34 Meeting David 3 (2/2)

”What were you doing?” he looked at the worn out gown he gifted two years back.

”It still fits you?” he was amazed.

”Ah... yes? It is my favourite night dress! The material is so soft. But it got some holes so I was stitching those holes up.” she spoke as she carefully started sewing the holes again.

”You can discard it. I can always get one for you!” Corbette couldn't help but smile at his little daughter who was so matured unlike Caroline.

”Really!?” Margaret's eyes qucikly darted at Corbette the moment she heard that she would get one similar dress. After all she was also a child.

”Why not? Haha! You could've just asked me, Margaret.”

”It's fine. I can still wear it.” Margaret's face broke into a gentle smile. She had previously blurted out the words without thinking but now as she thought that the gown could cost her father more... she killed her desire to own one.

They both talked for an hour. They laughed and made fun of each other. Corbette laughed so hard that he had to hold his stomach and pinch his cheeks. Margaret started to cry while laughing on the jokes her father made on Caroline and her step-mother. At times she would think of controlling herself but couldn't help.

”Ah... my stomach!” Corbette took deep breaths and started laughing again. Looking at his watch he noticed that he was already half past nine.

”You should sleep now, Margaret. See you tomorrow.” He stood up from the chair and patted Margaret's head.

”Good night.” he started heading towards the door.

”Father... I want to ask you something.” Margaret stood up, keeping the needle back in the box.

”Yes, what is it?” Corbette turned around.

”Who am I, Dad?” she tried to recall everything but she could hardly remember anything now.

Cobette stood still and spoke nothing. He stared at the locket.
