Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 572 I Won’t Wrong You

What kind of biological father is he if he doesn’t even bother to raise his own child? Based on what Helia had previously told her, Elspeth had already formed a negative opinion of the man in front of her. “Although you and I share a blood relationship, I don’t think our lives must intersect.” Despite knowing where she is, he hasn’t been interested in finding my mom despite knowing where she is, in over 20 years.
