"Oh, I'm off to school," Tristan obediently turned back. His greatest fear was upsetting his parents."Good boy. Remember what Mommy told you? Don't let Daddy, your teachers, or your classmates know that you can't see well. We don't want them to worry about you.""Understood, Mommy," Tristan said, nodding earnestly.Vivienne felt a sense of relief seeing his compliance. 'Just four more days…'If Tristan could just manage until Jeff's birthday party, things would start to look up. Contemplating her scheme, a sly smile crept across her face.'Sophie, fortune may not always favor you. Who will have the last laugh remains to be seen!'-After a hectic day, Sophie returned home, feeling weary but grateful she had agreed to attend the birthday party.Mrs. Carrie noticed her exhaustion and immediately offered assistance. "You look so tired. Why not take a bath first? I’ve made dinner, but Cherry snuck a chicken leg, so it can wait.""Thanks, Mrs. Carrie. You've been a great help thes

Sophie sensed Cherry's thoughts just by looking at her and gently patted her head. "Whatever you decide, Mommy will help you with it."Mrs. Carrie was pleasantly surprised at how effortlessly she had completed Jeff's task. She quickly served dinner, the aroma of chicken legs immediately capturing Cherry’s attention. After all, a well-fed mind was more conducive to creative thinking.Sophie settled down to eat, but her phone rang just as she was about to start.Checking the caller ID, she hesitated before answering. It was Austin, his voice calm and reassuring. "Hi, Sophie, I'm downstairs at your apartment."Glancing out the window instinctively, Sophie stood up and replied, "I'll be right down.""Mommy, is that Papa Austin?""Yes, darling. Mommy needs to step out for a bit. You go ahead and eat with Mrs. Carrie. Don't wait for me." She smiled warmly at Cherry and grabbed her coat before heading out.-Austin was waiting under the faint glow of the streetlight, his eyes fixed on

At Luxford Group.Jeanna was taken aback when she heard that Sophie had accepted the invitation to Jeff's birthday party and would be attending with Austin."Wow, you actually agreed!""Did you expect me to hide away like a coward?" Sophie replied with determination.She was firm in her decision and refused to let regrets hold sway, especially considering her goals: to wish Jeff a happy birthday and to clarify the rumors about her and Austin."It's not about being a coward," Jeanna remarked, giving her a scrutinizing look. "But aren’t you concerned about encountering Vivienne there? That could be awkward.""What's there to be awkward about?" Sophie shrugged. If there was any awkwardness, she believed it would be on Vivienne’s end."Just a heads-up, be careful. Vivienne might try something at the party," Jeanna warned."You’re right, Jean. Vivienne won't let things go after being outsmarted," added Linda, though she knew that once Sophie had made up her mind to attend the party,

As Cedric observed Evander's hesitation, he frowned slightly. "But what?""The boutique manager mentioned that Mr. Austin from Carlson Group also ordered two gowns for Ms. Luxford," Evander cautiously shared, watching Cedric's reaction.Cedric’s expression didn't reveal annoyance but rather a slight smile. Given the challenging situation with Sophie, and now with Austin in the picture, his reaction was unexpected."Are you alright, Mr. Carlson?" Evander asked, puzzled by Cedric's surprisingly light mood.He wondered, 'An infection might start with the leg but wouldn’t quickly spread to the brain, would it?'"Shouldn’t I be?" Cedric responded, mischief glinting in his eyes. He knew he and Jeff had plans for the birthday party, and now Austin was also in the mix. It seemed his carefully chosen gown was in vain.Evander was uncertain how to proceed, but Cedric had already moved on. "How’s the preparation with Immanuel?""Here’s the agreement we received. What if Ms. Kerrigan refuse

Noticing Cedric’s distant gaze, Vivienne chimed in with a smile. "Haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Wendy prepared your favorite dishes knowing you were coming. Let’s eat.""Daddy, it's been so long since we had dinner together," Tristan said, tugging at Cedric's arm with an eager look. He stirred a sense of warmth in Cedric's heart."Alright, let’s eat." Cedric took his seat and naturally asked about Tristan's school life, "How’s school? Are you keeping up with the lessons?"Tristan almost lowered his head, recalling his mother's instructions. He then lifted it and nodded. "Yes, everything's going well. I understand the teachers, and my classmates are starting to like me more.""That's good," Cedric replied, gently ruffling his hair.Vivienne clenched her hand under the table and quickly added, "Tristan's been doing very well. His teachers have noticed significant improvement.""I see." Cedric mussed Tristan's hair a bit more before starting his meal."Daddy, it’s been so long

