No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1353

He looked at this child who looked so much like him, and the more he looked, the more pleased and excited he became.

He felt like his life was finally complete.

"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent! My daughter, Walden Wells's daughter, is so brilliant, so remarkable." He was so excited he was practically babbling. He couldn't resist reaching for his daughter's hand again. This time, Yara didn't pull away.

"Yara, what do you want? I'll give you anything. Everything I have will be yours from now on." Walden was desperate to express his paternal love.

"What did you major in? What are you interested in? I'll invest in you, start a company for you, or you can continue your studies. I can send you to the best schools in the world. I'll support you completely."

At that moment, in Walden's mind, Vanessa and all the other women meant nothing. Only this brilliant daughter, who had appeared so suddenly, was the greatest gift heaven could have given him—the comfort and pride of his later years.

Yara looked at her father. Something in her softened anyway—an instinct she didn't want to name. She finally let go of her reservations, and her expression softened. "Will you marry my mother?"

Walden was taken aback. He looked at his former assistant standing beside him. Twenty-six years had passed. The guilt he felt, coupled with the hardship she had endured raising their daughter, finally pricked his conscience. He nodded.

"Yes," he said quietly. "If you'll have me, I want the two of you in my life properly."

Olivia's eyes reddened with relief. She secretly wiped away her tears. She had her own selfish reasons; she had to marry Walden Wells.

That was the only way her daughter could fully inherit his wealth, securing her future.

In the black car, Vanessa sat in the back, her mind a complete blank. All she could see was the way Walden looked at his daughter, a look that treasured her beyond measure. It was clear that things between her and Walden were completely over.
