Chapter 1840: Tristan's Sincerity
There are two pairs of rings, each symbolizing a harmonious union for a hundred years and once the wedding rings of a king and queen. Bertie intended to give a pair to Rowan and Claire and the other to Taylor. He was truly a good father, maintaining balance in everything because only with a harmonious family can everything prosper.
Tristan and Monica spent the morning chatting with their father, as it had been many years since they had seen each other, and there was plenty to talk about. They were full of joy and laughter, and it brought them closer as a family. He truly didn't carry himself with the air of a ruler, just that of a caring father.
Rowan headed to the hospital a little after nine because he had a highly difficult surgery to perform in the morning, which had been scheduled the day before. However, Tristan and Monica stayed to have lunch with their father. Tristan personally cooked, and Monica helped in the kitchen. They refused to let their father lift a finger, insisting he sit in the living room and read. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Listening to the sounds from the kitchen and smelling the aroma of the food, Bertie experienced a happiness he had never felt in his life. This was the joy only an ordinary father could have - devoid of power and status, free from formalities and constraints, filled only with warmth and love.
In the afternoon, after Rowan returned, Tristan and Monica left, promising to arrange a trip to Lu Layeka with their father as soon as possible. Bertie didn't rush them, giving Catherine enough time to prepare for their arrival. After they left, Bertie opened the gift Tristan had given him: a carefully crafted photo album. Leafing through it, he saw Monica's life from childhood to the present, each image and scene flooding his mind. Over a hundred photos compiled into an exquisite album. Bertie stood in front of the sofa, holding the album, and looked towards the direction the car had departed.
He was so moved that his eyes welled up. For this long-absent father, this album held immeasurable significance, truly a priceless treasure.
Accompanying the album was a handwritten letter. He quickly opened it, appreciating the neat handwriting, a visual delight. The content read:
"Uncle, I admire Monica and genuinely care for her. I truly intend to marry her, to be by her side and care for her for a lifetime. I had planned to write many heartfelt words, but when the pen touched the paper, I only wanted to promise you that I will love your daughter for a lifetime. Please trust me with her."
Signed "Tristan," with the time recorded down to the minute. This remarkable man must have contemplated for a long time before writing such a letter, Bertie thought. Holding the handwritten letter, he was genuinely surprised. In this day and age, handwritten things still existed? Overwhelmed with emotions, he felt a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Annie was truly a lucky child to have encountered the Swain family and a boyfriend who cherished and loved her. This young man was reliable; one could tell from the first glance that he was absolutely dependable.
Bertie carefully put away the letter, sitting on the sofa, reluctant to part with it, as he flipped through the photos of his daughter growing up. He spent a full minute on each photo, observing everything from his daughter's expressions, her clothing, to the surroundings. He had not been part of these past events, yet he felt fortunate to witness his daughter's growth in this way. He felt lucky and happy.

Ivan and Jennifer bid farewell to the children and Aubree, as yes, grandma was taking the children abroad. The new year had passed, and the children were about to start school. Ivan instructed, "Alfie, Diana, listen to grandma when you are abroad. Don't think you're smart and cause trouble. Keep a low profile."
