Chapter 634
“Cyn…” Jonathan was somewhat flustered. He had not anticipated Cynthia’s return on this
particular day. Would Cyn
misunderstand? He had only allowed them in as a last resort…
“Yes. Busy?” Cynthia looked up and walked over with Shirley.
From their vantage point, they could not see into the living room.
“Not really. Mandy and the others said they had samme business with me. Considering the
heavy snow outside, I allowed them. in to talk” Jonathan still did not know why Cynthia
and Shirley had come.
Cynthia paused for a moment. The bodyguards had clearly said that their father initially
tried to stop the women from entering. The bodyguards would not lie to her, so her father
must have left out that detail after falling to prevent their entry.
“I see.” Cynthia nodded.
“You are not upset, are you?” Jonathan was inwardly anxious.
“I’m not upset, as long as they don’t stay for dinner or spend the night here,” Cynthia
responded, before adding, “Dad.”
“Huh?” Jonathan was a little stunned. For some reason, it seemed like Cyn had matured
considerably all of a sudden.
“You’re our father, when you speak to us, there’s no need…” Cynthia trailed off, choosing
her words carefully before continuing, “To tread so lightly. You owe us nothing.”
She considered their perspective. If she had been in her parents‘ shoes at the time, she
was not certain she could have done any better. Two families joined in matrimony; her
mother was unable to resist her own father, and her father was equally helpless against
his. Both had been in love with others but were bound together by circumstance and
profit.
In those days, parental authority was absolute, their decisions sacrosanct. Their resilience
was impressive, even by modern standards. How many people who vow to stay single all
their life actually manage to hold on to that promise? The pressure from family was many
times greater than that from parents alone.
The fact that she and Shirley were able to grow up happy and sound was already a
blessing.
“Cyn.” Jonathan’s expression grew more complex. Cynthia, after much consideration,
offered him a comforting embrace, holding tightly to this ever–worried father of hers.
If only their mother were still here…
If she had devoted all her energy to studying medicine since childhood, could she have
saved her mother from the clutches of death when even Yves was powerless? However,
there was no turning back, and time would never stop or rewind for any event…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonathan stiffened at her touch, his eyes welling up.
“Cy.”
“Cynthia, I want a hug too!” Shirley, always the cheerful one, knew how to lighten the
mood at the right moments.
“You little rascal Even competing for my affection now!” Jonathan chuckded, his love for
his two daughters evident.
“My sister is mine. Her favorite person is also ine.” Shirley declared playfully, a
mischievous glint in her eyes.
Jonathan gently poked her forehead, diffusing the tension in the air. He then asked them
to join him for a discussion. “Since you’re back, come join us. They just arrived and don’t
know why they’re here yet.”
Cynthia did not want to go initially, whatever they were discussing was likely of little
concern to her. However, Shirley. insisted, tugging at her hand. “Let’s go together!”
Mandy and Michelle grew tense when they saw Cynthia They could not help but shift
uncomfortably in their seats.
