The Love that Never Really Dies

He could no longer suppress his wrath when he found out Sasha’s new job was the reason she was absent over the past two days.

Vivian couldn’t read the mood and failed to notice that her father on the other end of the call was enraged. She announced with her chest held high, “Yes! She’s currently working while I’m trying to finish my homework at home!”

Sebastian was dumbfounded and thought of something else that would require his attention. He asked, “A-Are you currently home alone?”

“Yes!”

He got increasingly frustrated when he thought something bad might happen to the little girl.

Gritting his teeth, he asked in a final attempt to ensure he hadn’t been hearing things, “Has your mother left you home without others’ supervision and made her way out for work?”

Vivian was at a loss for words when she heard her father raising his volume against her.

Sebastian couldn’t take it anymore. He urged, “I’ll be there in a short while! Just stay put until I’m there!”

He hung up the call, leaving the confused Vivian alone.
