A Simple Confession

Day Fifty-Nine…

~~*****~~

[ At Nathan's Cabin…]

"Dad, why are you packing?" Ethan asked his father in confusion. "Are you going somewhere?"

Nathan nodded his head. "I'm returning home tomorrow."

"Huh? Why, Dad? We are supposed to have a seven-day vacation trip." Ethan wasn't happy to hear that his father was going back to Country M.

"I have work, Ethan. You can stay here with them. But for me, I don't have any reason to stay here longer." Nathan's tone was cold when he said those words.

Ethan crumpled his face and pouted his lips. He was looking forward to seeing his father and Jane get along well during this trip. If his father goes back, then Jane would miss the opportunity to get close to him.

"Are you running away from your responsibility, Dad?" Ethan questioned him, crossing his small arms over his chest. He looked at his father sharply.
