Adam Walker had not expected him to ask so directly.
"I..." He hesitated, his lips dry as he spoke without pretense or exaggeration, simply stating the truth, "I just... really like you."
At the time, Adam Walker didn't know that this child was his, and he had been silently watching over the son of Lady Gardner.
Initially, he thought his affection was merely a case of loving the house and its crows, which was why he cared about this child so much.
Only after knowing the truth did Adam Walker realize, it was actually the natural bond between father and son.
Even though he didn't know Lucas Walker was his son, the kinship in their bones still made him instinctively pay attention to the child.
Over the years, he not only kept up with Lady Gardner's affairs but also many of Lucas Walker's experiences.
