Willard had clearly made an effort to dress up, choosing a casual yet refined outfit that complemented his polished demeanor. His eyes sparkled with a warm smile as he held several gift boxes in his hands.

"What's this?"

"Gifts for the little guy."

Willard and Daniel exchanged greetings. "Hello, I'm Willard."

Daniel wasn't fond of Willard; he only had eyes for Daddy!

But Mom was there, and she had taught him that kids need to be polite.

With a crisp voice, Daniel called him "Uncle."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Willard, my dad is tied up with work, and he's home alone. I just couldn't leave him by himself," Brittany apologized once again for impulsively bringing Daniel along.

"It's alright. We were bound to meet sooner or later."

Willard seemed genuinely fond of Daniel, handing over the thoughtfully prepared gifts. "This is a little something for our first meeting."

Daniel didn't want it.

But Brittany was watching.

He reached out, accepted the gift box, and thanked "Uncle."