"Mommy, you're lying to me. Many people say I'm sick and a fool, so Great-grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa don’t like me. They don’t want to see me at all." Tristan's tears fell, blurring his already unclear vision. Although his mother had told him to cry, his heart was genuinely hurting.'Why don’t Great-grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa like me?'"Nonsense! You are my son, no one will dislike you," Cedric said, his brows furrowing in anger.Despite being frightened, Tristan lifted his tear-streaked face, "Daddy, can you take me to Great-grandpa’s birthday party tomorrow? I made a gift for him."Vivienne began to scold, "Tristan, why can’t you understand—"However, Cedric interjected, "Daddy will take you to Great-grandpa’s birthday party.""Really?"Seeing his tear-stained face brighten with joy, Cedric nodded. "You are my son. Of course, you can go.""That’s great! I can go to Great-grandpa’s birthday!" Tristan's face brightened with joy."Alright, Daddy has agreed to take you. No

"Tristan is a sensitive child who cares deeply about others' opinions. He truly wishes for your family to approve of him."For his sake, I implore you not to announce our engagement cancellation publicly tomorrow, especially not in front of Tristan. We wouldn’t want him to become the subject of gossip among the guests, nor do we want Grandpa’s birthday to turn into a scandal, right?"The disrupted plan caused Cedric’s brow to furrow, but he quickly made his decision. "I agree. Tomorrow, I will come to pick up Tristan. Ensure the agreement is signed!"As Cedric’s cold figure retreated, Vivienne stood from the couch and revealed a calculating smile as she watched the closed door.'Cedric, I didn’t expect you to be this heartless. Very well, let's see whom you choose between Sophie and Tristan!'-The birthday party was scheduled for noon.Sophie had asked for a leave of absence for Cherry, and after breakfast, they both began getting ready."Mommy, doesn’t the gift from Godmother

Matthew glanced outside, noting it was time for Cedric and Austin to arrive.A flashy red Ferrari pulled up at the villa entrance. Sean, clad in a sharp black suit, swiftly emerged, opening the passenger door.Jeanna stepped out reluctantly, donning a white off-the-shoulder dress that exuded both sexiness and charm. Her slender collarbone, emphasized by a classic diamond necklace, drew attention.Sean attempted to take her hand, but she disdainfully brushed him off. "Stop pulling at me.""Jean, consider how I’ve only had eyes for you these past years. Spare me from being embarrassed, will you? My affection for you waxes and wanes like a monthly cycle—sporadic and brief," Sean lamented.For half a decade, aside from Jeanna, he had not genuinely pursued another, yet he found himself continually on the losing end."It's not my problem. I'm only your date because I'm worried about Sophie being bullied. Just thinking about confronting Cedric and Vivienne makes my blood boil," Jeanna r

Jeanna playfully blinked, intentionally glancing toward Austin and raising her usually soft voice. "Mr. Carlson, you look so handsome today, especially in that white suit, like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. Standing next to our Sophie, you two are a perfect match."Sean, what do you think? Don’t they look great together?"Caught off guard, Sean looked troubled as he glanced between Jeanna and an unamused Cedric. After a moment, he hesitantly agreed with Jeanna. "Yeah, the colors do match well."He was torn between his best friend and his future wife, yet Austin's white suit did complement Sophie's pink dress.Cedric, in a sleek black suit, exuded a cold, aristocratic aura. His sharp gaze swept over Sophie’s dress, revealing a fleeting sense of loss. She was not wearing the dress he had chosen.Tristan tugged at his hand and smiled for the first time since they arrived, having heard Cherry’s voice. To Cherry, his smile seemed like a challenge.Unhappily blinking, she reac

Amidst the growing whispers, Sophie remained composed, having anticipated such a scene since agreeing to attend the party with Austin. Still, she was taken aback by Cedric only bringing Tristan.Realizing her gaze had drifted toward Cedric again, Sophie quickly looked away.Jeff, seemingly oblivious to the murmurs, warmly greeted Cherry, "Little Cherry, come here to Great-grandpa."Hearing him, Cherry immediately released Austin's hand and walked over, her voice as sweet as honey. "Great-grandpa, I wish you a long and healthy life. I’ve prepared a special gift for you with Mommy."She proudly presented her gift, and Jeff's face lit up with delight. He eagerly asked for his reading glasses.He then beamed. "What have Cherry and Mommy prepared for me?""It’s a painting," Sophie revealed, unfolding the artwork.Despite Cherry's intelligence and charm, her artistic skills were quite basic. Pointing at her abstract and childlike creation, she explained, "This is Great-grandpa, this i
