Chapter 99: Iris' Inner Turmoil and the Decision

Seated on the garden bench, Iris wiggled her little feet, her expression cold, depressed, and slightly sullen.

"Why hasn't he come yet? Didn't Charlotte mention she'd call him to the garden?" Iris inquired, her typically cold expression now tinged with an uncommon blend of discontent and sadness.

The person she referred to as 'hasn't come yet' was, of course, Leon, her father, whom she deliberately avoided and harbored hatred towards.

He was a man who had never shown up since she and her two sisters were born, and he was also irresponsible for neglecting his duties as a father.

The accumulation of hatred and resentment in her heart led her to deliberately avoid him and keep her distance.

However, upon seeing him in person for the first time at the garden, where he was playing with Fiona, Iris realized that her hatred for her father was no longer as intense but rather had transformed into jealousy.
