Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 651 - Bab 660

"Your daddy isn't Liam. He's not your real dad—I am!" Eugene growled in a low voice, grabbing Theodore by his shoulders.Hearing Liam's name sparked a reaction in Theodore. He wasn't afraid of Eugene at all, and he turned and looked him right in the eye."My new dad's not him. It's someone new I found for Mommy!"Eugene didn't want his first attempt to reach out to Theodore to end in an argument. Even though Theodore was saying things he didn't want to hear, he couldn't bring himself to scold the boy. Theodore was his flesh and blood, after all, and he hadn't been by his side all these years.For some reason, seeing Theodore angry made his own anger dissolve into heartache. If he hadn't been absent for so many years, Theodore wouldn't even be thinking about looking for a new father.With that thought running through his head, Eugene's expression fell, and he swallowed hard. He let go of Theodore's shoulders before saying, "Can you give me a chance, Theo? I promise I'll be good to

"Mr. Robertson, the company's recent operations in the domestic market have been progressing smoothly with no major issues. Despite the recent backlash the company faced, our revenue this quarter remained on par with the previous quarter. All things considered, everything is going pretty well."A man in a sharp suit, with a folder in hand, was reporting the results to Liam, seemingly satisfied with them."So, that means there are problems with our business overseas?" Liam asked without even looking up, pinpointing the crux of the matter."Um… well…" The man hesitated, clearly struggling to respond. Liam picked up the phone on his desk and said, "Come to my office."Moments later, Vince Lindell walked into Liam's office, standing up straight and with a professional and practiced smile on his face. "What do you need, Mr. Robertson?""What's going on with our overseas operations lately?" Liam asked while sorting through the documents on his desk."Our overseas business has indeed

Jacklyn, in a rare show of gentleness, nuzzled against Liam's shoulder. "Thank you, Liam. Theo is just afraid that I'll get hurt. Thank you for not holding it against him, and thank you for always being there for both of us.""Since you put it that way, I guess I'll need to carve out more time to spend with the kid. Otherwise, how will I ever marry you?" Liam teased with a mock complaint, making Jacklyn giggle."That won't do. Robertson Group is more important. You can't throw away your empire over a pretty face," Jacklyn said, patting him on the chest."So you know you're a pretty face?" Liam teased, deliberately sidestepping her comment and trying to make her laugh."Ha! Stop joking around. I'm serious. I'll talk Theo through this slowly. You just have to focus on your work and drop by when you have the time," she said, tilting her head up and looking at him.Liam sneaked a quick kiss on the top of her head. "Alright. We'll help him through this together," he said, the heaviness

Penelope's expression turned dark when she heard Lydia, and the smile on her lips froze instantly."I only want my mommy, Grandma," Noah whispered, expressing his true feelings.Lydia's attempt to comfort him only made him feel more uncomfortable.Lydia, now too preoccupied to coax Noah, continued sharply, "Penelope, I'm warning you—stop instigating Noah to do bad things. Be rotten all you want, but don't poison my grandson! I'll make sure you pay if you do!"She cradled Noah protectively in her arms, her eyes burning with disdain for Penelope."If you think I'm not raising him well, then raise him yourself if you're so capable! Why let me move in here in the first place?" Penelope snapped, shooting up to her feet as she glared at Lydia in indignation.Noah was completely dependent on her now. Yet, Lydia was not only failing to treat her nicely, but she also kept provoking her with cutting remarks. In the past, before she had been kicked out of Lloyd Manor by Eugene or before t

Theodore, who had witnessed the entire scene, was filled with confusion.Previously, whenever Romy saw a rude child, she would always chastise them. So, why was she letting Noah get away with it? And she had even let him bite her. It was all very strange."Ms. Cullen, why did you let Noah go just like that? He bit you so hard that you're bleeding."As Theodore spoke, he lifted Romy's arm with the wound and gently blew on it."He's really upset right now. If I do something to make him even more upset, who knows how much he'd cry?" Romy said, her eyes dimming with worry.She continued, "Noah has been acting out lately. For my sake, can you please not hold it against him for now?"Theodore couldn't understand why. Whenever Romy saw the three of them getting bullied before, she always stepped in without any hesitation. There was never any talk of not holding things against them.Now, even more questions crowded his mind."Ms. Cullen, why are you suddenly so protective of Noah?" The
