As Sultan turned three years old, Caitlin planned a surprise birthday party for him. Upon his return from school, he reveled in the celebration alongside Grace and his mother.

His excitement soared upon seeing the beautifully crafted cake prepared for him. Caitlin was overjoyed to witness his happiness and had showered him with a plethora of toys as gifts. Mrs. Grace also contributed many delightful presents for him.

Sultan let out a squeal of delight as he unwrapped the Mattel toy dinosaur. His long-standing wish for a T-Rex had finally come true, and the menacing-looking creature delighted him.

Unable to get the little boy out of his mind, Kane made the decision to visit him at school. His plan involved discreetly following Caitlin as she escorted Sultan to school, allowing him to slip in during playtime.

The next day, Caitlin escorted Sultan to school. They got into a taxi and departed, while nearby, Kane sat inside a black Tesla. Opting to drive solo this time, he followed the taxi at a safe distance.

Upon arrival at the school, Caitlin accompanied Sultan to his classroom. After sharing some heartfelt moments with her son, she bid him goodbye and left. Meanwhile, Kane waited in his car until it was time for the children's play break.

When playtime arrived, he entered the school playground to locate Sultan. The female staff members in the vicinity were taken aback when they spotted him. His striking appearance caught their attention, and they couldn't resist staring at him in admiration.

"Look at that handsome man! I wonder why he's here. He's the most attractive man I've ever seen!" remarked one staff member, gazing at him with a dreamy expression.

"Maybe he has a child here. Oh, I wish he would just notice me!"

After scanning the surroundings for a moment, Kane felt a ball hit his foot. Turning around, he saw Sultan approaching to retrieve his ball. As Sultan neared him and looked up at the tall man standing before him, he recognized Kane as the person his mother had scolded the other day. Kane offered a slight smile, picked up the ball, and then slowly moved towards Sultan to return it. However, Sultan stepped back. Despite his usual openness to kindness, witnessing his mother's reaction made him cautious of Kane, fearing he might be a harmful person.

"It's okay. I won't harm you. Come and take it," Kane reassured Sultan.

Sultan glanced at the ball and then back at Kane. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively approached Kane, took the ball, and received a smile from him. Kane found Sultan so charming, noticing a strong resemblance between them that almost brought tears to his eyes. However, he composed himself and stood up straight.

"What is your name?" 

"Sultan," he whispered in his sweet voice.

"Sultan..." Kane smiled. "Such an awesome name. Your mother must love you very much."

As memories of his own mother flooded his mind, he couldn't help but smile.

"Yes! Mommy loves me!" Sultan beamed, and Kane smiled back.

"Have you had anything to eat?"

"Yes! My mom always packs me lunch."

After scanning the area for a moment, Kane noticed a snack bar.

"Wait here," he said before heading to the snack bar. There, he purchased a delicious chocolate ice cream and returned to Sultan.

"Here, have this."

Sultan gazed at the ice cream for a moment.

"But I'm not hungry."

"It's just ice cream. Please take it," Kane said as he crouched down before Sultan, offering him the ice cream. Sultan looked at it for a moment before accepting it with a smile.

"Thank you, sir!" he exclaimed with a bright smile, eagerly devouring the ice cream.

Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of playtime.

"I have to go now. It was great meeting you, Sultan," Kane said with a smile, gently touching Sultan's left cheek.

"Will you come back?" Sultan asked with a hint of sadness.

"Yes, I will," Kane replied, smiling as Sultan returned the smile. He waved goodbye to Sultan as the boy ran off to his class. Kane watched him depart before leaving himself.

As he settled into his car, a sense of happiness and fulfillment washed over him. He had finally seized the opportunity to interact with his son. However, his joy was tinged with a sudden pang of sadness.

He felt saddened by the realization that Caitlin would never forgive him, and he would not be able to be with his son. Determined to make the most of the situation, he resolved to come every day during recess to spend time with Sultan.

Sultan had contemplated informing his mother about the man who had approached him at school that day, but the fear of facing her wrath once more deterred him from sharing, prompting him to keep the encounter a secret.

The following day, during recess, Sultan emerged into the school garden only to discover the same man seated on a bench. Flashing a grin, the man greeted Sultan and approached him.

"You're here!" he exclaimed, and Sultan returned the smile.

"I told you I'd keep my promise. How are you? How's your mother?"

"Mummy's fine…" Sultan mumbled shyly as Kane assisted him in settling onto the bench for their conversation.

Kane treated Sultan to an ice cream, getting one for himself as well, and entertained Sultan with silly faces while they both enjoyed their treats. Sultan couldn't help but giggle.

"You look so funny eating ice cream!" he laughed.

"Really? how?" He asked as he stuck his tongue out to lick the ice cream. Sultan laughed again and he chuckled.

"Is it that funny? I only stuck my tongue out."

"You look really funny!" he giggled and Kane smiled. He felt so much warmth in his heart being with his son and he had never felt such kind of love towards anyone before. It was a fatherly love and it felt amazing. 

Kane counted numbers with his fingers and Sultan listened attentively. He also placed his little hands on his and it felt so amazing to hold the little boy's hand.

"Your hands are really big!" He said dramatically.

"Really?" Kane chuckled.

"My hands are so small." he beamed.

"Well, I'm an adult, so my hands should be big."

"But mummy's hands are small!" Sultan argued.

Kane chuckled softly, his smile tinged with sadness. Each time Sultan brought up his mother, Caitlin, it stirred a painful ache in Kane's heart. He found himself wishing more than ever that he had never harmed her, regretting deeply the terrible things he had done.

"Why did Mommy hit you like that, sir?" 

Sultan asked suddenly, causing Kane to pause and let out a sigh.

"Your mother doesn't have much fondness for me..." he began.

"I'm sorry if it hurts," Sultan said with a look of concern, his eyes pleading, which touched Kane deeply.

"It's not your fault... It's mine. I've been a terrible person," Kane confessed sadly.

"No, you're not. You're very kind and funny!" Sultan beamed, his admiration shining through, enchanted by Kane's intelligence and his articulate manner at such a young age.

"Really?"

"Yes! I wish you were my daddy."

Kane's heart broke as he looked at the little boy, who appeared profoundly sad.

"I don't have a daddy, and I don't know why. Mommy won't tell me anything," Sultan confessed, his eyes welling up with tears. Kane felt a wave of sorrow wash over him. Without hesitation, he pulled Sultan into his embrace, holding him tightly and providing comfort, and Sultan felt a sense of security in the arms of this man.

"Can I call you daddy?" Sultan asked suddenly, a bright smile breaking through his sadness. Kane was taken aback by the request but responded with a gentle smile and a nod.

"Of course, you can," he said softly. Sultan's face lit up with joy, and he threw his arms around Kane in another hug. Kane beamed with happiness as he held Sultan close.

Meanwhile, a teacher had seen them hugging and grew suspicious. She decided to keep a close watch on them, pondering the relationship between this man and Caitlin's son. Was there something more to their bond? Driven by curiosity, she felt the urge to dig deeper and unravel the mystery.
