Chapter 610: Who is Tina's Father?

Not far away, Angela sat on the wall, watching a heartwarming scene unfold in the Brookes family's yard. The guilt that had been weighing on her heart was finally starting to dissipate. Seeing Grandpa Brookes' smile, a smile unwittingly appeared on her own lips too.

Like Rachel, Angela had known from a young age that she was adopted. She had once wanted to call Grandpa Brookes "Dad" just like Rachel did, but for some reason she never could. She knew in her heart that the only person who could be her father was Ian. Only when she discovered her true origins did she understand her reticence.

At that moment, Angela decided that she needed to bring Alina back to make Grandpa Brookes genuinely happy for once. Now, her wish was finally fulfilled.

Gradually, Angela's gaze shifted to Brandon, who was playfully holding his head. She laughed involuntarily; this man truly never changed, no matter what happened!

Angela continued to sit on the wall for a while before slowly getting up to leave. Suddenly, she caught Natalie's meaningful gaze from afar. Though they were at a distance, Angela knew Natalie was looking her way. With a helpless shake of her head, Angela realized Alina had discovered her presence.

She took out her phone and texted Natalie, "I'm waiting at home. Spend some quality time with the old man first."

Grandpa Brookes and Natalie talked at length, mostly about what had happened in Natalie's life over the past thirty years - too much to cover in one sitting. Natalie glossed over her time with the Whittaker family, mentioning only that her foster parents had passed away, without delving into further details.

Eventually, Grandpa Brookes, looking at Tina playing with Kiki and Mimi, asked, "Natalie, who is Tina's father, after all?"

Natalie knew this question would come up sooner or later. She didn't shut down the conversation but was reluctant to reveal too much. "Dad, all I can say is he's the bravest, greatest man in the world, my true love. Our separation was due to our careers, not a faltering of feelings. He is no deserter."

Listening to Natalie speak, Grandpa Brookes felt a bittersweet sensation. It seemed his little girl's heart had been stolen by another. "Is he really as good as you say?" he asked skeptically.
