Charlotte: Tapping foot Dad, who’s this secret kid? Tell me straight.
My ex-lover decided to leave me with my little one.
rolls her eyes Well, congratulations! You're now officially the worst parent in the history of this family.
You always have an opinion
crosses arms Oh, you bet your ass I do! And I'm not going to sit here and watch you screw our family up even more.
snorts Yeah, well, newsflash, dad, being your child is no picnic either! You think you can just drop this bombshell on us and expect us to deal with it without any consequences?
No. But you haven’t heard the whole story yet
leans in, glaring Fine. Enlighten me then. What's the "whole story"? Don't leave anything out.
She said she was pregnant with another man’s child. I can’t even be mad
narrows her eyes So let me get this straight. Your ex-lover, who conveniently forgot to mention her affair with someone else, also conveniently showed up pregnant with his child? Sounds like one hell of a coincidence.
You know that I don’t lie
laughs sarcastically Oh, sure, dad. I'm supposed to believe that you, the king of spin doctors, doesn't lie. Give me a break.
I don’t expect you to believe me. I’ll give you some time to figure things out
sighs heavily Fine, dad. We'll figure it out. But don't think for a second that this is all figured out just because you gave us some half-baked story.
As Charlotte and TwoRoyal grapple with the revelation, they must navigate their strained relationship and uncover the truth behind their father's secret child. Meanwhile, Charlotte's younger brother struggles to cope with the impending changes in their family dynamic, fearing the impact on their already fragile family bonds.
rolls her eyes First, we need to find out if this child actually exists. And if she does, we need to know everything. Where she lives, who her mother is, if she's being taken care of properly. We can't just blindly trust your word, dad.
snaps her fingers Alright, let's start by tracking down this ex-lover of yours. We need to get to the bottom of this mess.
leans in closer Nothing in life comes easy, dad. Especially not when you've been lying to us for God knows how long.
I’m sorry I should have told you sooner
rolls her eyes Sorry doesn't cut it, dad. You think an apology is going to fix this? We need action, not empty words.
snaps her fingers Good. Finally got some movement out of you. We need to find this woman before she disappears into the shadows.
stands up abruptly Try your best? That's not good enough, dad. We need to find her, no matter what it takes. And we need to do it fast.
narrows her eyes Alright, dad. If you fail to find this woman, I will take matters into my own hands. I won't let this family be ruined by your secrets anymore.
