Chapter 913
Ellinor gave a firm shake of her head and moved to support Marissa, “Granny, he’s really not my dad.”
Marissa asked with concern, “Then why are they looking for you? Should I get someone to deal with this?”
Feeling the warmth from Marissa’s concern, Ellinor gave a small smile and shook her head again, “Granny, don’t
worry about it. I can handle this. You just had dinner, why don’t you go inside and rest?”
With that, she turned to Veronica, who was still standing nearby.
“Veronica, come over here. Help Granny inside and make sure she doesn’t worry.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVeronica nodded and took over from Ellinor, guiding Marissa towards the house.
Marissa was still worried, but seeing that Ellinor was insistent on handling it herself, she didn’t say anything more.
“Marissa, wait! We really are Ellinor’s family. It’s just that Ellinor has forgotten us since she married into a wealthy
family!” Sheila shouted at Marissa, who was already turning away.
Marissa stopped after hearing this..
Seeing that her daughter’s words had an effect, Tracy chimed in, “Marissa, we’re really Ellinor’s family. Why else
would we be here looking for her? Ever since she married into the Blanchet family, she’s looked down on us and
hasn’t contacted us at all! Marissa, you seem like a decent person. I don’t think a respected family like the
Blanchets would appreciate an ungrateful woman!”
With that, Tracy signaled for Arnold to add his piece.
Arnold quickly got the hint and said, “Yes, Marissa, Ellinor really is my daughter. I really am her father!”
After hearing their statements, Marissa turned to look at them, especially Arnold. Squinting, she asked, “You say
you’re Ellinor’s father; then why does Ellinor say you’re
not?”
Arnold was forced to explain, “Marissa, the thing is, I’m not Ellinor’s biological father. I’m her adoptive father.”
Marissa frowned, “Adoptive father? For how long did you raise Ellinor?”
Arnold quickly replied, “Marissa, I raised her for over a decade. I took her in when she was around four or five. But
ever since she married into the Blanchet family, she’s looked down on me, her adoptive father, and hasn’t come
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback to see me once. She’s probably embarrassed by me… It’s quite heartbreaking.”
Marissa asked again, “If it’s so heartbreaking, then why are you here? Mr. Arnold, what are you here for?”
Arnold looked a bit awkward and took a moment to find the right words, “Marissa, as you can see, Ellinor won’t
acknowledge me as her father, and I didn’t really want to come here either. But recently, some issues that Ellinor
caused back in the countryside have surfaced, and the people involved have come to us in the city for a resolution.
I had no other choice but to bring them here to find Ellinor.”
At this, Ellinor furrowed her brows. Issues she had caused in the countryside? What issues? She had no idea what
was going on!
Marissa also turned around and stared at Arnold, “Mr. Arnold, you better be more specific. What issues did Ellinor
cause that made you guys come here to find her?”
Arnold heaved a deep sigh, “It’s a long story. Maybe you should ask the people involved directly.”
With that, he turned his head towards Sheila’s old sports car and shouted, “You guys can come out now!”
