......
The question that Zachary had no answer to was asked.
He did not speak for a long time.
Maria's face was full of disappointment. "So I'm not something that was born out of love? I'm trash. That's sad."
An uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart.
She had thought that her daddy and mommy were in love with each other. It seemed that wasn't the case as her mommy was separated from her daddy for so many years.
Sob.
Maria wanted to cry.
"No," Zachary did not miss the disappointment and sadness in his daughter's eyes. He could not bear to see his daughter looking so heartbroken. Looking at the child, he said, "It's not what you think."
"Is that so?" She lifted her eyes that were full of expectation to meet his. "But you never asked me once where Mommy went since you met me. How does that mean that you both are good with each other?"
She easily caught on to things.
He was taken aback.
This child was really smart.
