Met his challenge

Hello, I don't understand what this means, can you help me? It's from a book called Servant Leader. Thanks in advance. Context is: A guy is given some information about two men's (Will and Martin) efforts to help the children whose parents are in prison. They are getting education, love etc. And the following paragraph is this:


“The point of it is,” Will added, looking at me very firmly, almost challengingly, “these kids are getting loved!”

I just nodded my head. There isn’t a professional category for it, but I’m starting to get the fact that love is part of the equation. Will’s face told me I had met his challenge.


By the way, the narrator's relationship with his dad is not good, his dad has never show him love. Can "I had met his challenge" be a reference to that. What does it mean? Please help me with that.
