"Yes, I would like for you to move that upstairs," I instructed to the movers as they took the chair upstairs.
It's been a few weeks since Amelia and I had went through divorce. I've finally found a good penthouse, that comes with two bedrooms, an office and a 1 guest room. I'm probably going to use that guest room to build Em a studio since she loves making music and stuff.
"Dad ,why can't I live with you?" She questioned making my heart pang as she watched the movers move her bed into her room.
"Because your mother and I have an agreement which is I get you on the weekends and a few optional week days," I explained walking into the kitchen with her following in after me.
"And by the way how are you doing? With me and your mother divorcing?" I questioned.
I'm sure Em heard everything that night and I expected her to cry or seek comfort from me or Amelia but she seemed perfectly fine.
"To be honest dad, I knew you and mom weren't a normal couple," she began shocking me.
"I'm 16, not the little 6 year old who believed everything she saw,"
"The way you and mom were distant and the way you went along with everything mom wanted, I could tell that my parents weren't in love with another," I frowned staring at Em as she avoided my gaze.
"Oh, peanut," I called making her cringe.
"I even knew mom was cheating on you but I-I didn't want to tell you because I-"
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry that you got dragged in all of this between me and your mother," I apologized.
Emily smiled faintly before continuing.
"I saw how mom smiled when she talked to Barry, it was like her world lit up, I haven't saw her smile like that since my middle school graduation,"
"She looked so happy and yet when I look at you dad, you're the opposite," she stated making my heart tightened a bit.
"What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine," Emily only shook her head in disappointment before grabbing my hand.
"Dad, I want to see you happy,"
"What do you mean? I'm perfectly happy with you,"
"No, Dad I want to see you happy with someone other than me," she declared making my brows que in question.
