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

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

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

Firing up his computer, Henry clicked into the cloud storage where the security footage was stored.The security cameras were installed the day they moved to the villa, and considering how he had missed out on Sophie's growth, he suddenly wanted to see.However, his phone rang—it was a call from Sam."Master Barnes, your grandmother passed out…"Henry's face dropped, and he promptly dashed out of his study.-When Henry arrived at the hospital, Roger and Whitney were already outside the ER.Tina soon arrived as well, and she could immediately hear Roger scoffing without holding back, "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to stand here?"Tina knew that Roger was upset that she did not follow his orders to publicly confirm her relationship with Henry yesterday, and that she had humiliated the Barnes family.He did not like her in the first place and absolutely loathed her after what had happened yesterday, so she did not take his words to heart or retort—or even lo

Hearing that Madam Barnes was fine, both Henry and Tina breathed a sigh of relief.Tina was especially on edge, and her knees buckled in her relief.Henry quickly reached out to catch her, but she shook him off, rushing after Madam Barnes as Madam Barnes was being wheeled out of the ER.Nonetheless, Madam Barnes remained unconscious for the next 24 hours.Carl examined her from head to toe once more to ensure that she was really fine, but he had no idea when she would wake up either.-Later, Henry returned alone to the villa and headed to his study once more, accessing the security footage saved in the cloud storage.Because he had mistakenly blamed her for what had happened five years ago, all he gave her was money and nothing else.When she was going into labor, he arranged for the best hospital, doctors, as well as a postnatal care center.He was the first to carry Sophie after her birth too, but that was all there is to it.He was busy and rarely returned to the villa, e

Chapter 189

Henry would occasionally bump into Sophie in the drawing room but at most pause for a look and never really cared.But because he was always absent, Tina would hold Sophie in one hand and a photo of him in the other, telling Sophie repeatedly, "This is Daddy!"She started ever since Sophie could recognize faces, even as Sophie slowly grew old enough to say her first word, which was 'Mommy'.Henry watched in the footage of how thrilled Tina had been that she broke into tears and pecked Sophie's little pink cheeks.But despite her excitement, Tina tirelessly continued to teach Sophie, still holding up Henry's photo as Sophie repeated, "Daddy!"And when Sophie had learned to speak, Tina would tell Sophie, "Daddy loves you very much, but he's very busy, so he can't come home."Sophie had been a blank canvas then and would imitate Tina. "Daddy loves Sophie! Sophie loves Daddy!"Because he was absent, Tina would buy Sophie's gifts, clothes, and toys, but always telling her that they w

Chapter 190

Henry was left watching as Sophie's tears flooded her cheeks.The girl had just recovered from a fever and was still sickly as she leaned in Tina's arms, but she kept crying miserably, repeatedly saying that she did not push Rory—that it was Rory who had pushed her and ended up falling into the swimming pool.Seeing Sophie like that, even Henry had trouble doubting her to call her a liar.But would Rory really push Sophie? Impossible! Rory loved Sophie, and it was Rory who had asked to meet Sophie even in the first place.Rory had told Henry then, "I've just returned and don't have any friends, but Mommy told me I have a sister named Sophie. Can I be friends with Sophie?"Then, putting her hand on her chest like an adult, she assured him, "Don't worry, Daddy! I'll definitely take good care of Sophie! I'll share all my toys and clothes with Sophie!"She had been so happy and eager to meet and befriend Sophie. Why would she push Sophie?That was when Henry's phone rang.It was
