Valentino's POV 

Dad stepped up to me and gave me a careful hug, holding me firmly but not too hard. I carefully encircled him with my hands as he rested his head on my chest. "Champ, you succeeded. Valentino, I knew you wouldn't disappoint us."

I said, "I'm sorry, Dad," and I closed my eyes to let the tears come out. "I'm so sorry, Dad, for everything I put you through."

"Valentino, don't say anything. He said, "I love you."

"I love you too, Dad."

"I know." Dad released me and straightened up while holding my hand. "Without you, life hasn't been the same. My life would be miserable without you; therefore, it's nice to have you back, son."

"I'm grateful, Dad. I have no intention of leaving anytime soon. "Hopefully, I'm here to stay," I smiled back at him.
