Daniel didn’t suddenly start calling him “Dad,” and Michael never asked him to.
The issue of the apartment has also been resolved. Michael legally transferred to Daniel all the rights he could claim.
“I’ve already lost enough years because of that property,” he said. “I don’t want to lose my son because of her.”
The old clock brought them back together.
Almost a year later, I entered the kitchen and found them repairing an old wooden clock together. Michael was showing Daniel how to remove the back panel.
“You could have told me on the first night that you knew how to fix it,” Daniel joked.
“Your wife was already suspicious enough by then,” Michael replied with a smile.
He was right. From the first moment, I felt that an unknown man did not accidentally appear in our lives.
For nearly 30 years, he tried to find his way back to his son.
