Keeping aside the letter, he took his phone and quickly typed a long paragraphs of apology messages, intending to send them to Aiden.
But as he was about to send it, his finger stopped above the send button. What's done is done. He wouldn't be able to amend what's broken with a mere apology.
So, to show his sincerity, he decided to end his own life. When he gets to the afterlife, he would search far and wide until he saw Chloe and his parents and apologize. Then, he would wait for Aiden and show him a better version of the father he failed to have on earth.
Even though Mr. Wilfred had no idea how the afterlife worked, even though he had a lingering fear that he may not be able to reunite with his family, he wanted to believe that God, who is merciful, would show him mercy.
He went to the kitchen and took a knife. With the knife dangerously pointing to his neck, he slowly closed his eyes, tears of regret streaming down for the last time.
