Sophia then pecked Carmen on the cheek before consoling the children who had just been terminated. Then, she suggested, “We’re going to celebrate tonight. Bailey, do stay with us for dinner!”

Meanwhile, Michael had already brought out his treasured champagne from the cellar just to celebrate Carmen’s achievement.

The family was clearly over the moon.

On the other hand, Bailey watched the warm and harmonious scene before him and gazed at Carmen who was being showered with love like a little princess. At that moment, he felt something hot and wet in his eyes as memories of his past flooded his mind. He used to have a family too—he had parents and two elder brothers.

That year, he received his first ever prize in his whole life. Even though it was only a small competition, his parents and brothers threw him a celebration with great enthusiasm. His mother even cooked specially for him that day.

When he felt this atmosphere and joy, it was déjà vu.

Because he was also someone who was loved dearly by his family. They placed great importance on everything he did.

Tragically, a fire took away everything.

On that fateful day, the family of five were in the family car. His parents and brothers all put their own lives at risk to save him, yet none of them managed to survive…

Everything he had was destroyed by that fire. In the end, he was the only one left in what used to be a happy household.

At such a young age, he had been through so much. All the pain he experienced had piled on top of each other, which resulted in who he was today. After all that he had gone through, he became numb to everything.

Still, Bailey stayed for dinner. Even Tiffany joined them and sat next to Cooper’s usual spot.

After Cooper left, his spot had been empty and everyone was sensible enough to leave the spot alone.
