Chapter 19

Nora had been waiting for Aspen to back her up. She had taken a few punches earlier without shedding a tear. However, her eyes turned red the moment she saw Quill walking straight to Sabrina. "Daddy…" she whispered, her lips trembling as she watched Quill soothing Sabrina in a gentle voice. Her chest filled with an overwhelming sense of injustice. She could not accept that he was treating her this way after five years of being so good to her. Even if it had all been part of some mission, the five years of shared memories should be worth something. Hearing Nora's trembling plea, Sabrina rolled her eyes dramatically. "I already told you, he's my daddy! Don't you have your own? Why are you trying to take mine?" The teacher shifted uncomfortably, glancing between Quill and the girls. Not knowing their relationship, she hesitated to intervene. After all, it was not every day that a child insisted on calling another student's father "Daddy", let alone one who was ready to fight over it.
