He doesn't mind being a Daddy to her son.

(Arielle's POV)

I was genuinely touched by his kind words, and tears welled up in my eyes in gratitude. Before I could stop myself, I was up on my feet, hugging him." "Dwayne," I whispered, my voice trembling.

His arms wrapped around me, holding me close. "You don't have to thank me. These are what friends do for each other."

I returned to my seat after we disengaged from the hug.

"What are your plans now? How do you go about your return to the country?"

I took a deep breath, thinking about the logistics. "I'll call my mum and Ashley to inform them. It's been years, so I'll definitely need their help in settling down." "Alright, just let me know where I come in," Dwayne said, his voice gentle. "I'll make sure to be available to help in any way I can."

"Thank you so much."

He nodded and beckoned the waiter to come take our order. And the evening went blissfully afterward.

As we finished our meal, he glanced at his watch. "Ready to go home, I'll drive you?"

"Yes, I'm ready," I replied.

As we walked to the car, he suddenly stopped, and turned to me.

"Before we leave, I have to get something for the little champ," he said, a sly grin spreading on his face. "I haven't seen him in a week."

I nodded, and he walked off.
