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?
• So, Elias shot a glance at the kid beside him as he started the fire before asking, "Aiden, how would you feel if I were your father?" The hidden meaning of the question clearly went over the boy's head. He blinked his big eyes naively and asked, "Didn't you say you know my daddy? How could you be my dad? Mommy said my dad was a sc*mbag who didn't want us. Uncle Elias, you don't seem like a sc*mbag."
• 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?"
