After dinner, Ayaan immediately pulled Brendon to help him fix the toy train, while asional happy cries from the children’s room could be heard.


    The little one even ran out to share his joy, “Mommy, Uncle Stuart is so amazing! He helped me fix the toy train!”


    Ranita replied helplessly, “Hmm, remember to say thank you to him.”


    Ranita had no idea that Brendon could still fix toy trains!


    “Want some juice?”


    “Yes! And a cup for Uncle Stuart too!” The little one ran back excitedly. Ranita prepared a ss of juice for the little one and thought that Brendon deserved some credit too, so she kindly prepared a cup of coffee for him.


    In the children’s room, the toy train was chugging along on its tracks while the little one opened up his newly bought encyclopedia and pointed at a page asking, “Uncle Stuart, do you know how lightning is formed?”


    The little one shared his newfound knowledge with wide eyes, “The book says when positive and negative charges umte enough in clouds, there will be huge shes…”


    Brendon looked at the densely packed words in the encyclopedia and suddenly realized how intelligent this child was, “You can understand this?”


    “Mommy said she’s an expert trantor so mynguage talent is pretty good… so it’s normal for me to understand these letters.” The chubby child replied confidently.


    “But I’m still thinking about what positive and negative charges are…”


    Brendon watched as he seriously exined it all to this chubby person who was deep in thought.


    “Wow! That sounds cool!”


    “Yes! I think it’s really cool too!” After Brendon finished speaking, he pretended to be clueless and asked, “Do you know how thunder is formed?”


    Ayaan widened his eyes and exined happily, “The book says it’s a shockwave produced when particles are heated to 5, 500 degrees Celsius. It’s very interesting, but I still don’t know what a shockwave is.”


    “Do you know, Uncle Stuart?”


    “I know a little bit…”


    They chatted for a while, and the little one asked more and more “why” questions… He kept asking and asking. Although Brendon had some knowledge of physics, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t answer all the technical questions.


    Brendon had to change the topic. “Ayaan, let’s talk about something else.”


    “Okay, Uncle Stuart, what do you want to talk about?” After a pause, the little one suddenly sounded a bit dejected. “Uncle Stuart, you’re so amazing, just like my dad. But you’re really not my dad, right?”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    “Ayaan… I…” Brendon’s heart was filled with tenderness. He hadn’t thought about how to interact with a child, so when he first found out that Ayaan was his child, he was at a loss.


    Shock, anger, and more than anything else, confusion.


    But now, it seemed like a good thing if he was Ayaan’s father.


    “Ayaan, if, and I mean if… I am your…” Brendon didn’t get to finish his sentence when Ayaan suddenly shook his head. “Uncle Stuart, even though I think you’re a lot like my dad, I can’t ept you as my dad! I’ve already decided to find a new dad for Mommy!”


    “Why?” Brendon couldn’t catch his breath and felt like smacking this little rascal.


    “Because you’re too simr to my hero firefighter dad, and I’m afraid Mommy will be sad!” After a pause, the little one suddenly leaned against Brendon and whispered in his ear, “Uncle, I’ll tell you a secret!”


    Brendon lowered his voice and asked, “What is it?”


    The little one mysteriously said, “There’s a picture of my dad in Mommy’s wallet.”
