Mother and daughter as enemies Chapter 5

John arrived shortly after

Chloe rushed into his arms, all smiles and sweetness. Daddy, you got here so fast!” 

John shot me a smug look and patted her nose. My precious daughter needs me. Of course I dropped everything.” 

He produced a Starbucks Frappuccino from 

behind his back

Chloe took it, beaming. You’re the best

Dad. You never make me dance, and you get 

me my favorite drinks. I love you!” 

John grinned at me. “She’s a washedup

divorced loser. She has to control you to feel 

important. She doesn’t care about your 

feelings.” 

“I’m different. I just want you to be happy.” 

Chloe gazed at him adoringly. You’re so 

good to me, Dad!” 

What a touching scene

A few words erased over a decade of my 

devotion

All my sacrifices, reduced to a joke

I couldn’t stand it anymore. “I asked you here to talk about Chloe’s custody,I said bluntly

く 

Chloe squeezed his arm, practically bouncing 

with excitement. Daddy, I can finally get 

away from this old woman and live with you!” 

Smart move,” John smirked at me

I tapped my fingernails on the table. Before 

we do that, let’s talk about the cost of raising 

Chloe for seventeen years.” 

I should be the one asking for 

compensation!Chloe shrieked. For all the 

emotional damage you caused by forcing me 

to dance! You think I wanted you to raise 

me?” 

A smug look flashed across John’s face

You’ve suffered enough, honey. Daddy won’t 

ever make you dance again.” 

Chloe gave him a sweet smile. You’re the 

only one who cares about me, Dad.” 

I sighed, feigning reluctance. Well, if that’s 

how you feel, you can have custody of 

Chloe.” 

If a wicked mother like me could raise her 

for seventeen years on her own, I’m sure

loving, welloff father like you can manage.” 

John’s smile froze. What are you saying?” 

I looked at him pointedly. You’re not backing 

out just to avoid paying child support, are 

you?” 

Before he could respond, Chloe jumped in

Don’t try to trick us! Dad doesn’t care about 

your stupid money!” 

Г 

I nodded and pulled out the custody 

agreement I’d prepared

“Great. Sign here.” 

John’s jaw tightened, his hand shaking as he picked up the pen. Think this through, Jane

If I sign this and take full custody, your 

relationship with Chloe is over. Done.” 

He stared at me, certain I wouldn’t go 

through with it

Chloe scoffed. Just sign it, Dad! Who cares about her anyway?” 

I smiled coldly. Right. Sign it.” 

When I wouldn’t give Chloe up for adoption

your sexist family forced me out with nothing

I raised her alone for seventeen years. Now 

it’s your turn.” 

Chloe frowned, looking at her father. “Dad, is 

that true?” 

I had never told her the real reason for the 

divorce. I didn’t want her to grow up filled 

with hate

John stammered for a moment, then forced 

out a few tears. “Don’t listen to her lies

honey. It wascomplicated. Your grandma… 

she threatenedI had no choice‘ 

I’ve been thinking about you every day all 

these years.” 

Chloe dabbed at his dry eyes. Even if it’s 

true, what does it matter? If it wasn’t for that

we wouldn’t have found each other again.” 

Don’t worry, Dad. We’ll never be apart 

again.” 

I couldn’t help but laugh

Life was a dream. From now on, I would live 

only for myself

Well, then I’ll give you both what you want.‘ 

I slid the agreement forward

John hesitated, pen hovering over the paper

I looked at Chloe, a meaningful glint in my 

eye. People rarely change. Do you know why 

your sexist father suddenly showed up? You 

really think he had a change of heart?” 

Г 

I smiled, tearing away the last shred of 

pretense. You’re his only child. That’s why 

he’s here.” 

But you’re a girl. That’s why he doesn’t want 

to pay to support you.” 

وو 

Chloe slammed her hand on the table. Shut 

up! Stop trying to turn me against my dad!” 

cc 

Just rot alone in your misery and be 

jealous!” 

John’s face turned purple. “You vicious 

woman! How dare you!” 

This is vicious?I asked sweetly. What if

told her why you’ve only had daughters

Wouldn’t that be vicious?” 

Г 

John spluttered, pointing a shaking finger at 

  1. me. Don’t you care about Chloe? Aren’t you 

leaving yourself with nothing?” 

I glanced at Chloe, who looked lost in 

thought. “Who cares about me?” 

As for having nothing, the only one I can rely 

on is myself.” 

Just sign it. Take your daughter and leave 

me alone.” 

Or I’ll tell everyone your little secret

Chloe glared at me. Like I care about your 

money! As if I need it!” 

Sign it, Dad! When I grow up, I’ll take care of 

you. I won’t give a cent to her!” 

John’s face softened a little at her words

Just so we’re clear,he said to me, once

sign this, you stay away from Chloe. Forever.” 

Agreed,I said without hesitation

He signed his name with a flourish

Then, worried I’d change my mind, he insisted 

we go to a notary public

I happily obliged

Afterward, Chloe didn’t even look back as she 

left with him

She looked eager to get away, like she was 

く 

afraid I would change my mind

I wonder who will regret this more
