"Lilith…" Noah Ford knelt in front of Lily, his back ramrod straight.
His expression weighed down by sorrow, he said hoarsely and sincerely, "I'm sorry, I have failed you as a father."
It has to be said that Noah Ford's bravery and strength, compared to Bella Scott's tendency to feign confusion and weakness when facing problems, were much more pronounced.
But, all of this was too late.
Such an apology, had arrived more than twenty years too late.
Lily looked at Noah Ford, her voice cold, "Uncle, you got it wrong. My father is Ken Redington, not you."
"I... I know…" Noah Ford closed his eyes, a pained expression crossing his face.
The name Ken Redington, as a rival in love, had been etched in his heart for countless years.
He once believed he could escape it.
But in the end, it was merely retribution.
The rival he always wanted to surpass, the one he always wanted to forget, one day ended up being spoken from the lips of the child he loved as his own daughter.
