Chapter 11
After being discharged from the hospital, Cassandra was arranged by Arnold to stay at a villa on the outskirts of New York, and a nanny was specially hired to take care of her.
That day, Cassandra fiddled with the ring on her hand and asked eagerly, “Arnold, when are you going to propose to me?”
The sudden question caught him off guard, Arnold lowered the unusual look in his eyes and said softly, “I am preparing, but I have to go back to Fairbanks in a few days.”
“Why are you going back to Fairbanks? Do you want me to go with you?”
Perhaps due to the hormones during pregnancy, Cassandra couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when she heard he was going back to Fairbanks.
“I can’t not go to my stepmother’s 50th birthday, Arnold said as he served her a bowl of soup.”
“I’ll accompany you then, I don’t want to be apart from you.”
She finally managed to drive Sophia away, and Cassandra didn’t want any other woman to seduce Arnold while she was pregnant and alone!
Secondly, she also had some selfish motives, wanting to visit her in- laws and assert her authority!
“Cassandra, you are heavy now and it’s not convenient for you to go

far. This time I will go by myself, you stay at home and take care of yourself.”
“But I wanted to be with you…”
Cassandra pursed her lips, looking very aggrieved.
If it were in the past, Arnold would have gently held her in his arms and comforted her when he saw her like this. But now, he just pinched his heart irritably and reluctantly said, “Cassandra, I have important matters to attend to this time, it’s not appropriate for you to come with me.”
When these words were spoken, Cassandra knew that saying more would be of no use, so she abandoned the idea of going along.
Late at night, the WhatsApp group chat became lively again.
“Arnold, Fiona’s 50th birthday party, have you already prepared the big gift, young man?”
“You must have recorded a lot of videos in these seven years, why don’t you let your brother review them first before posting?”
“Arnold, although you hate Fiona, Sophia is innocent. She has been with you for seven years. Would it be unethical for you to do this?”
“What’s immoral? Sophia was a slut; this kind of woman should be punished!”
The group was chatting lively in the group chat, but Arnold’s expression turned cold instantly when he saw that provocative message.
“Enough, I’m not posting the photo.”

Arnold’s words instantly caused a commotion among the crowd.
“It wasn’t Arnold, it was you who wanted to take revenge by taking photos back then. Why didn’t you send them out?”
“Arnold, you are so inconsiderate. We have been eagerly anticipating the video you recorded.”
“Ah, what a pity. I wanted to catch a glimpse of her impressive figure.”
“Did you really have feelings for Sophia when I was away?”
The words of his brother sent a shiver down Arnold’s spine.
These days, although he has been with Cassandra all the time, when he dreams of the past, Sophia will appear in his dreams.
Her loveliness, her beauty, could never be forgotten.
Taking a deep breath, Arnold hesitated for a moment before finally leaving the group chat.
Was she really just a plaything to him?

In the blink of an eye, it was Fiona’s fiftieth birthday party.
Early in the morning, Sophia personally took charge in the kitchen to make longevity noodles, rolling out the dough and shaping them herself without any help.
Soon, the longevity noodles were ready. She brought them to Fiona with a smile on her face and said, “Mom, these are the longevity noodles I made. I hope you can live a long and healthy life, and stay

with me a little longer, even longer.”
Upon hearing this, Fiona was extremely moved.
She tenderly stroked her forehead and said, “Sophia, my biggest wish is to see you get married and have children, living a happy life. I have seen Tristan’s sincerity towards you during this time, you must cherish the person in front of you, you know?”
Upon hearing her mother’s instructions, Sophia nodded and said, “Mom, I know what to do. Don’t worry.”
