Chapter 291: A Second Chance
The party soon ended, but it didn’t pass Raine’s attention that one of the people she invited didn’t come. She looked at Nathan and telepathically informed, [I will go out with Father and visit Janus’s residence.]
[I’ll go with you,] Nathan quickly replied.
Raine shook her head. [It’s best that you don’t, darling,] she sincerely stated. [Stay here and continue your conversations with your men. I won’t take long.]
Having said her piece, Raine then walked towards the table where her father was. She smiled at him, to which the latter simply nodded. In hindsight, it was no wonder that she and Randall had this sort of connection even if he wasn’t talking to her.
"Would you like to go with me?" Raine asked.
He nodded, promptly standing up as Raine comfortably hooked her arm around his like she used to. Unlike before, he was now talking, although Raine have heard that he would only talk whenever he asked about something.
"I’m sure you’re already aware of your real identity. You’re no longer Randall, but Lark, and I’m your real daughter," she explained. "You had a twin with Mother: me and Mara. I’ll introduce you to her soon..." She sighed, "I’m sorry if I took too long to approach you like this. It’s just that there were too many things to process. And to be honest, I’m still... Hmm.."
Raine was unable to continue, wondering if her father was even able to understand her.
Turning to him, she hoped to be proven wrong. Unfortunately, like he used to... there was still no expression on his face whatsoever.
"I will protect you, Princess..."
Her eyes widened upon hearing his voice. She didn’t know how to respond beyond doing a mere shrug with her shoulders.
