"I'll just go change first, and then we can head over to your house," Jane said with a warm smile as she gestured for Nathan to take a seat on the sofa. She ascended the staircase, leaving Nathan in the cozy living room. VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

As Nathan found himself alone, an unexpected presence made itself known as Mr. Hiroshi emerged from his hiding spot. It turned out that the old man had been discreetly observing their interactions. He approached Nathan and joined him in the living room, a sense of purpose in his demeanor.

Mr. Hiroshi cleared his throat, signaling his desire for a private conversation with Nathan. "While we wait for my daughter, would you mind accompanying me to the garden?"

Nathan nodded affirmatively, rising from his seat to follow Mr. Hiroshi. Together, they made their way through the house and into the garden, where they could converse in peace.

Standing side by side, Nathan and Mr. Hiroshi took in the serene beauty of the flower garden that surrounded them. It was Mr. Hiroshi who finally decided to break the silence, his voice carrying a tone of earnest concern.

"So, you're here to visit my eldest daughter, Jane, not Abigail," Mr. Hiroshi began, his gaze fixed on Nathan. "Allow me to be direct with you, Nathan. I'm here to inquire about your true intentions towards Jane. I don't want Jane to get hurt. Are you sincerely interested in her, or is this just a passing fancy?"

Mr. Hiroshi was aware of Nathan's previous feelings for Abigail and the difficulty of moving on from a heartbreak. He couldn't help but be worried that Nathan might merely be using Jane as a means to fill a void left by his past relationship.

In that silence, Mr. Hiroshi couldn't help but entertain a touch of envy for the two men who had captured the hearts of his daughters. The complexity of emotions coursing through him was undeniable as he navigated this new chapter in his daughters' lives.

Mr. Hiroshi let out a deep sigh, his voice tinged with a hint of wistfulness as he spoke candidly to Nathan, "Sigh. It's striking, isn't it? My daughters have truly become adults now. I find myself wondering if they still need me. I've been absent from their lives for several years, and I've missed out on witnessing their growth. That is my single greatest regret in life."

As he confided in Nathan, Mr. Hiroshi's tone carried a mixture of nostalgia and remorse. He was grappling with the sense of loss that often accompanies the passage of time, particularly when it comes to the profound changes in the lives of his beloved daughters.

Nathan gently reached out and gave Mr. Hiroshi's shoulder a reassuring tap, his eyes filled with empathy as he sought to console the father who was wrestling with his emotions. "You know, Mr. Hiroshi, your daughters, Jane and Abigail, have always longed for the day they could reunite with you. They cherish the idea of having you back in their lives," Nathan said with sincerity, his voice soft and comforting.

He continued, "Please don't be disheartened. Dave and I aren't here to take your daughters away from you. We're here to complement the love and care they receive from their father. Our intentions are to build a future where all of us, you included, can play a meaningful role in their lives. Your presence and guidance as their father are invaluable, and they treasure it deeply."

Nathan's words were meant to alleviate Mr. Hiroshi's worries, assuring him that their intentions were rooted in love and a desire for unity rather than separation.

Mr. Hiroshi could only give him a grateful look in his eyes. Nathan managed to console him and feel at ease with his comforting words.

Unknown to Nathan and her father, Jane had been discreetly eavesdropping on their heartfelt conversation. Her lips curled into a warm, affectionate smile as she observed Nathan's compassionate efforts to comfort her father. Witnessing this soft side of Nathan filled her heart with admiration, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

At that moment, Jane quietly commended Nathan in her own thoughts, her voice barely a murmur, "Hmm. I'm going to have to reward him later. He's such a sweet-talker." She let out a soft giggle.

As she contemplated how to express her appreciation to Nathan, Jane's heart swelled with affection for the man who had not only captured her heart but had also endeared himself to her father through his genuine care and understanding.
