Chapter 689 Make Up For It With The Rest Of My Life
Rufus'' POV:
Leonard''s face was downcast as he said in a helpless tone, "I think Alina probably won''t ept it,
but I couldn''t care less. I can''t dy this task anymore. Otherwise when the truthes to light,
Sylvia will hate me."
My eyes swept over his crumpled shirt and the stubble on his chin. He must have been suffering so
much all night that he couldn''t even care about his appearance.
I hadn''t noticed any simrities between Leonard and Sylvia before. But now that I knew they were
father and daughter, and I looked carefully at them again, I realized that their eyes were quite alike.
They were the same dark green color with nearly the same shape, except Sylvia''s were softer and
brighter.
Leonard''s eyes, on the other hand, were a little dark and sharp, perhaps because of his age.
I said with a sigh, "You don''t need to worry so much. Initially, Sylvia had mistakenly thought Edwin
to be her biological father. She was joyous and expectant for a long time. But when she discovered
that he was unwilling to recognize her, she was depressed for a considerable period of time. She
longs for a father. Besides, she is so close to you now. She already regards you as her elder."
"Edwin, that bastard! He fooled us so well! If he had informed me earlier, I wouldn''t have been so
blind a moron that I didn''t know my own daughter was in front of my eyes!" Leonard cursed angrily.
I raised my eyebrows, seeing the humor in his outburst. They were yet to acknowledge each other,
but he was already protecting and defending his daughter.
"After this matter is resolved, I''m going to make Edwin pay," Leonardined, his spirits
improving after venting his anger.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
Afterforting him for a while, I continued, "I think it''s wise to carefully consider this issue. You
must see that even though Sylvia doesn''t know you are her biological father, she still respects and
cares about you. If you are not ready to do this yet, don''t destroy the rtionship you already have
with her."
Leonard sighed heavily and his face darkened. "I''ve been weighing the consequences all night. As
long as Sylvia was willing to ept me as her father, I''ll take care of everything else. As for Alina, I
wille up with a solution in due time."
I couldn''t stand seeing Leonard in so much pain. Finally, I said in a gentle voice, "I don''t know why
you were separated from your daughter for so many years and why you didn''t know of her
existence. But I believe that you faced your own difficulties. Sylvia will understand you if you exin
the whole thing to her."
Tears welled up in his eyes. "I want to go back and make amends, but it''s toote for it."
"It''s not toote," Iforted him softly.
Leonard shook his head, as if his mind had been invaded by some painful memory. "I don''t want
anything anymore. I just want to confess to Sylvia and spend the rest of my life making up for my
absence."
I smiled, my heart filled with happiness for Sylvia.
She had always wanted to find her biological father and bond with him. When she believed Edwin
was her father, his indifference had actually left her heartbroken for a long time.
Now that it was Leonard who was so determined to recognize her, she wouldn''t face any
disappointment this time.
"But I don''t know how to bring up this topic to her right now. Besides, everyone in the pack is busy
with Alina''s wedding preparations. Three dayster, when Alina''s wedding is over, I will confess the
truth to Sylvia. I hope you can keep this secret till then. I want to be the one to tell her about it."
Leonard watched me pleadingly.
I nodded in agreement without hesitation. "Don''t worry. Your secret is safe with me. But you''d better
resolve this matter at the soonest, lest some other troublese our way."
