True Love Deserves a Second Chance

Since childhood, it has always been her and Remy bearing these burdens.

At that time, Elodie thought that if she had a brother, perhaps their days wouldn't be so hard.

A brother could protect them.

Elodie knew very well that Alexander was only concerned about her because of Tommy and Sophia.

But she really wanted to call him brother.

Even if it was just for a moment, to feel that in this world, there was a brother protecting them.

Hearing Elodie's request, Alexander couldn't help but get teary-eyed.

He gently patted Elodie's head and softly said, "If you want, I don't mind."

Elodie looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you for your help, Alex."

The way she called him 'Alex' made Alexander's heart ache.

It felt like he was back in his childhood, when his sister hadn't gone missing yet.

Every time he went to school with his backpack, she would stand at the door waving at him.

With teary eyes, she would say, "Alex, come back early."

At that time, his heart ached so much, he wished every day was a weekend.

That way, he could play with his sister all the time.noveldrama

After Daisy was found and brought back, he never felt that way again.

He attributed it to being apart for too long, and their feelings had faded.

But why did he have that childhood feeling with Elodie?

Seeing Elodie cry, he wanted to give her the whole world.

Alexander looked down at Elodie in his arms and slightly smiled, "Alright, stop crying, go show your drawing to Sophia."

Elodie then remembered and immediately took out a drawing from her backpack, wiped her tears, and said, "Sophia, do you like it?"

Sophia's eyes widened the moment she saw the drawing.

She couldn't help but say, "This is amazing, I've never seen such a realistic drawing before, Elodie, you're incredible."

Elodie sniffled and said, "I'm glad you like it. You've helped me so much, this is the least I can do to repay you."

Hearing this, Sophia immediately hugged her and gently patted her head, "What are you talking about? Our meeting is fate. Tommy called me yesterday, asking me to visit you more often when I have time.

Tommy just started school, and his coursework is a bit tight. Once he's done, he can come visit you on the weekend."

Elodie excitedly said, "Really? Did he really say that?"

"Would I lie to you? Stop crying, I brought you your favorite little cake."

Seeing the vanilla ice cream cake, Elodie's eyes welled up again.

She looked up at Sophia and said, "When I get better, I want to treat you all to a meal.

My pan-seared halibut is really delicious."

Sophia looked at her in surprise, "Really? I love pan-seared halibut."

The two of them chatted while eating the cake.

Alexander called Remy to the office, handed her a bottle of ointment, and said in a deep voice, "Apply this, the swelling will go down in a few days."

Remy nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Cross. Meeting you is a blessing from heaven for us."

"Don't say that, everyone has their hardships. Can you tell me about your husband? If you want a divorce, I can help you."

Hearing this, Remy shook her head repeatedly, "I can't divorce him. He said if I divorce him, he'll take Elodie away, and I'll never see her again."

Remy hesitated and said, "He can't have children. We didn't have a child after three years of marriage. Later, he was afraid I'd leave him, so he adopted Elodie from an orphanage.

But over the years, I found out that Elodie wasn't adopted from an orphanage. He won her in a gamble.

So, he always says if I divorce him, I'll never see Elodie again."

Alexander frowned, "That's illegal, doesn't he know that?"

"I have no evidence, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to report him. Parents who can use their child as a gambling debt are heartless. I hope Elodie never finds out about this."

Hearing this, Alexander didn't ask further.

Elodie was such a fragile and kind child. If she knew about her parents, she probably couldn't handle it.

Alexander had someone take Remy to the Cross Villa and gave a few instructions to take care of her.

Then he returned to the hospital room.

Elodie was drawing with her paintbrush.

Alexander walked over and asked, "Where's Sophia?"

Elodie looked at him with clear eyes, "She got a call and had to leave. But from the sound of it, it was Mr. Watson, who is dating Sophia."

Hearing this name, Alexander's expression immediately turned sour, "They just met yesterday, and they're already going on a date today. He sure is eager."

Elodie nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, he even said he wants to invest in Sophia's new movie. Mr. Cross, Sophia's studio just started, and it must need a lot of help. This is your chance to step in."

Hearing this, Alexander couldn't help but tap her head, "You're quite the little schemer. What else did you hear?"

"I also heard Sophia say she's going to a dinner party tonight, an investment meeting. Mr. Watson will probably be there too."

"Alright, I got it. Your mom has gone to work at the Cross Villa. I'll have the nurse take extra care of you here. Call me if you need anything."

Elodie looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Cross. When I make money, I'll treat you to a steak."

"First, get well. Rest up, I have to go to work."

Meanwhile.

Daisy had lunch with Gilbert at the Sinclair Villa and spent the afternoon fishing.

She didn't return home until evening.

As soon as Daisy walked in, she lay down on the sofa, "Aaron, get me a drink."

Aaron immediately took a drink from the fridge and handed it to her, concerned, "Miss, why were you gone so long?"

"Because of that Sophia. I went to apologize to her, but she left first, leaving me to deal with two old men. I'm exhausted."

"Let me massage your shoulders."

"Alright, fishing with them made my back ache. If it weren't for Alexander, I wouldn't bother with Dean."

As Aaron massaged her shoulders, he comforted her, "Bowing your head once to regain Mr. Alexander Cross's concern is worth it."

"Has Alexander not come back yet?"

"If he's not working late, he should be back soon. Since you went to apologize to Miss

Sinclair today, Mr. Alexander Cross will definitely come back for dinner."

As they were talking, Remy came out of the kitchen and nodded, "Aaron, I've prepared

all the ingredients. Can we start now?"

Hearing this voice, Daisy immediately turned her head.

She saw Remy standing at the kitchen door, wearing an apron.

Daisy was a bit surprised, "Why is she in my house?"
