Melody Monroe was coming down the stairs when she heard Evan Fairchild and Ian Monroe discussing this very topic. She immediately stopped in her tracks.
Ian was holding Bunny, about to walk out, when he suddenly saw the figure standing on the stairs.
"Mom," Ian called out.
Melody walked down the stairs to Ian's side, glanced in Evan's direction, and then crouched down to be at eye level with her son.
"Ian, Mom never told you, but Mr. Fairchild is actually your dad." She still had no idea that Ian had known about this for a long time.
The father and son had been hiding it from her all along.
"Does Mom want me to accept him as my dad?" Ian still cared most about his mother's opinion.
"Of course Mom wants you to have Mr. Fairchild as your dad. You must have felt how much he cares for you and dotes on you, right?"
"Okay." Ian nodded. "From now on, I'll call him Dad."
A smile appeared on Melody's face as she gently pinched Ian's little cheek. "You're such a good boy, Ian."
