chapter 45

  “This is Ariana.” She advised him before going further.

  Ashton chuckled softly, “I know sweetheart.”

  Ariana felt uncomfortable. Her father haven’t addressed her like that for the past twenty years.

  She did not want to sound rude before hearing what the issue is, “What can I help you with?”

  “Can’t I call my daughter?” Ashton was not angry at her impatience.

  “It is late and want to sleep.” Ariana was getting annoyed.

  “Listen cupcake, I have been reflecting on myself and I realized that I haven’t been the best father to you. I know you missed you mom too.” Ashton mentioned seriously over the phone.

  So he did not call to curse her for Gina. He normally only call when he need to argue with her or bribe her to do something for him in the name of raising her. Something he barely did.

  Warm tears started to trickle down her cheeks at the mentioned of her mom. It was the first time hearing her father talking about her mother.
