Jasper was still wading through a swamp of guilt as he continued, "I've been treating you like a stand-in for my daughter, and I crossed a line. I hope you're not upset. I'm just an old man with selfish desires; I don't want to lose contact with you."

Vivienne snapped back to reality and offered a gentle smile. "It's okay. If you like, I'd be happy to call you 'Grandpa.""

Hearing Vivienne's words, Jasper was overwhelmed with emotion, tears tracing the lines of his weathered face.

She offered to call him 'Grandpa.' How could he not be moved?

Jasper patted Vivienne's hand, struggling for words before finally managing, "Yes, yes, that would be wonderful." With each affirmation, Vivienne felt her own eyes mist over.

Every time she met Jasper, she experienced a peculiar sensation.

It was an instinctual pull to be close to him.

Not a duty, not an obligation, but an innate desire for closeness.

When she received the paternity test results, her emotions were anything but calm.

She was elated.

Happy for herself and for her mother.

If her mother was indeed Sasha, then whatever her fake family had done, it did not matter to her anymore.

In this world, there were true family members who cherished her, protected her, and loved her.

Vivienne and Jasper talked for hours, the air filled with laughter and warm conversation.

After dinner, Vivienne left the Perez Mansion.

She did not call Percival to pick her up; instead, she strolled down the road, her cool face set in solemn contemplation.
