Ethan looked down at Benjamin, his eyes unreadable.

He didn’t say a word.

Benjamin blinked, but he didn’t seem the least bit scared. “Are you waiting for my Mommy to play with you? That’s impossible. Every time she comes here to see Daddy, they always hide. in the room and talk in private. Nobody else gets to join.”

Ethan was left speechless.

“I am telling the truth!”

Benjamin thought he didn’t believe him, so he spoke even more earnestly, standing on tiptoe and covering his mouth with his hand as if it were a secret. “Even I’m not allowed in. Mommy loves me the most, but even I can’t go in.”

The message was clear.

My Mommy loves me more than anyone. If I’m not allowed in, you definitely have no chance.

Ethan’s handsome face seemed shadowed by a cloud, a storm brewing deep in his eyes.

He let Benjamin tug him to the living room couch, where the boy immediately launched into a string of questions.

“Which superhero do you like best? Do you know Spider–Man?”

“Do you know the difference between Spider–Man and Iron Man?”

“Are you a superhero?”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

For a second, Ethan didn’t know how to respond

He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to clear his mind. When he opened them again, he found Benjamin’s big, curious face staring right at him.

Benjamin tilted his head, his little voice full of curiosity. “Hmm?”

Ethan took a deep breath and picked him up, secting the boy on his lap.

“Alright, let me ask you something.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Your … Mommy.” He seemed to struggle with the word.

Ethan hesitated, then asked, “Is she really your Mommy?”

“Of course! Who else would she be?” Benjamin pouted. “She’s my real Mommy. She loves me most!”

Ethan stared at that little face. “How old are you?

“That’s none of your business!”

Benjamin’s rebellious streak came out in full force as he pulled his hand free.

He stood up, his big round eyes full of wisdom well beyond his years. “Let me tell you, just because you’re handsome doesn’t mean you can steal my Mommy away. My Daddy’s handsome, too. And he’s way cooler than you! You don’t stand a chance!”

Whatever else Benjamin said, Ethan didn’t catch a word.

His gaze went blank, fixed on the boy like he was sinking into a whirlpool.

She’d been gone for more than three years. Every time she came back, she brought him a new shock.

Her identity. The child.

This child…

He looked to be about three, and he was obviously healthy and well taken care of.

Maybe he was even a little bigger than most kids his age, so it was possible he was only two and a half.

Was this really her and that man’s child?

Ethan sucked in a breath, his chest tight with a strange ache.

“Mr. Jackson.”

He looked up.

Dawn had been standing in the kitchen doorway holding a plate of food. Her delicate face and the simple white dress, paired with those house slippers, made her look every bit the gentle, sunny wife.

She smiled. “Aidan only made some home–cooked dishes, so don’t be picky.

“You can go wash up for dinner now. Benjamin, take Ethan to the bathroom and wash your hands.”

With Dawn around, Benjamin was always the most obedient. He agreed right away, grabbing Ethan’s hand and pulling him along.

The bathroom was filled with matching toothbrushes and towels with cute couples designs.

“Do you like these?”

Benjamin noticed Ethan staring and thought he wanted them. “If you like them, I’ll ask Daddy to give you some. We have lots! Mommy says we should always be welcoming.”

Ethan snorted. “That’s not necessary.”

“Oh, never mind. If I give them to you, then Mommy won’t have hers. So nope.”

Benjamin wasn’t tall enough to wash his hands, so he pulled over a stool, but he almost slipped as he climbed up.

Such a simple task seemed tough for him, but he didn’t ask for help.

Just as he was about to fall, Ethan instinctively caught him, pulling him close.

The little boy wrapped his arms around Ethan’s neck without thinking.

The move was full of trust and warmth.

“Ethan, don’t let go! I’m scared!”

Looking at the boy’s flushed face, Ethan felt his cold heart suddenly soften.

He couldn’t explain the feeling. It bothered him.

How could he feel soft toward someone else’s child?

It was absurd.

“Hey!”

Benjamin found himself suddenly lifted and placed down gently. He stared, wide–eyed. “Ethan, did you just make me fly?”

A vein throbbed on Ethan’s forehead. He said, voice low, “Let’s go eat.”

Ethan sighed, picked him up, washed his hands, and carried him back to the dining room.

Dawn had already set the table. When she looked up and saw Ethan bringing Benjamin in like a toy, his expression dark as ever, she couldn’t help but smile.
