Even though he said that, Father Xiao didn't believe the excuse Xiao Jin gave. He was sure his eldest son must be thinking about something else, but out of respect for his son, Father Xiao had no intention of asking forcefully.
"Got it."
Xiao Jin smiled and nodded.
The next day.
As agreed, Xiao Jin took Jian to meet Austin at a hotel. To make it convenient for Austin and Jian to spend time together as father and son, Xiao Jin handed Jian over to Austin. After a few polite words, he left on his own.
"Do you still remember Daddy?"
In the hotel room, Austin sat next to Jian, his gaze soft as he looked at the young boy in front of him. This was his son. Compared to when they'd parted, Jian had clearly grown a lot, yet no matter how he looked, Jian's features still closely resembled Austin's.
When Jian heard Austin's words, he first shook his head, then nodded. He said, "I remember, but it's blurry."
"Are you happy living with your mom?"
