Wyatt Barnes knew deep down that his mother and his adoptive father, who had been separated for many years, must have had a lot to say to each other...
So, he sensibly left the backyard so as not to disturb them.
"I never thought I'd just casually accept this 'dad'..."
Reflecting on the recent events in the Barnes family, Wyatt still found it somewhat difficult to understand and believe.
In that moment, he had inexplicably called Lanni Barnes 'Dad' before he even had time to react.
"Maybe this is what they call 'the ties of blood'."
An idea flickered in Wyatt's mind, he thought to himself.
Regardless, he was happy that Lanni Barnes had returned.
Not for his own sake.
He was already accustomed to his current life, and whether his adoptive father returned or not didn't make much difference to him.
He was happy for his mother.
Over the years, his mother had suffered much to raise him, a lone woman with no one to rely on. One can only imagine the hardships she'd endured.
