Meeting You Was Fate

Shaun didn't do that on purpose. After all, who forgets something on purpose? It was just that his memory prowess couldn't catch up to his old age. Maybe it was because of age, or was it because of him working tirelessly? Whatever it was, it had caused him to lose a lot of memories.

"Don't beat around the bush with me!" Shaun said without giving it much thought.

"You should call it quits with this business. You aren't fit for it. Yes, you aren't even a qualified father!" Eve mocked while squinting her eyes.

Just then, something snapped inside Shaun. He stood still like a mountain, for even his chest didn't move.

"I'm indeed... an unqualified father. I have made a lot of mistakes over the years, but I regretted none but one. Raising you while making sure you lacked nothing was my biggest mistake. Raising you into a spoiled princess was my biggest mistake. If I could correct just one mistake: I would correct you. Just look at yourself. How can you dress like that and still parade around in a bar?"

Hearing that didn't bring shame to Eve. It brought anger instead. She clenched her fists so tight that her fingernails dug into her flesh. It was painful, but was it as painful as the pain in her heart?

Her father, no, her biological father, just called her a spoiled princess. Ha-ha! "Dad, am I such a bad girl in your eyes?" Eve asked with betrayal evident in her voice.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Shaun frowned and replied, "As your father, I hope you can be better than everyone else. But you have been acting weird these past few days. Instead of going to a spa or salon, you are frequenting shady bars. Eve, you have to start thinking about the future. You are unmarried, and if such scandalous facts become common knowledge, who would be willing to marry you?"

"I just went there a few times. Is it that big of a deal? Ha-ha! Moreover, I don't really care about being single because the man I love sees me as nothing more than a friend." Each and every word of Eve brought the unpleasant smell of wine along with it. Her emotions stirred because of her father's words, and she couldn't stop herself from arguing.

"When did you become so wicked and heartless? What did you do to Adrian?" Shaun was no longer controlling his voice. He shouted while saying each and every word in a clear but crisp manner.
