Chapter 533:

Elyse glanced at Morgan’s angry expression and asked hesitantly, “Do you really despise my Dad?”

“I loathe him!” Morgan clenched her fist, likely dredging up memories of old wounds, and gritted her teeth, clearly itching to tear Rickey apart.

After her fury ebbed, Morgan sighed and smiled bitterly. “Even though I can’t stand him, I have to admit he has some redeeming qualities, and I’m oddly grateful to him.”

Turning to face Elyse, Morgan gently caressed her cheek, her voice softening. “Your dad is much stronger than I am. When I was at my lowest, he pulled me out of the darkness with his strength. Despite my hatred, I can’t ignore the gratitude I feel.”

Elyse gazed at Morgan intently, sensing a deeper affection for her father lurking beneath the surface.

Morgan’s words said she hated Rickey, but the nostalgia in her voice and the expressions on her face suggested otherwise.

Elyse tucked this observation away and smiled. “I think my dad must trust you a lot. That’s why he always relies on you.”

Morgan raised an eyebrow but didn’t deny it. “Let’s leave it at that for today. I’ll tell you more about your parents another time.”

Seeing Morgan prepare to leave, Elyse quickly grabbed her arm, her eyes pleading. “Do you have any photos of my parents together? I really want at least one picture of them.”
