Chapter 684: Lack of attachment

[Flashback of the Young Finn Davis]

"Mom?" The young Finn, about four years old, came downstairs while hugging a drawing book. He had an innocent smile on his face — excited, even - because he had been waiting for this day to come.

His parents promised that today would be his day. Just him and them.

"Yes, I see — well, I... can't, okay?" The woman, standing in the living room while holding a tray with the phone between her shoulder and ear, looked a little impatient with the person on the other end of the line. "What?! Are you kidding me? We already agreed - what do you mean it can't happen today if I'm not there?"

Outraged, the woman dropped the tray on the coffee table and held the phone. She ran her free hand through her hair, walking away to talk more fiercely to the person on the other end of the line.

Finn pressed his lips into a thin line, looking up the stairs, only to find his father rushing down while wearing his suit.

"Daddy?" called the young Finn, earning a smile from his father when the latter came to where he was.

"Hey, buddy..." His father ruffled his hair and smiled, squatting down in front of him.

"Where are you going?" asked the young Finn innocently, even though a part of him already figured out where his father was headed.

The man stretched his mouth and smiled. "Son, Daddy just needs to sort things out at the company, okay? Don't worry. I'll come back as soon as I can."

"Oh..."

"It'll be very quick!" the man promised, raising his voice to sound cheerful. "You won't wait too long, okay?"
