Mommy, Where is Daddy?

Abigaile felt a lingering warmth that touches her heart upon seeing the Father and Son hugging each other. Enzo's smile was genuine. A father that yearned for his son for years and Tristan, who has been clueless about who his father was since childbirth, seeing the two is worth the confession.

Abigaile couldn't suppress her delight; after six years, Tristan had finally met his biological father, and the guilt that had been haunting her in her slumber was now alleviated.

"You did a great job, Sweetheart." Abigaile smiled upon hearing Nico behind her. He rested a

hand in her arms, and the people inside the restaurant, especially the women, couldn't help but have a sour face upon seeing a handsome gentleman beside her.

"Thank you, Nico, for guiding me to do what's right and for didn't leave me throughout the

process." Abigaile rested her head on Nico's chest.

"It's my pleasure," He said as he lifted her hand and kissed the back of it.

"Mommy! Look! I am Daddy's Mini-Version!" Abigaile immediately withdrew her hand from Nico's clasp and seemed astounded as she made a faint smile on Tristan; then, she met Enzo's stares.

"I have many questions to ask, but thank you for introducing me to our son." Enzo started with a glint of bliss in his eyes.

Abigaile puffed for air and spoke, "We can catch up soon, but for now, I wanted you to meet your son and have a moment with Tristan."

Enzo's expression brightened as he breathed in relief and stared at Tristan, "You heard it, little chump? Do you want to be with Daddy?"

Tristan jumped in glee and Exclaimed, "Yes, Daddy!"

Abigaile told Enzo their address so he could drop Tristan at home. Nico introduced himself, and the two formally shook hands. Still, Abigaile couldn't help but notice the uneasy

atmosphere between the two.

"Be a good boy to your Daddy Enzo, alright?" Abigaile reminded her son, Tristan.

"Yes, Mommy!" Tristan even made a salute stance that made Abigaile laugh for a moment.

For a moment, she remembers the resemblance between Enzo and Tristan in the past. However, it suddenly vanished when Nico called and guided her outside the restaurant.

On the other side, Enzo felt the cold sweat film his body as he stared at his son. He never thought he would have offspring with Abigaile, and Tristan suddenly happened. Enzo stared at his son for seconds until his tiny hand waved in front of him.

"Daddy! You seemed out in the space!" Tristan exclaimed and even gestured a weird movement like someone who had been floating in space.

Enzo laughed and messed with his son's hair before carrying Tristan. "Say, where do you wanna go First?"

Tristan put his little finger on his chin as if he was thinking, but the child frowned and confessed, "This was my first time here. I'm not familiar with the places, Daddy."

Enzo heaved a heavy sigh, placed his son inside his Jaguar, and put his seatbelt on, "Alright, Daddy will tour you around LA."

"Yay! This is the first time I will visit places with Daddy!" Tristan exclaimed in excitement as he even clapped his hands.

Enzo put his glasses on and started the engine of the car. First, he took Tristan to Griffith Park. From the slides to the swings, Tristan seemed to have fun while Enzo was there to

guide him. Enzo waited for his son to let himself slide on the children's playground, and Enzo would catch him when Tristan reached the end.

Then, the two had a great time in the merry-go-round. Enzo could perceive how happy Tristan was with his loud laughter and how he called him Daddy.

He didn't let any seconds pass. He toured his son around the Hollywood Sign, Universal Studios, and other destinations that suited Tristan's fancy. Enzo bought his son many toys

that were worth a thousand bucks. He didn't find it pricey; thus, whatever his son favors, he will instantly pay for it and seal it inside his car.

"Daddy! Look at how big those Lego toys are!" Tristan chirped. He stood beside the Lego that replicated the Ninjago cartoon and seemed to catch his son's interest. "Do you want to have it?" Enzo asked as he held out a hand to Tristan and his son took it.

"Can I, Daddy? Was it too pricey? You already bought me carts of toys, and Mommy will faint if she sees me having these toys." Tristan even gestured his hand on the five carts of toys that were aligned in front of the child.

Enzo cleared his throat while scratching his nape. Was he too excited that he overbought him those toys? Nevertheless, he just wanted to pamper his kid. He endeavored to make Tristan feel like he was with him despite those years that Enzo wasn't around to take

care of his child.

