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

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

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

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

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
