Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 56
With those words, Tina put away the magazine, ignoring Linda as she opened the door and left.Linda was left gritting her teeth.Trying to steal Henry from her?! Dream on!Still, she quickly composed herself and headed out with a smile.Glancing at Tina as she used the printer, Linda suddenly asked out loud, "Everyone! Why don't we have dinner together tonight?"Someone asked jokingly, "Are you buying?"Linda smiled and nodded. "Yes, Henry just called, saying that he's inviting everyone to Orange Tower tonight to celebrate my new job. Is everyone here able to make it?""Yes, yes, of course!""We're talking about Orange Tower! I'll go even if hell rains down upon me! The food is extraordinary, and we can have a taste thanks to Linda!"It was both a joke and a statement of fact—Orange Tower was the most famous restaurant in Jadelight and a subsidiary of Barnes Group.Only the rich and powerful got to go there."It's really nothing. Just make sure to order anything you like." L
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 57
However, Henry did not distance himself and was clearly waiting for Linda to explain herself.Tina was left smirking—so that was the difference between the loved and unloved.Linda had already admitted to winning by unsavory means, something which Henry despised, but he was still willing to let her defend himself.What about Tina? Linda just needed to say the word, and Henry would find her guilty even without proof.Scenes of the past flashed in Tina's mind just then.If she did not explain herself, she was confessing.If she did, it was sophistry.If she snapped, she was just being crazy.As grief and bitterness welled up within her, Tina's nose turned runny, but it all only came to a cool chuckle. "Heh."Henry heard it and looked up at her, narrowing his eyes dangerously.Tina's smile turned cool, as the answer was obvious—she had lost.She did not linger and returned to Tidal Court.She never hoped for Henry to see Linda's true face with this much anyway, let alone get
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 58
Releasing Henry's arm just then, Linda walked up to her seat, picking up her glass and pouring it full. "Sorry I have to leave early, but let's have a toast!"Tina did not move, so Linda stared pointedly at her.As everyone else followed suit, Tina had no choice but to take a half-hearted sip.She was already tipsy after drinking a little earlier.On the other hand, as Linda chugged her drink, she wobbled as she put her glass down, falling unsteadily into Henry's arms.Rubbing her temples as if sick, her gaze was unfocused as she purred, "I'm feeling faint… Let's go home, Henry."That last part was clearly to tell everyone how intimated they were."Yeah." Henry nodded, putting a hand around her waist and leading her out of Tidal Court.But as he turned, his gaze darkened as he glanced at Tina again, who kept her head down and never looked at him.-Everyone was clearly relieved about Henry's departure nonetheless—even if they were keen to meet a big-shot like him, the formles

However, Henry stayed outside and growled, "Take her home."With that, he shut the door.Linda had her eyes closed, ready for Henry to do anything he liked to her when he heard the door shut.Her eyes were suddenly wide open, her drunkenness all gone.She sat up, staring in disbelief at the empty backseat for a moment before opening the door and grabbing Henry's wrist. Looking at him with dewy eyes, she asked meekly, "Where are you going, Henry? Aren't you taking me home?"Henry stared at her coolly with a look that seemed to stop her breath, leaving her unable to purr any further.She knew him too well and naturally knew that he was furious.She thought that Henry's willingness to show up with her at Tidal Court meant that he loved her so much he would abandon his principles for her.This was the first time she had done something like that anyway, and it was insignificant compared to his life.But she was wrong, and it left her panicking—Henry's love was the only thing she

As Henry approached, his powerful masculine musk shrouded her, with Linda's perfume in the mix.The combination of the two—the hint of flirting—left Tina retching. "Bleurgh!""Don't you dare!"Henry's face dropped, and he promptly released her to sidestep away, remembering how Tina had vomited into his face before.Still, Tina did not let it out—she seized the moment to stride toward a bench, reclining against it to ease her dizziness.Once she caught her breath, she ignored Henry and whipped out her phone, ready to call for a cab.Henry stood there, watching her with an impassive gaze before taking out his phone too and tapped on the screen a few times before pocketing it again.Before Tina could get a cab, a bank app notification appeared on her screen.She tapped on it and was left staring at a wire transfer from Henry, and she frowned at the number of zeros.What?Tina was too sluggish from alcohol to understand, until Henry's deep voice spoke overhead, "It's twice the pr

