Chapter 6

Author: Bunny Sip
I ended up calling the school again and spoke to Tammy and Daryl's homeroom teacher, Lily Morton, to find out what had happened.

I rushed over to the school in the afternoon and went into the teacher's office. Lily naturally assumed that I was there for Tammy. After all, I was the one who usually settled her affairs and also attended the parent-teacher meetings on Tammy's behalf in the past.

Meanwhile, I had only spoken to Lily on the phone regarding Daryl's transfer to the school without ever

  • Dumped Dad Turns the Tables   Chapter 10

    When Devin told Stacy his sob story, she immediately felt sorry for him and gave him a job and even gave him a sizable amount of money.I had always known about those payments in the past, but I simply chose to ignore them.After a while, Devin got more ambitious and said that he wanted to rebuild his family empire, so he managed to convince Stacy to invest in his company.Stacy was more than willing to help him out with everything. However, she eventually realized that something was amiss. All of the money she invested in the company seemed to have disappeared, and yet, Devin was still demanding more.Alas, he couldn't keep up his good, fatherly image anymore either, and even though Stacy was a lovestruck fool, she was not stupid. She began having her own suspicions too.She had probably finally woken up and connected all the dots after hearing everything that Ryan told me.A short while later, I heard news about her breaking off ties with Devin. She even brought him to court ov

    Ryan continued, "Then, you came into Stacy's life. I know that you love her very much, and also that you endured quite a lot of hardships in your marriage. It's partially my fault too. I just thought of giving you both space instead of regularly checking in on you."But Allen, you're the only person who's most suitable for Stacy. You're family. Don't ruin your own family just because of an outsider."I was shocked to hear the full story.Ryan sounded like he was taking my side and giving me some good advice. However, it was all in Stacy's favor, after all.He should have told her everything a long time ago."Ryan, it would have been more helpful if only you'd told Stacy about this sooner.""I had been meaning to tell her, but now that things had turned out like this, I know that she's not the one calling the shots anymore. You're the one who's already made up his mind to leave her, aren't you?"I remained silent.Ryan had known all along that I had been suffering in this marria

    Tammy's face turned even more pale as she stared at me, unable to say another word.I thought that she would storm out of the door after arguing with me like this. However, to my surprise, she still stuck around for the rest of dinner.The meatloaf Dad made still tasted the same as the last time. But now, Tammy ate every last crumb of it and even purposely showed me her empty plate afterward.However, nothing she did now was going to stir up my emotions again.After dinner, Mom and Dad lit up the candles on her birthday cake and began singing her the birthday song.I purposely ignored the hopeful look she threw in my direction and remained seated on the couch as I dealt with work email on my phone.Tammy looked away disappointedly and made a hurried wish before slicing up a piece of cake and bringing it over to me.I didn't even lift my head."Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not eating it."She insisted on giving it to me. "But this is my birthday cake!"I finally looked up and sp

    "Thank you, Dad!" Daryl exclaimed.It was just a simple offer to bring him to the science center. In the past, I used to bring Tammy to many places, such as the science center, the museum, the zoo, and others, and yet, she never once thanked me for it.On the contrary, she often complained about how tired she was and how boring the experiences were for her.As expected, I really shouldn't have compared Daryl to Tammy.I had actually been reflecting on myself over the past few days, wondering if I had failed to properly teach my daughter how to behave. In the end, I concluded that I had simply spoiled her too much with my love.I kept thinking about her and being considerate about her, taking everything about her as seriously as I could and loving her more than anything else in the world.In the end, my love for her was used against me like a double-edged sword instead.…After the divorce, I began focusing on regrowing my career once more, planning to found a company.I slowly

Lily naturally assumed that I was there for Tammy. After all, I was the one who usually settled her affairs and also attended the parent-teacher meetings on Tammy's behalf in the past.Meanwhile, I had only spoken to Lily on the phone regarding Daryl's transfer to the school without ever making a physical appearance.Both Daryl and Tammy were called into the office. There were scratches and claw marks on each other's faces and arms. It certainly looked like they'd been in a horrible fight.When they saw me, they both called me "Dad" and "Daddy" at the same time.It was just that Daryl's voice was a lot softer than Tammy's, which completely overpowered him. I could only see his lips moving.An instant later, he quickly drew his lips into a thin line and hung his head, lookin

  • Dumped Dad Turns the Tables   Chapter 5

    The more I learned about the boy, the more I realized that I liked him and felt pity for him.He told me that his name was Daryl Hatfield. He was smart for his age, but he was humble about it. He was also well aware of his situation, and he was very grateful for every bit of kindness shown to him.I asked, "Don't you think that it feels like other people are just making you a charity cause because they pitied your plight? Doesn't it hurt your pride at all?"Daryl widened his eyes and answered in bewilderment."Why would I ever think that? That's just the kindness that the people are showing me, and I should feel warmed and touched by it. Why would I even get hurt?"However, I knew that Tammy would think that if it were up to her.Daryl had excellent grades.

Although he barely saw them because the
