Chapter 124: Anger
Kenny
"What the fuck?!" I bellowed, staring at my mother while being unable to believe my ears right now.
What the effing fuck?
"You mean he was here? Why did you let him in?" I demanded, pushing off the couch and starting to pace around the sitting room. My mother’s lips were in a thin line as she stared down at the knitting machine over her laps. Her blonde hair fell over her forehead in a cute bang, she was the one I looked like between herself and my father.
"Kenny, you know I couldn’t..." she began but I shook my head as I dragged my hand over my face.
"But you could, mum. You were never supposed to entertain that asshole much less let him in here. How dare he show up after almost ten years?! Who the heck does that?" I continued. I was feeling extremely angry right now, and despite how much I tried calling myself down because I hated angry emotions the most, it didn’t seem to be working in any way.
I got here about an hour ago because my mother kept nagging me to come by, saying she missed me so much and don’t get to see me that much again. After I arrived, we lazed around talking and talking. I even prepared a light meal in her kitchen for the two of us, and also promised to bring the kids over to her this weekend. My mother didn’t have much friends, and since I was her only living child, she didn’t have a lot of people to fuss over. Which is the exact reason why she always loved it whenever the kids spent time with her.
It had been a complete shock to me when she revealed to me that Anna’s father had reached out to her two days ago, asking for an opportunity to meet with Anna.
After my elder sister died, her husband abandoned their little kid. I was literally still a college student when I began to raise Anna myself. My mother could have happily done that but back then she was still working about five jobs at a time. And throughout that period, Anna’s father never reached out. He never called to ask how she’s fairing or how I was coping with his child. So why the hell was he reaching out now?
