Austyn nodded occasionally

kica tousled posa’s hair

He was quieter than usual

Honey, what’s wrong?” 

Joshua said nothing

Come on. I can tell you have something on your mind. Can you share it with Mummy

Joshuasighed. Is that man really my father?? 

ah, so that was the question

Kira pondered for a while. Do you want him to be?” 

Joshua mulled in 

It OFCE

He wasn’t sure of the answer

Though he often saw other kids who had both parents, Joshua never felt there was anything amiss about his family

The three of themMu, him and Jennieloved each other, and that wasenough

Besides, he had so many uncles and aunts who visited them frequently and showered him and Jennie with gifts and affection

He liked the way things were, and he wasn’t so sure if their family needed one more member

He was just three year old now, but he would soon grow up and he could protect his mother and sister

He didn’t see the point of having someone else joinno, intrude into their little family unit 

The mancalled Mr Taylor looked a little intimidating, to be honest 

And he was standoffish 

Joshus could bell the man wasn’t too thrilled to see Mummy 

Maybe the mandidn’t want to join their family, either

Joshua sile another glance at his sister, who was still chatteringen 

He couldn’t hear what she was saying, but it was obvious that Jennie liked the man very much

she knew how much joshua adored his twin sister

He was even willing to make such a huge concession for Jennie

Kira squeezed her son’s shoulder affectionately. Jennie’s opinion matters. But so does yours, honey. You don’t have to decide right now. Maybe you can observe bin for a while and then see for yourself if you’d want him in our family.” 

She looked him in the eye and made a promise. II you don’t like him, I won’t let him be your father 

What about you?” 

Joshua looked at his mother. What about your opinion? Do you like that man?‘

The scar on his body wamed him that maybe it was best to let sleeping dogs lle

But now, the DNA report sent a surge of unfamiliar feelings through his heart 

He had the impressible urge to learn about his past
