All Chapters of Love Like Falling Petals: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

When Luke returned home, he discovered that the house was no longer the same as before.The living room was so clean it looked as if no one lived there, and the familiar scent of orange fragrance, which had always been Sophie's favorite, was gone.If he hadn't opened the door himself, Luke would have doubted whether he had entered the wrong place. A sense of panic quickly overwhelmed him.He tried to calm himself, calling out to Sophie as he usually did, but his voice trembled uncontrollably."Sophie... Sophie, are you home?"But the house was eerily quiet, with no response whatsoever.He frantically rushed into the bedroom, hoping to find some trace of Sophie, but not a single sign of her remained.All the couple's items—mugs, cushions, dolls—had completely vanished.What broke Luke's heart even more was the once photo-covered wall, now completely bare.It felt as if all the happy memories they shared had never truly existed.They had promised to keep taking photos together

When Charles saw the two entangled in a tug-of-war, his face turned red with fury, and he shouted angrily, "Luke, what are you doing? Let go of Helen! Be careful not to hurt the child!"Luke froze in his tracks but still refused to release Helen's hand. His reddened eyes betrayed his agitation as he tried to explain."Dad, Sophie wants to divorce me because of this. I can't let this mistake continue, and I suspect the child in Helen's womb isn't even mine!"Charles turned to Helen, his expression filled with doubt."Helen, explain yourself. What's really going on with this child?"Helen steadied herself and said tearfully, "This child truly is Mr. Shaw's. I don't know what Sophie said to him to make him doubt me, but please, you have to believe me."Hearing Helen continue to slander Sophie, Luke's face turned dark with anger.He let go of Helen's hand and, without hesitation, slapped her hard across the face."Shut up! I won't let you defame Sophie! She didn't do anything wrong

His eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Helen, full of rage, saying, "You liar! You bitch, you've ruined our entire family!"Seeing Luke starting to lose control, Helen's face filled with panic as she desperately tried to come up with excuses."No, Mr. Shaw, this is all a misunderstanding. It's possible the child inside my womb is yours. Please let me go...""After I give birth to the baby, we can do a paternity test. If it's not yours, I'll leave you to deal with it. Please, I beg you, let me go..."But the more she spoke, the angrier Luke became.Without mercy, he slapped her across the face, his voice icy. "You think you can still deceive me? You're not leaving today, and the child won't stay either! You've hurt Sophie, forced us to divorce, and caused chaos in the Shaw family. You're responsible for all of this, and you must be punished!"Helen covered her face, collapsing to the ground, fully aware that it was all over. Her dream of entering a rich family had completely sh

Meanwhile, Helen was sent into the emergency room.After three hours of surgery, they still couldn't save the baby in her womb.The trauma from this accident also meant that she would never be able to conceive again.Upon hearing this news, Linda came to see her, but her tone was no longer as kind as before, instead, it was full of mockery."This is the consequence of you deceiving us! Don't you know your place? A poor student from the rural areas, and you dared to dream of rising through marriage! Just stay here, and when Luke brings back Sophie, you will kneel and apologize to her. Only then will she forgive you, and you’ll be allowed leave."Helen seemed to be in a daze, and she suddenly laughed out loud."Ridiculous! Truly ridiculous! You are all so hypocritical. It was you who were so eager to drive Sophie away back then. Now that she can save a life, you treat her like a treasure, but you turn around and mock me. Don't you find that disgusting?"Linda's face flushed red wi

After that day, Sophie completely accepted and let go of the unpleasant experiences back home.She had skillfully integrated all those feelings of love and hatred into her works, becoming more and more serene.Her creative style also changed with her mood, becoming completely different from the rest of her colleagues.One day, while Sophie was sketching, a gentle male voice came from behind."Your style is indeed very unique. No wonder Prof. Brown speaks so highly of you. You truly have a great sense of creativity."Sophie turned around in surprise and softly asked, "Who are you? I don't think I've met you before."The man smiled, extended his hand, and said warmly, "Hello, I'm Simon Lawson, also a student of Prof. Brown. I graduated and came here to study abroad, so I guess I'm your senior."‘Simon Lawson?’Sophie repeated the name in her mind and finally remembered who he was.He was the senior that Prof. Brown often mentioned, and he was also the organizer of this exchange
