Jordan patted Victoria's back to comfort her as he said gently, "Ms. Clarke, are you in shock? Why are you calling me Daddy? Everything's fine now. The matter with Salvatore has already been resolved. Just pretend that nothing happened today, okay?"
Victoria cried even harder and hugged Jordan even tighter.
"Daddy, I knew you didn't leave. You're still protecting me. Sobs… Daddy, do you know how much I've missed you all these years? Do you know how Emily and I lived without you? Why are you so heartless as to abandon us for so long? And even now, you still refuse to acknowledge me?
"I can't endure it anymore. I don't want to pretend anymore. From the moment you kissed me last night, I knew that you were my father. You are the man who loves me the most in this life!"
Victoria was sobbing heavily.
Jordan realized that something was wrong.
