In that moment, a quiet guilt seeped into Casper's heart. He felt like he couldn't even measure up to a child. He hugged the little guy tightly. "Brock, you're worried about mommy, right?" "Uh-huh," the little one nodded.

"Well, Mr. Casper will help you find her." He extended his pinky, linking it with Brock's in a promise, "Pinky swear, okay?"

The little guy lit up, his clear eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Mr. Casper, you have to keep your word."

"Of course, buddy. Uncle always keeps his promises," Casper nodded with a smile.

Brock wrapped his arms around Casper's neck, full of affection. "Mr. Casper, you're so nice. I really wish you were my dad."

Those words hit Casper like a sharp blade, piercing his heart.

He felt an intense bitterness inside. He wished he could rightfully be Brock's father. But would he ever get the chance? Eliza probably wouldn't give him that opportunity. During dinner, Eliza made a video call on Audrey's phone. She chatted with the little guy for a bit.
