"Hayden, Hayden, he's back! Your father is back!" The nanny couldn't help yelling.

Hayden muttered, "You're lying. My father isn't back."

"It's true." The nanny was getting more and more agitated. "Hayden, look, your father's right outside the window."

Hayden trembled all over.

He raised his head and looked out the window, not even daring to breathe.

However, there was no one there.

The hope in Hayden's eyes faded away instantly.

He murmured, "I knew you were lying to me, Auntie. My father hasn't come back at all."

His words had just fallen when the door was pushed open.

Tobias stood there, facing the light. He looked unbelievably handsome and warm.

Hayden's head was abuzz.

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming.

"Daddy," Hayden said in a small voice, his disbelief evident.

Tobias walked to him, looking like he was coated in gold.

Hayden stared at him. "Am I dreaming?"

"Hayden, you're not dreaming. Daddy's here," Tobias said in his deep voice.

"Daddy, is it really you?"

Tobias didn't immediately reply. He picked Hayden up and said, "Hayden, Daddy's here. Take a good look and see whether I'm your Daddy."

Hayden reached out a small hand and ran it over Tobias' face.

It was warm to the touch.

It was a real person, and this was his father, whom he'd been longing for.
