Morning

"Dad! I said no!", Ae-Cha raised her voice, standing in front of Jay with her arms wide open, blocking the main door so that Jay couldn't go out.

Jay, who was looking drop-dead gorgeous in his tight black jeans and high, turtle neck T-shirt paired with a leather jacket, raised an eyebrow, towering over Ae-Cha's figure.

"Why?", He asked, crossing his arms over his chest as a strand of his hair rested on his forehead, making him look hotter.

"You ain't a playboy anymore. You are my dad. You can't go to the club.", Ae-Cha spoke, trying her best to explain.

"Are fathers banned from visiting clubs?", Jay asked.

"No... It's not like that... but..... What would people think about me if they saw you in a club? You are a parent. You shouldn't be doing these things.", Ae-Cha replied.

"Excuse me? We parents still have a life after having children and we have the full right to enjoy it. Just because I have a child can't stop me from enjoying my life. They say having children is a blessing and a responsibility. Sure it is but it doesn't mean that you have no life after having children.", Jay replied, somewhat offended by her words.

"But.... No... You can't go... It doesn't look good... You are old...", Ae-Cha replied, trying to push him away from the door.

"Excuse me? First of all, I don't look old at all. My bodily age is twenty four and you know it very well. So, that's not an excuse to stop me. Second of all, even if I looked old then it shouldn't have been an issue. Parenthood is a good and sweet part of our lives but children need to understand that we aren't just people who are their caretakers. We have a life and it really hurts and angers us at the same time, when children, whom we support in almost everything, try to control us.", Jay replied, holding her wrists, stopping her from pushing him further.

"But... Ugh! See, Dad... I don't wanna say this....but okay, I have to do it. I don't know what happened between..... you and mom and I never asked it because I didn't want to hurt you. I wanted you to tell it to me but whatever it is... I just... I don't feel good. You are my mom's husband. It feels as if you are cheating on her even if she isn't here. You can't go around and make out with random women. Wherever mom is, I am sure that she wouldn't like it at all.", Ae-Cha raised her voice a bit, finally saying it after trying every way to avoid it.

Jay stared at her with emotionless eyes after hearing her words, making it harder for her to decode if he was mad or hurt.

"Ae-Cha, don't talk about things you don't know. I am not cheating on your mom. I can't do it.... I have... I have no right to cheat on her but lemme tell you, I am not doing anything wrong. I never knew that I had to say it like this but listen up....... Your mom and I weren't married. She wasn't my wife and I wasn't her husband. So, don't you dare accuse me of cheating.", Jay muttered in a low, deep voice, staring right into Ae-Cha's shocked eyes.
