True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1217

Zachary replied faintly, "Of course I won't take it to heart! I believe that you have been greatly troubled by Yvonne staying with you all these years at the Attwood family."

"She's my own daughter. Why would I be troubled?" Benjamin was a bit proud of himself, even putting on airs to show that he was a great dad.

Zachary glanced at him and added, "Of course, it's Mr. Attwood's responsibility. It's your duty as her father to raise her properly."

Benjamin pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything. Perhaps he was at a loss for words.

Zachary continued, "Her grandma has been raising her for so many years. Thus, I have no right to complain about her."

"However, Yvonne's grandma was not pleased with her returning home. Perhaps she has aged, so we do not wish to make her mad. Hence, I think it is best for Mr. Attwood to take up the responsibility to look after Madam Elaine and not let her feel lonely." "It's easy for the elderly to feel abandoned, which may lead to her having a bad temper. I'm sure that this will be a greater burden to you, Mr. Attwood."

"In order to avoid increasing your burden and upsetting Yvonne's grandma, Yvonne will be returning home less frequently."

"This... How is this possible?" Benjamin became anxious when he heard this and tried to argue, "Yvonne is my daughter. How can my daughter not go back to her own home after getting married?"

Zachary looked at Benjamin, who had just questioned him as though he was the one who made Yvonne sad.

Zachary smirked and just replied calmly, "Go back to her home? Does she have a mother at home?"

Benjamin was dumbfounded for a moment, and an embarrassed expression flashed across his face.

"Where is her home?" Zachary was still smirking. He still seemed so indifferent and calm, but his smile was not a genuine smile.

Benjamin's expression became even stiffer. He stared at Zachary, and an array of emotions flashed across his gaze. He pursed his lips and said after a long while, "Zachary, are you joking with me?"

"Am I? Mr. Attwood, do you think I'm joking?" Zachary still had a smile on his face, but his gaze seemed colder and more livid.

"Yeah, you must be joking. I've divorced Yvonne's mother for so many years. Her mother is irresponsible and did not carry out her duty as a mother, but my current wife is a good mother," Benjamin said shamelessly.

Around the corner, Yvonne was eavesdropping on their conversation. She was so mad that she trembled violently.

Her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails had dug into her palm. Yet, she felt nothing.

She was really so speechless with this father of hers.

How could he be so shameless?

At the same time, this man was her biological father. She felt so ashamed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She really wanted to rush in and ask Benjamin to get out.

However, she remained level-headed.

She could see that Zachary was handling the situation well. In fact, he was in charge of the whole conversation.

Therefore, she suppressed the anger in her heart and did not rush in impulsively.

"A good mother?" Zachary scoffed and asked, "Let me ask you this, Mr. Attwood, is the child you mentioned really Yvonne? Your current wife is a good mother, but to whom?"
