"Who is he to you?" Izack asked, pointing at Hiro. At least a child wouldn't lie or interrupt him.
Jin glanced up at his father, unsure what to say. Hiro had strictly told him never to reveal who his father was.
The child lowered his head, words failing him, his mind blank.
Seeing his son like that, Hiro inhaled sharply before sighing.
"He is my son."
Jin's face lit up instantly. He didn't need to lie. His father had acknowledged him as his son. His heart raced, and he grabbed a piece of the carrot he hated, hoping his father would let him proudly declare to the world whose son he was.
"Then his mother—"
"She left. Now, I would appreciate it if you kept quiet and focused on eating," Hiro interrupted sharply.
Izack nodded, lowering his gaze. Perhaps he should have stayed quiet. Still, at least now he had a new piece of information.
He curled his lips into a faint smile.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Izack."
