Yet he couldn't spare a moment to cast a second glance at the daughter who had lived with him for over a decade.
If he really hated her this much, if he really looked down on her this much...
Why did he bring her into the Sylvain family in the first place?
If he hadn't, maybe she could have had a complete family and real love somewhere else.
Seeing Isabella's depressed mood, Sonya comforted her.
"I've invited Quentin over for dinner tomorrow. Your father will be there too."
"We'll all be waiting to hear your good news."
"Everyone is going to be so happy and proud of you."
Isabella's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? Quentin is actually coming over tomorrow?"
"Of course he is," Sonya smiled warmly, happy to see the light return to Isabella's eyes.
She knew how Isabella felt about Quentin.
But the one who was originally engaged to Quentin was...
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Sonya quickly wiped away the tear at the corner of her eye with the back of her hand and smiled.
"Nothing. I'm just a little tired. I'm going upstairs to rest. You should get some rest too. Don't stay up too late working."
"Okay."
Watching Sonya walk away, Isabella clenched her fists again, a dark look flashing across her eyes.
Whether it was her father's love or Quentin...
Was she really going to be denied happiness for the rest of her life because of someone who died over a decade ago?

Chloe raised an eyebrow as she looked at the text on the screen.
It seemed he was in more of a rush than she was.
