The call was answered after a few beeps of the dial tone, and Alan's warm, mellifluous voice greeted. "Good morning, Sammy."
He seemed to answer within seconds whenever she called him.
Samantha smiled slightly and replied, "Good morning."
"What brings you calling so early today?" Alan then asked concernedly, "Did something happen to Matt? Is he alright?"
Alan truly did fulfill the role of Matthew's biological father. His concern and anxiousness for the boy had never diminished ever since Matthew's birth.
Samantha never noticed or thought about it before, but after paying just a little attention, she realized that Alan had done countless things for her and Matthew.
It was supposed to be the responsibility of her husband, Matthew's biological father.
She was still wondering the previous night if she had been a little selfish, but after thinking about it again, she felt that she was too selfish.
