Chapter 234

The relationship with the Estrada family in Kingchester was established. Ophelia sneered, just because Bessie was someone’s sidekick? But she was too lazy to say these things; she still remembered the purpose of her visit today.

“Everything my mom left behind was returned to me!”

Samuel’s expression changed for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Ophelia spoke first: “Don’t try to show off your deep feelings in front of me; it disgusts me! You’ve had Erin by your side every day for these years, and now you’re giving away my mother’s belongings for your own benefit. I really don’t know where you get the face to still think of yourself as someone deep in feelings!”

“My mom’s belongings in the bank could only be withdrawn by you. I gave you one day to take everything out and return it to me. If you can’t do it, don’t blame me for calling Mr. Winford to take action!”

After saying these words harshly, she turned around and left.

Samuel’s face turned pale with anger. “You unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter! If I had known this day would come, I should have suffocated you when you were still in the cradle!”

Ophelia, who had walked to the door, suddenly paused for a moment. Moments later, she continued to walk away from the Greene family without looking back.

Strangled? Ha, upon hearing such a heartless remark, she was not surprised at all. Even though she had long since lost hope and feelings for this father, hearing such words still made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

When I returned to the apartment, my mood was not very high.

“Back?” Winford finally waited for her to come home, but at the first glance, he noticed that the girl was not in a good mood. A hint of coldness flashed across her brows, and he pulled her into his arms. “Who bullied you?”

Ophelia perked up and smiled at him, “No one bullied me.”

Winford was dissatisfied with the answer. His voice was slightly deeper as he pinched her soft cheek and said, “Tell me the truth!”

“Really, it’s nothing.” Ophelia buried her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, “I just felt a bit envious of others who had a dad and a mom.”

Unlike her, who lost her mother at a young age, her father was hardly present, and it was even worse than having no father at all. Samuel was not incapable of being a father; it was just that all the love and tenderness he had as a father were given entirely to Erin’s daughter, and she did not receive even a bit of it.

Hearing her low and somewhat confused tone, Winford felt a pang in his heart. He gently rubbed her hair and said, “Isn’t having me enough for Lia?”

Ophelia looked up and suddenly smiled, “People say that girls like older men mostly because they lack paternal love. I think there is some truth to that; otherwise, how could I like you so much?”

Hearing this, Winford almost lost his composure. He had a somewhat interesting expression on his face and said, “Who are you calling old?”

Overwhelmed by a sense of danger, Ophelia felt a tightness in her chest and realized, belatedly, what she had said. A look of guilt flashed across her small face, and she turned to run.

Just as she had taken a step, a strong and powerful arm appeared around her waist, pulling her back!

“Honey, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken carelessly. You are not old at all. Oh-”
