Jacob held Ace’s hand, assuring “Your dad will understand. You are his son, his blood, after all.”
Ace let out a nervous laugh hearing him. He said “I don’t know what exactly will happen but I’m sure I have to face a lot.”
Jacob’s grip on Ace, tightened. He spoke with utmost sincerity “And I will be with you, always.”
Jacob had his drink and held his forehead, mumbling “Before everything, I should talk to Edwin. I owe him an apology and an explanation.”
Their conversation was interrupted with Edwin’s voice. They both turned their heads back and saw Edwin, looking around calling out Ace’s name.
