The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2595

In the end, all he could do was gently rub her back, letting her have a good cry.

Maybe he had been neglecting Victoria lately. Sure, she was a straight-A student who didn’t need him to worry, but he had been lavishing too much attention on Mara.

He always felt Mara needed more support because she wasn’t as strong. He forgot, never considering the immense pressure his eldest was under.

In such a competitive school, standing out was even harder, but Victoria had always done so well.

After crying it out in her father’s arms, Victoria finally felt a bit better.

Pulling away and wiping her tears, she managed a weak smile. “Dad, don’t worry, okay? I just felt a bit overwhelmed for a moment, but crying has helped a lot. I’ll sleep it off tonight, and tomorrow I’ll be back in the game!

Seeing Victoria’s distress and her efforts to reassure him tugged at Elton’s heartstrings.
