Chapter 1104

Lucas broke down in tears. "Aaron, I'm sorry. I haven't been a good person, and I've been an even worse father. You have every right to be angry with me, to hate me if you want. I've let everyone down."

He'd never felt regret like this before-not until now.

"Aaron, from now on, Uncle Connor will be your dad. He'll do a much better job than I ever could. Go ahead, hate me, blame me. Honestly, it might be better if you just forgot about me."

He stood up and walked away without looking back.

Summer watched him go, his figure disappearing into the night, and finally let her own tears fall. She dropped her head and whispered, "I won't hate you. You'll always be my dad."
