The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2246

Wayne always knew, deep down, that Cory held a grudge against him.

It was only his mother's choice that brought about a reluctant acceptance. Cory wanted nothing more than to see his mom happy, and if that meant welcoming Wayne into their lives because she chose him, then so be it.

So, Wayne braced himself for the scolding and criticism he was sure would come from Cory's lips. But what he never expected was...

"I've crunched numbers and studied physics, a staunch materialist, but... this time, I'm hoping for something different. I'm hoping for a miracle."

The usually stoic kid, rarely showing a hint of emotion, suddenly had misty eyes, tears threatening to spill over as he fought to keep them at bay.

"You've done a lot of wrong, bullying Mom, nearly killing me and my sister, using Uncle Noah Holland and Great-Grandma as leverage against my mom... I really hated your presence.d2

But things are different now. I've come to accept you as my dad. Mom needs you, my sister needs you... I need you too. So, can you come back?"

Wayne had no idea that both Ivy and Cory had found out about that time he doubted Rosalynn was carrying his child and had vehemently demanded she get an abortion.

Hearing both Cory and Ivy mention this shook him to his core, filled with shock and panic.

He had never imagined that after learning about it, the kids would choose to forgive him.

Wayne had even concocted several plans in his head to make things right with the kids.

That day, Wayne did nothing else.

He repeatedly listened to and watched the messages from his wife and kids, neglecting to eat.

Penn had instructed the caregivers not to disturb him.
