The siblings felt that they might be a little uncomfortable at first.
Suddenly, they had a new family member, one who was supposed to be their stepfather. It would feel odd calling him Uncle Ted or Dad.
They seemed to reach the same thought simultaneously.
Charles was the first to speak up. "I don't mind it. When acting, I've called people younger than me Dad, Father, or even Grandpa. As long as Mom is happy, I can call him Dad."
Steven replied, "I'll call him Uncle Ted."
Skylar found herself at a loss for words. Uncle Ted seemed manageable, but to refer to Ted as Dad might be too much for her.
Charles then added, "I just hope he's a good person. If he truly cares about Mom, I could even accept it if he's 15 or 16 years younger than her. Plus, older women dating younger men is trending now."
Skylar replied, "I'm fine with it too."
After that, Steven said, "I have work to do. If there are any updates, let me know in the group. Let's not tell Harvey about this yet.
"He's young and impulsive, which might mess things up. The three of us can figure things out rationally, but he might struggle to accept this right now."
Skylar and Charles both agreed.
After discussing it with her brothers, Skylar started looking into Ted's background.
What she found surprised her. Ted was no ordinary person. He owned multiple buildings, including some iconic landmarks in Jipsburg. He even designed many of those himself.
In other words, the idea of him being a gold digger clearly didn't fit. Ted seemed more like a big shot.
Skylar spent the entire afternoon thinking about this matter. In the evening, she shared her findings with Joe.
