Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations-Chapter 977: David Dalton Talks About the Past

"..." David Garcia’s eyes welled up with tears, silver strands mixed with his black hair, as the bitterness and excitement simultaneously spread in his heart.

Justin Kingston silently gazed at him, understanding the thoughts running through his mind at this moment.

"But, President Dalton, I’m quite curious," Justin Kingston softly opened up the conversation, "How is it that you have another daughter?"

With his gaze resting on the coffee table, his voice resonated lowly, "From the value of this half Jade Pendant, it seems you really cherish her, don’t you?"

David Garcia gripped the heavy paternity test, his tearful eyes fixated on the final result; he was stunned! All he felt was a ringing in his ears.

Scenes from yesterday when he met her at the Kingston Group flashed in his mind.

At that time, there was always an indescribable sense of familiarity.

So... she was his long-lost daughter?

Seeing his overwhelming emotions hadn’t subsided, Justin Kingston remained silent for a while longer.

Two minutes later, Justin Kingston sincerely spoke up—

"I’m sorry, President Dalton, I was just eager for my wife, wanting to help her find family, because only then is a life complete."

David Garcia slowly regained his composure, filled with gratitude towards him.

"When I suspected you were her father, I had someone steal your toothbrush to find conclusive evidence."

"Sorry, it was quite disrespectful of me."

David Garcia put down the paternity test, ripples rising in his heart.

He looked up at him, "CEO Kingston, I must also apologize; that day here, I intentionally revealed the Jade Pendant."

David Garcia said, "My people found out that you had been investigating the whereabouts of another Jade Pendant, so..."

Justin Kingston’s smile was gentle and pleasant, he didn’t mind the matter.

"President Dalton," Justin Kingston patiently looked at him, "I’d like to hear the story, would you be willing to share?"

David Garcia took a deep breath, brewing his emotions, and opened up honestly, "My current wife is a second marriage, Stella is the daughter I had with my first wife."

"Yes, my daughter’s name is Stella, Stella Dalton." As he mentioned this name, a gratified smile hung on his face, recalling his daughter’s adorable and innocent demeanor from when she was little, "We loved her dearly, considered her the apple of our eye, and didn’t plan to have a second child."

How wonderful!

Justin Kingston picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, his heart aching, listening patiently, feeling a sting in his chest from time to time.

Because he knew, all this beauty soon shattered.

"When Stella was three years old, her mother fell seriously ill and couldn’t make it through..." David Garcia recalled this event, pain gripping his heart.

Indeed, it opened a still healing wound, "During that time, I felt as if the sky had collapsed." His voice trembled gently, choking up, "We were each other’s first love, together since we were sixteen, promising a lifetime hand in hand, yet her life was cut so short."

Upon hearing this, Justin Kingston felt lamentation and emotion.

"After a year, I tried to regain my strength, thinking that with a daughter to raise, love could continue, thus I showed even more love to Stella, spending a lot of time with her every day."

"But Stella was still a child, and a father’s love couldn’t replace a mother’s love."

"My current wife, Joan Graham met Stella first; they bonded well, as Joan looked very much like Stella’s mother. Joan had just gone through a divorce then, and later... through Stella’s matchmaking, we came together."

"Not saying there’s much love in it, but simply because with a woman at home to care for Stella, while I could provide the financial backing to raise a daughter, it was essentially a resource exchange."

"Sean Dalton?" Justin Kingston inquired.

"Yes." David Garcia nodded, "Grace isn’t my daughter; she came over with Joan Graham through marriage, she’s three years older than Stella."

"Then why... did you lose touch with your daughter for so many years?" Now, Justin Kingston was most concerned about this, "Who was involved in her leaving home?"
