As a soldier, Byron Hallock had to fulfill his sacred duty.
Years ago, even when he decided to retire, the forceful opposition from Summer Gardner made him stay in the army.
However, this does not mean that Summer was unhappy or miserable.
Because he treasured their relationship, over the years, he had always lavished her with affection.
As a father, Byron Hallock also wished his daughter could find such a love.
Because, it is this kind of love that would give them the strength to persevere, to overcome all difficulties and hardships.
He loved Ivana Bennett, and for Ivana, he would do anything as a father.
But, one day, inevitably, he would grow old, fall ill, and leave this world...
He couldn't protect his little princess forever. Thus, he had to choose someone capable and willing to protect her... to stand in his place and in Summer... and continue protecting their precious little princess.
This... was the real reason he was considering Lucas Walker!
