Chapter 1162 Agree
"Leon groaned as he was hit in the stomach, his face contorting in pain.
Seeing this, Isabella frowned and quickly grabbed his hand, saying, "Really? I didn't even use much force!"
"My stomach has been hurting for days, okay?" Leon rolled his eyes at Isabella.
Hearing this, Isabella immediately looked guilty, like a child who had done something wrong. "I'm sorry, I forgot!"
"It's fine. Considering you just gave me a son, I won't hold it against you. Seriously, you just had a baby and you're still this strong." Leon rolled his eyes at Isabella again, but his eyes were full of laughter.
At this moment, Isabella suddenly realized. "You were messing with me again?"
Then, Leon said seriously, "Alright, you're weak after childbirth. Lie down and rest. We'll flirt when we get home."
Hearing this, Isabella blushed and then smiled as she closed her eyes. She was indeed very tired; giving birth was really exhausting.
Cecilia, who saw all this through the crack in the door, smiled and gently closed the door before turning to leave.
These two couples were really loving, making others envious. However, their happiness wasn't smooth sailing; they had gone through many hardships but ultimately found happiness.
'But what about me? Where is my happiness? Why am I left with nothing but scars and pain?' Thinking of this, Cecilia shook her head.
She was still young, and there were many wonderful experiences ahead of her. She couldn't wallow in self-pity; instead, she needed to strive to create an exciting life through her own efforts.
After walking out of the hospital, Cecilia looked up at the clear sky and strode confidently forward.
That afternoon, Daryl hurried back to the Fields Mansion.
"Dad, Mom, why did you call me back so urgently? What's going on?" As soon as Daryl stepped into the living room, he saw Isaac and Azalea sitting there.
Azalea saw Daryl and said kindly, "Sit down and have a cup of tea first."
"Okay." Daryl turned and sat next to Azalea, taking the tea she handed him and drinking a few sips.
At this moment, Isaac spoke first, "The Tate Family hasn't been causing trouble for Fields Corporation recently, have they?"
Hearing this, Daryl knew they had called him to talk about the Tate Family.
Daryl then replied, "Since I thwarted their schemes twice, they haven't made any moves recently. I deliberately took a small loss last time to let the Tate Family vent their anger. It seems they have calmed down a bit, but I won't let my guard down. I'll keep a close eye on them and manage our group strictly."
Hearing this, Isaac nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Azalea said, "I told you Daryl could handle everything, but you didn't believe me. Now the facts have proven it, haven't they? Fields Corporation has weathered this storm."
Azalea looked at Daryl with pride and satisfaction.
Isaac still appeared indifferent. "Young people should face some setbacks. You shouldn't always praise him!"
"Who's praising? I'm just stating the facts!" Azalea's tone had a hint of playfulness.
The next moment, Azalea changed the subject and said to Daryl, "Skylar was here just now."
Hearing this, Daryl frowned. "What did she come for?"
"She came to check on my health and brought me some snacks from Skyhaven. She also came to say goodbye," Azalea replied.
Hearing this, Daryl asked, "Where is she going?"
Azalea frowned and said, "Skylar said she wants to study in Starlight City for a while. She doesn't look well and has lost weight. She still hasn't recovered from what happened last time."
Hearing this, Daryl frowned.
Azalea continued, "Skylar is really devoted to you. Despite the conflict between both of our families, she still brought me snacks. It's clear she has deep feelings for you. Daryl, I think Skylar is great in every way. Why don't you like her?"
"Mom, why are you asking this again? Skylar and I are impossible. If I have the chance, I want to make it up to her, but not with my feelings," Daryl said firmly.
Hearing this, Azalea had no choice but to say, "Alright, I won't say any more. Your dad and I have discussed it. Given the current situation between both of our families, we'll postpone your marriage plans for a couple of years to avoid further provoking the Tate Family. It would be hard to handle."
Hearing this, Daryl frowned and said nothing.
Winter passed and spring came. In the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.
That afternoon, a silver SUV parked in front of an office building at the end of the workday.
A handsome man in a black suit sat in the back seat, his eyes fixed on the building's exit.
Many people walked out of the building's exit, but none of them were the person he was looking for.
After about ten minutes, fewer and fewer people came out of the building until almost no one was left.
Daryl's brows furrowed.
At this moment, the driver, Douglas, in the front seat said, "Mr. Fields, did Ms. Thorne leave early or take the day off? It looks like everyone has already left."
Just as Daryl was about to say something, a familiar figure suddenly walked out of the building's exit.
She was wearing a pink suit today, her ponytail still tied at the back of her head, with a shiny silver hairpin on the left side of her head, looking very bright and beautiful.
It had been half a year, and she seemed to have regained her former radiance, just like when he first saw her.
Thinking of the beautiful moments when they first met, Daryl's eyes softened.
Douglas glanced at Cecilia through the window and suddenly said, "Mr. Fields, Ms. Thorne is so beautiful. If you don't take action soon, someone else might snatch her away!"
Unexpectedly, just as Douglas finished speaking, someone blocked Cecilia's path.
Cecilia had worked 15 minutes of overtime that day and didn't expect to be stopped by Barry as soon as she walked out of the building.
"Cecilia?" Barry smiled at her.
Seeing Barry, Cecilia hesitated for a moment and then smiled. "You really came?"
Earlier, Barry had called Cecilia to ask her out for dinner, but she had refused. Barry said he would come to her office to wait for her, and Cecilia thought he was joking. She didn't expect him to actually come.
At this moment, Barry spread his hands and smiled. "Since you started working, I've asked you out for five months, but you never agreed. If you don't agree this time, I really won't have the face to ask you again."
