True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1023

The question that Zachary had no answer to was asked.

He did not speak for a long time.

Maria's face was full of disappointment. "So I'm not something that was born out of love? I'm trash. That's sad."

An uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart.

She had thought that her daddy and mommy were in love with each other. It seemed that wasn't the case as her mommy was separated from her daddy for so many years.

Sob.

Maria wanted to cry.

"No," Zachary did not miss the disappointment and sadness in his daughter's eyes. He could not bear to see his daughter looking so heartbroken. Looking at the child, he said, "It's not what you think."

"Is that so?" She lifted her eyes that were full of expectation to meet his. "But you never asked me once where Mommy went since you met me. How does that mean that you both are good with each other?"

She easily caught on to things.

He was taken aback.

This child was really smart.

Zachary didn't know how to tell his daughter about his relationship with Yvonne. He himself didn't even fully figure out what happened.

"Maria, where did your mommy go?" He asked.

How could Yvonne be at ease and leave after leaving her child at the kindergarten?

"Mommy said that if I want a daddy then she won't be there. If I want her then there won't be a daddy. Then, she went to sleep. When she woke up, she told me that she was going on a business trip and she dropped me off at the kindergarten. She said that Aunt Grace would help me to look for my daddy." Maria had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask her mommy, but before she could do so, her mommy had sent her to the kindergarten.

"Your mommy said she was on a business trip?" Zachary asked.

"Yeah. There's a letter." Maria suddenly recalled. "It's in my school bag. Please take a look. It's from Mommy."

She opened her school bag, took out the letter and handed it to him.

He opened the letter and found that it was indeed from Yvonne.

The handwriting was indeed hers and it was the same when she was studying. Her handwriting was clear and crisp.

The letter said: "Zachary, I know that you have a lot of questions. Maria is my daughter. It was from that night. My body couldn't take the procedure so I decided to keep her. You don't have to think that I'm blackmailing you. I have never thought of that. Now, I'll be giving the child to you. I won't look after her anymore. Take care, Yvonne Attwood."

The letter was short.

It was so brief and straight to the point that Zachary was angry from reading it.

She just made the decisions for them both without asking about his opinions or how he felt about the matter. All she did was just notify him about her decisions.

He wanted to thank her this time for giving him a daughter, but he did not have the chance as she ran away.

She even abandoned their child.

What the hell was going on with her?

He couldn't figure out what she was going through that made her abandon her own child.

She was too heartless.

Six years ago, she didn't want him as her boyfriend anymore.

Six years later, she didn't want her child.

An unspeakable dejection arose in Zachary's heart.

He did not know how to express his feelings at that moment.

He felt frustrated, and his handsome striking face immediately turned dark and gloomy.

Maria, who had been staring at her father all along, saw that he turned silent, and his face was terribly dark.

She immediately pursed her lips and said, "Did Mommy abandon me? Does she not want me anymore? Is she really throwing me away?"

The air turned tense and quiet for a few seconds.

He turned his attention back to his daughter. He looked at Maria and said, "She ran away, but I will find her and bring her back."

"Dad, you can find Mommy?" Maria was a little skeptical.
