Chapter 1366
Erina's fists rested beside her, and her cheeks were red.
Ethan raised his gaze onto her and pulled her.
"Not entirely.
I have a story to tell you." Tears flowed down her cheeks.
"What if I oppose your remarriage? It's true that you haven't been getting along with Mom all these
years, but I heard that you've been alone the entire time.
Can't you stay as you are right now? "Are you this desperate to build a new family with another
person? I don't want that! I don't want you to have kids with another person.
You can only be my father.
Mine only!" Ethan stared right into her eyes.
It had been a long time since they last met, but the obsession in her eyes was all too familiar.
She took after Marina so much.
Fortunately, he noticed it in time.
It would've been a catastrophe if he had realized it later.novelbin
"Erina, calm down." "No!" Erina threw herself into his arms.
Her tears showed no sign of stopping.
"Dad, Mom and I love you.
Don't abandon us! Please! I know she's done wrong things, but she has received her punishment.
"Do you know how she put up with the past few years? She was a renowned dancer.
Now, she can only stay in a wheelchair.
"I bet you loved her in the past, didn't you? We learned it in biology.
That parents bear a new life with love.
If you didn't love her, how could I even exist?"Ethan sighed while wiping off her tears.
Gently, he cooed, "Erina, it's true that your father loved you and loved your mother very much.
But I'm not your father." Erina's eyes widened, radiating helplessness.
"I don't get what you mean, Dad.
What do you mean that it's not you?" He pulled her to his side so that she could take a seat beside him.
"It's a long story..." It was the story of Kurt, Ethan, Marina, and Olivia.
Nevertheless, Ethan glossed over the awful deeds Marina committed.
He didn't want Erina to know how evil her mother was.
Erina gaped after hearing the story.
It took her a while to find her voice.
"So, you mean you're looking after us on behalf of my biological father? Because he saved you?"
"Yes." "You've never loved my mother? And it was her who ruined your marriage and drove you and
your wife apart?" "Yes." "You're not our father?" "Connor is Olivia's and my child.
Marina and Olivia had a preterm delivery back then.
Marina had twins.
Unfortunately, your brother was dead as soon as he was born.
Then, I replaced him with Connor due to some circumstances." Erina, who barely stopped crying,
couldn't fight back her tears again.
"So, I'm not your daughter? Only me?" "Erina, listen, I owe your father a great favor.
I'll take care of you forever.
You can live under this name or change it if you want.
I'll always see you as a god-daughter." "A god-daughter..." Erina stared at that handsome face.
The father she had been proud of turned out to be a mere outsider.
Everything was finally falling back into place.
Why had Ethan never looked at Marina? Why did he treat Erina well and yet never show up for her
parent conferences? Why was he so strict on Connor yet pampered her with so much love at the same
time? Those questions hanging in the air were finally answered—it was all because of that favor! "Liar!
You're a liar!" shouted Erina, unable to accept reality.
The powerful picture of a parental figure in her crumbled.
She turned and ran out of the door.
"Erina, wait!' The tear-stricken girl stood in the heavy snow.
"Why didn't you just keep up with the lie forever? Why must you wake me up from my dream?"
