Gabriel smiled and affectionately touched her head. "Will be soon."
Gabriel was a tough nut. A lot of women had fallen for his tricks.
After some hesitation, I decided to meet my daughter at a café.
I put aside my past grievances and analyzed the situation. She acted as if she heard the funniest joke in the world. "You're just jealous that I've found the right man."
I became anxious, holding her hand. "Why don't you listen to me? I'm your mom. How could I deceive you?"
She pushed me away and pointed at me with sharp nails, saying, "Stop it! You've lied to me a hundred times over the years. Every time I got a boyfriend, you secretly broke us up! And you kept me away from my male friends and classmates! No wonder Dad dumped you!"
With a crisp sound, I slapped her across the face.
I immediately regretted it. I kept apologizing while my daughter covered her face, her eyes red with tears. She bit her lip tightly, to keep tears from her eyes. "Grace Wilson, I disown you!"
