Daddy's Love novel Chapter 42

Carol is being such a brat. I understand she hates shots and all, but who doesn't? She has used more expletives than I have heard in the longest while now. She is just making a face and sitting with Ana, on the backseat. She even snapped at Ana when she tried to cheer her up. Christian is protecting Carol from my wrath it seems.

We stop for ice creams.

"Which one would you like to have, girls?"

"I'll have a chocolate!" That's Grey. I stare at him. He grins. He loves ice cream.

"I'll have bubble gum, daddy!" Ana says and looks at me. She called me daddy? I look at Grey. Everyone seems oblivious.

"You sweetheart?" I ask Carol.

"I don't want any." She makes a face. I know she likes mint. I'll get her that. I get two chocolates for me and Grey and the flavours for the girls. Everyone looks happy, except Carol. The moment I give her the ice cream she throws it inside the car.

"I'll get her another one." Grey says opening the door.

"No. Get back. "

"But... "

"I said, no."

Christian gets back inside but no one seems to be enjoying their ice creams anymore.

At lunch, Carol sat stoic in her seat. Everyone ignored her on my insistence.

We get back home and I have a headache. Carol's misbehaving. She needs a good thrashing it seems. Ana clings onto me, gauging on my sour mood. She doesn't want Carol to get into trouble.

"Girls, you must be tired. Let's tuck you in for a nap, okay?" Christian tells them.

"No daddy! We want to play!" Ana says.

"My sweet girl, you can play after you wake up okay?" I tell her.

"But we got a shot... And it hurts and I don't want to sleep and if we play, we might forget about the pain... " She tries all her tricks to convince us to let them play. I can't help but chuckle.

"My little minx!" I tickle her a little.
