Chapter 1214 Thanksgiving (II)

• Chadwick Fullner was awash in guilt. Truth was, he spent less and less time with his dad. It had flipped into Dad taking care of him. He left at dawn, got home late at night. Every morning, Dad got up early to fix him breakfast. At night, he’d wait up until Chadwick came back before turning in. Otherwise, two guys living under one roof could go days without even catching a glimpse of each other. From Dad’s words, Chadwick could hear the thick, heavy loneliness. At his age, what’s better than having your kid around?
• “Dad, just for now. I’m slammed for a bit, but once Miss Sawyer’s company finishes its shake-up, I’ll finally catch a break. After that, I swear I’ll spend real time with you.” Chadwick said it, but even he felt how hollow it sounded. Regal Peaks would wrap up, then the consulting firm would hit its growth stride, and the fresh-food supermarkets kept expanding. There might be a logistics hub next. And that little studio called “Two People”... He could still see Madison Sawyer’s eyes lighting up when she talked about it. It was her wish, and he would make it happen.
• Which meant he’d be running nonstop, like life was a never-ending chase. He swore to himself that when this wave passed, no matter how busy he was, he would carve out time every day for his dad. Do his duty. No excuses.
