Chapter 37 Dared to Call Her Mom a Liar!


"Did your mom ever mention someone named Ambrose Vale?" Alaric inquired.

Elisa shook her head truthfully and responded, "She's always told us we don't have a dad. That's all she would say."

"Don't flatter yourself. If you had a cute, sensible, and pretty daughter like me, you'd be the lucky one. Plenty of guys would love to claim they're my dad, but they just don't cut it." "So, I should feel honored?"

"You bet!" Elisa said with pride in her voice.

Though Galatea had always made sure Harry and Elisa were well-cared for materially, their lifestyle now was nothing compared to Galatea's own youth.

She always felt she owed them more.
