Chapter 2057

Darryl took a deep breath and looked at his son. “Ambrose, the battle is over. Don’t be stubborn; stay here with

Eira, please?”

Before the war had ended, Darryl had channeled all his energy to deal with the North Moana Army; he had no time

to worry about his two children. After they had defeated their opponent and the situation was stabilized, he would

not let his son and daughter leave with Yang Jian.

“Darryl!”

Ambrose glared at Darryl coldly. “You don’t have to waste your time talking to me. I won’t stay, not today. Also,

wherever I go in the future has nothing to do with you, got it?”

Ambrose said in an unwavering tone.

Uh…

Darryl was embarrassed, and at the same time, he was anxious.

‘Why is this kid so defiant?’

“Brother—”

Eira went over and took Ambrose’s arm in her hand as she said softly, “Let’s stay with Dad. He has apologized to

you more than once. Even if he had done something wrong before this, let bygones be bygones. Can’t you forgive

him?”

Ambrose looked sullen. His eyes flickered irritably, but he did not reply to her.

Eira bit her lips and continued to persuade Ambrose. “We have been fighting with him all this time; can’t you see

that he cares for the wellbeing of the world. He is not from the South Cloud World, yet he is here to help them to

stop the war. Aren’t you happy to have a father like him?”

“Cares for the wellbeing of the world?”

Ambrose felt as if someone had rubbed salt on his wound that he had buried deep in his heart. He was agitated; he

sneered, “Yes, he is ambitious and broad-minded. He has to take care of so many people in the world, but what

about my mother? What is my mother to him? She gave up her beautiful youth and waited for him for years. What

did she get in return? His ignorance for more than ten years!

“He protected these strangers, but he could not even be bothered to protect his own woman!

“Even though I grew up in the palace and my father protected me, I was not called a prince. Instead, everyone

called me a b*astard growing up! Once, they even framed my mother and paraded her on the street. It rained

heavily that day, and they tied my hands and dragged me behind the carriage. I felt so cold and so scared; I

thought my mother and I were dying.

“Darryl, when my mother and I needed you the most, you were not with us. Now I have the ability to protect her,

yet you are here to tell me that you are my father? Pfft!

“Tell me, are you worthy to be called my father? Are you worthy of the title?”

Ambrose got more irritable as he spoke. His body trembled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was practically yelling

the last sentence.

‘Are you worthy?’

Those words hit Darryl’s heart fiercely like an invisible sledgehammer.

Darryl’s eyes immediately reddened when he heard Ambrose. He was in distress.

“I’m sorry, Ambrose!” Darryl’s tears streamed down his cheeks; he could not take his eyes off Ambrose. Then, he

said bitterly, “I’m sorry. You and your mother have suffered all these years…”

Darryl finally understood why his son hated himself so much.

It turned out that even though Ambrose grew up in the palace with enough clothes and food, he had suffered a

great deal of mental damage.

Darryl felt guilty and heartbroken.

There was a moment of silence inside and outside the entire Royal City.

Eira looked at Ambrose with a blank expression; she was at a loss for words. She thought Ambrose was pitiful.

‘It turns out that my brother had suffered so much when he was a child…’

When Eira and Aurora left the Emei Sect and started to wander the world, they had no place to stay permanently.

However, Aurora was powerful. Eira had never been bullied by other people when she was under Aurora’s

protection.

When she realized his irritation, Eira finally understood that her brother and she had grown up in very different

environments. He had developed a hatred for their father because of the mishaps that he had gone through. The

deep-rooted issues were not something they could resolve in a short period.
