A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 533

Logan's confrontation left Declan frozen in place, utterly speechless.

“You want to take Chloe away just because you're angry. But have you thought about how Chloe feels? She's so happy living with us now, and all you can bring her is pain...”

The child's words, innocent and naive, pierced Declan straight in the heart.

For a moment, Declan's face mirrored that of a frightened child.

When Declan left, everyone was too stunned to react. Chloe stared in disbelief as Declan walked away, finding it hard to accept.

The man's dejected expression was that of a bullied animal, yet he was the one who had lashed out first. In the end, it seemed as though they were the ones bullying him.

Matilda swallowed hard, watching Declan disappear from sight. She cautiously asked, “He's gone?”

Chloe and Godfrey looked just as shocked, nodding, “Seems like it.”

“Damn.”

Eugene and Criss cursed in unison. They had been rolling up their sleeves, ready for a fight, but it ended... just like that?

“...” Eugene was speechless for a moment, “You think Declan is that kind of petty guy?”

The look on Chloe's face changed, “He really left?”
