It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 562

Leo tried to slowly get up with his palms on the table supporting him. But a great cloud of grief came upon him again, his knees gave way and he eventually sank to the ground. What shocked him the most was the fact that Grace was actually pregnant at that time. The knowledge hit him like a sharp knife that ripped his soul and left him breathless. Bitterness started to creep in and overcome him, forcing the tears that had gathered in his eyes to stream down his face. Men only wept when they were deeply hurt.

His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Grace, his petite and gentle lady. Her otherworldly beauty and deep affection for him added to his remorse. He couldn't bear it anymore. Raising his hand, he slapped himself across his face several times. The sound was so loud that it echoed throughout the quiet room. It still couldn't drive away the chill of anguish that haunted and suffocated him.

He suddenly burst into manic laughter. 'Yakira, you nasty woman. Do you have any idea what a heartless person I've become because of you? Come what may, I must kill you today, or my rage will never subside. How dare you use me as a puppet! Well, I have to admit that you are indeed manipulative enough. You managed to wrap me around your fingers and lead a luxurious life, while successfully hiding all your vicious behaviors from me. How cruel you are to me!'

Leo started banging his head against the table, as if he could tear it open and see what exactly it was that had blinded him. He couldn't believe that he had put his faith in such a scheming woman like Yakira. He then recalled the way he had treated Daisy, and what he had done to her. He felt too ashamed to even see her again now. Just imagine, would a real father help his step daughter take the husband away from his own daughter? Would a real father act aggressively against his own daughter every time they met? A good father would never have done that. But Leo had done all of these to Daisy, in the most obvious, thorough, and ruthless way. He must have broken her heart and made her suffer a lot.

Came to think of it, Leo realized that he had been wallowing in the self-pity because of a baseless betrayal. Daisy reminded him of the betrayal every time he saw her, and that was why he would hurt her time and time again without any mercy. But after finding out that she was actually his own daughter, his attitude towards her changed completely. Leo grew to care for this girl, something he would never have done before the DNA test. The tie of kinship was truly a magical thing, for it could change your mind and refresh your thoughts. He was caught off guard by his tenderness for Daisy, someone he had disliked until not long ago.

Back then, Leo had done nothing to stop Yakira from throwing Daisy out of the house. If this was the biggest regret of his life, then meeting Yakira was his biggest misfortune. Originally, he had only planned to divorce her and pay for alimony. But he completely changed his mind. Given all the misery she had brought him, Leo now thought that killing her would be too merciful. But he was unwilling to contaminate his hands with her blood. An idea lingered in his mind until he was overcome by it. He must think of a way to torture her, and let her end up worse than dead. Only in this way, Leo hoped, could Grace's soul rest in peace.
