Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Chapter 609 Four Ridiculous Things

"What? Are you very shocked to see me? Or you don't want to see me again?" Emilia asked and sneered.

"You look great. Have you recovered yet?"

Oscar paused shortly and spat out flatly. Emilia then sat down on a couch.

She stared at her father for a while and make a mockery of himself, laughing.

"Today, you are nice to me. You suddenly lighten up or someone has taught you? You used to not care about me before. But I heard that you tried to help me when I was hospitalized. You seem to worry about me. It makes me surprised."

"You are my daughter. I am supposed to care about you."

Hearing this, Emilia inevitably gave a snatch of laughter.

"You know what. When I was little, I was always curious about why Aston's parents would hug him, play with him, and give him surprises. But you never hugged me, and even smiled at me. At that time, I felt like I might do something wrong to make you unhappy, so I tried hard to be obedient and learn all kinds of stuff. I guessed I was not smart and good enough. I blamed it all on myself and swore to myself that one day I will make you proud."

"But I have been working hard for years, and you still don't want to see me. You didn't even visit me on my birthday. It's always your secretary who tells me that you have gotten me some gifts. I don't feel the love at all. I don't like those gifts either. I want to discuss it with you, but I can't even get in touch with you. Even if you answer my call, you always hang it up really quick. I don't understand. Is this what you call love?"

"About what happened to Margie, I can understand it now. I am her stepdaughter. She doesn't like me and even hates me over these years. I call totally understand her. But you, you are my father, aren't you? I doubt it. Do we need to do a paternity test?" As Emilia finished her words, Oscar, who sat on his chair, stared at her for a long while. In the end, he answered her.

"There is no doubt that we are father and daughter. You can't doubt it."

"That's absurd, then. If you don't like me, I can understand. I know not every parent likes their kids. You don't have to like me even if I am good. It's common to be biased. But you don't have other kids. I used to think that perhaps things just won't go the way I want. I accept it. I understand it."

"But after what happened to Margie, I became the daughter of your loved one. I was given birth through surrogate pregnancy. You put effort into it. I don't know why you did it. Maybe you are trying to have a daughter with your loved one. But for me, as your daughter, you have been neglecting me. I just don't get it. So, even if I am not cured, I still need to be here and want you to answer me in person."

"As long as you answer me, I will go and meet Margie one more time, and then I will take the treatment as told. I will not bother you anymore after all that stuff. You don't want me. You don't want to see me. I am totally fine with it. I want you to tell me the truth in person now. Why have you been so indifferent to me? Is it merely because I am quite alike my biological mother?"

Emilia had doubts inside her for over all these years. She learned very little about the truth. She could understand Margie didn't like her and took avenge on her in the end, but she couldn't understand her biological father had been ignoring her for over twenty years. If it was because of her identity, she would allow it to pass. But now, she had become the daughter of his loved one, he still treated her the same way as before. She couldn't let it pass.

"I have done four silly things in my life."

After a long time, Oscar moved his mouth.

"The first one was to marry Margie. She saved my life. I loved her. I even neglected her rejection. I thought she was not supposed to reject me. I just want to possess her."

"The second one was that when I found out Margie was not the woman I looked for, I forced her to get an abortion and divorce with her."

"The third one was to stick to give birth to you through surrogacy."

"The fourth one was to not divorce with Margie."

"All these four stupid things have ruined Margie's life and my life as well."

"And ruined your childhood as well."

Oscar then kept silent. Emilia was stunned at the beginning, for she knew Oscar was not irresolute.

Now that he answered her question, then it was the truth.

She pondered what he said for a few seconds and realized what it was.

Emilia began taunting him.

"You really are the silliest idiot who has done the silliest thing in the world. You noticed you have done something stupid, but you keep yourself busy and never face it. You don't even dare to apologize to Margie. Is it your egoism what damage your love, or your silliness? It's so ridiculous..." "So, my existence proves one of the stupid things you did, and that you have no turning back, right?"

Oscar still kept his mouth shut. Emilia got to her feet and gave a big snort of laughter.

"After all these years, why do you keep doing stupid things like this?"

"Because of you, I am sure that she will not forgive me. All I can do is to bind her up around me and make her become Ms. Powell. In that case, she can't be with another man anymore, and she will always be mine." "Did you tell her all about these?"

Emilia asked sarcastically, and Oscar shook his head.

"It doesn't matter if I have told her or not. What's done cannot be undone. I understand it."

"I now understand the reason why you don't like me. You can't just make me vanish. I am the cause that you can't get back to her. But I still don't get that how do you think of my biological mother?"

"It is just a dream. I wake up until it is too long."

Oscar finished his word, and Emilia whirled around and left without looking back.

Without another word, or even talking or gesturing to Ivan who was waiting for her out of the office, she directly marched towards the elevator with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

Ivan followed up and took the elevator with her.

After that, Emilia still kept her mouth closed until both of them got into the car. She abruptly hugged Ivan and burst into tears.

For more than ten minutes, she wailed bitterly, panting and shaking. And Ivan looked very worriedly at her.

He continuously patted her back and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Don't cry. Tell me what happened. I will always be on your side. Not everyone has the love from their parents. Don't take it too hard. You have other people to love you. If he doesn't love, just leave it." Emilia slowly let go of her grip around Ivan. She suddenly felt helpless. Her heart was still broken.

She couldn't help speaking to him.

"Do you know why he doesn't love me? It's very absurd. Why on earth is he so ridiculous? He is the most ridiculous man I have ever seen."

"Why? If you are willing to tell me about it, I will listen to you. You abuse him, insult him and do whatever you like. I can do it with you. Even if you want to beat him up, I can do it for you too."

Emilia put on a forced smile. Her heart was still rending.

"When I asked her this question, he answered me. He said he had done four stupid things in his life."

"The first one was to marry Margie. The second one was to divorce Margie and force her to have an abortion when he found out she was not the woman he looked for. The third one was to stick to giving birth to me through surrogacy. The fourth one was to not divorce Margie. he is ridiculous, isn't he?"

Ivan didn't understand it at once.

He thought it over again and again. Suddenly, he asked Emilia in surprise.

"You were saying that the person your father really loves is Margie, and he realizes it until it's too late. Right?"

Emilia laughed ironically.

"Yes. How ridiculous he is. No wonder he said he have done many silly things. He, of course, will not love me, because I am the evidence of his silliness."

Upon hearing the whole thing, Ivan was touched.

He reached her hands and held her into his arms.

"Forget him. He does not deserve your tears. You will have many many people to love you."

"He has made so many ridiculous decisions. He loses love, and now you, his only daughter. He gives up on you, and now, he totally loses affection. He does not deserve it. Just save your tears."
