Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 85: Even If He Is My Father

Amber had taken the day off again. She didn't need to be there, but she wanted to witness Hugo's family's disgraceful departure with her own eyes, so she had asked Elizabeth for leave to stay at home.

Throughout the conversation between Hugo and Elizabeth, she had remained silent; at her young age, it wasn't her place to speak in such situations.

However, she never imagined that Hugo would suddenly turn the conversation to her and force her to make a choice.

Her fingers clenched tightly, lips bitten, eyes brimming with tears, she looked the picture of aggrievement, "Dad, are you going to cut ties with me, too?"

Hugo's expression remained unchanged, his speech even-tempered, "I want you to make a choice. If you come with me, you can't come back here. If you stay with your grandmother, you can't come looking for me. Amber, you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw; you must choose one or the other."

It was his intent to have Amber choose.

Over the years, he had watched Amber's behavior and character, and he was disappointed.

Especially after Tina's return, Amber's actions had chilled his heart.

The situation between him and Elizabeth had become irreparable. He had made his choice, and Amber, as his adopted daughter, had to make hers too.

"Dad, why do you have to be at odds with grandma? You used to be fine with each other. Grandma is old, and she has her difficulties too. Even though I am your adopted child, I have always treated you and mom as my real parents. I wish our family could all be happy and joyful."

Amber's eyes reddened as she cried, "I know Tina has been angry with me since she came back, thinking that I took everything that belonged to her. But it wasn't my choice. Dad, can't you not sever ties with grandma? I don't want to leave you all!"

Hugo's brow furrowed, and he rebuked her in a low voice, "Enough!"

He had almost shouted, and Amber, who had never seen him in such a terrifying manner, trembled in fear.

"Your sister has never been angry with you. She hasn't even mentioned you at home. Where did you get the idea that she's angry with you for taking her things? Amber, ask yourself, in the two years you've been in my house, haven't your mother and I gone without food and clothes to provide for you? Zackary is my biological son, and sometimes he went hungry, but I never let you starve."
