When he was young, he and Hudson often followed Sofia and horsed around.
Sofia was famous for her beauty in the village with a gracefully slim figure and beautiful face. As the prettiest girl in
the village, she had made quite a name for herself in the town.
Zeke had a crush on Sofia when he was in school and even wrote a love letter to her.
But he gave up after the confession made her so mad that she beat him up.
If Sofia was really married to Joshua, it would really be like casting pearls before swine.
Leaving his appearance aside, Joshua was nearly twenty years older than Sofia was.
Not only would Kyle and Olivia not agree to it, but Zeke would also not agree to it. After all, she was his first love.
He strode into the living room. “Hi, Dad, Mom, I'm back.”
Zeke decided to call them 'Dad' and 'Mom' despite the absence of a formal ceremony.
However, Kyle and Olivia were baffled by the form of address he used.
After they finally recognized who Zeke was, they were immediately overcome with emotion.
Olivia hurriedly walked up to Zeke, and grabbed his hand, weeping with joy. “Zeke, you're finally back. You left
without telling us after graduation and didn't come back all these years. Don't you know how worried Kyle and I
were?”

Not only would Kyle ond Olivio not ogree to it, but Zeke would olso not ogree to it. After oll, she wos his first love.

grown taller. I remember you were at my shoulder height back then, but you're a foot taller than I am now. This is
so great.”
Zeke was so moved that a lump formed in his throat.
Although he wasn't related to them by blood, the relationship they shared was much better than that of blood-
related family members.
It turns out that I've always had a home all these years.
It feels so great to have a family who cares about me.
He fought back the tears and said, “I joined the army after I left, so I couldn't contact the outside world. I've now
made a name for myself, so I come back to bring both of you back to my home to live with me.”
Olivia heaved a sigh. “Alas, Zeke, we've heard about your situation. You don't need to comfort us. Don't worry,
we're not very old and can make a living ourselves. You should stop messing around out there and come back. Kyle
