Chapter 169 I Am His Father

Elias looked at the little guy in front of him. He recalled how he said, ‘Uncle Elias, you’re not my father,” and he felt a little upset about it. He wondered when he would hear this kid finally call him ‘dad. He knew it would take time, but wasn’t it about time for such a joyous thing to happen?

Elias was at a loss for words. Then, he tentatively brought up the topic, “How would you feel if I were your father? Would you be happy or disappointed?” Aiden pondered the question for a while before replying. “If you’re my dad, then you could drive me around in those cars in your garage, right?”

A smile curled up on the man’s lips. “Of course, I could even give them to you.” The little brat giggled happily, “Then… if you’re my dad, will your mommy and daddy scold me like how they scold you?” Children’s logic truly knew no bounds. It was fascinating how his mind wandered so far.

Elias responded, “No, of course not. I would never let anyone scold you.” He would never let anyone lay a finger on his son. How could he ever give someone leave to punish his son? Aiden widened his adorable eyes at his proclamation before finally announcing for all sundry, “Then, I will be happy to have you as my father!”

A gentle smile appeared on the man’s face as his voice became softer. “Really?” Aiden nodded profusely while babbling in excitement, “Uh-huh! I can ride in all those cars you own! It will be awesome!”

Elias muttered to himself, “All he thinks about are the cars in my garage.”
