Chapter 814: Chapter 814 Father’s Love _1
The biological daughter standing in front of him, wanting to acknowledge her, is a natural human sentiment.
When Meredith Richards left Christopher Simonson back then, he thought they were both young enough that there was still room for things to change, but the reality was that in this world, often a small misstep could lead to irrevocable consequences.
Having suffered from a bout of illness, Christopher Simonson understood more profoundly—a matter at hand should be dealt with at once. The ways of the world are unpredictable, and perhaps the next day, one could be fooled by the heavens and left with lifelong regrets!
He never wanted his daughter to be adrift in the world like a solitary wild goose. It was just that Purple Summers never gave him the chance. She had already publicly denied their blood relationship on the TV. Was she now going against her previous stance?
“I want to adopt you as my daughter,” Christopher Simonson said without any melodramatic words, his voice heavy with his intentions, “No matter whether I am the president in the future or not, I will fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a father, to take care of you, to protect you.
You grew up in Clearwater and it’s okay if you’re not used to this place. You can still live with your foster mother, I won’t interfere with your freedom or life, nor will I make things difficult for your foster mother.”
Purple Summers fell silent and did not respond immediately.
Caitlin Carter wiped the remaining tears from her face with a tissue and sighed, “Please agree. Otherwise, we’ll never be able to live at peace…”
Acknowledging Christopher Simonson as her father, without being constrained by the Simonson Family and still able to live with Atra Blanc, was undoubtedly very tempting.
——And it was exactly what Purple Summers needed right now.
Going to Pearlpoint City might be a wise move, but it might also bring Zack Wallace under pressure.
After all, Roy Howard had “died” in the news. Would the people he left behind scatter like birds and beasts? Zack Wallace had to consolidate Alexander Summers’s influence while also facing the oppression of Damian Howard; his time in Pearlpoint might not be easy.
However, if she became Christopher Simonson’s daughter, the situation would be greatly different.
Even if Damian Howard was extremely vicious, would he dare to take his frustrations out on the president’s daughter?
If the Howard Family’s will scattered and their power was disrupted, how could he, teetering in his position as family head, dare to offend the Presidential Palace?
As long as she was safe, Alexander would be safer too.
No longer would he need to worry over her, and he could calmly gather his strength. If he was still alive…
Purple weighed the pros and cons and thought everything through.
“Are you sure? You won’t interfere with my freedom?” She raised her eyes to look at Christopher Simonson, her tearful eyes covered with a layer of water, clear and penetrating.
Christopher Simonson said, “Purple, this is what I should’ve done from the beginning.”
Purple pondered for a moment and nodded, “Okay, I agree.”
Her reply was straightforward, her voice firm, yet it still brought a smile to Christopher Simonson’s face.
Caitlin Carter also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling it was a happy and complete ending.
Caitlin Carter called home to share the good news, then took Purple Summers back to the Simonson house.
Now that they had decided to adopt Purple, it wasn’t just a matter of saying so. They needed to entertain friends and relatives to announce it and transfer Purple’s household registration to Kingsley. Each detail needed to be discussed one by one.
“We’ve just moved into a new home; you can pick out your favorite room,” Caitlin said to Purple in the car. “Actually, when we first learned about you, we wanted you to come over. We made many preparations in anticipation, only to have you appear on the TV show… Did that cause you a lot of trouble at that time?”
Purple spoke truthfully, “Yes, reporters were outside my house every day, making it impossible to go to school. I had no choice but to take leave and stay at home.”
Caitlin assured her, “That will never happen again.”
Purple slightly curved her lips, showing a faint smile.
Taking advantage of Christopher Simonson’s belated fatherly love to resolve her immediate crises, she felt no guilt or remorse.
This was what “Purple Summers” deserved, and what she deserved.
