How does that saying go again?
All good things must come to an end.
No matter how much Ivy stalled, it was time for the two of them to part.
In front of the car.
Wayne took out a box and handed it to Ivy, "This is a phone I got for you, Ivy. I've already installed a chat app, and I've added myself as your friend. Whenever you miss me, just text me, okay?"
Ivy took the box and finally couldn't help but start to sob.
Wayne hugged her tenderly.
"Don't worry, I'll come and visit you," Wayne promised.
Ivy didn't know what to say to Wayne.
Her mommy wouldn't let her see him again.
"Uncle, I will work hard on my drawings and try to have an art exhibition as soon as possible!"
That way, Uncle could come to her exhibition, and she could see him.
"Alright." Wayne patted Ivy's head gently, "You should get in the car now; it's getting late. Your parents must be worried."
Ivy buried her face in Wayne's neck.
Muffled, she said, "no parents, just mommy."
Wayne paused, "What did you say, Ivy?"
"I don't have a daddy." Ivy's voice was filled with tears.
Wayne never expected Ivy never mentioned her daddy because she didn't have one...
"Ivy…"
Wayne was a bit flustered.
"Uncle, can Ivy call you daddy?" Ivy asked while sobbing.
Wayne's heart ached as if it was being cut.
He thought about his own child and his foolishness and distrust.
"You...you can." Wayne's voice trembled a little.
Ivy hugged him and cried out, "Daddy."
Wayne instinctively held Ivy tight.
"Ivy, it's okay. I'm here for you. I will protect you like a father. Whenever you need me, I'll be by your side," Wayne promised solemnly.
Ivy nodded, finally letting go of Wayne.
