“Yes,” Aileen murmured.

Maurice’s joy leaped, bursting from the confines of his chest.

His arms spread open and enclosed around his daughter.

“Thank you, Aileen…”

Aileen returned his tight embrace and smiled. “Dad, we all heard what you said just now.”

The words caught Maurice by surprise. He turned to Adrian and Silas. The boys were stiff, standing with uncharacteristic awkwardness.

Maurice never imagined that they would accept him because of what they had heard.

Adrian felt Maurice’s gaze on him and became embarrassed. Hiding behind stubbornness, he said, “Did you say that on purpose? You must have known we would hear you.”

Seeing the boy desperately try to cover up his own shyness by putting Maurice on the spot, he couldn’t help but retaliate.

“Maybe.”

“What? Shouldn’t you be denying it?” Adrian turned furious, as expected.

“Adrian, you’re just like Silas. He used to be the exact same way,” Maurice answered with a laugh.

A flush spread all over Adrian’s face.
