He Chose His Daughter Over His Wife — And Never Looked Back

Simon and Claire had dreamed of starting a family, and after years of heartbreak, adoption brought them Sophie — a bright-eyed, curly-haired little girl who instantly stole Simon’s heart. “She’s ours,” Claire had once said with conviction. But months into parenthood, that love began to unravel.

Claire grew resentful. “She ruined my wedding dress!” she cried one night, blue paint smeared across the past and future she once imagined. But to Simon, Sophie was no burden — she was his daughter.

Then came the ultimatum: “Either she goes, or I do.” For Simon, the choice was clear.

“I’m not going to destroy this little girl’s life,” he said. Claire walked out.

Weeks later, she tried to return, claiming regret. But Simon remembered Sophie’s tears, her midnight cries, her heartbreak. “You didn’t just leave me,” he told Claire, “you left her.”

Claire wanted to rewind. Simon had already moved forward.

Today, Sophie laughs more. She trusts more. And every night, when she whispers, “You won’t leave me, Daddy?” — Simon answers without hesitation:

“Never.”
