Chapter 10
After living in New York for seven years, she also wanted to open a studio, but Arnold didn’t like her being in the public eye. For love, she gave up her career and was willing to work as a designer assistant in a small company.
Now, Tristan’s words reignited her desire for her career.
“I haven’t painted in a long time, I’m afraid…”
“Don’t be afraid, I believe you can do it.”
His encouragement gave her confidence, and Sophia looked at the studio in front of her, her long–dormant ambition awakened.
“I’ll give it a try then.”
On the day when the art studio opened, Tristan came specially to congratulate her. He not only brought a basket of flowers, but also introduced many famous painters to her.
Under the fireworks bursting in the sky, Sophia gathered her courage and gently held his hand. She could also feel his fingertips trembling slightly with nervousness.
“Tran, in a few days it’s my mother’s birthday, let’s go together.”
Her gentle voice entered Tristan’s ears, causing his heart to skip a beat. He looked at her with eyes full of love and said, “Okay.”

Since Sophia left, Arnold has been getting drunk every day.
Late at night, he lay in bed, his mind filled with images of Sophia and their time together.
They used to cook together in this house, watch TV shows and read books together, and they had countless intimate moments on this bed. Her body was so fragrant, so enticing.
But now, she is no longer here…..
This realization popped into his mind, causing a sharp pang in his heart.
Arnold had a dream all night. In the dream, Sophia was still clinging to him as before, begging him to spend more time with her.
He smiled and agreed, wanting to kiss her lips, but the moment he touched her, she disappeared again.
When I woke up from the dream, it was already bright outside.
Arnold rubbed his hungover forehead, and then his phone rang beside him.
He pressed the answer button and heard his brother’s voice on the other end: “Arnold, today is the day Cassandra is discharged from the hospital. Why haven’t you come yet? Your family hasn’t seen you for day and they are getting impatient. Hurry up and come over!”
Upon hearing this, Arnold’s mind instantly cleared, and he replied hoarsely, “I’ll be there in a moment.”
After hanging up the phone, Arnold quickly tidied up and drove to the hospital.

Just as I arrived at the door of the ward, my good friend seemed to see me as a savior: “Arnold, you finally came, Cassandra is waiting for you inside, go in quickly!”
After saying that, the brother pushed him into the ward.
In the hospital room, Cassandra sat on the bed crying.
Seeing this scene, Arnold felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. These days, he had neglected Cassandra because of Sophia’s departure.
Thinking back on it, Arnold felt very guilty.
“Cassandra, I’m sorry. These days the company has been too busy, I ́‘ neglected taking care of you. Please don’t blame me, okay? Arnold half squatted in front of the sickbed, gently wiping away the tears from her
face.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Cassandra tightly embraced him, tears streaming down her face. “Arnold, you finally came. You haven’t shown up for several days, and I thought you didn’t want me and the baby anymore.”
“How could you, you and the baby are the most important people to me, Arnold said, gently patting her head.”
“Will you always love me then?”

How could he love Sophia? She was just a dispensable plaything.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Arnold gently touched her abdomen and said, “Of course, my greatest love is you and the baby. I will propose to you as soon as you are discharged from the hospital.”
He repeated several times, as if making a promise, yet also as if numbing himself.
