She looked at Selina and Matthew in disbelief. "How can Sabrina not be your daughter?"
Selina opened her mouth.
She wanted to explain to Dory, but it was too complicated.
For a while, she was lost for words.
Selina could only look at Matthew for help.
Matthew gave Selina a look.
A look that made her feel at ease.
Then, Matthew said to Dory, "Dory, let's have a private talk, okay?"
Now that there were too many people, it might cause Dory to panic.
At this time, she needed a space to be alone.
Feeling a little perturbed, Dory looked at Yesseca.
Yesseca nodded at Dory.
She patted Dory's head and said, "Dory, this is your father. Don't be afraid."
Uneasiness flashed across Dory's eyes at the mention of the word "father".
She hesitated for a few seconds before following Matthew.
While Matthew was chatting with Dory, Selina's heart also tightened.
Dory's reaction had dampened her excitement and made her feel uneasy.
Selina asked Yesseca if Dory could accept them as her parents.
Yesseca immediately smiled.
She said, "Of course, Selina, Dory will be ecstatic. Why would she not accept the both of you? She has been eager to find her parents, but she may not be able to get used to it so soon."
Selina nodded.
She murmured, "I hope your brother- in- law can talk to Dory and convince her to accept us as her parents."
