She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

“Time, time, please slow down, don’t let you grow old anymore…”

The guests gasped when Andriana threw herself into the man’s arms without hesitation. Shock rippled through the room as people exchanged stunned glances.

Andriana shouted with all her strength, “Dad!”

At that moment, understanding dawned on everyone.

On the stage, Evan stared in disbelief. Among all those present, only he and his parents knew the truth. His father–in–law had already passed away.

Tears blurred Andriana’s vision as she studied her father’s deeply lined face.

“Dad…” Her voice trembled. “I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“Silly child.” Mason smiled, though his eyes glistened with tears.

He glanced toward Evan on the stage. “All right. Don’t lose your manners. The wedding is what matters.”

Mason had spent his entire life bent over fields, yet he straightened his spine at that moment. He stepped forward and bent his arm slightly. He was not tall, but his expression carried a solemn dignity greater than ever before.

Andriana froze for a beat. Then bliss softened her features, and she smiled. She reached out and linked her arm through her

father’s.

Warm applause swept through the banquet hall once more.

“The child you worried about has grown up…”

Amid the tear–stirring music, Mason led his daughter forward at an unhurried pace. He stopped in front of Evan.

“Dad!” Evan called out, his voice thick with emotion.

Mason smiled faintly. He lifted Andriana’s hand and placed it gently into Evan’s. His palm was rough and calloused, yet broad, as though it could shield others from wind and rain.

He patted the back of Evan’s hand and spoke in a deep voice. “My son–in–law, I’m entrusting my daughter to you.”

Evan’s expression grew solemn. He nodded with conviction.

Mason then turned to Andriana and said softly, “Live well. I don’t blame you.”

After that, he turned and walked toward the backstage area.

Andriana watched his solid back recede. Sobs tore from her chest as she cried out, “Dad!”

Mason did not look back. He raised one hand and waved gently.

Evan turned to the host beside him. “Keep everything simple. Finish the wedding procedures as quickly as possible.”

The host nodded in understanding.

A ceremony that should have lasted more than an hour ended in just ten minutes.

Andriana ran toward the backstage as if driven mad. “Dad!”

The heavy stone in her heart finally dropped when she saw his figure again. This was not a dream. Her father had truly come

back.

A handsome man stood beside him.

Andriana froze and asked, “Who are you?”

The man sighed. “My family name is Fleming. You can call me Mr. Fleming. Take this chance to say a few words.”

Panic drained the color from Andriana’s face. “What do you mean, ‘take this chance‘?”

Mason said gently, “Andrea, this man brought me back.”

Realization struck her, and tears surged anew. “Dad… could it be…”

“Don’t cry. Your mother has been lonely for many years. I’m going to accompany her now.” Mason smiled with calm contentment. He had no regrets left after seeing his daughter marry.

Understanding flooded Andriana’s heart. She rushed forward and hugged her father tightly, sobbing as though her heart might

break.
