Chapter 395: Some Things Never Change.
To the shock of everyone except Mr. Wyatt and Geal, Mr. Adams walked in behind the couple. He walked towards the table with Arissa and stood behind her as he have always done when she was still a little girl.
"Join us," Arissa ordered softly with a smile. Her emotions wasn’t yet stable and what Nicklaus told her earlier in the bathroom about Mr. Adams being her biological father and not Alfred left her shaken.
She believed Nicklaus but when he showed her DNA proof between herself and Mr. Adams to solidify his claims, she forgot how to breath.
When they came back downstairs and she saw the man who have been so kind to her all through childhood, she said noting to him apart from a soft nod for the sake of formality.
She doesn’t even know what to say to him or how to see him in a new light of being her biological father and slowly, everything fell into places. She finally understood why Alfred tried to kill her in the hospital. He wouldn’t have done that had it been she were to be his daughter.
Her breath caught up in her throat and she tried not to cry. Nicklaus read her body language and placed a hand behind her, stocking her down to calm her nerves.
Mr. Adams greatfully took the seat in between Arissa and Mrs. Wyatt before joining then to eat. He locked eyes with Nicklaus concerning Arissa dull expression and when Nicklaus nodded, Mr. Adams took in a deep breath of understanding.
Some things never change.
He stole a glance at Arissa, trying to understand how she took in the sudden information from Nicklaus. He never thought a day would come for him to openly let his child know that she was his.
