The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 610

Not far off, Willa sat pensively atop a stone wall, her eyes fixed on the joyous scene unfurling in the Perez family's backyard. The guilt that had clung to her heart was finally dissolving, bit by bit. Watching Jasper's face brighten with laughter, a smile unwittingly crept across Willa's lips.

Just like Diana, Willa had always known she was adopted.

As a child, she had longed to call Jasper "Dad" just like Diana did, but for some reason, the words never came easily.

But deep down, she was certain there was only one man in her heart who could ever take the place of a father, and that was Jasper Perez.

It was not until she unraveled the mystery of her past that she understood the source of her discomfort.

Willa had resolved then and there to bring Sasha back home, to gift Jasper with one genuine, wholehearted laugh.

Now, at last, that wish had come to fruition.

Gradually, Willa's gaze shifted to Maddox. She watched him clutch his head in a comical display of distress and couldn't help but chuckle.

That guy, no matter what life threw at him, never changed!

Willa lingered on the wall for a while longer before slowly getting up, ready to leave.

Suddenly, she caught Karen's meaningful glance from afar. Despite the distance, she knew Karen was looking straight at her.

With a resigned shake of her head, Willa realized Sasha had caught on.

She pulled out her phone and shot Karen a text, [I'll be home waiting. Spend some quality time with Jasper.]

Jasper had a long talk with Karen, eager to catch up on all the years gone by. Karen summarized the events, omitting her time with her foster family and simply mentioning that her foster parents had passed away, leaving out the rest.

Towards the end of their conversation, Jasper glanced over at Vivienne playing with Natalia and Yasmine and asked, "Sasha, who exactly is Vivienne's father?"
