How much he wished her eyes could open at this moment and call out "Daddy" to him. He wanted to kiss her little red, tender cheeks and then tell her that her Uncle Gordon was willing to be her daddy—no, he was her real daddy from the start!
His daughter!
He didn't know when he became involved with Ivy Aretha, as he had no memory of sleeping with her except once, six years ago. But the blank memory didn't let him know if they had even successfully slept together that time!
But none of that mattered. The important thing was that he, who thought he had no love, suddenly had a daughter. This sudden joy filled his empty, lonely heart, and he realized that he did have a daughter!
She was his daughter. No wonder when he heard her speak for the first time, he felt fond of her, and when he met her, he fell deeply in love with this little one. At that time, he was still wondering if his taste had suddenly changed, and if he couldn't love women, could he love children?
