Chapter 389 Passed Away
Elisa sighed. “What happened with your dad this time?”
“Ah, it’s so annoying. He keeps wanting me to go back, and he doesn’t want me to resent him, so he keeps explaining to me. But he did such a poor job of it. My mom died because of him. I’ll hate him for the rest of my life!”
Elisa’s eyes flashed a little. She looked at Rachel’s dark face and said calmly, “You have to face certain things sooner or later. Furthermore, maybe many things are just a misunderstanding. Since you don’t believe him, why don’t you think of a way to investigate what happened back then?”
Rachel gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Back then, my mom jumped off the building right in front of me. It was because he had a woman on the outside. Things like these are absolute truth. What is there to explain?”
She raised her head and looked at Elisa. “He imprisoned me at home this time so that I would forgive him and follow what he wants me to do. A marriage of convenience. Why should I listen to him? From how I see it, he is no longer my dad! Doesn’t he have other children? He has a son and a daughter with his mistress. His other daughter can go for this marriage of convenience!”
As soon as Rachel said it, it was like she came to her senses and said with some frustration, “Look at me. Not restraining my own temper again. I thought that I could keep it in check if I didn’t drink alcohol.”
Elisa looked at her and said solemnly, “No matter what happens, you have to prioritize your own health because there are still many people who care about you.”
Rachel smiled. “Mm. I will. I’m just here to vent.”
Rachel looked at her half-eaten food and put down her utensils before calling James Markee.
The other party answered the call quickly. “Rach. Did you finally think of Uncle James?”
“Haha. I’m always thinking of you, Uncle James. If you say such things, I’ll be unhappy.” Rachel changed the mood at once and spoke with ease.
There was pleasant laughter at once from the other side. “Silly girl. I know you well. You must be looking for me because something is up. Tell me, what is it? I will help you to the best of my abilities.”
Rachel smiled awkwardly and said while fawning, “Are you free tonight, Uncle James? I want to visit you with a friend.”
“Yes. Come over.”
“Okay. We’ll reach in around forty minutes.”
“Alright. Take your time. I’ll be at home.”
“Love you, Uncle James! I knew that my Uncle James is the best in the whole world!” Rachel said coyly.
“Alright, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to hang up and wait for you to come over.”
“Okay, Uncle James.”
Before hanging up, Rachel heard her Uncle James’ cries. “I need to prepare some snacks. My darling niece is coming over.”
A warmth spread at once in Rachel’s eyes. She subconsciously breathed in and hung up.
“Rach.” Elisa’s expression was a little complicated.
“Ah…” Rachel smiled. “Sometimes I wonder why I wasn’t Uncle James’ biological daughter. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have an extremely happy life?”
Elisa looked at her with a serious expression. “This depends on how you think about it. Look at me. You’ll see that you’re better off than me. You have an uncle that loves you, but the only father who loves me has passed away.”
Shame immediately streaked across Rachel’s eyes. “I’m sorry, Liz. I didn’t…”
“I know. But sometimes, fate works this way. You have to think of a way to turn your sadness into joy, just like me. Ever since I broke away from Gareth, I feel a lot happier.”
