Let's continue the story with Alex meeting his biological father.
*Chapter 4: The Encounter*
Alex's search for his biological father led him to a small town on the outskirts of the city. He had finally found a lead, a name and an address. As he stood outside the house, his heart racing, he wondered what to expect.
Taking a deep breath, Alex knocked on the door. It swung open, revealing a man in his mid-40s with a familiar smile. Alex's eyes widened as he took in the resemblance.
"Hello, Alex," the man said, his voice trembling. "I've been waiting for you."
Alex's biological father, Michael, invited him in, and they sat down to talk. Over the next few hours, Michael shared his side of the story, explaining why he hadn't been involved in Alex's life.
As Alex listened, he felt a mix of emotions: anger, curiosity, and a hint of understanding. Michael apologized for not being there, but Alex saw the sincerity in his eyes.
*Chapter 5: The Connection*
Over the next few weeks, Alex met with Michael several times. They talked about their lives, shared stories, and slowly built a connection. Alex learned about his biological father's passions, values, and regrets.
Though Jack would always be his dad in Alex's heart, he couldn't deny the bond forming with Michael. Alex realized he had two fathers who loved him in different ways.
