When the Family 105

Chapter 105 He Won’t Help You

The name flashing on her phone was Matheo.

If he was calling now, he must’ve seen what was going on…

Julia didn’t know what kind of tone he’d take. Would he be angry? Would he chew her out? Or maybe just maybe he’d believe in her, stand by her side..

Her fingers trembled. Her heart pounded. She slowly accepted the call, lips pressed into a tight line.

“Hi, Daddy.” Her voice was soft, sweet, and obedient–just like always.

“You tell me. What the hell kind of mess did you just make?!” Matheo’s voice hit like a slap.

Julia flinched. Her face went even paler.

“Dad. I…” She stammered, trying to find something–anything–to say. But no excuses came to mind. Her mouth opened, but her eyes were already glossing with tears.

“What were you thinking? Have you lost your damn mind?” Matheo was furious. Angrier than she’d ever heard him.

He’d never spoken to her like this before.

In her memory, Matheo was always composed. Gentle. Kind.

But now he sounded unhinged–violent, even. Harsh and cold.

Julia’s tightly coiled nerves finally snapped.

Her eyes brimmed, and the tears came spilling out.

“Daddy..” Her voice trembled with heartbreak. “Didn’t you say I was your favorite? Didn’t you say you didn’t care about your other kids?”

She sniffled hard, face streaked with tears.

“So why are you screaming at me over Easton? I thought… I thought if it came down to it, you’d pick me…”

Matheo hadn’t expected her to unload like this.
