This morning I got a call from Wang Henry. Not only me, but also my brother. He asked us to talk and also that we can meet with him today. I asked him if I could, for my support, bring my fiancé. He said that he has no problem with that and also that my brother can bring Cheng.

I was confused at first that he knew the name of my brother's fiancé, but Zhan told me that Wang Henry must have done research on me and my brother. Probably ever since he got the letter from my mother telling him that we are supposed to be his sons.

Then in the afternoon, Zhan and I drove to the arranged meeting place. A Greek restaurant. The head waiter took us to a table in a separate room. Shortly after us, my brother and Cheng arrived. My brother seemed very nervous, which made me even more nervous. But Zhan took my hand, stroked it and said, "Don't worry, I'm with you and no matter what happens today, I'll stay with you. We can do this together."

I nodded and was glad that Zhan was with me. Because my brother was just not himself at that moment either and had no strength at all to calm me down.

Ten minutes passed as we sat nervously in the room when there was a knock on the door and a tall man with broad shoulders entered the room. I swallowed hard when I saw him, because he looked like my brother, only older. He smiled as he joined us at the table. "Hello, I'm glad you could make it." He said in a soft voice.

We all just nodded and looked at him nervously and questioningly. But he smiled and seemed calm. His warm look reassured me a little. Then another man entered the room, Wang Henry's assistant. He placed two large envelopes on the table. One for me and one for my brother.

I opened it with trembling hands. I looked at Zhan before taking out the document what was inside. Zhan nodded and I pulled it out. It was the results of the paternity test. I understood very little of all the scientific stuff that was written there. But there was one sentence no one had to explain to me: "The probability of paternity is 99.999989%." I stared at the numbers and was horrified.

"You're my father?" I asked Wang Henry. My brother gave me his document and he took mine, it said that the probability of paternity is 99.999988%.

Wang Henry took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure you have many questions, but so do I. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find your mother in Japan. Because I think she owes me some answers."

"What kind of answers do you expect from her? You two are still married as far as I know. Never lived together, though. Instead, she lived with another man whom she cheated on with you. With her own husband! How ridiculous is that?" Asked my brother.

I frowned, not liking the way the conversation started. Because it looked to me like my brother wanted to blame Wang Henry, our biological father, alone for how chaotic our lives are now. So I said, "In my opinion, Mom was playing with Dad and Wang Henry. We don't know anything at all, so stop being like that Hai Kuan."

My brother looked at me angrily. But then Wang Henry said, "To be honest, this is all much more complicated than you think. I have often wanted to divorce your mother. But whenever I was ready and wanted to go through with it, she would come to me and we would spend time together. The truth is, she always said she loved your father and me and couldn't choose. The reason, she told me, why we never acted as a married couple was, that she said she was afraid her father would take advantage of it for his financial gain and that she liked living with your father. When she got pregnant with Hai Kuan, she dated me and your father and always claimed that he was the father. Then when she got pregnant with Yibo, I was honestly convinced that I was his father, but again she vehemently denied it. She told me I was fantasizing about it because I would like to have a child."

Once again, I was unable to find any words for this. Instead, more and more questions formed in my mind and somehow I felt sorry for Wang Henry too. Because you could see the sorrow and suffering in his look when he told us about it.

My brother asked him, "Why didn't you just take a paternity test before if you were unsure?"

"Because she never let me get close to you two. She showed me pictures of you when you were babies, but nothing after that." Explained Henry, as he requested we call him now.

"How long have you been married and how often did you see each other?" I asked.

"We've been married for 37 years. I know it's ridiculous and I'm making an idiot of myself by doing this. But I can't change it now either. I do, however, plan to divorce her. We saw each other about once or twice a month. Sometimes more, sometimes less. There was even a time when I didn't see her for six months."

"You must have loved her very much if you went through all that." Said Cheng.

"Yes I loved her very much. I just didn't want to lose her just because she loved two men at the same time. I couldn't manage to let her go."

"So you were playing along and letting all this happen to you? Didn't it make you feel bad to know that she's with another man right now that she also loves?" Asked my brother.

Well, at that moment I thought my brother himself should know how it is. Because he too loved two men at the same time and was torn. And he knew how much his ex and Cheng suffered from the situation. Only that he had not started anything with Cheng at that time. But their love was so strong by that time that they were both suffering.

"I can't explain it to you. Of course, I didn't like knowing that she was in the arms of another man. But my heart loved her nevertheless."

"So how are we supposed to continue now? I mean, just because a paternity test proves that you're our biological father doesn't mean that we're going to jump on your neck and call you dad because of it." Said my brother.

"I don't expect you two to. But I would still be happy if we could give each other a little time and get to know each other better. And then you can always decide if you want to continue to have contact with me or not."

"I'm not sure we really want to. We had a father and we don't need a second father." Said my brother.

