone after disinfecting John's face and did not read a single text as she blocked Henry.John then led her to the main bedroom, where the sheets were already changed.He really was attentive as ever.Nonetheless, Tina was really spent. "Goodnight.""Goodnight," John replied and lit some scented candles to help her sleep, while Tina lay under her warm sheets.Outside, the rain was getting heavier.She thought she would stay wide awake after the night