"It's Okay, son. Daddy will take care of the excuse. Get your Lego toys and put them inside the last cart. Then we will proceed to the counter." As Enzo instructed the staff to proceed on the counter, he told the manager that send those toys to his house since Tristan had told Enzo that Nico bought him toys the last time they first met, so his room couldn't contain too many toys anymore or else his room will burst into toys.

Enzo laughed at his son's explanation, so he ended up with the idea of having the toys in his Villa and building a room for Tristan. If the child wishes to see him, he is always welcome to come to his Villa and have time for him.

When it was already past 2 pm, Enzo couldn't help but take pictures of Tristan's adorable face secretly. He may look like a stage father, but who cares? He has a son and wants to be a good man. He is sure their resemblance couldn't deny how blood-related they were. Some women ricocheted at their spot every time they walked around and gossiped about how good-looking Tristan and Enzo were.

Enzo never imagined that Tristan would come into his life and how fateful his encounter was with Abigaile. He met their son and had the opportunity to hold Tristan's hands. Enzo wished that this moment would last forever; the warmth of holding Tristan's hands, the way he smiled at him and called him daddy melted his heart.

Enzo glanced at his wristwatch when he noticed it was getting dark, and Abigaile informed him to bring Tristan home once he was done to have a moment with him.

"Whoa! Daddy! I want some cotton candy!" Enzo nodded and took Tristan near the cotton candy stand. He bought him the priciest cotton candy that made Tristan's stomach grumble in hunger.

"Are you hungry? Hold the cotton candy for a moment. Let's grab a snack before you eat that, or you'll have a tummy ache." It's a good thing For Enzo that there was a fast-food chain near the Park. So that the two can grab their snack and fill their tummy with the mouthwatering food served in front of them.

"Silly," Enzo muttered as he rubbed the napkin on his son's cheeks. Enzo couldn't suppress the bliss and let out a grin, thinking about the concept that Tristan inherited the messy eating behavior of

Abigaile back then.

"Sowwy!" Tristan apologized and let out a grin. The people inside the fast-food chain found the two adorable; a father and son's moment seemed precious in their eyes and some

women inside even took a picture of them.

Enzo peeked at Tristan, who was munching his food, and asked, "How are you and your Mommy?" he asked his child before taking a bite of French fries.

"We're doing fine, Daddy, you know what? I asked Mommy why you didn't look for us; she just smiled at me and replied, you have big plans, so Mommy didn't tell you that she was carrying me." Enzo felt like a bomb had been dropped in front of him. He couldn't help but feel an unbearable pain piercing his heart.

"How about your life with Mommy when Daddy wasn't around?" Tristan took a sip of his coke before responding. Enzo couldn't take even a bite upon hearing the child's confession.

"Our life in Chicago was tough when I was born. Mommy took care of me alone while studying. I know she had a hard time because every night, I heard Mommy always cry, and she is a tough lady for raising me despite the hardships. Then, Daddy Nico

helped Mommy raise me and care for Mommy. Daddy Nico and I used to play whenever he had free time from work; he was concerned about Tristan and Mommy."

Tristan chuckled and added, "You know what, Daddy, I was thrilled when Mommy told me that you are my real Daddy, and Tristan was glad because I have two daddies!"

Enzo offered a piece of fries in his son's mouth. Tristan cheerfully took it and chewed it.

"Say, Daddy, can I call you Daddy 2?"

Enzo's brow furrowed, "Can't I be your Daddy 1 instead of Daddy 2?"

The child shook his head and smiled brightly, "No, Daddy, I already had Daddy 1, who is Daddy Nico. Therefore, you are my Daddy 2 slash, my real daddy!" Enzo nodded in response as he glanced at his child, who seemed to enjoy his meals.

Enzo couldn't help but heave a heavy sigh. He couldn't replace Nico in his son's heart because the man was there when he wasn't around to take care of Abigaile and Tristan. Nico was the one who carried out his responsibilities, acted as Tristan's father, and looked

after Abigaile while she was having difficulty parenting Tristan.

Tristan seemed caught off guard when Enzo ruffled his hair and whispered, "Now that Daddy is here, Daddy will make things up with you and Mommy. Daddy 2 will be there for Tristan and Mommy at all times." Tristan nodded happily while munching his burger.

Enzo took out his phone to check the time, and a beam crinkled in his mouth upon seeing his picture with Tristan. He had already decided. He wanted to be a more promising father and fulfilled the times when Nico wasn't around to take care of Tristan, he desired to make everything right for his child, and it was a Father's Oath.
