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.

“I have work so I cannot make it.” Ariana did not want to meet him. He could simply tell her over the phone.
“Cupcake, don’t be like that. I am trying to be a good father from now on.” Ashton pleaded and Ariana felt herself a bit weak with his pleadings but she still did not trust him.
