Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Will You Forgive Me? 

Ashton stood there, motionless, staring at the girl who was only a few steps away from him. 

The girl had bright eyes and a confident and assertive look. 

She has exactly the same eyebrows, eyes, and facial features as Alyssa, but was, by temperament, very different from 

her. 

Ashton stared at her and was silent for a long time. 

In the past three years, he had fancied so many times that it Alyssa was alive, he would raise her up and she would just look the way this girl looked like. 

He would make her outgoing and confident, just like the little girl in front of him. 

Instead of being timid and shy, always looking fearful and apprehensive, with a fragile body and all kinds of diseases as she was before. 

When he saw this girl, he felt as it his dream had come true. Alyssa was as good as he had fancied, but she was not brought up by him. 

Alyssa stared straight at him, then she became sarcastic. “It seems that you’ve forgotten me.” 

Every word she chose sounded very polite, but the ridicule and contempt in her tone overflowed uncontrollably. 

Ashton came back to his senses suddenly and tried to pull her toward him. 

“Are you Alyssa?” 

Alyssa shunned Ashton’s hand without hesitation. “I don’t like people touching me.” 

Ashton stared at her in disbelief. “I have been regretful for the past three years and missing you every day. 

I’m so happy that you are back. I will compensate you in the future and will never let you suffer anymore.” 

He could hardly believe that Alyssa was alive and he saw her again. 

But it made sense because she was his daughter. She would come back as long as she was still alive. 

Ashton still remembered how Alyssa had always secretly called him “Dad” before and that she always hoped that he 

could hug her and spend more time with her. 

She had always hoped that he would love her. He would make up for her in the future. 

And since Alyssa was back, could Deborah stop hating him so much? 

Is it possible for them to go back to the days when they were a family of three? 

Ashton was so excited that he felt a little overwhelmed. When Alyssa shunned his hand, he thought that she was just 

not used to it for the moment since they hadn’t seen each other for three years. 

If she stayed at home for a few days and gradually got acquainted with him again, she would no longer feel unfamiliar with him naturally. 

After all, she was just a child of seven or eight years old, and she had probably forgotten about what happened three 

years ago. 

She must have been back for his sake, and she must be longing for a home. 

Ashton immediately took a step sideways and said excitedly. “Alyssa, let’s go in first. It’s cold outside. Let’s go in first 

and talk later. I will spend more time with you in the future and will promise you everything” 

Alyssa was still expressionless the looked back at Adrian, who had gotten out of the car, and signaled him not to follow of worry about it 

Then she looked away, passed by Ashton, and strode in 

The servants in the living room were shocked when they saw Alyssa walking in 

Yesterday Deborah, who was supposed to be dead, came back. Now Alyssa, who was supposed to be dead, too, also returned The servants had experienced too many shocks 

They couldn’t help wondering whether Flora Villa was haunted. 

Alyssa ignored their terrified and shocked expressions, walked in directly, and sat down on the sofa in the living room. 

She has been cultivated very well by Adrian and taught by excellent professional teachers in the past three years. The 

low self esteem and cowardly temperament conce had is gone 

Ashton followed from behind and walked up to her, a little finstered. 

Alyssa looked at him and motioned him to sit on the sole opposite her. “Mr. Mullen, sit down please.” 

Ashton couldn’t accept her way of addressing him and he said, “Alyssa, I’m your father, you should call me Dad, 

instead of Mr. Mullen.” 

Alyssa asked softly and unhurriedly, “Do you mean the one who loved only his mistress and forgot me in the car, made me fall into the abyss and be in a coma in the hospital for three months? 

She paused for a second and then continued calmly. “Is he whom you’re talking about? 

Ashton felt deep pain and remorse, “Alyssa, I was sorry for what happened back then. I have always blamed myself 

these years. From now on… 

Alyssa interrupted him. “Please sit down. You don’t need to explain. I didn’t come to you today to listen to your false confession. I just want to persuade you about one thing.” 

Ashton finally sat down on the sofa opposite her. 

Alyssa was much more mature than children of the same age when she was only four years back then. 

Now after three years had passed, her calmness and intelligence made Ashton even feel ashamed. 

After he sat down, Alyssa said straight to the point, “Mr. Mullen, please don’t make things difficult for my mother. 

Divorce her and make her free.” 

Ashton was stunned. “Have you seen your mother?”
