The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 666

Shirley, who was wearing a long dress, anxiously ran into the lobby.

When she saw Kayn on the sofa, she froze. On the other hand, Kayn’s fierce expression changed the moment he turned his head around and locked eyes with his daughter.

“S–Shirley… Is it really you?” Kayn said excitedly when he saw her.

Shirley stood there in a daze. Her last memory of Kayn, her father, was back when she was in her teens. Now that she was in her twenties, it has been almost a decade since she last saw him.

At that moment, Shirley covered her mouth with one hand as tears welled up in her eyes.

“Shirley,” Kayn called out again.

Despite his divorce from Christina, Shirley was still his daughter at the end of the day, and his only living relative in the world.

For a moment, Shirley had no idea what to say in that situation. She wiped her tears and turned to Adrian, asking, “Is he Kayn, Adrian? Why does he look so disheveled?”

Adrian nodded and motioned for Shirley to sit next to him.

Obediently, Shirley sat, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the man in front of her.

“Kayn, meet Shirley, your daughter. I believe she’s more important to you than anyone else in the world, so do you really want to hurt your daughter with your problems?” Adrian askerl

“Ah.” Kayn was stunned.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“She’s only just graduated from university and has a bright future ahead of her. I doubt there’s anyone who’d disagree that their daughters are their utmost priority,” Adrian added.

Meanwhile, Shirley did not dare to go up and acknowledge Kayn as her father, who was nothing more than a stranger to her. After all, she had not seen him in ten years.

However, Kayn said, “Sir, are you using my daughter to threaten me despite being the legate of Wyvern Peak? A group that claims to be an ally of justice? How different would you be from Chase if you do this?”

“There’s a huge difference, of course. If I were Chase, your daughter would be locked in a room right now while being entertained by a few men rather than sitting next to me as she looks at you,” Adrian replied.

Kayn was stunned when he heard this while Shirley suddenly said, “Kayn, can’t you just answer Adrian’s questions honestly? Do you even see what you’ve become? Why would you play with fire when you could live a happy life?!”

“Shirley, I-”

However, Shirley continued to yell before Kayn could say anything else.

“Is there a reason why you’re doing all this? I know there’s something, so hurry up and tell Adrian what’s up with the book! And why would you be in the middle of Wyvern Peak and Internal Affairs‘ strafe?!

“Who do you think you are? Can’t you see you’re only getting Mother and me in a lot of trouble with what you’re doing?!”

After hearing all this, Kayn could only hold his head with both his hands, unable to figure out how to face his daughter.

Shirley stood up and walked toward Kayn. Standing before him, she crouched down and said, “Father, you’ve been on the wrong path since the beginning and should be punished for your crimes. However, if you don’t wish for Mother and me to suffer because of your artions, you should come clean and tell Adrian what you’ve done.”

Kayn was in tears as he looked at his daughter whom he had not seen for ten years. “Will you forgive me, Shirley?” Shirley shook her head. “I won’t be able to forgive you, but I might pray for you when you die if you tend your ways. However, if you continue on this path, Mather and I will end up in a lot of trouble, understand?”

“I…” Kayn was heartbroken and his mouth hung open. Then, he turned to Adrian and said, “I’ll tell you everything, sir, but on

my terms. You can’t harm my daughter and ex–wife. I need you to promise me this, or I won’t tell you a single word even if I have to die because of it.”

Adrian replied, “Don’t worry, Shirley and I are friends.”
