After the meal, the sky outside gradually darkened. Inside the dimly lit room, the lingering scent of Jalpurian cuisine mingled with the tense atmosphere, creating an ambiguous allure.The chefs respectfully cleared the tableware and departed, leaving the office quiet once more—so silent that Sophie and Cedric could hear each other's breathing.Sophie pursed her lips, feeling a hint of embarrassment from the lingering taste of salmon. She realized she had momentarily yielded to Cedric's influence, quickly suppressing the faint smile tugging at her lips, yet unable to calm her racing heart.'Sophie Luxford, have you never eaten Jalpurian food before? Why did you succumb to him so easily over just one meal?'Annoyed, she gritted her teeth. She knew her frustration wasn't solely about the meal—it stemmed from the realization that the once arrogantly domineering man she loved was now making an effort to understand her.Deep down, she acknowledged that without Cedric, she had been livi

The pair exited the company, Sophie opting not to join Cedric in his car. Instead, she swiftly opened her own door, ignited the engine, and sped away as if pursued by hungry wolves.Cedric smiled gently. Five years ago, he might have tried to persuade her otherwise, but not now.He lowered himself into his Bentley, started the engine, and trailed her at a distance toward the Bohemian Apartment.It took him too long to grasp a simple truth: he didn't need to drive Sophie home to ensure her safety.Sophie drove steadily, occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror. Despite seeing Cedric's familiar license plate trailing behind, her annoyance gradually subsided unnoticed.They continued smoothly until reaching the apartment building.Suddenly, Cedric accelerated, overtaking Sophie and stopping ahead.Sophie switched off the engine and exited the car.Cedric stood waiting, his tall figure silhouetted against the night sky. His usually cold demeanor softened upon seeing her. There

The elevator doors opened, and Sophie still had her hand pressed tightly against her chest, her face flushed, but gnashing her teeth. 'I actually fled in front of Cedric!'"Mommy, you're back!" Before she could even knock on the door, it swung open from the inside, and a soft little figure rushed into her arms like a gust of wind.Accustomed to such surprises, Sophie quickly regained her composure, smiling as she reached out to pinch the chubby cheeks. However, Cherry dodged sideways.Cherry's big round eyes blinked mischievously, and she lowered her voice, "Mommy, Papa Austin is here."'Austin?' Hearing Austin's name, she instinctively looked into the room and saw him, dressed in a suit, walking toward them from the window with a smile."I went to the client's farm today and picked some fresh cherries. Since Cherry loves them, I brought them over." He gestured toward the exquisitely arranged basket on the coffee table, filled with enticing cherries.But their existence made Soph

After seeing Austin off, Cherry bounced onto the couch, looking excited as if she had just taken a stimulant. "Mommy, are you really going to sign Charlie?""Do you also like Charlie?" Startled by her daughter's enthusiasm, Sophie took the documents to the study.The little girl jumped off the couch and instantly followed her, her hands clasped against her left cheek, her face full of longing for her idol. "Yes, I really, really like him! Mommy, sign him! I want his autograph."Originally, she was not a fan of idols, but her deskmate kept talking about Charlie's TV dramas, saying he was extremely good. She only watched one episode out of curiosity and found it really addictive.The thought of having the opportunity to seize a moment with her idol made Cherry throw all caution to the wind. She wrapped her arms around Sophie's thigh, exclaiming, "Mommy, you must sign him!"Looking at her daughter's excited expression, Sophie was unsure whether to feel helpless or grateful. It was to

"X Corp. doesn't seem to be an agency, Mr. Carlson. Could it be that you plan to expand your business just because of me?" Compared to Cedric's intidating aura, Charlie did not pale much. He smiled and took off his sunglasses, his arrogant gaze now filled with mockery.Cedric finally set down his utensils, his gaze gradually turning colder. "State your conditions, as long as you agree to sign with Paramount Inc."Cedric could not care less which company Charlie would sign with, but he did not want to see Sophie troubled by this matter."Aah, so it's for Paramount. Mr. Carlson, you're really assertive when it comes to spending for your beloved, huh? But I'd advise you to think carefully. Are you really letting me dictate the terms?" Charlie asked playfully.His provocative tone displeased Cedric, causing him to frown, and his cold voice carried an unquestionable dominance. "I'll leave that to you."Anticipating this response, Charlie couldn't help but sneer. He lifted the warm glas

Cedric glanced at the open bottles of whisky on the table, his cold gaze shot toward Charlie across from him.The waitress was already trembling with fear, yet she could only force herself to fill Cedric's glass to the brim.Lifting the glass, he downed it in one gulp. The hard liquor burned his esophagus and stomach lining like fire, but what was even more uncomfortable was his lungs. He struggled to suppress the urge to cough and signaled with his eyes for the waitress to continue pouring.One glass after another, one bottle after another, three bottles of whisky were emptied into his stomach within just a few minutes.Cedric's expression remained unchanged, but the chill in his eyes had already terrified the waitress to the point where her face paled. 'This is bad, Charlie has offended Mr. Carlson. Will I still see him after this?'Charlie fearlessly met his gaze, frowning only briefly. He then stood up. "Mr. Carlson, you do have an excellent tolerance for alcohol, and you must

Jeanna teasingly brought up the incident with the white roses from before, earning Sophie's disdainful eye-roll, who was feeling slightly puzzled.'I haven't heard of any business X Corp. has in Gallia, so why would he suddenly go on a business trip there?'-At the hospital, Cedric laid in the ICU, his complexion though still jaundiced, looked much better than the ashen look he had when admitted.Sean, sitting beside him with his legs crossed, wore a miserable expression as he peeled an apple and complained, "Why am I so unlucky? You decide to compete in a drinking contest with a minor celebrity, and now I'm stuck here at the hospital playing the role of a part-time caretaker. I'm the infamous Mr. Cheshire, for goodness' sake! Can't you hire a professional nurse instead of dragging me into this? I'm missing out on precious time Jean because of you!""Evander is busy overseeing the renovation of my office and handling some matters for X Corp., so he can't come," Cedric explained,

This was the part Sean could not afford to lose the most—not only for himself but also for his precious Jean. How could he let anyone harm it?Just as they were joking around, Dr. Zegler walked in.Sean immediately adjusted his frivolous demeanor. "Dr. Zegler, can Cedric be discharged already?""You young folks are always acting so recklessly," Dr. Zegler said with a slightly reproachful tone. He then turned to look at Cedric lying on the hospital bed. "Mr. Carlson, as your attending physician, I have the responsibility to remind you that your body needs time to recuperate. If something like this happens again, it might leave behind a chronic illness for the rest of your life."When one was still young, one could tough it out with some medication when illness struck. But as one aged, one would understand how foolish it was not to care for the body.Knowing that Dr. Zegler was looking out for his well-being, Cedric replied, "I'll try my best to avoid any recurrence.""That's good.
