"My mommy doesn't have to say anything!" Just as Sophie was about to speak, a loud and clear voice echoed from the staircase, instantly drawing everyone's attention."Oh my, who's this pretty little girl?""I think she just called Sophie her mommy just now."Discussions once again blew up in the crowd.With people crowding the stairs, Cherry had no choice but to raise her head and yell, "Excuse me!"Her crisp and youthful voice, though filled with dissatisfaction, sounded particularly pleasant.Soon, a passage opened up in the crowded corridor.Sasha looked at Sophie helplessly as she followed behind Cherry. They had already arrived at the door of the room, but this mischievous imp had suddenly turned around and dashed backward. Everything had happened so fast that even she could not stop her!Cedric's eyes narrowed at the tiny face that was approaching, his gaze fixing on it intensely. The resemblance was uncanny as if he and the girl were carved from the same mold.The hands

In just a few minutes, the much-anticipated "Daddy" arrived at the scene.When the onlookers saw that it was Austin, they were all shocked.When Cherry emerged just now, her face bore a striking resemblance to Cedric's. Moreover, Sophie and Cedric were once a couple, leading everyone to presume Cherry was Cedric's daughter.However, with Austin entering the picture, things became a tad more complex."Daddy, someone bullied me and Mommy. You must avenge us!" Cherry said, throwing herself into Austin's arms. Her tone was pleading, and her posture sought protection, which only seemed to worsen Cedric's expression.Austin rubbed the little head in his arms, reached out to hold Sophie on one side, and gently pulled her into his arms. At that moment, his broad chest felt like the most powerful support, protecting the mother and daughter from everything."How did you get bullied?" Austin's tone softened, but his gaze toward Cedric and Vivienne became icy and stern.Sophie felt somewhat

Back in the room, Cherry snuggled into the pink bed, her big round eyes getting more and more bloodshot. Before long, tears started streaming down the sides of her face."Mommy scolded me! Mommy's so mean! Bad Mommy!" Her aggrieved voice sounded choked with tears. Large teardrops gushed down even more fiercely, wetting a large area of the pink sheets.After wiping away her tears, Cherry waddled over to the bookshelves, pulled out a drawing album from the corner where it was least likely to be seen, and sat down on the carpet.Opening the album revealed a collection of drawings, some appearing eerily chaotic. It was difficult to discern their meaning. The only recognizable features were human heads, encircled by dark streaks that vaguely resembled beards."You're the worst! I hate you! I'll never draw you again. Cherry doesn't need a daddy like you!" As she complained, she forcefully tore at the pages, ripping them into pieces. In a matter of minutes, the abstract masterpieces had t

"As for Cherry, you've got less ground to bring her into this. Have you forgotten your child passed away in the hospital and then tragically in the cold seawater five years ago? And you're the one who allowed all these to happen?!" Sophie refuted.'I went through hell to save Cherry, and then bring her into this world. She's got no connection to that.'The scab on Cedric's heart was mercilessly torn open. Cedric let go of her, looked at the hatred in her eyes, and stepped backward.'She hates me! And I deserve it!'"I won't let my daughter call anyone else 'Daddy'!" Leaving the message behind, he turned and walked into the elevator. His posture was still upright, but an indescribable loneliness shrouded his body.It was not until the number above the elevator stopped at 1 that Sophie propped her arms against the wall by the door.Five years may have passed, but she still felt a deep panic whenever she faced Cedric, no matter how composed she seemed on the surface.She then looke

Tristan was born abroad and had always been with his mother. Regardless of the laws in any country, they favored granting custody to the mother. He mentioned a 60% chance partly because of Cedric's identity and status."Mr. Carlson, personally, I suggest seeking custody through other means."For example, through friendly negotiations between both parties, although certain conditions would need to be attached.Cedric frowned slightly. "I see."'Despite my advantage in status, I only have a 60% chance of gaining custody of Tristan. It's no wonder Sophie dares to bring our daughter back here.' For the first time in over 30 years, he felt overpowered by someone, with the victory seemingly in the other party's hands.Despite this thought, he faintly smiled, his gaze briefly indulgent. 'Sophie, rather than battling for custody of Cherry, what I truly desire is to provide her with a complete family.'-At Luxford Group.Even though it was during working hours, it felt like they were h
