The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 332

Donan paused for a moment. His silence made the air heavy

After a while, he began to speak using a slow and steady tone “Vivienne, on the way hem, I had a lot of

time to think I might not be your biological father, but I’ve always considered you my own daughter This

situation made me realize that with your mother gone, it’s my duty to protect you”

Vivienne didn’t respond. She waited for him to continue

Tve been too weak before, but I want to grow stronger Dorian glanced at Vivienne and Percival,

moistening his lips before he continued. “Your grandma has returned to the countryside and I don’t

have any immediate family left in Havenwood So, I’ve decided to move to Riverwood and start my own

business”

As he ended. Donan turned to Cordelia with an apologetic look on his face “Cordelia, I’m sorry for

making this decision without consulting you. You still have family in Havenwood and it isn’t far for me to

decide this on my own

Cordelia’s face showed signs of anger. Do you see me at some sort of irrational woman?

Dorian quickly retorted. “No, you’ve always been a wonderful wife and mother”

Then don’t talk about what’s fair or not! When I married you, I became your family. Whatever decisions

you make. Til support you take care of them I trust them”

des. my parents

After her outburst, Cordelia looked towards Vivienne “Although I don’t have any blood relation to

Vienne, she’s always been there to protect on She’s done so much for behind the scenes. Now it’s our

turn to protect her I agree with moving to Riverwood”

Thank you. Cordelia Donan looked truly touched

Vivienne watched them as a warm feeling flowed through her. After a moment, she spoke in the softest

voice she could imagine: “Mom Dad you for my sake As long as you’re happy, I’m happy”

Dorian and Cordelia were taken aback. Their eyes widened in disbelief Vivienne, what did you just call

us

Mom and Dad?

Had they misheard? Was this some sort of daydream?

Percival watched from the sidelines with a small smile playing on his lips.

These affectionate names wouldn’t have come easily to the young girl if she didn’t genuinely care for

them. But Donan and Cordelia deserved to be Vivienne They were more deserving than Scott ever was

“Mom Dad Vivienne spoke again. Im sorry for not calling you this sooner”

“It’s not too late” Dorian’s voice choked up as tears spilled from his eyes. “It’s not too late at alii*

Only he knew how long he’d waited for Vivienne to call him dad

But when Vivienne had decided to leave Havenwood, he’d thought she’d never change her mind. But

now, after hearing her call himn dad, he felt like Par

Cordelia was also teary–eyed “Yes, it’s not too late. It’s just right”

She wanted to say more, but her voice began to fail her leaving only tears of joy.

Donan suddenly burst out laughing “Who cares if you re Scott’s biological daughter? I got to hear you

call me dad first! it was all worth in

He grabbed Cordelias hand as he laughed “Cordelia should we go find those people and get kidnapped

again? | feel like I’m dreaming, i don’t want to

Vivienne Percival and Cordelia all stared at him, unsure of how to respond

After a moment of heartfelt emotion, Dorian made a decision “Now that Vivienne has called me dad. I’m

definitely going to stay in

He turned to Vivienne “The perfume formula your mother gave me, I was planning on never using it

again. But now I want to use it to to use the 10–million–dollar marnage gift your grandfather gave me to

start this business want to earn enough to support you

He spoke without any hesitation, causing Vivienne to smile. “Okay”

Suddenly she remembered something. “Did you just now decide to start a company?”

“Yes” Dorian replied. “On the way here, I was thinking about it. Alliance Enterprises is a good company

but i cant ovide any help company and stand on my own two feet want to be a strong pillar for my

family. When Astrid gets married, her in laws, wort
