Rufus' POV:
Leonard's face was downcast as he said in a helpless tone, "I think Alina probably won't accept it, but I couldn't care less. I can't delay this task anymore. Otherwise when the truth comes to light, Sylvia will hate me."
My eyes swept over his crumpled shirt and the stubble on his chin. He must have been suffering so much all night that he couldn't even care about his appearance.
I hadn't noticed any similarities between Leonard and Sylvia before. But now that I knew they were father and daughter, and I looked carefully at them again, I realized that their eyes were quite alike. They were the same dark green color with nearly the same shape, except Sylvia's were softer and brighter.
Leonard's eyes, on the other hand, were a little dark and sharp, perhaps because of his age.
I said with a sigh, "You don't need to worry so much. Initially, Sylvia had mistakenly thought Edwin to be her biological father. She was joyous and expectant for a long time. But when she discovered that he was unwilling to recognize her, she was depressed for a considerable period of time. She longs for a father. Besides, she is so close to you now. She already regards you as her elder." "Edwin, that bastard! He fooled us so well! If he had informed me earlier, I wouldn't have been so blind a moron that I didn't know my own daughter was in front of my eyes!" Leonard cursed angrily.
I raised my eyebrows, seeing the humor in his outburst. They were yet to acknowledge each other, but he was already protecting and defending his daughter.
"After this matter is resolved, I'm going to make Edwin pay," Leonard complained, his spirits improving after venting his anger.
After comforting him for a while, I continued, "I think it's wise to carefully consider this issue. You must see that even though Sylvia doesn't know you are her biological father, she still respects and cares about you. If you are not ready to do this yet, don't destroy the relationship you already have with her."
