Well she's very cheerful girl like you ‘he playing with my hair

 

She speak English well since she was 3 and she enter the playground at 2 ‘

She's really smart and active ‘

 

She look like a little you ‘

 

She so strong ‘

 

In her age ?? ‘

 

Yes , cause she  almost never cry in front of me ‘

 

Really?’

 

Yes,she always want me happy’

 

She have angel heart ‘ I told him make he smile

 

But if you allow me can I ask why you divorce? I mean you have a perfect family right ?? ‘

 

Yeah, I have a wonderful daughter but that's not perfect if my daughter can't get enough love from her own mom ‘

 

How you can say that ?? ‘

 

Someday I back home early and don't inform my wife cause I want surprise them but when I open the door I find she slaps  Carol several time just because Carol ask her attention ‘

 

Why?’

 

Honestly,Diana don't like and don't agree to have kid when we married but because her sick father beg she agree to have Carol ‘

 

So what's Carol fault?? ‘

 

Diana always see Carol as the annoying baby that's why she born Diana abandoned her ‘

 

OMG’

 

That’s why since Carol born until now she never take care of Carol ‘

 

But how can she hurt her own daughter?’

 

I don't know ‘

 

Did she just hurt Carol once ??

 

No , Diana always hurt Carol every time I'm not around ‘

 

How you know ?? ‘

 

The maid told me everything’

 

That's insane ‘

 

I know , but one thing that make me really hate Diana is when she hit Carol with vodka bottle just because Carol call her when she back from club ‘

 

OMG ‘

 

I never know about that but I know when Carol enter the hospital ‘

 

Don't you ask why Carol hospitalized?? ‘

 

Diana just inform me Carol slipped from stair an nothing bad happens to her ‘

 

And no one told you the truth ?? ‘ I ask

 

No one know the truth beside the maid ‘

 

So how you can bring Carol out ??

 

I just tell my parents about my decision and they agree with me so I book a flight and  I bring Carol move to France with my parents ‘

 

So how Diana reaction?

 

She try kidnapped Carol from me ‘

 

Oh God how can ?!’

 

I know she love Carol but she still can't give up on her night life ‘

 

Night life ?? ‘

 

Yes , Diana more like her night life she's a model before married to me and she love to  hang out almost every day with her model friends leave Carol with maid ‘

 

But why Carol don't tell you when her mom hurt her ?? ’

 

She don't want me to angry with her mom and she didn't want me to sad , that's what's she tell me ‘

 

She care about your happiness math ‘

 

I know but she hurt so much in such little age ‘

 

So how her condition now?’

 

We already bring her to many physical doctor and luckily Carol personality is so bright if not she can depressed ‘

 

That's relief ‘

 

Yeah ‘he said while playing with my hair

 

Did Carol meet her mom again after you divorce?’

 

Like what I told you earlier ,She several times try to kidnapped Carol but I always find out before she can do her plan ‘

 

But if she ask you , did you let she meet Carol ?? ‘

 

No, still no cause I don't  want she hurt Carol again ‘

 

But she's Carol mom , you can't ignore that fact ‘

 

I know but I don't want my babygirl hurt anymore and that's my final decision ‘

 

Did Carol hate her mom ?? ‘

 

I don't know and I never ask her ‘He answer while I nod

 

So tell me bout you honey ‘
