I touched my nose and realized that the remarks were odd enough coming from his mouth. This was Nathan Tanner, my father who could seemingly find fault with anything I did.

“Sorry, Dad. You should know I seldom go home all these years. I have no idea you changed a new car.”

I cocked my head to one side and gave him an innocent smile. Dad was just shy of announcing in the papers that he had renounced me as his daughter following me refusing his arranged marriage proposal. The whole family did not pay heed to me after that. I would still go back every year for the holidays, but they did not care to spare me any niceties. Why should I go back and put myself through that?

“You unfilial brat. Even you admit yourself that you don’t come back often, huh. Get in now. I have something to say to you,” Nathan pushed the car door open and said sternly.

I got into the car, but I was not willing to face the music coming my way. I tossed him a smile, saying, “I really want to go back. But Dad, you have a wife and another daughter, and you guys are such a happy family. I’d really hate to ruin that by going back to that house. So, you can imagine why I seldom go back nowadays.”
