Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

I found it strange, so I followed her gaze to the opposite side of the street. Matthew was standing beneath a large tree with a stuffed animal in his arms.

When he noticed we were staring at him, he grew uncomfortable and tried to turn away, but it was too late.

Atlas walked over and crouched down. He lifted Ava's chubby little face with his hand and said, "If you want to go, then go!"

Ava snapped out of it and threw herself into Atlas's embrace. She held onto his neck tightly and said, "Daddy! I just want you as my daddy!"

Her eyes held stubborn resentment as she said, "But he's not a good dad!"

"Darling, people make mistakes, and we give them a chance to make up for them. Look! He came to see you, which means he loves you and knows he was wrong. It's great that there are so many people who care about you."

I didn't expect Atlas to say this. In truth, I felt helpless.
