Richard's POV
Anything to get rid of this inner turmoil is what I intend to do. Something like drowning myself in alcohol and thinking about how pathetic my life has become.
Not only am I divorced, but I am also someone whom Arabel is ashamed to refer to as the father of her child.
That is what I feel she is doing.
Why the pretense? Why does she keep doing this? Even to our friends? I'm sure Ashley is mad at her, and I hope she forgives her.
Caleb, on the other hand, understands me. When Caleb started questioning me about her, I was tempted to reveal everything to him. I was tempted to say that she was my ex-wife, and I loved and still love her.
The fact that I had to pretend not to be Daisy's father was more irksome. I couldn't even answer the poor girl when she called me Daddy.
When did Arabel become this cruel? Is there more to this? Is it just the shame of calling me her daughter's father?
After laying Daisy to sleep in my room, I step down, moving to the bar to grab a drink. Flop
