Huston felt like he was about to be toyed with to death. He grabbed Evelyn's arm so hard that she didn't even realize the pain. "Did you hear what Lucas called me just now?"
She looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. His eyes, which had always been good at hiding his emotions, were now completely revealing the excitement and surprise in his heart, mixed with caution.
The child didn't dare to ask to be recognized in front of him. He had always felt uneasy and tortured in his heart.
Suddenly, he couldn't bear to do so.
He was still extremely excited and unable to extricate himself. " Evelyn, is he calling me dad?"
She took a deep breath. For some reason, when she saw that his eyes were gradually turning red, her eyes turned red as well. "Yes."
After receiving a response, he pulled her into his embrace. "My child... recognizes me as his father, right?"
She could feel his tense body and his trembling breathing. She was touched, but when she thought of what had happened in the past, she couldn't help but lose her temper. "What's there to be proud of? This is just the beginning. There's still a long way to go."
"There's no hurry. Let's take it one step at a time." He didn't care at all. It was worth it. "It's enough for him to call me Dad. I've never expected the child to take the initiative to recognize me as his father. I've done too little and owed you too much. This is already a surprise."
She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she raised her hand and patted the man's broad back. "You're Lucas's father. No matter what happened in the past, you're still his father."
So he didn't have to be careful, nor did he have to feel that he was inferior to the child. He was Lucas's father, so he had the right to spoil Lucas and discipline him.
The man couldn't calm down for a long time. He was very touched. "Thank you for giving birth to him for me, Evelyn. I will never let you down again in my life."
He didn't forget that everything he had now was brought by Evelyn taking the risk.
Hearing this, she almost burst into tears. "It's good that you know."
They hugged each other quietly for a moment and Evelyn cared for the child. She let go of him and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Go back. Be careful on the way back."
He turned his face away and let out a deep breath. He didn't want her to see his red-rimmed eyes. "Okay, I'll wait for you to come up before I leave."
Hearing her words, Lucy knew what was going on, so she didn't ask any more questions. "Sit down and have a rest. I'll fry beef steak tonight."
"Mom, don't bother. Just cook two dishes." Evelyn was afraid that she would be tired. After all, she was not as young as she had been five years ago.
Lucy waved her hand and said, "Don't bother. Lucas wants to eat it if you don't."
"..." Evelyn raised her hand and gently poked Lucas on the forehead. "Look at you, you're more doted on than me."
Lucas also had a sweet mouth and immediately kissed Lucy's face. "Grandma, you're the best!"
Lucy and Ben laughed happily, "Lucas, you're so sensible!"
Looking at the harmonious scene in front of him and thinking of how Lucas had called Huston dad just now, the balance in his heart wavered. This time, it was not tilted or leaving, but staying.
