NovelGoldChapter 1780 Originally, she could've dodged the bullet, but thanks to Alec, she was likely to get an earful again. Alec stood off to the side, completely indifferent, like none of this was his problem. He figured Fiona needed a good wake-up call this time. Otherwise, she might start believing that her skills alone could get her out of any jam.
"Mom, Dad, Fiona already realizes she messed up. She promises it won't happen again," Alec chipped in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFiona gave her mom the most pitiful look she could muster. In their family, her mom adored Fiona, and her dad adored her mom. Basically, Fiona was living the sweet life. As long as she didn't upset her mom, her dad wouldn't ever think of disciplining her with his slipper.
Sophie cast a tic look at Colby and said, "Colby, what do you think? Looks like our daughter really gets it this time. Should we let it slide or not?" "There's another option-lethandle her punishment," chimed in James, his voice cutting through the air. The second Fiona heard him, she felt a shiver run down her spine. James had somehow snuck up behind them, a plan already laid out in his hand.
Colby frowned, "And why should you be the one to punish my daughter?" Fiona nodded vigorously like a bobblehead. "Yeah, exactly! Dad's totally right!" "Because I'm her godfather," James declared.
"A godfather's just that-a godfather, not her real dad." "If Fiona wants, I can be her real dad too." The air was thick with tension between the two men. Sophie quickly stepped in, "Alright, enough of this! I'll take care of disciplining Fiona. You guys just step aside!" With that, Sophie ushered Fiona upstairs.
Once there, Fiona flopped onto her bed with a sigh of relief. "Mom, why did you marry Dad when you were young? And if that wasn't enough, why'd you marry my godfather before that?" "What? So, you're not happy with having two dads?" "It's not just that I'm unhappy-I'm super unhappy!" To her real dad, she was just the bonus that cwith her mom. As for her godfather? He was all about molding her into sheir, using every tough-love trick in the book. To her, both dads were like living nightmares.
Sophie chuckled at Fiona's outburst and asked, "So, who would you rather have as your dad?" "I think Odie would be awesome! He's super nice to me. He always givesthe best stuff first and takesout for fun. Even when I skip school, he's all about praisingfor it." "Wait, what? Skipping school?" Sophie's face clouded over.

"Oh, Odie, daring to let my daughter skip school!"
Sophie reached for the phone to call Odie, and Fiona quickly grabbed her mom's arm, "Mom! No, it was my idea to skip school. I was just bored, it had nothing to do with Odie."
"If it's not his fault, then whose is it? You're picking up all the wrong m habits. What if he decides to just take off with you one day?" "...Huh?" Fiona was baffled. Take off with her? Wasn't her mom supposed to be worried about her grades?
Sophie dialed Odie's number with determination. The moment he picked up, she let loose "odie, are1 ve you seriously encouraging my daughter to ditch school? Have things been too cushy for you in Lakeside?"
