FreeNovelChapter 407 Chapter 407 Helper The voice she knew so well brought Melody back to the moment, pulling her thoughts to the day her father had sent her to the Shields' place.
Tyrell stood tall, his presence as commanding as ever. There was a sternness about him, a quiet authority that filled the room. His gaze, usually firm and steady, now held something else—an unfamiliar sadness, a depth of emotion she rarely saw. Tyrell had raised her himself.
In his presence, Melody had always acted a little spoiled, well aware that her father would move mountains to make her happy.
But she was no fool. She knew the truth. Tyrell hadn't wanted to send her away. He had his reasons, reasons he never spoke of, things he kept hidden.
And as his adopted daughter, she couldn't add to his burden. Not now, when he already had so much on his plate.

"But, Mel, you need to understand no matter where you are, no matter the distance, I'll always be the one who loves you the most." As her adoptive father, Tyrell knew he couldn't ask her to close her heart to the Shields or the people there. He couldn't selfishly ask her not to care for them.
He only wanted what was best for her-the love she deserved, the kind of love he couldn't give as a man. Melody had no mother.
The two boys he raised had grown up rough, but Melody was different. She deserved more, deserved the tenderness and care of a mother.
