Yosef’s lips curled into a cold timirk, his icy gare locked into the two of the
with unoravering interdity.
He stayed silent, like a stalking lion, poised to strike the monent his prey let its guard down
Skylar’s mind was a mess. Not wanting to face Yosef any longer, she grabbed Victor by this ann
Adam wanted to follow them out, but after thinking it over, he stayed
and pulled him away
“Mom’s already with Uncle Victor. If I go too, Dad will be left all alone. That would be so sad, Adam thought.
Though Adam’s heart ached for his dad, watching Yosef stubbornly dig his own grave left him feeling helpless and frustrated.
Adam let out a heavy, frustrated sigh and said, “Why can’t you ever get things right? Dad, why did you have to fight with Uncle Victor
“Great, just great. What was already hard mode has now leveled up to nightmare difficulty.”
Yosef, who had been sulking just a moment ago, crouched down as soon as he heard his son’s words and urgently gripped Adam’s shoulders. “What ad you say?
“Wait, Caden is your uncle? For real or are you joking?”
Adam wrinkled his little nose at his dad, who was acting strangely. “How can an uncle be fake?”
“So, Caden is really your mom’s brother?”
“Yup.”
Yosef’s fury evaporated instantly, replaced by waves of elation.
Yosef thought, a wave of relief washing over him, ‘So she and Caden weren’t actually together after all. What about her and Blake?
Yosef hesitantly asked his son, “Adam, do you know how many older brothers your mom has?”
Adam thought back to what his grandma had told him, then held up,three little fingers. “I think there are three?”
Yosef’s joy kept growing. He asked eagerly, “What about Blake…”
“He is my uncle as well,” Adam chirped.
Yosef broke into a knowing smile.
He said, “Now it all makes sense…”
Adam tilted his head curiously. “Dad, what makes sense?”
“I always thought Blake and Caden were romantically involved with your mom. Turns
outl
I got it all wrong, no wonder she was so angry just now.”
Adam was completely confused. ‘What on earth is bad talking about? I don’t understand a word of this,‘ he thought
But then, Yosef’s face tensed up instantly.
He thought, ‘Damn, I just punched my brother–in–law.
‘Victor already doesn’t like me. Now he’ll definitely hold a grudge and make trouble for me behind my back.”
Yosef pressed his lips together, realizing how rash he’d just been.

“Dad?” Adam called out several times, but got no response. Growing anxious, he finally shouted with all his might. “Dad”
Yosel snapped out of his thoughts, gently ruffling his son’s hair. “What is it, buddy?”
“So, what’s your plan now, Dad?”
“I’ll apologize.” Whether they would accept it or not, he needed to show his sincerity first.
Adam said, “Dad, if you want to apologize properly, you should get Mom something she’ll really like. Want me to go spy on her and find out what she wants?”
Yosef asked thoughtfully, “Do you know what Mom likes?”
Adam giggled, “Mommy loves Adam best!“.
Yosef smiled wryly. “Other than you, kid.”
Adam bit his lip. “Mom doesn’t really like anything special.”
He asked, “Wait, aren’t we supposed to apologize to Uncle Victor?”
Yosef said, “Dad made Mom angry, too, so I have to apologize to both of them.”
Adam tilted his head at a 45–degree angle and gazed skyward with a dramatic sigh. “Dad, honestly, I don’t think you have much chance of winning Mom back.”
Yosef covered Adam’s mouth and said with a smile, “Enough with the nonsense.”
Adam sighed inwardly again and again.
‘With Dad being this clueless, who knows when he’ll ever win Mom back, it’ll probably take forever,’ he thought to himself.
Adam cupped his cheeks in his hands, his little face clouded with worry.
Yosef chuckled, “What’s with all the sighing at your age, little man?”
Adam glanced at his dad, lips pressed together as if he wanted to say something, but kept hesitating again and again.
