Forbidden Passion

Chapter 809 The Biological Father's Resurrection

Phoebe stood next to Harper, feeling puzzled and a bit flattered that Harper had come specifically to see her mother.

"Mr. Ziegler, will you be staying in Kedora permanently?" she asked.

Harper smiled gently, with a hint of nervousness, and said, "Yes, as I get older, I just feel the need to return to my roots."

Phoebe suddenly remembered that Harper had mentioned before that his first wife was also in Kedora. It was very likely that he stayed in Kedora because of her.

"Kedora welcomes you. Have you found your ex-wife?"

Harper's smile faded a bit. "I found her, but I don't know if she wants to see me."

"She definitely wants to see you." Phoebe couldn't help but say, seeing his anxious expression. "Actually, my father was also lost at sea. My mom raised us alone. All these years, she never remarried. Sometimes I would ask her why she didn't find someone while she was still young. She used to say it was because my brother and I were still young, and later she said she was too old to find someone. But I know she was always waiting for my dad."

Harper looked at her, moved. "Did your mother really say that?"

"Yes, my mom was a beauty when she was young. After my dad left, many people pursued her, including those with good family backgrounds, but she refused to remarry. She was afraid they wouldn't treat us well." Phoebe became more emotional as she spoke.

Her persistence in romantic relationships probably came from her mother, Evelyn. Harper felt a mix of emotions, both relieved that Evelyn hadn't remarried and saddened that she had waited for him for so many years.

"Your mother has really had a hard time all these years," Harper said.

Phoebe smiled and said, "So you don't need to worry about your ex-wife not forgiving you. Maybe she's been waiting for you too."

"Yes, she's been waiting for me too," Harper sighed deeply.
