"Dad,you are back"Mary said cheerfully, as her dad pecked her cheeks,ruffling her hair while his eyes were busy scanning the room for Isabella.
Mary knew who he was looking for, because she had asked her dad how his trip went but the man was so worried about his new wife that he didn't even know he was conversing with his daughter.
He was back earlier than she expected,which wasn't what he always did whenever he travelled,but now things have changed.
He was back early for his woman, something which he has never done for her mom.
Stop being such a hypocrite Mary!
She cautioned herself,when she failed to keep to her word after much thought yesterday night to let her dad and his new wife be.
Her stepmother was not what she thought she would be,she had actually thought the woman would turn her dad against her and try to get everything for herself.
