Over five years of absence from fatherly love wasn't easy for the child to suddenly accept, and Huangfu Jue certainly understood the importance of taking it slowly.
The little guy thought for a moment, his small mouth moved slightly, and he gave a light cough.
"Then... I'll call you... Daddy!"
In his heart, the little guy had already accepted Huangfu Jue as his father, but he was too proud to easily change the way he addressed him.
He had already decided that he would formally change how he called him once Huangfu Jue and mom got married.
Guessing at some of his thoughts, Huangfu Jue's lips curved upward slightly, and he stood up and walked over to him, squatting down to embrace him.
"Call me."
The little guy spoke softly.
"Daddy."
The not-so-loud voice, with its childlike tone, made both adults' hearts soften.
He embraced the boy in his arms, Huangfu Jue holding the little body tightly to his chest.
"Good boy!"
