Chapter 982 What Would Come, Would Come

In Wang Village

Andrea held Sally's hand as they walked along the corridors of the Phoenix Palace.

Walking through those familiar halls brought many childhood memories. Her mind drifted to the times she had spent here when she was a very young. It was nostalgic.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

Sally asked, tugging Andrea's arms as she lifted her head to look at her.

Andrea sniffed loudly and bent down to look at Sally, her eyes brimming with tears. "This used to be my home. I have come back to this place after a long time, so I'm a bit emotional.''

"Don't be sad, Grandma. We are back now. You should be happy.''

Sally winked at Andrea and stopped when she saw an old man walking towards them.

Andrea also stopped. Her eyes widened with shock and her heart began to beat frantically.

She froze on the spot when she saw Arthur staring at her.

Arthur was swept by a wave of emotions. He was overwhelmed to finally meet his daughter and his eyes welled up with tears.

He stood there staring at her with his mouth open. Andrea was a young lady when she left, but she had become an old woman now. She had strings of gray hair and there were wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. Arthur was fascinated to see the woman standing in front of him.

No matter how old Andrea was, she would always be his little princess.

"Andrea..." Arthur's voice was quivering with emotion.

"Andrea, Andrea..."

He remembered the times he had woken up in the middle of the night, shouting her name, over and over again. He was ready to do anything to see her again.

But it had taken all these years to finally meet her.

The tears that welled up in Andrea's eyes, tumbled down when she heard her father calling her name. His voice had stirred all the emotions that she had buried deep in her heart. She knelt down and continued to sob uncontrollably.

"Father, I… I'm home."

Arthur stepped forward and cupped Andrea's cheeks. He had spent every single day of his life, waiting to hear these words. "It's so good to see you again. I'm happy to have you back.

My prayers have final

ret my decision."

Andrea tried to defend herself when she saw that Eleanor had lost her temper again.

"I don't regret my decision because good or bad, I'm solely responsible for the outcomes of my decision.

I don't blame you for any of it. If you had forced and restrained me, I would have despised you.

I would have hated you for not letting me pursue my happiness. I would have blamed you for shackling my life with your power. But now, I only have unconditional love and respect for you and Dad.''

Eleanor's anger faded away as Andrea's words touched her heart.

"When you say that you don't regret your decisions, why don't you leave with your daughter right away?"

Eleanor arched an eyebrow as she took a sip of tea.

"I have come back because you wanted me to, ''

Andrea finally lifted her head to look at Eleanor.

"What do you mean? When did I ask you to come back?" Eleanor asked.

Andrea took a moment to compose herself. "Mom, I know you very well. Although Yu Sea City practices monarchy and the oldest child becomes the successor of the throne, you still would have had the option of choosing a successor. But after all these years, you still haven't picked one.

I know that's because you want Callie to become the successor of the throne if you think she is qualified. Am I right, Mom?''

Eleanor's eyes widened as she was dumbfounded by Andrea's words.
