Bab 141: Surprise

Shu Pan picked up Joy from kindergarten and on their way home, Joy excitedly shared her day at school, but Shu Pan seemed somewhat distracted. She wanted to ask Joy if she wanted to see her dad. If she could only choose one person, would it be her dad or her mom? But she couldn't bring herself to ask.

When they got back home, Wen Chi called Shu Pan. "Pan, you didn't answer my call earlier. Is everything okay?"

Shu Pan's voice was subdued as she replied, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it. What's up?" Wen Chi could tell something was wrong.

"Don't say it's nothing. I can hear it in your voice," Wen Chi said, sensing Shu Pan's unease.

After a moment of hesitation, Shu Pan finally revealed the truth to Wen Chi, "Joy's dad knows about her now, and he wants custody of Joy."

"What gives him the right? Just because he contributed a sperm? How can he have the audacity to say such things?" Wen Chi couldn't believe the audacity of Joy's father.
