Chapter 369

Pattie, who was already emotionally scarred, was more sensitive than the average child and had a lack of security. What she feared most was abandonment.

Anastasia felt a pang in her heart, pulling Pattie into her arms. “No, darling. Mom will always love you. I won’t abandon you.”

Salma grumbled irritably, “That old woman! How could she say such a thing to a child?”

Angry as she was, Salma didn’t have the nerve to confront Cynthia, who was her own sister after all.

Herman held Pattie’s little hand, saying, “Now you have my surname. Your name is Paradise. You are my daughter. Remember that, nobody can change it. Hold your head high and have confidence in life, okay? You’re our pride.”

Pattie nodded, not fully understanding but gradually stopping her tears. “Daddy, I won’t cry anymore.” She was their daughter, their pride. She needed to be confident, not inferior.
