When Ivy entered the house, Cory was reading on the couch. Usually at this time, he'd be in the study.
Seeing Ivy come back, he only lifted his eyelids, waiting for Ivy to call him, and then come over like a little bird chirping about the fun stuff she did with her uncle.
But to his surprise, Ivy didn't even lift her head and look in the living room. She went straight upstairs like a wandering soul.
Cory hesitated for a moment, then followed her.
Ivy went back to her room, burying her head directly into her pillow.
Cory stood at the door looking around, walked in, and sat down next to her, "Did someone mess with you?"
Ivy didn't say a word.
This was the first time Cory had seen her like this.
He reached out and nudged Ivy, "Were you bullied?"
Ivy squirmed a bit, sat up, her tear-swollen eyes still filled with tears, "Brother..."
Her voice was full of sobbing.
Cory panicked, thinking she really had been bullied. Of course, it had to be that no-good-looking guy!!
"Why don't we have a dad?" Ivy choked out the question.
Cory froze.
"I want a dad." Ivy's lips twitched, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Being with Handasome Mister felt different than being with Uncle Calvin and the others. She felt very safe, very secure, as if she’s not afraid of anything.
"Be good, Ivy, just tell me, but don't tell mommy, it will make her sad," Cory clumsily hugged his sister, gently patting her back.
