Chapter 1

When Edward Cullen received a call from Izzy's school, he was in a meeting. His assistant Tanya came into the conference room and gave him a note.

Edward found an excuse and stepped out. He asked quietly, "What is it?"

Tanya said it was an emergency from Izzy's school.

Edward sigh, "I'm in the middle of a due diligence prep, I can't leave!"

"I told Mr. Whitlock and he is coming up to finish the meeting."

"How could a teacher make my life so miserable? Shouldn't it be the teacher's responsibility to figure out what happened in school? I have to work!" Edward said impatiently.

Tanya gave him a small smile.

"Edward, I'll take care of it." Jasper Whitlock urged his partner.

Edward took his jacket from Tanya. His rubbed his eyes, "I've been really tired this year."

"Just try to get through the meeting with Izzy's teacher. It will get better tomorrow." Tanya encouraged.

Edward met Izzy and her teacher at the school office. He put his hands on his 7-year-old girl's shoulders and gave her a little squeeze while waiting for the teacher to start talking.

Izzy's teacher smiled and said, "Mr. Cullen, Izzy pushed her classmate Sophia to the ground and told her that she's a fat and ugly pig. Because this was the third time that Izzy called her friends names and got physical, she's suspended for two days."

The teacher's words shocked Edward, he asked his daughter, "Did you really do that?"

Izzy said nothing but nodded.

Izzy's teacher continued, "We would like parents to help us in guiding the students…. Izzy has to stop bullying her classmates…"

Edward stopped listening.

"I'll talk to her." Edward remained calm. He picked up Izzy's backpack and they left the office.

When Izzy got into Edwards car, she turned to Edward, "Daddy, let's go get some ice-cream?"

At that time, Edward laid his head down on the steering wheel with tears streaming down his face.

Izzy was scared, she grabbed some tissue and handed it to her father.

Edward quietly said, "How about we get home first? We need to talk."

Izzy looked outside the widow and said quietly, "It was Sophia who makes fun of me all the time. My teacher likes her because she's super smart."

Edward pulled out of the school parking lot.

Izzy continued, "I want to switch school."

Edward asked his daughter, "Does Sophia really look like a fat pig?"

"No." Izzy whispered. "She is the prettiest and smartest girl in our class. She's like a princess and she's popular."

Edward kept his eyes on the road, "Sometimes, even when we see a pig, we should be somewhat nice about it."

"What?" Izzy confused.

"You tell her not to feel bad about being a pig. Everybody loves a good pulled pork sandwich."

The father and daughter both giggled loudly. However, Edward could hear the emptiness in Izzy's laughter.

Izzy stopped, turned to her father and said, "I miss Mom."

Edward whispered, "I do too."

Izzy wiped her tears with the back of her hands. "Sophia's mom picks her up every day after school."

Edward pulled into an empty parking lot. He pulled his daughter in and hugged her tightly, "I'm sure Sophia is a pig."

Both of them wept.

Izzy hiccupped, "I wish Mom was still with us."

When they got home, Edward pulled his tie loose and collapsed on his sofa. He was beyond tired.

Izzy went into her room and turned on the TV. Maybe Disney sitcoms could help her forget about her bad day.

Edward ignored the buzzing from his phone. His work could wait, he needed to sleep.

He could tell someone put a blanket on him.

Edward struggled in his dreams. He saw his late wife Bella standing in front of him smiling. He knew it was a dream but he was still excited to see her. "Bella, is it really you?"

Bella took Edward's hands and placed a soft kiss on them. "Why are you so sad?"

"Bella, please come back. Please."

"You take good care of Izzy for me. I love you."

"Bella, if you can't come back, please let me come with you."

"What about Izzy?"

Edward stubbornly said, "Alice will take good care of her."

"That's not fair to Izzy."

"I can't raise her alone. She has all my flaws. I don't know how..."

"She only has you, please be patient with her."

"I can't do it alone! I've tried my best."

Bella wept sadly.

Edward reached out to pull Bella in, "Bella, don't worry, I'll do better. Bella… I promise"
