Chapter 412


    "What?" Sherilyn was starting to lose her patience, "What''s up, Jenna? You can''t share with me?"


    "It''s not that." Jenna shook her head. Despite her young age, she vaguely felt that her question might upset her mother, which is why she had been hesitant to ask since she got back.


    Now, under her mother''s persistent gaze, she couldn''t hold it in any longer.


    "Mom, every kid has a mom and a dad, right? It''s because of a mom and a dad that there''s a Jenna, right?"


    Sherilyn felt a jolt, her mind going nk for a moment.


    She had never expected Jenna to be troubled by such a question!


    As for Jenna''s dad, from the day she was born, Sherilyn knew it would be an issue someday.


    Her father wasn''t someone born out of love between her parents...


    Her father, in fact, despised her mother!


    Over the years, Sherilyn had always skirted around the topic, never mentioning anything about a father to Jenna...


    But what was inevitable has finally arrived.


    "Mom." Jenna''s eyes, brimming with tears, tugged at her mom''s blouse, "Does Jenna have a dad too?"


    Sherilyn''s heart clenched, but she nodded.


    "Yes, of course."


    "Then..." Jenna''s eyes sparkled, "Mom, where is my dad? Why hasn''t he evere to visit me? Doesn''t he like Jenna?"


    Sherilyn felt heartbroken, "No, that''s not it..."


    Her eyes reddened as she replied, "How could that be? Daddy loves Jenna very much. When you were little, your dad was there with you." -When you were still in my belly.


    Though, it was only for a brief period.


    "Really?" Jenna frowned slightly. "I don''t remember, I must have been too small! Then why doesn''t Dade to visit me now?"


    "It''s because..." Sherilyn choked

    "Oh." Jenna seemed to understand, "Okay, when Dad is not busy anymore, he wille to visit Jenna, right?"


    Looking into her daughter''s hopeful eyes, Sherilyn reluctantly nodded, "... Yes."


    "Look, Mom." Jenna seemed a bit brighter than before, "Why doesn''t Dad call Jenna then?"


    Mom used to call her all the time when she was alone in Sunhaven.


    Sherilyn''s heart nearly stopped at that moment from the pain!


    Choking back tears, she said, "That''s


    because Dad''s job is very speciahet


    ovel


    and he can''t just make calls anytime."


    Lies came easily.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    But she would rather lie than have Jenna know what a heartless and irresponsible man her father was!


    The hatred for Gilbert, she could bear it all by herself.


    Jenna would never know who her father was, and she could live in the beautiful fantasy of him.


    Her Jenna was already so pitiful, she couldn''t bear any more misfortunes.


    "Is that so."


    Jenna believed her, nodding obediently, "Jenna understands. I''ll be good and wait at home for Dad." "Such a good girl."


    In that moment, Sherilyn''s heart twisted painfully, she couldn''t even bear to look into her daughter''s eyes.


    The wait that will never end, her Jenna, waiting for a dad who will nevere...


    Just like her, back in the day, both unwanted by their fathers.
