Chapter 169

Hackett looked at the young lad before him, recalling when the child uttered, "Hackett isn't my dad," which left him uneasy.

He pondered when the right time might come for this mischievous youngster to address him as "Dad"

He understood it had to happen naturally, but was the moment ripe now?

As Hackett busied himself with kindling a fire, he glanced at the little fellow beside him and inquired, "Alex, how would you feel if I were your father?"

Clearly, this question transcended young Alex's understanding. His wide eyes blinked, and he responded in a childish tone, "But you said you know my father. How could you be my father Mommy mentioned that my father was a terrible man who abandoned us, and you don't seem like that."

This response left him momentarily speechless.

He ventured cautiously, "If I were indeed your father, how would that make you feel? Happy or disappointed?"

Alex pondered this matter solemnly for a while before offering. If you were my father, could I sit in all those cool cars at your residence?"

Hackett reassured, "No, I wouldn't allow anyone to beat you."

He couldn't fathom the notion of anyone raising a hand to his son, let alone letting someone beat him..

Alex widened his adorable grape-like eyes and remarked, "So, if you were my father, I would be happy, for sure."

Hearing this, a trace of indulgence danced in the man's smile, and his voice softened, "Is that so?"
