Jake looked up and glanced at Michael, obviously still resistant. He had approved of Michael as his father previously, but Michael had created trouble again. Jake examined Wendy from head to toe but did not find anything unusual about her.
Before he arrived, Jake had mentally prepared himself because he assumed that something big must have happened in Rheinsville City, or Michael would not have asked them to come.
But nothing seemed to be wrong. Jake was confused. But it was good that Wendy was fine. Jake only cared about his mother and sister. As long as his mother and sister were fine, nothing else mattered.
"Wendy, don't force Jake. Let him take his time," Michael spoke up for Jake. "We have many more years to come. One day, I will eventually hear him call me Daddy willingly."
Wendy let a small sigh of resignation. Jake saw some disappointment on Wendy's face and he wanted to make her happy. So he opened his mouth and said, "Daddy."
