Chapter 431

Author: Summer Blossom
"Love is one of the greatest emotions a person can feel. The deeper the love, the deeper the pain. I understand what you're going through," Clive said comfortingly.

"I'll visit you every day to talk. It's not easy to move on, but having someone to confide in can help release the pain."

Edward nodded and said, "Thank you. My family doesn't understand what I'm feeling. They just tell me to give up immediately, or even threaten me.

"I was already in pain. Their threats only added more psychological torment."

Meanwhile, in the consultation room at the hospital's psychiatric department, Yosef had an unpleasant expression as he looked at Clive. He asked, "Did he really say that? That I pressured him and made his depression worse?"

"Yes. Mr. Fowler calmly told me that, but I could clearly see the pain and struggle he's going through," Clive replied.

"You're his grandfather—the closest person to him. I know your intentions are good, but your methods have been a bit too forceful. They

    Yosef figured that the harder Edward had to tough it out, the better the lesson would stick. If they kept bailing him out, wouldn't that spoil him even more?"You're worse than I am when it comes to spoiling him," Yosef said. "He's a grown man, not a toddler still sucking his thumb."Nolan didn't dare respond. He'd looked after Edward since he was a child, so naturally, he wanted to protect him. But with Yosef's orders, his hands were tied.Edward's appeal got shot down, but he didn't give up. He insisted on talking to his grandfather.Yosef agreed to talk and was curious to hear what excuse Edward would come up with this time."Grandpa, I've taken a hard look at everything I did. I was wrong, impulsive, and way out of line…" Edward opened his plea with a straight-up apology and owned up to his mistakes."The psychiatrist says my emotions are under control now. I'm more than capable of handling my usual work, and I've been fully committed to treatment…"He made his case with the

    Sean sent the recently unblocked contact a photo with a simple question. His text read, "You used to have dinners like this too, right?"On the other end, Edward instantly responded with his own message. It read, "Go to hell! You son of a bitch! Eat all you want and choke on it. I hope you get food poisoning and end up in a box by tomorrow."While looking at the malicious words that were about to overflow the screen, Sean just blinked in surprise. He wondered if that reaction was really called for. Did he step on Edward's tail or something? After all, it was just a question. Sean hadn't even meant it as a flex but just a casual inquiry. But clearly, Edward had taken it the wrong way and wasn't letting up since he was still firing off insults like a madman.Sean might've humored him earlier at lunch, but he wasn't in the mood now. He couldn't be bothered to argue with a guy throwing tantrums like a middle schooler, so he simply blocked him again.He shook his head at the thought.

    Before Xavier could finish speaking, Sean narrowed his eyes and sharply warned, "Don't even think about it."Xavier froze for a second. He was caught off guard by the sudden chill in his friend's tone. When he came to, he snapped, "Relax, it was just a thought. Why are you so angry?""There is no what-if. Macie is my sister's friend. Don't expect me to stay polite if you try anything with her." Sean's voice was calm but laced with warning.Xavier blinked. He wondered if that was it—Sean's entire reason. It made sense for Sean to look out for Alice, but now it seemed that he was doing the same with Macie."Wait a sec. Don't tell me that you're into Macie?" Xavier asked.Sean didn't rush to deny it like he usually would. But before he could say anything, Xavier added, "Whatever. It's not my business, anyway."It seemed that Sean was either already into Macie and wouldn't admit it, or he hadn't even realized it yet. Some guys would rather bite their own tongue than confess. Xavier t

    On the other end of the call, Sean was momentarily speechless after being criticized by Xavier. "I didn't do anything. Macie and I have already made amends. We're on good terms now," he argued."Yeah, sure. Like anyone's buying that," Xavier shot back as he rolled his eyes. "She'd rather sit through a gynecologist appointment than mention your name."Sean pursed his lips and fell silent.He wondered if he was genuinely really that hard to talk to. It was just one simple request. But instead of asking him directly, she'd rather go through all that alone.They had at least made amends. Even if they weren't friends, he was still Alice's brother. So, asking him for help shouldn't have been out of the question."So quit making excuses," Xavier said bluntly. "Even if you've supposedly turned over a new leaf, she still flinches at your name. That says it all."Sean was silent for a moment. "I'll talk to her myself," he finally said."Hey, no, don't do it," Xavier interjected. "Just do

    Macie's gaze didn't waver. She wouldn't have to wait one year anymore. Instead, she could head straight to the second trial and finalize the divorce.When she said that, Xavier fell silent. In his office, he leaned back with one leg crossed over the other. His mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened in disbelief.Was Edward truly unable to perform? Xavier couldn't believe that he was genuinely impotent. Then, how'd he even get a mistress? He wondered if they were just helping each other out… manually.Could the powerful CEO of Fowler Group, the chosen heir, the only legitimate heir, really have bedroom problems?If that news were published, the Fowlers would never live it down. The whole industry would laugh at them for years.Naturally, Xavier couldn't say any of that to the pure and innocent Macie. His expression shifted to something more cautious as he probed for gossip."Does Edward have a physical issue? That would be solid proof," he said."I don't know if it's physical,"

    Macie felt a chill run down her spine. If she lost the appeal and was forced back into a relationship with Edward, would that be a death sentence?She had never imagined that getting divorced could be this difficult. She thought that the prenup and the first trial's outcome had settled everything. But now, it all felt like a cruel joke.She didn't meet the legal standards that Xavier had listed. There was no evidence of "severe harm" or a pattern of domestic violence. The bone fracture injury was serious, but it wasn't enough.And that was the only injury she'd documented. The blisters on her feet? She'd simply gotten an ointment from the hospital. And technically, that wasn't even Edward's fault. It was Sharon's.That incident with the gas leak was the same. It didn't have anything to do with Edward, either. Security footage supported that claim and showed that it was Sharon.Macie felt like she was trapped underwater, unable to breathe. Her chest tightened as anxiety rose in wav
