The twins ran happily towards the kitchen, and from then on, Stefan could hear the clanging of kitchen utensils
emerging from the kitchen mixed with the sound of children laughing.
Stefan walked around the house as if he was back in his own home. After a while, he headed towards the kitchen
and asked the twins, who were mixing a batter. “Do you need any help?”
Abby gazed at Stefan sweetly, her eyes sparkling as brightly as stars in the sky. “Do you know how to cook, Uncle
Handsome?”
The sight of Abby made Stefan feel as if his heart was soaked in sugary syrup. He smiled without realizing it, then
shook his head and replied, “I never knew how to cook. It’s too trivial and such a waste of time. It’s the kind of thing
best left to the servants.”
“But it won’t be the same!” argued Abby. “The servants are not your family members, so the food they make won’t
taste as good…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbby was a bona fide foodie, so she had high expectations for the food she ate. To her, good food not only had to
be tasty, but it also had to be prepared with love, something that servants could not do.
“Mommy always cooks delicious food,” she said. “So does Daddy Q! He makes tasty food as well! Sometimes they
would cook together, and we’d all sit at the table and eat all the food! That was the happiest time for all of us! It’s a
pity that you don’t know how to cook, Uncle Handsome because that means you’ll never experience that kind of
happiness!”
Stefan did not expect to hear such heart-wrenching words from Abby. He shook his head helplessly and said, “When
you put it that way, it sounds like I’m the most wretched man in the world!”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to cook,” said Adie as he was creaming butter with the electric mixer. He
then suggested, “You can start learning! Q did the same. He was completely useless in the kitchen, but he learned
and practiced until he became a master cook! In a short time, he managed to impress all of us!”
Although Adie hated his evil daddy very much, he still subconsciously wished to “reform” Stefan Hunt, thinking that
it would really cheer his mommy up if he could transform this broken and erratic “machine” into a brand-new
useful one.
Stefan raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at the children with curiosity, commenting, “It looks like both of you
like this Mr. Q very much! You’ve been talking about him all evening! What is that man to you… or should I say,
what is he to your mommy?”
“Of course we like him!” Adie replied with his head held high, his expression full of pride. “Q is an awesome guy who
treats our mommy very well! In any case, he’s a million times better than those men who hurt women. Right now,
he’s our daddy, and he’s our mommy’s husband. He takes care of all of us every day, and every time we’re with
him, we’re all very happy!”
Adie wanted to praise Q as much as possible so that his evil daddy would feel ashamed of himself and realize what
a horrible person he had been!
Stefan’s eyes revealed a complicated mix of emotions. There was a cryptic smile on his lips as he asked, “So, are
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou all going to live with this Mr. Q for the rest of your lives? What if one day, you discover that this man isn’t as
good of a guy you thought he was? What if he turns out to be a bad guy? Would you still be willing to live with him?”
“Impossible!” Abby pouted her pink lips, then earnestly added, “Daddy Q is a good man! He’s the greatest man in
the world! No one treats us better than him, so there’s no way that he’d turn out to be a bad guy…”
“But what if?” Stefan pressed on, for the first time speaking in a serious tone with the children, hoping to get a
definite answer from them.
“If Daddy Q turns out to be a bad guy, then we’ll… then we’ll…”
Abby grabbed the hem of her clothes. Her eyes were reddening as she was on the verge of tears. She really liked
Daddy Q, so she simply could not entertain the thought that he might be a bad guy, much less consider that he
might leave them one day. As soon as she thought about it, her eyes and her nose stung, and she felt like crying.
“It doesn’t matter if Q turns out to be bad,” Adie reasoned in a mature and rational tone, wise beyond his years.
“We’ll just give him another chance and try to change his bad habits so he’ll transform into a good guy. Mommy,
Abby, and I will never give up on him, and he will never give up on us either, so you don’t need to worry about us!”
Stefan fell silent for a few seconds. He then smiled wanly and vaguely replied, “In that case, that must Mr. Q must
be the luckiest man in the world.”
