The Dad He Didn't Have To Be の小説・ストーリー

I was tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I wrapped my arms tighter around myself and let out a sigh. “I’m calling your father, Jayden. Whatever’s going on with you… I can’t be a part of it. Not anymore.” That seemed to blow his rage sky high but his feet remained planted to the ground. “I’m not a fucking child!” His voice cracked at the end. “I don’t need you calling him. I can do whatever the hell I want.” Marcus raised a brow with a cool tone. “Does that include harassing people?”

All the things I had just packed were opened up and flung carelessly on the floor. "Justine! What right do you have to ask for a divorce from my son? You're just a rural girl from the countryside! If it weren't for Cameron liking you, could you have lived such a good life for so many years? "We've had to provide for you for so many years, and now you want a divorce! If you want to divorce, you have to pay back all the money Cameron has spent on you over the years!" Betty screeched. Ronald Zucker, my father-in-law, piped up from the side, "You even aborted Cameron's child! That was the grandson we had been waiting for for three years! How could you be so heartless?"

Inilipat ni Elllie ang kanyang timbang sa kaliwa ng bench. Isang pulgada na lang. Oo, ngayon ay mahuhuli na niya ang lahat ng mga salita na sinasabi ng dalawang ina. “I swear to you, Susan, kung kaya ko, ako na mismo ang kukuha ng trabaho bilang yaya na iyon. Si Tyler Hernandez ang pinakaHOT na single dad sa buong paaralan. At saka, mayaman siya." Ang babaeng may pixie-cut at dreamy na mga mata ay parang hihimatayin pa ata.

I'd already made him something else entirely—and that was enough. "His company will help you," Dad said, pausing his game to look at me. "You haven't exactly had the best people around you, have you? Learn something from him. Teach him something in return. That's how it works. You need good people in your life, Sienna. Otherwise, you won't survive." That was Dad—always right. Even Grandpa couldn't argue with him when he stole Mom away at his own wedding. "Fine," I said with a sigh, looking out the window. "Do whatever you want."

He didn’t find it. “Before I say anything,” he said carefully, “you need to understand that what’s between Eli and me doesn’t take away what he feels for you.” Her stomach tightened, a cold, hollow thing opening up inside her chest. “So there is something.” He didn’t deny it. “Dad,” she whispered, the word cracking on its way out, “how could you?” Damian leaned forward, elbows on the table. “It didn’t start the way you think. It wasn’t planned. It was… gravity. Dangerous. Yes. But controlled.”

“And what about you, Miss Blake? How are you finding life back at home? Surely you spend your time with friends, yes?” Sierra smiled weakly, trying to summon the easy, innocent answers her mother would expect. “I… I spend time here, mostly. With family.” “And who keeps you company most?” the man asked, sipping his wine. The room waited. “Mostly with D……” Sierra froze. The word hung on her tongue, deadly. She caught herself, choking on air. “With… Dad and Mom.” The table chuckled at her stumble, unconcerned. Glasses clinked, conversation rolled on.

"Don't worry about it, Mom." But Mom refused to listen to me. "You can't do this, Evan! Your father was an honest man his entire life! We can't owe anyone money. Go down to the hospital and pay off the bill right away! This is the reason for everything that has been happening the last few days, isn't it?" Our friends and family also started urging me. "You shouldn't owe the hospital anything, Evan. Hurry up and pay off the bill. Your father won't be able to rest in peace otherwise."

The words slipped out before I could stop myself. “What? Why won't he want you in his house? Unless you did something.” he asked, his voice filled with surprise. Jeez, why do they think I was the one that did something? Couldn't they blame him too? 'Have you forgotten they have no idea what happened?' My inner voice said sarcastically “I didn't do anything, dad. I just don't want to impose on his privacy. All I am saying is you guys should have asked me first before making the arrangements.” My voice softened.

Dad is also here. Oh, shit.
