Chapter 1023


    The question that Zachary had no answer to was asked.


    He did not speak for a long time.


    Maria''s face was full of disappointment. "So I''m not something that was born out of love? I''m trash. That''s sad."


    An ufortable feeling rose in her heart.


    She had thought that her daddy and mommy were in love with each other. It seemed that wasn''t the case as her mommy was.


    separated from her daddy for so many years.


    Sob.


    Maria wanted to cry.


    "No," Zachary did not miss the disappointment and sadness in his daughter''s eyes. He could not bear to see his daughter


    looking so heartbroken. Looking at the child, he said, "It''s not what you think."


    "Is that so?" She lifted her eyes that were full of expectation to meet his. "But you never asked me once where Mommy went


    since you met me. How does that mean that you both are good with each other?"


    She easily caught on to things.


    He was taken aback.


    This child was really smart.


    Zachary didn''t know how to tell his daughter about his rtionship with Yvonne. He himself didn''t even fully figure out what


    happened.


    "Maria, where did your mommy go?" He asked.


    How could Yvonne be at ease and leave after leaving her child at the kindergarten?


    “Mommy said that if | want a daddy then she won''t be there. If | want her then there won''t be a daddy. Then, she went to sleep.


    When she woke up, she told me that she was going on a business trip and she dropped me off at the kindergarten. She said that


    Aunt Grace would help me to look for my daddy." Maria had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask her mommy, but before she


    could do so, her mommy had sent her to the kindergarten.


    “Your mommy said she was on a business trip?" Zachary asked.


    "Yeah. There''s a letter." Maria suddenly recalled. "It''s in my school bag. Please take a look. It''s from Mommy."


    She opened her school bag, took out the letter and handed it to him.


    He opened the letter and found that it was indeed from Yvonne.


    The handwriting was indeed hers and it was the same when she was studying. Her handwriting was clear and crisp.


    The letter said: "Zachary, | know that you have a lot of questions. Maria is my daughter. It was from that night. My body couldn''t


    take the procedure so | decided to keep her. You don''t have to think that I''m ckmailing you. | have never thought of that. Now,


    I''ll be giving the child to you. | won''t look after her anymore. Take care, Yvonne Attwood."


    The letter was short.


    It was so brief and straight to the point that Zachary was angry from reading it.


    She just made the decisions for them both without asking about his opinions or how he felt about the matter. All she did was just


    notify him about her decisions.


    He wanted to thank her this time for giving him a daughter, but he did not have the chance as she ran away.


    She even abandoned their child.


    What the hell was going on with her?


    He couldn''t figure out what she was going through that made her abandon her own child.


    She was too heartless.


    Six years ago, she didn''t want him as her boyfriend anymore.


    Six yearster, she didn''t want her child.


    An unspeakable dejection arose in Zachary''s heart.


    He did not know how to express his feelings at that moment.


    He felt frustrated, and his handsome striking face immediately turned dark and gloomy.


    Maria, who had been staring at her father all along, saw that he turned silent, and his face was terribly dark.


    She immediately pursed her lips and said, "Did Mommy abandon me? Does she not want me anymore? Is she really throwing


    me away?"


    The air turned tense and quiet for a few seconds.


    He turned his attention back to his daughter. He looked at Maria and said, "She ran away, but | will find her and bring her back."


    "Dad, you can find Mommy?" Maria was a little skeptical.


    "Yes, | can and | will,” he said in a deep voice. "This time, | will definitely not let her run away for that long.”


    “Daddy, don''t be too blindly confident." Maria was still a little dubious. "Mommy is really good at hiding. You may not be able to


    find her."


    "Maria, do you remember where you lived with your mother?" Zachary looked at his daughter and asked.


    He felt that it was impossible to find Yvonne before this, but now, with Maria, she might share some details about her life with her


    mother.


    And, with that, it might help him find Yvonne.


    He believed that he would definitely be able to find her.


    "| don''t remember." Maria shook her head. "I''m not good with directions. Mommy said so about me.” Zachary was startled. He


    looked at his daughter and smiled.N?velDrama.Org content.


    "Dad, are you disappointed?" She could see a disappointed look on his face.


    “No, I''m not." He shook his head and said, "You are a child. | understand, and | can do this myself."


    “Mommy doesn''t want me," she suddenly said angrily. "I will bully her when she gets back."


    Listening to his daughter''s words, Zachary did not know whether tough or cry because he was thinking the same exact thing


    as Maria.


    The moment he found Yvonne, he would let her have a taste of the suffering he went through, and he would make her beg for


    forgiveness.


    Very soon, they arrived.


    The moment Gary got down from the car, he saw Maria getting off as well.


    She came out of the car and ran straight to him. She shouted excitedly, "Gary, we are rtives now. You will have to see and


    y with me even though you don''t want to. Haha, I''m so excited."


    He rolled his eyes and said, "Go home and find your mommy. | want to sleep."


    "Mommy." Upon hearing that, Maria''s eyes suddenly turned red and she burst into tears.


    Zachary instantly felt distressed. He looked at Gary and shouted, "Gary."


    Gary saw her crying and begged, "Maria, I''m sorry. Please don''t do that again."


    It was so irritating and tiring that she cried so easily.


    She continued crying.


    Zachary was heartbroken to see his daughter crying so badly. He lifted Maria up and cast Gary a sharp look.


    Gary looked at his uncle and


    suddenly begged, sayin "Uncl@\T''

    Zachary was a little annoyed at how he acted. He was sad and heartbroken for his daughter.


    Maria cried and shouted, "You can''t hide."


    Gary''s shoulders drooped hearing that.

    He looked at her daughter in his arms and realized that his daughter was quite sharp and perceptive.


    No wonder she was his daughter.


    "Can | go in and sleep?" Gary looked at him. "Uncle Zachary, I''m really sleepy."


    He looked really tired and sleepy.


    Zachary was about to nod.


    However, Maria shouted first, "No, you can''t sleep."


    Gary really didn''t know what was going on with her. Did she have to make everyone suffer and stay up with her?


    Gary nced at her. Then, he suddenly leaned back and fell to the ground.

    Zachary was also shocked. He quickly put Maria down and squatted down to look at Gary. "Gary?"


    Gary closed his eyes. He remained unmoving.


    He thought to himself that if he didn''t faint at that moment, perhaps he wouldn''t ever have the chance to sleep.


    He really didn''t understand why it was so difficult for him to just go to sleep.
