Chapter 247 The Father-Daughter-Reunion 4
"Don''t call me Dad. I will never recognize you as my son-inw!"
Mike has a livid look on his face. At the thought of his daughter''s life being turned upside down by this
man and being in a mess, he can’t wait to kill him before he is satisfied.
"It does not matter if you do not recognize me as your son-inw. And it does not affect the fact that I
see you as my father-inw, my daughter''s grandfather, and my wife''s father. So the rtionship
between us is not something that you can deny unterally."
“My wife…”
Hearing his words, Karin feels that her heart suddenly trembles fiercely.
"Heh, have you gotten married? Not yet, right? In that case, my daughter is nothing to you. And my
granddaughter is at best an illegitimate child. They have nothing to do with you. In that case, in what
way am I connected to you?"
Troy replies without humility, "Although the wedding didn’t take ce as scheduled at that time, in my
heart, she has long been my wife as well as the only woman I love from beginning to end and will never
give up in this life."
"Humph, easier said than done. If you love my daughter so much, why did you abandon her? Why did
you let her live alone for five years?"
When ites to this, Jane finds Troy more unforgivable than Mike does. Because at first, it was she
who let her daughter go find the man she loved. So to some extent, she has to be responsible for her
daughter''s unhappy life.
"Dad, it''s not his fault but my fault! I''m the one who wronged him in the first ce."
"How did you wrong him?"
Mike roars in anger, wondering why his silly daughter is still speaking up for such a heartless man as
Troy to this day, which disappoints him so much.
"I identally got drunk and spent a night in a hotel with another man. And then I got pregnant with
Esme. We didn''t know whose child it was. But he said the wedding would go on as scheduled. Even so,
I couldn''t convince myself and I secretly left without notifying him."
Mike and Jane both look askance at their daughter in shock, Mike is so shocked that he can’t say
anything. And Jane pinches her daughter''s arm, "What are you talking about?"
"Mom, I''m not talking nonsense. The truth is like this. It''s me who let him down first..."
"You...!!!"
Jane covers her face and cries in pain. The fact that her daughter spent a night with another drunken
man before marrying Troy and got pregnant with a child whose father was unknown makes her
overwhelmingly ashamed.
"It''s not like that."
Troy denies it with certainty, stares at Karin, and says, "It''s not her fault. It''s myck of trust and
tolerance for her that made her choose between the child and me, which forced her to leave me."
"Which one of you is telling the truth?"
Mike stampedes his feet heavily. And the expression on his, which was originally livid, turns pale. He
wonders what kind of sins he has made, making her daughter encounter so many setbacks in her
rtionship.
"What I said is true."
Troy raises his hand, "I can swear to God that if I say any falsehood, I will die a miserable death."
"Nonsense!"
Karin reaches out to cover his mouth as tears swish down. She doesn’t want Troy to help her clear her
name and make such a poisonous oath. Even if she can’t be with this man, as long as he lives well in
this world, she will live on bravely.
"Are you sure that my daughter was forced away by you?"
"Yes, I am sure."
“Bang!” As soon as Troy finishes his words, he suffers another heavy p, getting hit in his right cheek.
Compared to the pping just now, this pping indeed hit him hard, leaving five red fingerprints on his
face.
"Why do you keep hitting him? If you want to hit someone, hit me!!!"
Karin, who can’t stand it anymore, sits down on her buttocks and cries out sadly. While crying, she
says, "Am I still your daughter or not? Many years have passed. Why are you still keeping this matter
on your mind? I decided to take this road on my own. As for whether I live well or not, I won’t me you
for it. Could it be that you will be willing to forgive me and put up with my original choice after I kill
me..."
Troy slowly squats down and takes her into his arms. Instead of persuading her not to cry, he
encourages her to cry, "Cry as hard as you can. Vent out all the grievances. Cry at your own free will so
that you will never be sad again."
Karin indeed keeps crying for a long time. It is not until she can no longer shed tears that she raises her
red and swollen eyes and says, "Shall we go?"
Troy nods and holds her up. Then taking Esme, they gloomily step out of the threshold. As soon as
they take a few steps, a choked voicees from behind, "Come back!"
The one who speaks is Mike. It is unknown since when he has been in tears. He says, "All should
come back."
Karin turns around and says in a sobbing voice, "Since you refuse to forgive me, I will not enter our
family house again."
"We have forgiven you by asking you toe back. Should your father say it so bluntly?"
Jane wipes the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Troy takes Karin''s hand and turns around to go back.
He walks up to Mike and says with conviction, "Dad, thank you for forgiving us. And I promise you that I
will never let your daughter suffer a little bit again."
"It''s just, it''s just that you guys are old. And we are also old. From now on, whatever you guys do, I will
never care about it anymore. Neither do I have the energy to..."

"Dad..."
Karin hugs her father''s neck. After five or six years, she finally resolves all the misunderstandings
between her father and her. And they begin to treat each other with affection.
Jane is relieved as well. She was touched by the deep love between her daughter and her son-inw
just now, thinking that if Karin and Troy weren’t deeply in love with each other, they surely wouldn’t
have taken the initiative to take the me. After all, not every couple can protect each other.
"Okay, don''t cry. I''m going to buy food. Let''s have a good family reunion dinner tonight."
"No need, Mom, I''m treating all the neighbors on this street to the best hotel in the city for dinner
tonight."
Troy’s words startle everyone on the scene. Karin turns her head with tearful eyes, "Are you crazy?"
"I am not crazy. I am going to show all the people what kind of man Karin has married. I want you to be
the envy of them all!"
Mike shakes his head, "No need. As long as you treat my daughter sincerely, Jane and I will be very
pleased."
"I surely have to do this. I have already booked the hotel in advance. Over these years, you and Mom
suffered much ridicule and aggrievance. And I want to make them regret it."
Troy''s attitude is firm. And Karin thinks of the smug look Barry showed as he saw that she was in
despairst time. Then shepromises and says, "Since he''s booked the hotel, let''s invite the
neighbors. And I''ll go inform them door-to-door."
She sniffles, wipes her tears away, and runs out of the house with a smile on her face, thinking that the
day for her to be ted and bold finally is here.
As soon as she leaves, Troy asks for Barry''s home number, dials it, and simply says, "Come to Karin''s
house for a while." After that, he hangs up the phone directly.
The person who answers his call happens to be Barry. And he is a little confused, thinking that the
voice over the phone just now seemed quite familiar. Then, a person shes in his mind. And he
immediately shakes his head and says, "Impossible..."
Although he thinks so in his heart, he runs in the direction of Karin’s family house with all his might.
He arrives at the dumpling shop as he is panting. After seeing the one that has been standing outside
the door and waiting for him, he nearly loses his bnce and falls to the ground feeling shocked and
speechless for a moment. ANd he ispletely stunned on the spot.
"Barry, long time no see..."
Troy yfully eyes him and moves to walk in front of him, "Could it be that you didn’t expect to meet
me again in this life?"
Barry still can''t get over the shock. Therefore, he can’t speak even if he wants to.
"Do you still hate me for stealing your woman now? Do you still want to fight with me or not?" Troy
suddenly puts away the teasing look on his face and says as he grabs him by the neck, "Never have
you been my rival. And what kind of qualification do you have topete with me? Even if you
reincarnate a thousand times, the result will not change!"
Troy finishes his words, smiles mockingly, and turns around, intending to go back to the house.
"Oh, yes, I''m treating you tonight. You have to show up. Remember to bring your mother, who is a
weirdo, with you."
