Chapter 6 Alexander suddenly felt anxious . He didn't want to wait that long anymore . Right now , he wanted the whole world to know that Isabella was his wife and Kimberly was his daughter . That way , she could openly call him Dad from now on , instead of Uncle Alex . Kimberly would definitely be happy about that . She might even be so happy that she'd forgive him for what happened that day without needing a forgiveness coupon . Alexander excitedly called the person in charge of the company website and asked him to announce on the official site that he was already married with a daughter . However , the person on the other end said , " Mrs. Morrison is also a company employee after all . You should probably get her consent first . " Alexander thought he had a point and took out his phone to dial the number that had somehow become ingrained in his memory . But the other end was still unreachable . Alexander's expression darkened . During the first year of their marriage , he had gotten sick and called Isabella , but she didn't answer . As a result , he nearly passed out from a high fever at home . That incident really scared her . With tears in her eyes , she swore she would never miss any of his calls again . After that , her phone was truly on standby for him 24 hours a day . She never missed another call or message from him . But now , he had been unable to reach Isabella for almost 12 hours . Thinking of what Lucas had said about the plane crash , Alexander's heart suddenly skipped a beat . At this moment , he couldn't care less about celebrating his birthday . He moved around Charlotte to leave . However , Charlotte had been watching his subtle changes in expression . Noticing that he wanted to leave , she bit her lip , abandoning her usual pretense of being reserved . She reached out and grabbed him , pressing her soft chest tightly against his strong arm . With her face slightly flushed , she said in a low voice , " Alexander , can you stay tonight to keep Pearl and me company ? " Alexander's departing body stiffened . Then he firmly pushed Charlotte away . He looked at her and said , " I have Isabella . Show some respect . " A twisted expression flashed across Charlotte's face before she said , " Alexander , you misunderstood . It's Pearl . She really wants you to help her build a block castle . " Pearl appeared right on cue , gripping Alexander's shirt tightly . With pitiful eyes , she begged him , " Daddy Alexander , will you build blocks with me ? Don't leave . Without you , Mom and I will be very lonely . " However , Alexander , who usually had no resistance to Pearl's pitiful act , pushed her away without hesitation this time . Without a second thought , he turned around and headed home . Along the way , he walked faster and faster , eventually breaking into a run . Just now , watching Pearl be cute with him , his mind kept replaying the look in Kimberly's eyes when she'd turned back to look at him before leaving . They looked so empty and lifeless . It was as if she no longer cared about him at all . Pearl always acted cute with him and then made various demands of him . But Kimberly would never do that . She would always watch quietly , hoping that Alexander would look at her more and give her a little more attention . Just like ... Isabella Why did Charlotte and Pearl feel so entitled to make demands of him ? Because they knew he would definitely satisfy them . But what about Kimberly and ... Isabella ? 1/2 +25 BONUS They didn't make demands of him , not because they wanted nothing from him , but because they had been ignored too many times .

He was such a failure as a husband and a father . Chapter 6 m 2/2
