The Secret Scientist She Called A Thief

Summary

The news of my ex-wife and daughter, after my second chance at life, came via a call from an unfamiliar number.

“Hello, who is this?”

My voice must have triggered something, because the person on the other end immediately burst into an excited response.

“Daddy, Maisie misses you so much! When are you going to come see Mommy and me?”

“We have a big field day next month, and you haven’t been to one of my school sports in ages.”

I kept my expression blank, my rejection swift and cold.

“Don’t you have a better dad now?”

“Go ask your new father for help.”
