Months passed. Seeing Kenneth's success—and more importantly, seeing the joy in Nicole's eyes—Benjamin's frozen heart began to thaw. He realized that by trying to "protect" Nicole's status, he had almost lost the only family he had left.
He showed up at their small apartment with a box of Aria's favourite toys and a formal invitation to dinner. No bodyguards, no threats. Just a father asking for forgiveness.
"I was wrong," Benjamin admitted over a humble meal. "In Malaysia, I looked at the bank account. In Taiwan, I see the man. You're a better father than I was, Kenneth."
