Chapter 834 Go Ahead Then
Graham knew his daughter wasn't being sarcastic. "I just worry about you, you know."
"I know, but you don't need to. I've survived on my own all these years, haven't I?" She
was already an adult, for God's sake.
But the man felt guiltier hearing that. "It's because you had to survive on your own
without my help that I feel guilty, Jenny. All I hope is that you can finally find a nice young
man to be with so he can protect you when I can't."
"Then you've got it wrong, Dad. There's no upside to relying on others these days." She
had never considered finding someone to protect her. Even if she did, she wanted to
actually like that person.

idea."
Jenny smiled but said nothing in return.
"You still have feelings for Alec Faust, don't you?* her father asked, still worried.
Jenny stiffened up instantly. She hadn't prepared herself for that question." Why do you
ask? It's been ages since we were together.’
"Love doesn't always thin with time. Sometimes it can even grow stronger and deeper.’
Just like the love Graham had for Jenny's mother. It had been decades since he'd seen her.
He still didn't know if she was alive, yet he still loved her deeply.
Jenny pursed her lips, staying silent now.
Graham sighed a third time. He had only guessed before, but it was confirmed now. "I
don't oppose the relationship, in truth. I just worry you'll be hurt again. But I know what
my Jenny is like. She'll protect herself from harm."
Worried as he was, he knew he had to let go one day.
Jenny wrinkled her nose. "Focus on enjoying your retirement now, please. You don't need
to fret about me any longer."
"You're right. Now that you are in charge of the family business, I can pursue other
passions." Graham nodded, trusting Jenny.
The woman glanced at him. "Are you really going to look for my mother?"
"Mhm. I've wanted to long ago, but just delayed it on and on. I hope your mother still
remembers me."
"Do you know her whereabouts?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sadly, no.’ Graham huffed. He would've gone after her ages ago if he knew.
"Then what's your plan?" Jenny frowned.
"There's bound to be clues somehow. I had the portraits of the people who took your
mother away drawn. We should be able to trace them." As long as those people were still
alive, Graham trusted his ability to hunt them down.
Jenny wasn't so optimistic. It had been years, after all. People change. Still, she didn't
discourage him. "Go ahead then."
She knew that was the one thing her father would want to accomplish before his time, or
he'd live in regret for the remainder of his life.
"I'll find her, Jenny, and we'll finally reunite. I want to show her how beautiful and strong
our daughter has become." Graham smiled warmly, feeling hopeful.
Jenny smiled and nodded. "This might be good for him," she thought.
People often found life more enjoyable once they had a purpose after all.
