Fear made his heart race as he looked across at where Dad sat watching TV.
He didn’t want to believe Dad would turn his back on him, but doubts gnawed at the back of his mind.
”Hey, Dad!” Kevin crossed the room and held out the legal papers. “I found these inside Granny’s sofa. They’re for you.” Dad muttered grumpily and snatched the papers from Kevin’s hand.
The man started to grin as he read the agreement.
”I’m going out, Kevin.” When Dad leaped from his chair and strode to the door, Kevin’s fears were realized. But for a minute, he thought it might just be a coincidence that Dad left after reading those papers.
Kevin followed him for several blocks before Dad entered a fancy-looking building. It was a lawyer’s office.
Kevin angrily wiped away tears as he headed back to the apartment.
Granny was right; Dad loved money more than him.An hour later, Kevin walked up to Denise and Miguel’s front door and rang the bell. ”Kevin?” Denise frowned worriedly as she opened the door.
“Is everything OK? We didn’t expect you to be back for another two days.” Kevin sniffed.
“Dad isn’t…I just, uh…” “Hey,” Denise crouched down and put her hands on his shoulder. “It’s OK.
I know you’ve been going through a tough time.” Kevin smiled in tears as he looked up at Denise. He hadn’t felt loved like this since Mom died.
In his heart, he thanked Granny for asking such loving people to look after him.
