Chapter 412 Abandon His Wife And Daughter


    Sylvia''s POV:


    "But why didn''t Leonard know about this?" Rufus asked curiously. "Edwin and Leonard are always


    together. I think it will be a tough task for Edwin to hide anything from him."


    "You are right." I tilted my head and contemted this for a while. "Leonard is such an upright man.


    His men must have the same values as him too."


    But there was an exception to every rule. Who could guarantee that Edwin was an honest man?


    I spun the narrative in my mind again. In my heart, I had already painted Edwin as a man who had


    abandoned his wife and daughter.


    "I believe that Leonard doesn''t know about this. Given his character, if he knew about this, he would


    certainly not hide or lie about it, let alone put on such a perfect act in front of us today," Rufus


    analyzed calmly.


    I snorted. "That means Edwin dated my mother secretly behind Leonard''s back."


    "That is possible." Rufus nodded. His eyebrows then furrowed as he asked, "What are you going to


    do now? Are you going to talk to Edwin?"


    I suddenly froze. I remembered that when I was a child, all the children in the pack ridiculed my


    mother as a bitch abandoned by a man. It felt like that difficult phase had taken ce just


    yesterday.


    For an ordinary family, the birth of a child was considered a happy blessing. But for my mother, my


    birth only made her the target of endless taunts.


    Despite that, she gave me twice the love, fulfilling the part that should havee from my father as


    well.


    As my mind shed back to Edwin''s avoidance this afternoon, my heart clenched painfully.


    Finally, I shook my head and said, "No."


    Rufus cupped my face with his hands and gave me a tender look. "What''s wrong? If you don''t want


    to give Edwin the position of your father, then you don''t need to. He never contributed to raising you


    throughout your childhood, nor did he give you any love. You don''t need him in the future either."


    I pouted. "Rufus, you know what? I look very simr to my mother."


    "I know. I had once seen her at a celebration ceremony of the empire when I was a child. Your eyes


    resemble hers very closely," he said sweetly as his fingers softly brushed over my eyes.


    At this moment, I felt horrible. I had imagined numerous possibilities, but I had never thought I''d end


    up with this kind of result.


    It turned out that my father wasn''t expecting my existence.


    "As you saw, Edwin mistook me for my mother at first nce, which means he hasn''t forgotten her


    yet. And he was not exactly surprised when he saw me. I mean... it''s like he already knew of my


    existence, and he was just simply surprised to see me here in the royal pce. So we can safely


    assume that he probably knew that my mother had given birth to his child. But when he saw me, he


    didn''t show any happiness. Instead, he tried his best to dodge all the questions," I said in a low


    voice. Finally, Iughed humorlessly. "My appearance probably caught him off guard."


    Rufus sighed and kissed me on the forehead. "Honey, don''t think about it anymore. Don''t spend


    your energy thinking about someone who doesn''t care about you."


    "Those kids were right all along. My father didn''t want my mother and me." My lips curved up into a


    bitter smile and sadness enveloped my heart.


    Rufus wrapped his arms around me andforted me, "I love you, Sylvia. The others don''t matter."


    His confession of love warmed my heart. I touched his chin and smiled. "Yes, I have you. I''m not


    sad anymore."


    Rufus lowered his head and kissed me on my lips. He asked in a soft voice, "Do you want me to


    help you investigate what happened back then?"

    I hesitated for a moment, but still refused. "I want to do this myself. Edwin must know. I will


    personally ask him why he abandoned my mother."
