Chapter 812: Chapter 806: Returning to the Thorne Family Again (Part 3)

Make Whitney Lynch pay for what she did back then.

Ultimately, Dad is going to learn the truth.

Her heart ached as she returned to her room, picked up her phone, initially planning to browse Weibo, but instead saw a text message.

Upon seeing the sender, her heart suddenly twisted painfully.

It was from Dad.

Between the lines, it was filled with apologies and affection for her.

"Tiana, next Wednesday is your twenty-first birthday. Last time, you and your mom had an unpleasant argument, and you left unhappy, saying you wouldn’t come back to this home again. While you’ve been away, I’ve thought a lot.

When you were little, I once came home late from work at night and found you sitting alone in the living room eating bread, while your mom and your sister were in the kitchen drinking pigeon soup. Your mom explained that you didn’t like pigeon soup and didn’t say anything.

Later, the kitchen informed me that your mom simply hadn’t prepared any. I witnessed this once, just once. How many other times were there that I didn’t see?

I think, as a father, I spent too little time at home and gave you too little warmth, causing the relationship between you and your mother to become increasingly strained with no room for reconciliation. The family was not harmonious, and I, as the head of the household, hold significant blame for that—lack of communication with your mother and lack of affection for you.

But after all, we are a family. I still remember when you smiled at me, opening your eyes during your infancy. From childhood to now, you’ve always appeared obedient in front of me, always with a smile. I thought you were doing well, that your mom had never treated you poorly. Until today, when I accidentally discovered your mom spent money to hire people to spread negativity against you, it finally dawned on me that what I saw was merely what she wanted me to see; what I didn’t see were your sufferings.

It’s also because of this that you distanced yourself from this family. After your illness improved, we rarely reunited as father and daughter. Dad truly wants to say sorry to you for enduring unequal treatment all these years. Last night, I had a long talk with your mom. She said she would treat you better in the future. To this, I am hesitant to trust, yet hold onto a hope that our family can be whole again.

I don’t know if over the years you’ve harbored resentment for my incompetence, nor do I beg for you to forgive my foolishness. I just want you to know that to Dad, this will always be your home. If you don’t want to come back, you can give Dad your address and I’ll visit you. This year, we’ve drifted apart too much.

Dad really wishes to say these words to you in person, but you tend to report the good news and not the bad, and I worry you may not want to listen, so I used this way to send you this message. I just hope to be given a chance to spend your twenty-first birthday with you, will you?

If you don’t want to come home, it’s okay, we can have a meal together and you can share your thoughts with Dad. If you’re too busy with work, that’s fine too, but remember to buy a cake and enjoy it."

She read every word, etched them into her heart, and rarely moved, she was already in tears by the end of the message.

Her heart ached close to suffocating.

She had always been busy with work, which, to Dad, was distancing.

Before, simply hating Whitney Lynch, she left abruptly and rarely saw Dad, neglecting a father’s heart for his daughter.

Now, she understood the true meaning of the saying, ’frequently visit home.’

Previously, she rarely went home, but now, she feared that after Dad learned the truth, he might not want her anymore.
