Before meeting him, my daughter strictly told me not to mention his dad or any family members to him as he is not close with them. I didn’t ask what happened and I respected what she had told me. Genuinely, I liked him a lot. He is a good guy, responsible, and truly loves my daughter. We got along well, though I only met him a handful of times. A few days ago, my daughter came to visit me along with him. I was fixing my car, and he looked curious and asked what I was doing. I told him I was doing basic maintenance, like changing the oil and checking tire pressure, that sort of thing. We got into talking and he told me he doesn’t know even the basics when it comes to taking care of a car, let alone fixing it. He always just paid a mechanic to do it. I was shocked. I told him I could teach him a couple of things if he really wanted to know. He doesn’t need to waste his money on fixing basic things. He was a fast learner and picked up what I was telling him to do. After he was done, I patted his back and said, “Well done, my son.” The expression on his face changed. One second he was happy and the next his mood was completely different. He broke down crying on the floor.
