Chapter 560 Between Father And Daughter

After greeting the guests, Baron called Essie into the study.

"Cathy, play chess with dad. We haven't played chess together for a long time."

Essie nodded and sat down. She knew that Baron must have something more than playing chess with her.

The servant brought two cups of black tea.

Baron took a sip and smiled, "I still remember that you were very active when you were a child. You always couldn't sit still, so every time you played chess, you ran away halfway."

With a faint smile on her face, Essie thought that she was never fit to play such a game that required her to think a lot.

"Mr. Baron, my sister is much better at playing chess than me. You should ask her to play with you."

Baron sighed, "Cathy, when will you call me daddy again?"

Essie lowered her eyes and a touch of sadness swept across her face. "Mr. Baron, you have sister, brother, Valery and Holy. It's dispensable to have me as daughter. But my father is different. He only has one daughter, so... " Her voice was very low. Father Yi had devoted all his father's love to her since she was a child. It was enough for her to have a father, and she didn't need another one. Since she left the Xu family at the age of seven, Baron, this father had been redundant to her.

His words stabbed into Baron's heart like a dagger. He had done a father's duty to his kids from Alice to Holy, except for her. He hadn't been a good father, and he had been absent for so many years.

"I know. I'm sorry for you and your mommy. I want to make it up to you and give me a chance," he said in a low voice.

With a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, Essie said, "I'm fine now. I don't lack anything, so you don't need to compensate me anything." She didn't lack money, nor did she lack her father, nor did she lack his love. What could he compensate her? The only thing she wanted was a happy childhood, but he would never make it up to her.

Baron's heart was in turmoil. He knew that she hadn't forgiven him. She was smarter and more sensible than other children since childhood. From the moment Elizabeth entered the Xu family, the way she looked at him had changed. She no longer regarded him as the person she worshiped and respected most, nor was she as intimate as before, as if he was no longer her father. Therefore, when he divorced Luce, she resolutely chose to follow Luce and completely abandoned him, her father.

"No matter how good Bob is, he is not your biological father after all."

"After leaving the Xu family, Elizabeth sent killers to assassinate us, trying to kill us all. It was him who saved us. Without him, my mother and I might not have lived to this day. He is not my biological father, but gave me a new life. So, in my heart, he is more important than my biological father. " There was firmness in Essie's tone.

Baron heaved a heavy sigh and said, "I know Elizabeth is a woman who always reaches her goal by all means. But after all, she is the mother of Vinton and Valery, and she has saved your grandmother's life, so..."

"You don'

in the room. Baron seemed to pay attention to the chessboard. After a long time, he pushed the 'soldier' forward and smiled, "Well, don't just talk about your brother. Tell me about you too. How are you and Zac recently?"

With a slight smile at the corners of her mouth, Essie said, "We are fine."

Baron took a sip of tea and said, "Your mother came to see me. She is worried about you and is afraid that your mother-in-law will treat you badly."

Hearing that, Essie was shocked. Her mother had worried too much. After all, Zac was different from the person in front of her He had his own thoughts, and even Mary could not restrain him. Therefore, she believed that her fate and mother's would not be the same.

"In fact, my mother-in-law has been nice to me recently. Maybe she has accepted me." She smiled lightly.

"No matter it's Mary or Zac, as long as they dare to bully you, you must tell me. I'll uphold justice for you," Baron said.

His daughter was courageous, intelligent and resourceful. He believed that she could cope with Mary. Most importantly, the marriage with the Rong family was the best for the Xu family. Her daughter would be the hostess of the Rong family in the future, and her grandson, Dot, would undoubtedly become the future leader of the family. As a capitalist, it was impossible for him to help Luce to break up such a good marriage.

With a slight smile on her face, Essie said, "Don't worry. My situation is different from that of my mother. There are grandma and grandpa in the Rong family, and there is a father-in-law. My mother-in-law alone can't do anything alone."

Baron's eyes darkened. Her words undoubtedly hurt him. Vicki had always been domineering at home. Since he was a child, he had been obedient to her and never dared to go against her will. Even now, he still didn't have the courage to resist her.

Outside the study, someone had been eavesdropping at the door. She followed them since they entered. She gritted her teeth, with a malicious light shining in her eyes.
