They Regretted Locking Me Out on Christmas

We agreed we were going to spend Christmas together as a family of three. I briefly stepped out to grab my daughter’s Christmas gift, but quickly realized that I had forgotten my keys. However, when I came back, I was locked outside the villa.

I rang the doorbell countless times, but no one came to let me in.

Through the glass window, I saw my daughter happily smiling in the arms of my wife’s childhood friend who had returned from overseas.

“Uncle Jones, you smell so nice. Not like my dad. He’s always sweaty and smells so gross. I don’t even want to spend Christmas with him!”
