Chapter 1033
“Cecelia? I just returned from my honeymoon, so I haven’t had time to contact her! She isn’t filming
anything right now, though. I guess she’s currently on vacation.”
Many things happened after she returned from her honeymoon. It had been a while since she had seen
her best friend.
“Oh.”
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking for her?” Did something happen between them? I’m not in a
position to ask about it, though.
“It’s nothing.” Sean felt a little annoyed. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling at all.
He had never felt like that before, but it seemed that Cecelia had been avoiding him after sleeping with
him.
“I’ll call and ask where she is once I return.” Sophie knew about Cecelia’s feelings for Sean, but Sean
had always pined for his first crush. Moreover, the effect his first crush had on him was especially
significant. Men like him are better left on their own.
“All right.”
After dinner, everyone went to Nocturnal to wind down, but Charles felt the ce was boring once he
got there, as everyone was in pair except for him.
Ultimately, he sat beside Sean so that they could be each other’spanions.
“Sean…”
Charles realized Sean wasn’t in the mood to chat after sitting there for a while.
“Did something happen at yourw firm, Sean? You seem to be so preupiedtely.”
Sean ignored him, for his mind was filled with the crushing look on Cecelia’s face. In the end, I still hurt
that proud woman.
“What’s wrong with you, Sean? Did you get into some troubletely? You can tell us. You keeping quiet
like this is honestly quite scary.”
“Can you shut up? You’re so noisy.”
Charles finally shut his mouth.
I was just worried about him. Why is he giving me the cold-shoulders again? Why is it so hard to be a
human?
Tristan and Sophie sat on a couch, abstaining from alcohol. After her wedding, she stopped consuming
alcohol since they wanted to have a baby.
“Sophie, are you really nning on having a kid so soon?” She’s only twenty years old!
“Yeah.”
Sophie wasn’t the least bit repulsed by the idea of having a child. She decided to go with the flow.
“How brave! Taking care of a child is a lot of work.” Georgina had seen her colleagues care for their
children before, and it looked exhausting.
“Uncle Tristan won’t let Sophie tire herself out! I’m sure he’ll fight to care for the child.” There’s Grandpa
too. These people will fight to care for the child.
“Yeah, she’s right. You’re in charge of delivering the baby. Leave the caretaking to me.” If I can deliver
the baby, I will since I don’t want Sophie to suffer the pain of giving birth. s, I’m a man and can’t bear
a child.
“Sure.” Sophie was more than d to take him up on his offer.
Ysabelle rested her head on Felix’s shoulder.
“Felix, if I ever have a kid, you need to take care of the child too. I won’t bear that responsibility since I
still want to sing.”
Felix immediately nodded.
“That’s for sure. You just focus on giving birth, but, say, are you finally agreeing to marry me?” My
proposal has been a string of failures.
“Well, that depends on how you treat me.”
“Don’t be greedy, Ysabelle! You won’t find another man who loves you as much as Felix if you ever
leave him.” It’s literally impossible to find someone like him, okay?
The few of them gathered at a booth when they noticed not only Sophie and Tristan were drinking
juices, but even Felix and Ysabelle were too.
“Don’t tell me you two are nning to have a child too? Why aren’t you drinking?” It’s no fun to have
non- alcoholic beverages in Nocturnal.
“We’re not drinking alcohol in advance for our child,” Felix answered with his arm around Ysabelle’s
waist. Charles had nothing to say to that.
I’m truly speechless. Are they here to provoke me? Isn’t this too much?
“Charles, aren’t you done fooling around? I wonder what kind of woman will end up taking a man like
you.”
They were truly curious.
Charles shook his head.
“I don’t know either! I might just be on my own in this lifetime.” I don’t have any interest in fooling
around with women anymore now. Maybe this is karma.
Sophie took a sip of her juice and started typing a text to Cecelia. Two minutester, she received a
reply.
It read: Sophie, you finally remembered me! I thought you hadpletely forgotten about your best
friend after bing a married woman.
Sophie replied: How could I possibly forget you? We’re at Nocturnal since we don’t have any work
these days. Sean is here too. Wanna join us?
Cecelia responded: No, thanks. It doesn’t sound fun.
Cecelia had little interest in drinking now.
Sophie asked: Did something happen between you and Sean?
Cecelia answered: What could’ve possibly happened? That man isn’t someone I can mess with. Don’t
worry. I’m well aware of my position.
Every time Cecelia thought about Sean, bitterness would fill her heart. I’m still an award-winning
actress, regardless! But I’m not even the least bit attractive in his eyes. Just the thought of it is enough
to make me feel defeated.
Sophie questioned: Are you sure nothing happened? Sean even asked me about you earlier.
Sophie didn’t think men like Sean would ask about someone else without cause. She was sure
something had happened between the two.
Cecelia had no interest in knowing what Sean was thinking, so she texted: I’m sure. I’m tired so I’m
going to bed. You go ahead and have fun!

He’s nothing more than a one-night stand. I’m not a stick-in-the-mud. I can y around too. It’s nothing
serious, anyway.
Sophie gave up and replied: Okay. Have a good night.
She thought something was off with Cecelia but could only go and check on her the next day.
“Was it Cecelia?” Tristan asked when Sophie finally set down her phone.
“Yeah. She’s acting weird. I’ll go and check up on her tomorrow.” Cecelia was her best friend, so she
felt a sense of responsibility for her.
“Okay.””
Tristan slid a nce at Sean. This dude has been observing us for a while now. I guess he wants to
know about Cecelia. Honestly, I think Sean should just dive into a new rtionship. His first crush is
nothing more than unrequited love. It’s really not as significant as he imagines it.
“If Sean bullied Cecelia, I won’t let him get away with it. Sophie shot a look at Sean. She would take
Cecelia’s side no matter who was right.
“Don’t worry. I’m definitely on your side.” Between his friend and his wife, Tristan would, of course,
choose his wife.
“Thanks.”
They hung out at Nocturnal until after ten before leaving. Sophie fell asleep instantly upon returning
home. She noticed how she would feel exhausted easily recently, and her menstruation had been
dyed for a few days, but she wasn’t sure if she was pregnant since she hadn’t gone for a test.
She wanted to tell Tristan about it after the test result was out. She did not want to disappoint him.
