Jean-Daniel Lemercier leaned back into the seat and still looking at the letter in his hands. His face was pale.
For a moment, nobody speaks, busy with their own thoughts. Tatsuya could hear the pounding of his own heart. He wondered what he thought the man sitting in front of it. He was gazing fixedly at the letter in his hand. One of her hands rested on the chair arm and rubbed his temples.
Tatsuya wondered silently. How do you feel Jean-Daniel Lemercier? Was he angry? Sad? Confused? Shocked?
Tatsuya sighed. "In the letter Mother said if you had a relationship. I do not know why you left the mother when the mother was pregnant .... "
" I do not know ... your mother was pregnant, "interrupted Jean-Daniel Lemercier. He stared straight Tatsuya. His eyes warm and sincere.
Tatsuya eyes and found no anger there. There is no. She found herself believe him.
The older man continued, "I do not know. If I know ... I ... "
Tatsuya forcing a smile. "I do not blame you, Monsieur. However mother eventually married Kenichi Fujisawa, my father. My father was a very nice person. Not smart, not rich, but very good. Father receive what their mother and always considers my own child. No one should regrettable. "
Jean-Daniel Lemercier still in shock. He could not say anything.
Tatsuya continued. "I hope you do not misunderstand my purpose to see you. I do not lack anything, so I do not want to ask anything of you. I just followed the request of my deceased mother. My mother wanted me and my dad know each other. And now we ... have been met, monsieur. "
The older man sighed heavily, then asked," Are you angry at your mother for not telling me sooner? "
Tatsuya down. He did not think he was going to ask that, because he could not answer. Actually, yes, he had felt angry. Angered by being lied to for so long, but now ...
"I hope you are not angry with your mother." Tatsuya hear his low voice. "I'm sure you know your mother really did not mean to hurt you."
Tatsuya looked at the face of the man who turns out to be her biological father. He did not expect to receive such a reaction from Jean-Daniel Lemercier. He had thought he would argue, refusing all explanations, not willing to concede anything, and demanded evidence. Even if the man refuses to believe, Tatsuya did not care. He was not trying to get recognition. He just wanted to meet with his biological father, as her mother wanted her. But the guy in front of him now is so different. He was relieved.
"Do you find yourself angry at Mom because it does not say anything about her pregnancy?" Tatsuya heard himself ask.
Jean-Daniel Lemercier thought for a moment. "Anger is not the right word," she said softly. "I'm just surprised. But maybe because we'd broken up and I went from Japan, he thought I would not care about him anymore. "
" You are married, Monsieur? "Asked Tatsuya again. Suddenly he wanted to get to know his biological father,
Jean-Daniel Lemercier smiled weakly. "I was married. It happened a few years after I left Japan and returned to Paris, "she said. "I have a daughter. Her name is Victoria. Maybe next time I'll introduce you to him. "
Tatsuya forcing a smile. He was not sure you're ready acquainted with other family members Lemercier. "No need to hurry, Monsieur. We just met today. "
His biological father nodded slightly. "You're right," he said. "Just slowly. We've got plenty of time. I hope we can get to know little by little. "
Tatsuya looked down and sighed quietly. A good start, he thought. Not like he had feared all along. Jean-Daniel Lemercier was very surprised and confused, but he was able to handle it well. Thank goodness ...
"Tatsuya?"
Tatsuya raised his head and saw Jean-Daniel Lemercier was looking at him with shining eyes friendly.
"I'm glad you came looking for me," he said earnestly.
