The call ended and before I could ask him what the hell he was doing, he roughly pulled the car to the curb and turned in his seat. “I’m sorry baby but I can’t leave Julia all by herself. It’s been such a long time since she’d returned home. You guys can just call a taxi. I’ll meet you there after, I promise.”
Utterly shocked and filled with fury that his best friend’s arrival was more important to him than our son’s exams, I stormed out of the car with Enzo and watched as my husband drove off, leaving us stranded on the highway!
Shantelle’s POV
“Mommy, is Daddy coming?” I heard my son ask and when I looked down at his face, his eyes were wet with tears. My fists tightened next to me and I promised him that his father wouldn’t miss it for the world. Cheering Enzo up took a few seconds and soon, I was flagging down speeding taxis who refused to lift my son and me.
