Still, he wanted confirmation. Looking at Thessy seriously, he asked,
"What if one day you discovered that you really were related to that daughter?"
At that moment, Thessy already believed that the entire Peterson family knew the truth.
She lowered her eyes and sighed softly. "I would be very sad."
A trace of genuine sorrow appeared in her voice.
"After all, that would mean our family had been separated for so many years. However, I would still accept the real daughter."
With those words, Thessy gave a weak smile. The smile looked fragile, as though the mere thought of such a situation pained her deeply.
Just as Philip was about to reveal the truth, he froze.
Looking at her face, seeing the sadness hidden behind her expression, the words lodged themselves in his throat. In the end, he could only nod. "Yeah."
After the meeting ended, Thessy returned home.
The moment the door closed behind her, the gentle expression vanished from her face.
