"Bella... I'm doing this for Dax. Don't you realize he needs a man figure in his life!?"
Bella's hands slowly clenched when she heard that. She couldn't say anything because she agreed with him.
Old Donovan continued, "You can see how quickly Dax became friendly with me. We just looked at each other; he immediately opened up to me. At first, I was amazed, but later, I realized he needed a figure man to chat with. To play with and learn."
Bella was a little surprised. He knew this because they lived in a remote village in Northern Sweden, and no neighbors were around Dax's age. He spends his time just with Noora and her.
Now, Bella understood why Dax showed his warm expression more often whenever Sean visited them.
"So, don't think about other people who are not important in your life, but just focus and think about Dax, your son," Old Donovan said. "Do you understand what I mean, right?"
"Y-Yes."