At that moment I got angry and said, "Listen Hai Kuan, if you feel that way Ok, but don't speak for me. Because I would like to meet Henry. And he is not our second father, he is our biological father. He also has a right to get to know us. And if we get along well, then I would be happy to have him as a father. Because as you can remember, our father, had never treated me well. Yeah, we know why now. But still, I'd like to see if Henry is different, and maybe learn from him what fatherly love really means."

Henry looked at me with sad eyes. He had big tears in his eyes and asked me if he could give me a hug. I nodded, went to him, and he wrapped me in his arms. And for the first time in my life, I had a sense of what it was like to be held by a father. To feel the warmth and affection of a father.

"Do you see that Hai Kuan? Do you see how much your little brother wants the love and closeness of a father? Why don't you try to get to know him first?" Asked Cheng.

Zhan interfered for the first time and said, "Because he feels like he's betraying his father by doing so. Hai Kuan is completely out of his depth. Try to understand his side. For him, there was only one father for 33 years and suddenly his whole life is turned upside down. Everything he thought he knew about his family is suddenly wrong and then someone else shows up and it turns out that this strange man, is his father. He's confused and needs time to process that. So don't push him."

"But Yibo manages to accept that too, doesn't he?" Replied Cheng.

"Yibo has suffered all his life from his father's strictness and rejection. He suffered psychologically and was shy, couldn't trust anyone and had no self-confidence. And now there is this big man with broad shoulders holding him in his arms and not rejecting him." Explained Zhan.

"I see. Well, thanks to you, he's gotten a lot better though. He's really blossomed."

"That's true Cheng. But my love for him, doesn't replace the love of a father. And yes, he has blossomed with me and I am really proud of how much he has changed. But like I said, my love doesn't replace a father."

Henry sat back down after I released my hug and walked back to Zhan and sat down on my seat. Zhan smiled and said, "I am proud of you Yibo." And that sentence was like a balsam to me, because I didn't know if what I was doing was right. I just felt the need to hug Henry.

"I would be very happy if you give me a chance to get to know me and that I can get to know you. I won't bite and I won't be angry if you Hai Kuan, don't want that. I can understand you and accept your decision. However, there is something we need to do together. That is to confront your mother. We have to find her in Japan and bring her here. It would be good if we could work together on this." Said Henry.

I nodded and even my brother agreed. And then my brother said, "I think I need to process all of this a little bit and then we can like get together again and get to know each other. Right now I'm just, like Zhan said, overwhelmed and I need some time."

Henry told him that he would be happy to wait until he was ready. My brother and Cheng then took their leave because my brother and Cheng had something else to do. Zhan and I, on the other hand, stayed and even ate together with Henry. It was the first time that I ate something from Greece.

And the more time I spent with Henry, the more I realized how caring and warm Henry is. And he reminded me a lot of my brother. Not only on the outside, but also his way of talking to me. I felt comfortable around him from the beginning and honestly, I'm glad he's my father.

Because even though I have forgiven my father for the way he treated me throughout my life. So this still sat deep within me and he never showed me what fatherly love was. Henry, on the other hand, was interested in everything I told him, he laughed a lot and he and I even share some interests. Just like me, he loves to work in his garden.

And then came the firecracker. Because Henry said he loved to read. Especially the books of Wei Ying. I automatically grinned from ear to ear while looking at Zhan. Henry noticed this, of course, and asked if he had just made a fool of himself again for being a fan of the author Wei Ying.

I shook my head and asked Zhan, "Can I tell?" Zhan nodded. Then I turned to Henry and said, "May I introduce you to my fiancé Xiao Zhan aka Wei Ying? The author whose fan you are?"

Henry looked at Zhan and me with wide eyes and suddenly started laughing. "Seriously? You're dating Wei Ying? I'm going crazy. I can't believe that my son is dating Wei Ying. That I'm sitting face to face with the author."

I was speechless for a moment because he called me, his son. I was kind of really proud of that. Only when Zhan nudged me did I clear my throat and reply, "Yes, it's him, my Wei Ying. I'm his biggest fan. I adored him even before I knew it was Zhan."

We then continued to talk for quite a while about the books Zhan wrote and which Henry liked best of them. While I said I just loved all of his books. And while we talked, the time flew by. By the time we said goodbye to each other, it had been almost 9 pm. I had eaten two meals with my biological father and we got along super well. We also agreed to meet again as early as next weekend. Then he wants to come to visit Zhan and me. After that weekend, Zhan and I will visit him at his house.

When we got back home, I said to Zhan, "I am happy to have such a nice father. I hope I will be able to spend a lot of time with him."

"You will, I'm sure." Said Zhan. I was very happy. But I also felt sorry for Zhan, because he still couldn't find his parents. True, he doesn't hope to have a good relationship with them someday. But he still has so many unanswered questions for them that only they can answer for him. I wish that he will also find his parents someday.
