What they yearned for was the same. That was all. However, at the moment, he simply wanted to live his life well under the name of Holden Payne. He wanted t o get along with Holden's family. From then on, they would be his family. While thinking of that, Holden could not help but turn his head back to glance at that old man who was eagerly looking at him.
The old man smiled at Holden. "My son..."
"Mister Ford, I have become Mister Sebastian's younger brother. You're Mister Sebastian's father, so if you don't mind, I'll also come to visit you often. Is that alright?" Holden said gently.
Since he had no loved ones anyway, it was a great thing to him for every additional loved one he got.
Sean shook his head and his tears instantly streamed down his face. "No, no, my son. You must be my son. You simply are my biological son."
Holden was speechless. He did not know what he should say. He did not mind being the old man's son, but deep in the old man's heart, the person he wanted was his biological son and not him, the son who had n o blood relations to him. Holden's thoughts were very clear. "I'm sorry, sir. I really am not your son. However, don't worry. I can be just like your son. I can take care of you, accompany you, and have a casual chat with you. What do you think? Is that alright?"
"Not alright!"
Holden was speechless.
"I only want my son! I want my son! I want my Holden! I had never given him any love as a father in this life. I want to love him properly. I only want my son.
Because the person that I've wronged is my biological son."
The old man kept rambling on as if he had been possessed, but also as if he had been senile. That made the person, who had just changed his name to Holden Payne, get caught in a pickle. He helplessly looked at Sean, and then he looked at Sabrina and Sebastian.
Before Sabrina and Sebastian said anything, Sean had already grabbed onto Holden's wrist. "Son, I know that you're blaming me and I know you hate me. That's why you're using this method to punish me, right? It's my fault! I'll apologize to you, and I'll use the remaining years to atone for my sins, alright? No matter what, you have to admit that you're my son. Look at you, your last name is Payne, and your name i s also Holden.You look exactly like my Holden. How could you not be Holden? Tell me, what other reasons can you give to escape from this?"
