Chapter 640: Chapter 619: Who is my mother, after all?

"As for why your mother went through three men and finally left you with me, I think it’s because I respected her more than any other man who claimed to love her!"

At least, he simply wanted to take care of her and had no ulterior motives!

So she left her daughter with him!

Sienna Harrison just listened to the words one by one from Caleb Harrison’s mouth, her whole being shocked and somewhat dazed. Just by hearing this, she seemed to already feel what her mother had gone through in her lifetime!

"Dad, what kind of person was my mother?

Faintly feeling that she was no ordinary person, Sienna’s body softened a little. She wanted to know what her mother had experienced, but she was also afraid to find out how unfortunate her mother’s life had been.

At that moment of fear, her body trembled slightly, and soon, as she had expected, she was enveloped in a warm embrace, with the warmth of the man enfolding her.

Jaysen Smith held the woman deeply in his arms, wrapped her up in his cloak, but didn’t say a word, just silently listening to Caleb Harrison’s unfinished words.

"Your mother was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Orchid Kingdom. If it weren’t for the political turmoil in the kingdom back then, she would have been able to live her life as a well-off lady. But unfortunately, there was a war in the Orchid Kingdom, and Princess Ruby Ross’s uncle usurped the throne, killing his own brother to become king. As a result, your mother’s father also died in that upheaval, and your mother and Princess Ruby Ross were the only ones who escaped with their lives. When I met her in Andras City, she was already tied to your uncle, Julie Harrison’s father. Jaysen, after so much investigation, you must know the rest of the story, right?"

"Yes."

When the answer was revealed, Sienna just stared at Caleb, unable to say a word. In her mind were the repeated words of Amanda Foster that day. She was already so shocked and upset at that time, knowing that her mother had gone through such a bumpy journey and even failed in her attempt to die. That must have been a great deal of pain.

Although the pain had already passed, hearing this from Caleb’s mouth still gave Sienna a piercing sting.

"So Sienna, even if you are not my daughter, the blood flowing through your veins is noble enough to match Jaysen. You don’t have to worry about that!"

Sienna never cared about whether her blood was noble or not, but as a father, he had to tell his daughter on the eve of her wedding that she could hold her head high and marry.

"Dad, whether the blood in my body is noble or not is not important. What matters is that Jaysen still loves me the same. Thank you, dad, for being willing to tell me all this today!"

After all, Caleb had no son. It took courage for him to speak up at this time. "Sienna, I will never disappoint dad!"

Sienna did not ask about her biological father’s matter. Since her mother asked Caleb to keep it a secret, she must have wanted them to maintain their current situation. It seemed that her mother was always guilty towards Caleb in her lifetime, so she left Sienna with him.

"Yes, dad has never been disappointed in you!"

Since he pushed her to go on endless blind dates, he knew that she was never disappointed. He knew how much she hated it, and yet she was still doing it because he requested it. So he knew that even though she appeared rebellious and outspoken, she was filial in her core.

"Besides, about Theo Scott, I admit that I was wrong, and it was because I pressured him that he proposed to break up with you!"

This was the only thing Caleb had done that could be considered as letting Sienna down, so after seeing her heartbroken after the breakup, he pushed her to go on one blind date after another. "At that time, I just wanted to test if he was truly sincere towards you, so I spoke too harshly, and I didn’t expect him..."

He couldn’t withstand the test. He had said the same thing to Jaysen today, but the outcome was completely different.

"But Sienna, I did it for your own good, so don’t blame dad!"

"I don’t blame dad; I never blamed dad for this. If a man can be pressured by dad’s words to break up with me, he would eventually leave me because of someone else’s words!"

Although Theo dumped her and she was very sad at the time, she had also thought that her father had a hand in it. Otherwise, Theo wouldn’t suddenly know her identity. But she never blamed her father for this because it was the instinct of a parent, and she had expected such things to happen.

Moreover, if a man truly loved her, he wouldn’t let go so easily, just like Jaysen!

"Speaking of which, I should be grateful to dad. If it weren’t for him, I would have missed out on such a great man like Jaysen!"

Compared to Theo, Jaysen was more deserving of her trust for a lifetime. She didn’t know what had got into her brain back then; maybe it was just overflowing sympathy because Theo was the only good-looking man among them without a girlfriend.

Upon hearing this, Caleb just nodded, agreeing with her words. It was best that his daughter could think it through!

"Seeing how heartbroken you were during that time, dad was worried, so I had no choice but to push you to go on more blind dates and hope that you would meet someone who could withstand the test and truly love you!"

Although Caleb constantly forced her to go on blind dates, using the Harrison family’s only daughter as the reason for her responsibility to continue the family line, he had never intended to let her marry a man she didn’t like.

Now that Sienna thought about it, she suddenly understood her father’s painstaking efforts. He had only pushed her to go on blind dates but never forced her to marry a man she didn’t like.

"It’s a good thing you have Jaysen now. Live a good life, and dad can finally let go!" After a pause, Caleb pushed the document that the old butler had just handed him gently towards Sienna, indicating for her to continue.

"What is this?"

Sienna didn’t take it, but just looked up at Caleb. Her intuition told her that this was no ordinary item.

"This is the dowry dad prepared for you. If you still think of me as your father, then accept it. My daughter Sienna Harrison can’t go without a decent dowry when she gets married!"

It seemed Caleb had anticipated Sienna’s refusal, so he made the matter final by saying, "The Smith family has given tens of billions as a betrothal gift. If the Harrison family doesn’t come up with a decent dowry, would it not be said that I, Caleb Harrison, sold my daughter?"

This sentence was one that Sienna had just said herself, effectively blocking her from refusing. If she refused now, it would confirm her words. Jaysen frowned slightly, but he already knew that his father-in-law must have prepared a dowry worth more than tens of billions.
