Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 407 – Can you just call me dad?

Jasmine’s eyes immediately darted toward Olivia, her entire face silently begging for help. Tears gathered in her eyes as fear wrapped tight around her heart.

She did not know what to do anymore. Every secret she had carried for years felt like it was crashing down on her all at once. Her lips trembled as she slowly opened her mouth, ready to explain everything.

Before a single word could leave her lips, Voren’s calm but commanding voice cut through the heavy silence. "Yes." His cold eyes swept across everyone gathered on the deck. "I think it’s time we all learned the truth."

His words settled over the group like a heavy weight. No one argued. This moment had been building for far too long.

Corvine immediately understood what Voren intended. Without wasting another second, he walked over to the human crew members still working around the yacht.

He politely thanked them for their hard work and asked them to stay on the lower deck until they were called back. Every member of the crew sensed the seriousness in his tone.

The cheerful atmosphere from earlier had completely vanished. The music had stopped, the laughter was gone. Only silence remained.

Just then, Madison walked over with a warm smile and reached toward Esperanza. "I’ll take her."

Before she could lift the little girl, Seraphine gently stopped her. She gave Madison a soft smile. "No, Mom."

The single word froze Madison where she stood. Her eyes widened. For a second she was not sure she had heard correctly. Mom. Seraphine had called her Mom instead of nanny.

Emotion instantly filled Madison’s eyes. She had waited so long to hear that word.
