Behind The Spotlight Chapter 93
"It's me, your Dad. I'm Axel. Did your mother not tell you about me?" Axel asked in a gentle tone, hoping to spark even a flicker of recognition or memory in the child's expression.
Considering that John was only two years old when Axel and Cynthia separated, it was understandable that he didn't remember much about his father. Memories at that age were fragile, fleeting and often lost with time.
"You're my Dad?"
John frowned and looked Axel over from head to toe. Axel was dressed in simple attire, but the branding was unmistakable. Despite his casual appearance, the quality of the fabric clearly marked it as designer clothing.
The car he was driving also looked brand new. On top of that, Axel was wearing an expensive-looking watch, a gift from a luxury sponsor. The watch was probably the most expensive thing on his body, and it gleamed subtly under the sunlight.
This didn't go unnoticed by Johnny. Even at a young age, he had developed a sharp sense of observation. Growing up poor had trained him to notice every detail that mattered.
"So you're saying you're my Dad?"
"I am. I've been looking for you and your mom for years. Have you been doing okay? How about we go to the hospital and get your bruises checked?" Axel asked with concern, trying to keep his voice steady even as emotion welled inside him.
