Chapter 809

Uncle Olsen acknowledged Keira's heartfelt "Dad" with a simple "Yeah."

That single word carried the depth of love and acceptance he felt from her, a love that had finally rooted itself deep within her heart.

This child, at long last, acknowledged him.

He patted her shoulder affectionately.

That night, father and daughter talked for hours. Most of the conversation revolved around Uncle Olsen asking questions and Keira answering.

He wanted to know everything—how she grew up, her favorite foods, her preferred colors, and every little detail.

Keira answered earnestly, her responses sincere and thoughtful.

Before they knew it, it was late into the night. Exhaustion overtook Keira, and they finally parted ways. She returned to her room, but just as she lay down, she found herself enveloped in Lewis's arms.
