Chapter 1374: Cheyenne, Don’t Be Afraid, Daddy’s Here
A month later, Kelvin appeared in Yrose, accompanied by a strikingly handsome man.
He looked no older than thirty-five or thirty-six, dressed in a white suit that accentuated his rugged yet handsome features, resembling a war god descending to earth.
Their arrival at the airport caused quite a stir, with many young girls snapping photos and asking questions.
“Are they new celebrities? Why have I never seen them before?”
“I think the older guy is my favorite! Daddy-type boyfriends are killing me!”
“The one in black is also very handsome. Are they father and son?”
Yes, many people thought Kelvin and Channing were father and son.
Even old Mr. Foley once believed this.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Otherwise, why would his cold-hearted grandson spend so much manpower and resources to find an unrelated man?
When he learned that this man was Cheyenne’s biological father, he finally understood.
After being apart for over a decade, Channing was more excited than anyone to learn he had a daughter.
The two stood at the entrance of the Edwards family ancestral home, hesitating for a long time.
Perhaps due to nerves, the usually fearless Channing couldn’t take that small step forward, his hands trembling with excitement.
“Kelvin, are you sure my daughter lives here?”
Kelvin glanced at him coldly and replied, “If you don’t believe me, you can choose not to recognize her when you see her.”
“That’s not an option!”
He needed to see her with his own eyes to be sure.
As they spoke, exaggerated laughter came from behind them.
Three middle school students in uniforms were playfully walking out of an alley.
“Reece, where’s your allowance today? Hand it over, or next time someone bullies your sister, I won’t help you!”
“Please, Lan, don’t do this. If I come last again, my dad will make me feed the pigs. I only have fifty dollars today. Take it all.”
“Hmph, that’s more like it. Kate, let’s go to KFC after school!”
Kelvin’s face darkened upon hearing this.
He called the little girl every two weeks, and she always behaved well in front of him.
Turns out she was a little liar!
Channing’s lips twitched.
He never expected his sweet daughter to be such a little tyrant.
But despite this, when he saw her face that resembled his late wife, he was moved to tears.
There was no need for a DNA test; Channing knew immediately that the little girl in the middle was his daughter.
The magical bond of blood made him feel an instant connection with her, something he had never experienced before.
“So alike!”
“She looks just like Selah… Is this our daughter?”
If he had known his wife was pregnant back then, he wouldn’t have foolishly ventured into danger alone.
Would Selah have stayed with him then?
Would she still be alive?
Channing wiped away his tears and walked step by step toward little Cheyenne.
She looked up at him, her delicate eyebrows furrowed and her pink lips pouting as she asked warily:
“Handsome uncle, what do you want?”
“Is your name Cheyenne?”
His daughter was so beautiful!
The more he looked at her, the cuter she seemed!
Her eyes, eyebrows, and lips resembled Selah’s, while her nose took after him-a perfect blend of their best features.
The only downside was that she was too thin and short.
But that didn’t matter; he would take good care of her and make sure she grew up healthy and strong!
Unbeknownst to him, his strange behavior left the little girl momentarily stunned. She then pretended to be fierce and put her hands on her hips:
“How do you know my name?”
“Wait… Are you here for revenge? What’s your son’s name? Tell me! I’ve beaten up so many people lately that I can’t remember who they are!”
“I’ve seen plenty of parents coming to defend their kids. I’m not afraid of you!”
The little girl raised her chin proudly.
She only beat up those who deserved it; she wasn’t wrong!
Seeing her adorable demeanor melted Channing’s heart. He wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly.
And that’s exactly what he did.
“Cheyenne, don’t be afraid. Daddy’s here.”
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
“It’s my fault for not being there for you and your mom. From now on, I’ll take care of you.”
The man’s magnetic voice was filled with guilt.
Suddenly, a hot tear fell on the little girl’s forehead. She instinctively looked up.
She had thought he was a classmate’s parent seeking revenge but realized he was the father she had always longed for.
Daddy!
Cheyenne was stunned. Faced with a man who suddenly claimed to be her biological father, she should have hated him.
But when she saw his tear-filled gentle eyes, her nose tingled, and uncontrollable tears streamed down her face.
“Are you really my biological father?”
She had known for a long time that she wasn’t George’s biological daughter and understood why they treated her that way.
Fortunately, she had Kelvin and her grandfather.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t have parents.
Now that her biological father had suddenly appeared, Cheyenne thought: Maybe she’s happy about it.
From today on, she also had a daddy!
And her daddy was so handsome, even more dazzling than TV stars.
Holding his long-lost treasure in his arms-the only memory of his wife-Channing wanted to give her the world’s most precious things.
He knelt down and held the little girl’s cold, slender hands tightly in his large ones.
“You look a lot like your mommy; the rest is like me.”
This was the first time Cheyenne heard about her mother from someone else. She looked up with bright eyes and stared at him.
“Did she love me as much as you do?”
Mentioning his late wife brought only pain to Channing’s heart.
He felt even more sorry for Cheyenne.
His daughter had lost her mother at birth and had never even seen her face.
And it was all because of his recklessness.
“She loved you very much.”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to leave alone and give birth to Cheyenne despite being hunted down.
At that time, they were already divorced. If Selah had been selfish, she could have aborted the baby and continued being the Edwards family’s eldest daughter.
But she didn’t.
To protect Cheyenne, she chose to marry under dangerous circumstances.
When Channing first heard about his wife’s remarriage, he was furious.
But when Kelvin told him it was to protect their daughter, he chose to forgive her.
He never expected her to die during childbirth; at that moment, he felt his world collapse.
It was all because he hadn’t protected them well enough.
Upon arriving in Akloit, Channing visited George in prison on the first day.
From that man, he learned that Selah and George were only fake spouses; Selah’s true love had always been him.
He also learned that Malaya and those behind her had conspired to harm his beloved wife.
He bribed the warden with a sum of money, instructing them to “take good care” of that woman every day.
Letting her die would be too easy!
He wanted Malaya to live a life worse than death!
