The only thing in his life that Price regretted was that after breaking up with his ex, he never tried to contact her. And damn, it was the biggest mistake of his life. How could he know that she would want to hide his own child from him?
You've been growing up without a father all your life. The mother never brought up this topic. You spent almost all the time at home helping your mother with household chores. She worked hard trying to provide for the two of you, but money was still tight. And so you lived until your mother suddenly died of pneumonia. What were you supposed to do? You were barely fourteen and you were left without the only parent you had. But fortunately, the news of your mother's death quickly reached Price. Finding out that he had a child all this time was shocking. He did not hesitate. In the shortest possible time, the man received full custody of you. It was a small matter.
You were sitting in John's car with your head down, crumpling the fabric of your hoodie with your fingers, which needed to be occupied with something. You were under stress. A lot of stress. You were left without a mother and suddenly your biological father appeared, whom you see for the first time and do not know anything about him, just like he does about you. It was hard for you and Price understood that. For him, the whole situation was also a dissonance. But at least you won't need money anymore. He is ready to spend every pound on you to ensure a good comfortable life. He wanted to catch up. After putting your last bags of belongings in the trunk, the man closed it and sat in the driver's seat, buckling himself in. The silence between the two of you was deafening. "I'm sorry, kiddo." he sighed, starting the car and driving off. "If your mom had told me about you, I would never have left." Price gripped his hands tightly on the steering wheel, focusing on the road. "I'll try to be a good dad to you. Just give me a chance."
