But when he thought about what Mommy said the other day, that Uncle had a girlfriend, and those mistresses on TV were so awful, he couldn't let Mommy be the mistress, so even though this "stepdad" was perfect, he still couldn't accept him.
Right then, he looked up at Adam Jones, his expression grave, and said, "Uncle, you're not my stepdad yet, so please don't call me your son. If this gets out, it will look bad."
People would say his Mommy was a mistress.
Adam Jones, finding himself at a loss for words with laughter and tears, was addressed in such a mature tone by his son about the "bad influence" of it all.
Suddenly, he realized something, his brow furrowing, he asked, "If you're not my son, then whose son are you?"
William Campbell raised his chin proudly, looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and told Adam, "Of course, whoever Mommy marries, I'm that person's son."
