“Aren’t you going over, Mr. Cedric?” the maid enquired in bewilderment. Cedric scowled and shook his head. He was unaware of the conflicting feelings and pain in his gaze. She might hit him with the vase if he went over now. His cell phone, which was in vibration mode, buzzed. He took out his cell phone in irritation, looked at the unfamiliar number on it, and rejected the call. His cell phone vibrated again when he was about to slide his cell phone back into his pocket. It was an unread text message. ‘Cedric, I’ll be returning to Carlosia shortly. How have you been?’ There was also a list of flight information below the sentence as well.He suddenly knew who it was. He felt even more conflicted as he looked at the words on the screen.He looked up and felt the raindrop fall onto his eyes. He then stuffed his cell phone into his pocket.The slender figure was gone from view when he opened his eyes once again and glanced at the tombstone. He glanced around and noticed that Sophie had

“What nonsense are you talking about, Cedric?!” Austin was taken aback. His tone became serious as he said, “Sophia is drunk. I’m sending her back.”“Oh, so it’s my wife. In that case, you don't have to trouble yourself.”Cedric tilted his head and rubbed the corner of his lips with his finger. His eyes grew progressively colder in the darkness, but he still grinned and stretched out his hand to pull Sophie into his arms as he grinned even more menacingly and said, “I’ll send my wife home.”Sophie got chills and looked a little confused when she heard Cedric refer to her as his wife. She became aware that at some point Cedric had removed the coat that was slung over her shoulders and hung it on the partially open car door.“Drunk people tend to feel warm. Letting her wear this will make her feel hot.”Austin understood the meaning behind Cedric’s words. He suppressed his concern and smiled faintly as he said, “I’ll leave first, then. You take care of Sophie.”After saying that, Austin

The Carlsons were all preparing to have breakfast in the dining room downstairs. When Jeff saw that Sophie had not come down yet, he glared at Cedric, who was next to him, and said, “Why hasn’t Sophie come down yet? Go and invite her here.”“Dad, why are you asking Cedric to wake her up if she wants to sleep in?” Melissa gave the maid a look as she spoke and gestured for the maid to wake Sophie, but Jeff stopped her. “Because he did something wrong. I want him to go and get her.”Cedric stood up indifferently and went up to the second floor. When he walked to the door, he pulled out a small, exquisitely wrapped pill from his pocket. He had lost control last night and actually came inside her. He put his hand on the door handle but suddenly stopped. After a few moments of frowning and looking down at the pill in his palm, he eventually put it back in his pocket.As soon as Sophie changed and came out of the dressing room, the door was pushed open from outside. She thought that it

Austin’s usual smile returned to his face. In the following moment, he scowled and remarked, "I heard the maids saying that you are moving out when I came back today. Is this true?“Mm-hmm.” Sophie hummed in response. If she didn't have to see Cedric, time would go by more quickly. She would eventually feel glad when the divorce proceedings were over after a month.“I support your decision since you’ve decided to move out. I drove here, so I can drive you there after you’re done packing.”Austin was truly a gentleman. If it was not for his uniform that served as a constant reminder of who he was, it would be difficult for Sophie to imagine that the gentle and warmth man in front of her was a heroic and powerful man.Despite her desire to respectfully decline, Sophie could not bring herself to turn Austin’s offer down after meeting his sincere eyes. “Okay. Thank you.”After she was done packing her luggage, Austin helped her to bring her luggage down. Even though Jeff seemed hesita

Cedric grinned, almost as if he had anticipated her response, then he scooped up the menu from the table and said, “We won’t hold back, then. By the way, you will earn enough to pay for the meal if you reach the upper trading limit after buying more of Carlson Group’s shares.”Sophie knew that he was mocking her for accepting the equity transfer from Jeff. She clenched her fists tighter but kept her temper in check and remained silent. “Give us one of each of the most expensive dishes here.” Cedric skimmed the menu a couple of times and impatiently passed it to the waitress, who was standing aside. The smile on Vivienne’s face froze for a moment before she returned to her former serene expression. Sophie felt as if she was living a posh life during this meal, but she could not help but scowl when she saw the four-digit figure when she paid the bill.Even if the price of Carlson Group's shares reached the trading limit, she would not be able to sell the shares, so she had to use h
