Waiting For a Girl Like You - Chapter 1089 Selina Ran Away From Home
On the other end of the line, Selina cried loudly, as if she had been wronged.
“What happened?”
asked Adonis, who was going to take a shower when she called. He turned around and sat down on the chair in front of his desk.
Selina was sobbing uncontrollably, with a runny nose and flushed cheeks. She wanted to call Sally, but couldn’t get through, so she called him instead.
She was so sad that she had to talk to someone about it.
“Adonis, do you know that I am not my parents’ biological daughter?
And everyone knew about this except me!
It’s okay even if I’m not my mother’s biological daughter, why my father…
Why did this happen? I always felt like the happiest and luckiest child in the entire world! Only now am I finding out I am an orphan! I was adopted…”
Selina’s cries grew louder and louder.
She was heartbroken.
She had spent eleven years of her life thinking that Carla and Steven were her parents. The truth had blown up right in her face, leaving her shattered.
No one had ever given her a hint. It wasn’t until she heard the servants talking about her behind back that she found out the truth about her own identity.
How could a little girl of eleven who had never doubted her origin accept it?
She had heard such gossip before as well, but had never believed it. But today, she had decided to take it to her father.
Completely opposite of what she had expected, her daddy nodded his head with his eyes to the floor.
Hearing her crying like that, Adonis was at a loss for words. He rubbed his head, wondering how to console her. On one hand, he thought it was unusual that she still hadn’t found out until today.
Because of this, he felt sorry for her.
He was born in a healthy and harmonious family with boundless love from his parents. He understood the warmth and preciousness of a happy family. It was understandable that it would be difficult for Selina to accept that she was adopted.
“Selina, even if Uncle Steven is not your biological father, the love he gives you is no less than anybody else and far beyond kinship. You are very happy with your family, aren’t you?”
Adonis sighed and comforted her, “When you grow up, you will understand that it’s not only the family bond that matters. As long as he loves you like a father, it doesn’t matter whether he is your biological f
efore, Selina had come to ask him if she was adopted. He had intended to hide it from her but the child had grown up. He couldn’t lie to her anymore.
Besides, it wasn’t easy to deceive her.
Thinking about the inquiries she had made over the years, he thought it was better to tell her the truth straight up. Perhaps Selina wasn’t as fragile as he thought she was.
However, she was only eleven years old and her parents were her entire world.
Naturally, when she heard it straight from the man that she called father, she looked at him in shock.
He would never forget the sorrow that he saw in her eyes.
Her innocent eyes were filled with surprise, disappointment and helplessness. Without talking about it with him or asking any more questions, she turned around and ran away.
At that time, he had only watched her go back to her room. He’d thought she’d calm down and think about it. Maybe she could accept it after sleeping on it?
After a couple hours, when he went to check on her, he was shocked to discover that she wasn’t in room anymore!
He spent the whole night frantically looking for Selina.
“Yes, she called around twelve o’clock. She said she was very sad. I asked where she was, but she refused to tell me the exact location. She said she was at the harbor near Yu Village.”
With these words, Adonis got out of the bed and opened the door. He walked all the way to Sally’s room and knocked on the door.
“Okay, I know, Uncle Steven. I will contact you as soon as I get any news about her,”
he said. He then hung up and knocked on the door again.