Henry was ready to jump into the pond when he saw Tina stand up, and he scowled as he forcefully grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the pond.Then, he quickly took off her coat and wrapped her in his to block off the chill.Tina tried to struggle as his scent filled her nostrils again, but he held her by the waist firmly in his arms, looking her in the eye. "Go on, fight it. Call in sick on your second day at work."Tina settled down, and Henry scooped her up in his arms.There was no one in the garden given the weather, but it was bustling at the entrance.Not keen on being seen, Tina pulled up the lapels to hide her face.Henry watched her, his gaze darkening.-The manager had arranged for a car, and Henry carried Tina inside.Still, she pulled away as soon as they were in, pressing herself against the car door while telling the chauffeur, "Maple Park, please."With those words, he turned to stare outside the window, very obviously ignoring Henry's presence.Henry star

Henry's dark gaze then lingered on Tina's lips that were purple from the cold, and he released her hand."Turn around!" she snapped."Hehe."Henry chuckled in amusement despite her serious glare, as if to ask if there was an inch of her body he had not seen or touched.What was the point of looking away?Still, Tina remained silent and kept glaring, only taking off her pants when he turned but still watching him from the corner of her eye.She arched her back, struggling as the fabric was clinging to her skin, while her coat fell off.Unbeknownst to her, the car window was reflective.And even though it was just a vague image, Henry knew her body all too well.As he stared at her reflection, he recalled her long, fair legs coiling around his hips countless times.She had been soft and tame, assuming a million different positions as he did what he liked to her.He gulped, his eyes darkening as if he could devour her in an instant.Tina managed to pull her wet pants off with
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 63
It was precisely because Tina was well aware that Henry had broken his promise that all these sketches were Sophie's imagination.Every brush and stroke was a knife that cut into her heart—Sophie's expectation and love hurt her all the more.She could not help wondering how disappointed Sophie must have been, waiting in the blistering cold for over half a day, but her father never showed up.No, he never even showed up as she was dying, instead taking Rory to Wonderland.How hurt had she been then?Tina's tears blurred her vision instantly and welled out of her eyes.-Meanwhile, Henry could not find Tina in the main bedroom after cooking some soup and strode over to Sophie's room when he noticed the light inside.He entered to find Tina sitting quietly in front of Sophie's desk.She did not hear him even though he was being loud.He strode over, about to ask what caught her attention, when he noticed the sketches on the table.It was the caption above that caught his attent

The instant Tina tapped on the notification, she found Henry kneeling outside her door, motionless.She swiped through her phone and saw that most notifications were from Henry, with the first of many being sent at three in the morning.That meant Henry had driven straight to her place after leaving Rose Garden and knelt outside her door for almost four hours.But Tina remained unaffected.Remembering the video John had sent earlier, she had a hunch that Henry was outside after he became aware of Rory's true nature.She soon tapped out of the notifications and kept chatting with John since she found herself in a good mood first thing in the morning.When John said he had yet to have breakfast, Tina could read between the lines and did not play dumb, telling him that she would cook extra portions for him when he came over.John replied: [Already on my way.]Tina could not resist a smile. [Drive safe. See you soon.]After putting down her phone, she went about her daily routine—
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 519
It was an especially long night, and every passing second was especially gruelling as Henry stayed on his knees outside Tina's door, like his heart was being stabbed.-When Tina woke up, she noticed that John had just texted her a minute ago.[Are you up?]Tina smiled ever so faintly as she replied: [Mornin'.][There's a video you should watch.][Okay.]While waiting for the video to be sent to her phone, she noticed many notifications from her alarm system.It was the first time this had happened since she moved in, and she was about to tap on it when John's file was downloaded.Tina tapped on the video first and immediately recognized that it was taken outside Rsoe Garden when she tapped on it.A familiar car was outside Linda's villa—it was Henry's.Tina's gaze cooled as she looked on.Yesterday was Sophie's death anniversary and also Rory's birthday.And given how much Henry doted on Rory, it was not hard to see that he went to the Rose Garden after visiting Sophie's
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 518
As Henry's car soon disappeared in the night, Rory was left behind and too exhausted to give chase.She lay sprawled on the ground, watching as Henry left her, and her body's warmth slowly faded.Her gaze was endlessly horrified and helpless.Was he really going to leave her?-After leaving Rose Garden, Henry drove straight to Tina's apartment, having paid a hefty sum to buy the adjacent units to hers after finding out that she had moved there.He drove into the car park but stayed downstairs.The apartment complex was very quiet as it was three in the morning, but his heart could not quiet down at all.After all, he had been horrified since the moment he exposed Rory's two-faced nature.It was so obvious, but he just did not see it!He really was too overjoyed from the reunion when Linda showed up, passing herself off as Orange.The delight of the lost and found was just too much, and he cared even more for Linda when she told him that Mama Orange was dead, and how much su
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 517
It was such a horrible sight that Henry eased his foot off the gas pedal before he knew it, and his car clearly slowed.To Rory, it was a ray of hope—just as she thought, he loved her and could not really bear to leave her.He must be heartbroken to see how much she loved him and chased him until she got hurt.With that thought, her utterly discouraged spirit was once again soaring.So what if Sophie was his real daughter?! She was dead! And all a dead person could do was lay six feet under, unable to do a thing!But Rory was different—even if she was not connected to Henry by blood, she was alive.That meant she could sweet-talk him, whispering nice words to cajole him.And what could dead Sophie do about that?Hence, Rory found renewed strength despite being exhausted and started crawling toward Henry's car, bawling as she did.She had a clear objective and did not care that her hands and knees were scraped through."Daddy… Look at me… It hurts so much… Daddy…"As Rory g

