Chapter 832 Reconciliation
"I used to wear my heart like a banner, pride myself on how deeply I felt. But you know what? All that
emotion was like wearing rose-colored glasses, blinding me to my own daughter..."
He looked at Damien, his face bare with remorse. "Thank you for helping me realize the harm I
caused."
This man, who appeared to be in his fifties, spoke with such sincerity that Damien couldn't help but
smile. "Cherry would be thrilled if she knew you felt this way," he said. "When she found out about last
night, she was terrified you would be hurt. We're only here because she was afraid you would be upset
and wanted to brighten your day. She truly sees you as family, and if you could see her the same way...
well, I genuinely believe it would mean the world to her."
Beckham nodded eagerly. "I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I spent the whole time reflecting on the
past five years. The truth is, I failed as Cherry's father. I showered Gwenn with love and devoted
everything to her, and what did I get? Lies and betrayal. Maybe, right from the beginning, I shouldn't
have... shouldn't have pretended Gwenn was mine." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
He stood before Damien, his shoulders slumped. "Yes, it's all my fault. Every bit of it."
"Dad, it's not your fault,"
Beckham's voice trailed off, replaced by a clear, choked-up female voice. Both men in the kitchen spun
around, their eyes landing on Cherise.
She stood behind Beckham, tears shimmering as she addressed the older man.
"Dad, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. You were just trying to do the right thing, to continue
caring for Gwenn after I returned. You weren't wrong about that. And just like me... I could never just
replace you with Uncle Elvis. We share blood, but we've been apart for so long. I know it's difficult. But
it's not your fault."
Sniffling, Cherise wiped her tears away. "But hearing you blame yourself like this, it hurts. I've always
wanted to be closer to you, Dad. But you always seem so distant..."
Cherise sniffled, her eyes watery but her smile brave. "Are you finally ready to accept me, your farm-
raised daughter?"
Beckham felt tears prick his own eyes. "I... I never..."
He wanted to say he never rejected her, but the words caught in his throat.
Since the DNA test five years ago, Cherise had been his daughter in his heart. But somewhere, there
was still a difference in how he treated her compared to Gwenn.
"From now on," he declared, stepping forward and pulling Cherise into a loose hug, "you're my only
daughter."
Now, how could she not cry tears of joy with the weight lifted? Updated at Drąmanovеls.cоm
She chirped. "Grandpa wants to do your hair! Pretty braids, just like mine!"
