Logan wasn’t sure how he should explain things to his father, so he waved his hand to dismiss the topic altogether.
Now that they were over that topic, they had nothing else to talk about. Thus, Logan’s father turned to focus on his
meal, whereas Logan sat back on the sofa as if deep in thought, which made him appear both silent and steadfast
in contrast to his usual self.
After his father was finished eating, Logan helped to move the utensils away from the table. His father stared at
him before cutting to the chase. “Do you have something that you want to tell me? You sure don’t seem like
yourself today.”
Logan put the utensils away before plopping down on the sofa. “I did have questions for you initially, but now, I
don’t think it’ll be much help asking you. You have been single for such a long time, so you won’t have anything of

What Logan said irked his father, so the latter shot him a glare. “Get the f*ck out of here! How dare you mock me,
you sh*tty brat?”
Seeing that his father seemed to be feeling well enough, Logan was somewhat reassured. Stretching himself,
Logan went on to say, “You can always turn around if you don’t want to see me. I will only be staying for a while as I
have other things to do. When it’s almost time, I won’t stay even if you want me to.”
His father was already used to his disobedience. After catching his breath on the bed, he got down from it to loosen
up by the window. In the meantime, Logan was somehow reminded of something, so he asked cheerfully, “Did you
and Mom share a lovely relationship back then?”
Logan almost never spoke about his mother. With narrowed eyes, the old man spent a long time pondering on the
question as it had been such a long time since he hadn’t had his wife with him, so his memory of their relationship
had faded. After a while, he let out a chuckle. “Well, we didn’t start off with any sort of relationship back then.”
He married his wife because he was told to.
After giving birth to four daughters, his wife was feeling a little guilty for not being able to bear him a son, until she
finally gave birth to one. However, she didn’t live long enough to be able to see her son get married. Although he
used to want to find himself another wife, caring for five children proved too difficult a task for anyone. Later on, he
shifted his focus to his career. Eventually, he gave up on his thought to find himself another wife, as he figured
having five children around him was enough of a distraction, so he no longer needed a partner. After some thought,
Logan asked, “How do you feel whenever you think of my mother?” Before his father could answer though, Logan
asked another question. “I met someone that makes me feel happy and energized just by thinking about her. Do

you think this indicates that I love her?” His father assumed he was simply talking about his girlfriend, so he didn’t
think too much about it. After brooding on the subject, he replied to Logan’s first question, “Your mother was gone
for so long that even memories of her feels alien to me.” Then, he continued, “However, now that I recall
memories of our days together, I feel blissful despite some of the rough patches that we went through. If life would
give me a second chance, I would marry her again.” After saying so, he turned to look at Logan. “You sure have a
lot of questions today. Are you feeling confused over something? You should spit it out without beating around the
bush. Stop being such a drag.” Upon hearing what his father said, Logan scratched his head while smiling. “I do
have somewhat of a mental blockage when it comes to this one thing. There is someone that I used to dislike a lot,
but I find myself feeling attracted to her as of late. What do you think this means? I feel pleasant whenever I think
of her, but is this what love feels like? I am afraid of confusing it with something else.” .
