?Chapter 854:


    Seeing him bashful, like a smitten teenager, Marissa found him quite endearing. With a yful tone, she replied, “Absolutely! I’ll take photos of her from every angle and capture how beautiful she is. I know you must miss her a lot.”


    “Hey!” Paul yfully red at her and said, “You cheeky girl, you’ve always been so disrespectful. Even before you knew I was your dad, you were always teasing me recklessly. Now that you know I’m your father, how can you still keep it up?”


    Marissa chuckled and responded, “I’m so rxed around you because you’re my dad. No matter what I say, you wouldn’ty a hand on me, so I don’t have to hold anything back.”


    Paul chuckled softly and said, “You little rascal!”


    With a smile, Marissa said her farewells once more and boarded the private ne arranged for her return to Blebert.


    Without her Serene Rest Pills or Connor by her side, sleep eluded her. She spent the entire six-hour flight from Cher Snain to Blebert wide awake, not managing to shut her eyes even for a moment.

    By the time she arrived in Blebert, after going two full days and nights without sleep, she felt dizzy from the sheer exhaustion. As the nended, she suddenly realized she hadn’t specified anding spot to the pilot. She had absolutely no clue where they were now.


    Sitting up, she peered out the window and was astonished by the sight of an incredibly luxurious vi. On the tarmac, a group of bodyguards in ck uniforms awaited, led by a man who appeared to be a butler. As the ne stopped, the butler advanced promptly, apanied by the bodyguards.


    Marissa was just about to ask a flight attendant about their location when the ne door opened. Instead of asking, she chose to stand up and approach the door. Before she could even step down, the butler and the group of bodyguards bowed slightly and greeted her simultaneously, “Wee home, Miss Nash!”


    While Marissa was still trying to make sense of the situation, a familiar face came into view.


    Marissa couldn’t help but smile when she saw Kevin. It turned out her father had sent her to her brother’s ce. Kevin had once promised her he would buy a house in Blebert to settle down. She guessed the manor must be his new home in town.


    Dressed in a ck casual suit, Kevin stood upright among the group of bodyguards. His handsome face and tall, sturdy figure made him stand out like an emperor among his guards.


    Seeing her smile, he beamed back and stretched out one of his arms.


    What he just did brought back some memories for Marissa. When they were little, before Kevin went out looking for food, to keep her safe, he would hide her in a tree with thick branches and leaves.


    Upon his return, he would stand beneath the tree and stretch out one of his arms. Withplete trust, Marissa would leap into his embrace.


    Kevin had always been strong, even as a child. He could catch her effortlessly with one arm, and in moments of joy, he would lift her high and spin around.


    Now they were both grown, but his love and care for her remained as strong as when they were little. Marissa’s trust in him was just as profound.


    When he extended his arm, she jumped from the ne with a smile. Just like in the old days, Kevin caught her by the waist and spun her around. She could tell he was overjoyed.


    After setting her down, Kevin spoke with a smile. “Mr. Alvarado has filled me in. You finally found your father. I’m so happy for you, Marissa.”