Henry paused as he turned and suddenly turned toward Rory.Despite her leveling a miserable look at Henry with her eyes swollen from tears, he was still not relenting.In fact, he was endlessly cold as he glared at her with a cool look that cut to the bone."I'm telling you one last time—don't call me Daddy, you hear?"Rory had only seen him give Tina and Sophie that look before and had never expected him to look at her the same way now.She was left trembling endlessly, her lips parting as she really wanted to call out to him and sweet-talk him like she always did.But that icy glare left her speechless, and she could only watch as Henry turned and strode off, his footsteps soon fading into the distance.Did he really hate her now? Was he leaving her?Even as the thought struck her, she shook her head repeatedly!No! Henry could not leave her! She could not lose him! "Daddy!" She finally called out again as she leapt out of bed and started running without putting on her sho
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 515
However, was Rory really innocent?Henry might have believed Linda if he had not seen what Rory did with his own eyes—how malicious she looked when she cursed Sophie, and how vile the words she breathed were!Just remembering the sight left him shuddering.Not even a normal adult should have been capable of such vile words, and Rory was only seven!But what frightened Henry the most was how she was once again the good girl Rory as soon as she turned and saw him.She could switch between her personalities as if it was second nature, just like what Linda always did behind his back.The phrase 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree' really came to mind!Why could he not just see that from the start?!Rory had grown up by Linda's side, and Linda was a mother who was so immaculate with her pretensions.With such influence, would Rory have been all that different?"Adopt Rory, you say?" Henry breathed so quietly that no one could tell what he was really feeling just then.But s
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 514
Linda already had some choice words in mind for Rory after Henry never showed up today.So, her eyes were flaring in annoyance when she opened them, as Rory made such a loud ruckus past midnight, waking her up.She was ready to give Rory a beating as she moved from her bed to her wheelchair and headed to the next room.That was when she heard Henry's voice.She did not rush inside, however, and eavesdropped outside, cursing Rory's incompetence when she realized what just happened! Rory could not even do one thing right and had to let Henry catch her cursing that brat!At this point, Linda was well aware that any chances she had of getting back together with Henry depended entirely on Rory, so she must not let Henry become disappointed in Rory.Rory was her trump card. And if she lost her trump card, she had no shot of getting Henry back.And how could she accept something like that?!She had stayed by his side, putting up an act for years! How could she just allow herself to

It had never crossed Henry's mind that Rory was lying.He was prejudiced and had absolutely fought with Sophie, insisting endlessly that Rory would never lie.But was Sophie lying just because Rory did not?At this very moment, Henry did not even dare to think about how many lies Rory had told him over the years.And because he had absolute faith in Rory, how many times he had glazed over the facts and blamed Sophie!"Daddy…" Rory was truly terrified now, clutching her cheek where Henry slapped her in disbelief while her tears welled up in her eyes.In truth, Henry did not hit her that hard—he was holding back, compared to the times her mother had slapped her.But her heart hurt.Her daddy… The daddy she loved so much, the daddy who spoiled her so much and never raised his voice at her, slapped her because of Sophie!He did not just forget her birthday because of Sophie—he even struck her now!But she did not blame him.It was all Sophie's fault—and she hated Sophie even m

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
