Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 560

After greeting the guests, Baron called Essie into the study.

"Cathy, play chess with dad. We haven't played chess together for a long time."

Essie nodded and sat down. She knew that Baron must have something more than playing chess with her.

The servant brought two cups of black tea.

Baron took a sip and smiled, "I still remember that you were very active when you were a child. You always couldn't sit still, so every time you played chess, you ran away halfway."

With a faint smile on her face, Essie thought that she was never fit to play such a game that required her to think a lot.

"Mr. Baron, my sister is much better at playing chess than me. You should ask her to play with you."

Baron sighed, "Cathy, when will you call me daddy again?"

Essie lowered her eyes and a touch of sadness swept across her face. "Mr. Baron, you have sister, brother, Valery and Holy. It's dispensable to have me as daughter. But my father is different. He only has one daughter, so... " Her voice was very low. Father Yi had devoted all his father's love to her since she was a child. It was enough for her to have a father, and she didn't need another one. Since she left the Xu family at the age of seven, Baron, this father had been redundant to her.

His words stabbed into Baron's heart like a dagger. He had done a father's duty to his kids

from Alice to Holy, except for her. He hadn't been a good father, and he had been absent for so many years.

"I know. I'm sorry for you and your mommy. I want to make it up to you and give me a chance," he said in a low voice.

With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, Essie said, "I'm fine now. I don't lack anything, so you don't need to compensate me anything." She didn't lack money, nor did she lack her father, nor did she lack his love. What could he compensate her? The only thing she wanted was a happy childhood, but he would never make it up to her.

Baron's heart was in turmoil. He knew that she hadn't forgiven him. She was smarter and more sensible than other children since childhood. From the moment Elizabeth entered the Xu family, the way she looked at him had changed. She no longer regarded him as the person she worshiped and respected most, nor was she as intimate as before, as if he was no longer her father. Therefore, when he divorced Luce, she resolutely chose to follow Luce and completely abandoned him, her father.

"No matter how good Bob is, he is not your biological father after all."

"After leaving the Xu family, Elizabeth sent killers to assassinate us, trying to kill us all. It was him who saved us. Without him, my mother and I might not have lived to this day. He is not my biological father, but gave me a new life. So, in my heart, he is more important than my biological father. " There was firmness in Essie's tone.

Baron heaved a heavy sigh and said, "I know Elizabeth is a woman who always reaches her goal by all means. But after all, she is the mother of Vinton and Valery, and she has saved your grandmother's life, so..."

"You don't need to explain to me. She is your wife and has nothing to do with me." A sad smile appeared on Essie's face. She knew that Vicki had forced him not to divorce Elizabeth. He had always been obedient to Vicki, and it was the same until now. For him, she no longer held any hope. If it weren't for Holy, she would have quit the president of the Xu group and completely severed the relationship with the Xu family.

"You must hate her very much, right?" Baron said slowly.

"Yes." Essie said frankly. "When you were in a coma, she tried to kill me again and again. Do you think I should forgive her generously?"

"But Elizabeth is Elizabeth, and Vinton is Vinton. After all, he is your brother," Baron said in a low voice.

"I know what you mean. She must have told you that I introduced Eva to my brother and wanted to play a honey trap on him. I don't care whether you believe me or not, and I don't need to explain. My family name is Yi, and I'm the daughter of the Yi family. The property of your family has nothing to do with me. As long as you say a word, I can immediately resign from the position of president of the Xu group, and I don't want to be involved in any family or any old thing. "

"Cathy, that's not what I mean," Baron explained hurriedly.
