"Do you want me to be your father?"
Kerr squatted down to be on the same height as Jay, and looked at him straight in the eye. He seemed so earnest in his request that he decided to show his respect by being on the same level as the boy.
Although Jay was still a child, he would treat him seriously. Kerr could feel in Jay's gaze that he was considering what was best for Nicole's interest given that he loved and cared for her deeply.

Just now, it occurred to Kerr that Jay did not understand the difference between familial affection and romantic love.
"That's different. I like your mommy, but your love for her is different."
With a smug look in his eyes, Kerr reached out and held the young child in his arms.
It was true that Nicole had successfully drew his attention and aroused his interest. Even he was starting to believe that he was falling in love with her a little bit.
Stretching out his short arms, Jay put them around Kerr's neck and tilted his face against Kerr's broad shoulder. Jay was thinking that Uncle Gu was an adult whom he could rely on, so he allowed himself to be hugged by him.

Kerr helped Jay sit down on the chair. When the dishes were served to them, he deftly cut the steak on his plate and exchanged it with the plate in front of Nicole.
"Wow, Uncle Gu is so considerate!"
Watching Kerr cut the steak for his mommy, Jay clapped his hands and exaggeratedly praised Kerr's behavior. In return, Nicole ro fr(e)ewebnovel

After taking the photo from his mother, he looked at the girl in the picture and nodded.
