Chapter 244: A One Woman Man
Sticking out my tongue, I hated that I didn’t have a smart-ass response ready for Beau. "I get that," I sneered instead. Pouting, I pulled out another lollypop from my space before unwrapping it and sticking it in my mouth. "But..."
"But it’s different," nodded Dante. "Pride showed me a memory of you killing your father."
"That man has never been my father," I snarled, sitting upright as I turned on Dante. "And if you ever say that again, I will rip out your tongue just to see if you can regrow a new one."
Dante looked at me, his eyes wide as I threatened him, but I couldn’t help myself. That was why I never called him father. He was Père more often than not, Daddy when he forced me to call him that, and stepfather to everyone else. But I would never call that scum my father.
Even calling Chang Xuefeng Daddy was to take back that word, to make it something that means something to me instead of something from a nightmare. Chang Xuefeng was my Daddy because that was MY choice...
But I would never have a father. NEVER.
"I’m sorry," murmured Dante, holding up his hands in surrender. "I will never say that word again."
Swallowing whatever words were threatening to come out, I stiffly nodded my head.
"As I was saying," continued Dante, his arms slowly lowering as he kept an eye on my reaction. "Pride showed me what had happened, how you plunged a knife into his heart."
