Chapter 248 Father Apologizes

• Logan took a deep breath, the words he had been holding onto for so long finally bubbling up to the surface. “Aidan,” he began, his voice rougher than he intended, betraying the emotions he was trying to hold in check. “I want to apologize… for everything.”
• Aidan's eyebrows knitted together in surprise, his piercing eyes searching his father's face for answers. The apology was unexpected, catching him off guard. Logan had always been the pillar of strength, the one who never faltered, who never admitted to making mistakes.
• Logan saw the confusion in his son’s eyes and continued, his gaze dropping to the floor as if the weight of his past was too much to bear. “I failed you as a father, Aidan. I pushed you too hard, expected too much, and in my desire to see you become strong, I lost sight of what was most important. I wanted you to be everything I couldn’t be… but I forgot to let you be yourself.”
