"You'll find out soon. I can't tell you now, or it'll lose its magic.""Uhh..." Renee was so amused by her daughter and could not stop laughing.Aiden crossed his arms and said cooly, just like an adult, "What secret can they have? They must be talking about handsome guys again. Childish!"Since they started kindergarten, the relationship between the two little ones had subtly changed. The cool Aiden was undoubtedly very popular in kindergarten. Nonetheless, he was too cold and distant and made no friends. The children liked him but dared not approach him. On the contrary, his sister Abigail had become the darling of her teachers and classmates because of her cute face and high emotional intelligence. She made a lot of friends and had companions wherever she went.Aiden was secretly jealous and felt he was no longer the only one for his sister. Abigail used to worship and admire him. She always listened to him unconditionally. However, now, it seemed she had her own ideas and n
"Are you joking, Mommy? Why should we live with this bad guy?"Aiden's strong reaction showed how much he disliked Stefan.Abigail, on the contrary, was blinking her shiny eyes and showed anticipation. "Really? Can we really live with Handsome Daddy, Mommy?"Her reaction irked Aiden even more. He crossed his arms across his chest and criticized her harshly, "What is wrong with you, Abigail? Don't you have any sense of danger? We are going to the place of this bad guy. What are you so happy about?""Of course, I am happy. My mood gets better when I think of seeing Handsome Daddy every day. And what's more, if Handsome Daddy and Mommy become best friends, we will have an extra daddy. Isn't it wonderful?" Abigail explained logically for her excitement."No, it is not! We don't make friends with bad people. We stay away from them!""Maybe he is not a bad guy. You don't know him yet. If we live with him, it will be a great opportunity for us to get to know him better!""There is no n
What Stefan and Abigail were doing now was the loving scene between father and daughter she had imagined countless times in her mind.She had been very hopeful about their married life when she married Stefan back then.She had wanted to give him a lovely daughter and a cool son.She had pictured in her mind that he would carry their daughter, and she would hold their son as they strolled together in the sea of sunflowers, enjoying the evening breeze and the happiness of a family. Regardless, when her dream came true, she could no longer ignite her long-lost passion."Mommy, do you still hate Bad Daddy?"Aiden was very sensitive and smart and quickly sensed the change in his mother's emotions. Like a young knight, he patted his chest bravely and said, "If you still hate him, I will take revenge for you! I will not be like that idiot Abby who smiles and gets tricked so easily by the person who hurt you. Abby is a traitor. I will find a way to make her come to her senses!"Renee
Abigail's voice interrupted Renee's thoughts.Curious, she walked to where Abigail and Stefan were standing.At the moment, the father and the daughter were standing under the garden arch where the vanilla plant grew in front of the main gate.Sitting on Stefan's shoulders, Abigail pointed at a bird nest with her tiny finger and cheered, "Mommy, look at this. There is a bird nest here, and there are four babies inside. They are so cute!""Um. so your surprise is these birds…"Renee smiled weakly and looked at Abigail with loving eyes.This dramatic girl was capable enough to make anything petty sound very serious.But it was because of her character that Abigail became Renee's angel that brought her endless happiness and surprise.Abigail explained to Renee with a very serious face. "This is not an ordinary bird, Mommy. This is a special gift Handsome Daddy prepared for you!""For me?"Renee turned her eyes to Stefan. Her gaze changed so quickly, as if the warm sun in the spr
She fished out her mobile at the same time and googled when birds can fly after hatching.And the answer: about a month.She rubbed her chin and nodded. One month should be sufficient to rebuild the Everheart Manor.The remaining three, however, reacted differently.Abigail was excited and waved at the four chicks happily. "Wonderful! We have new family members. Welcome to our family, birdies!"Aiden was as cold as ever and commented briefly, "That was childish!"As for Stefan, his thin lips curled into a vague smile. It was obvious that his "wicked" plan had worked.There were, in this world, flightless birds, such as the four he placed on the vines. They were kākāpō, the world's only flightless parrot found in Nouveauland. They were also known for their longest lifespan and low intelligence among the bird species, as well as their peculiar appearance.Renee was just like them. She was adorably dumb to be thinking of flying out of his hands. He would never let it happen!The
Renee made her way to the kitchen and started cooking dinner.Though it had been so many years, it was strange that she didn't feel the least awkward to be back in this kitchen. She felt as if she had returned to her own territory.No matter how strong she presented herself, she still subconsciously enjoyed life as a little woman who cooked for her loved ones.She quickly served a feast on the table like how it was in the past. The aroma of the food spread in the house.What was different was that the usually deserted table became very lively, and people were already seated and could not wait to dig in."Wow, it smells so good! Mommy, the lemon pie looks very tasty, and it's making my mouth water…"Abigail missed Renee's lemon pie very much. She could eat the entire thing on her own every time Renee made them.But Renee was normally very busy with her work and had little time to cook. So when Abigail saw the pie on the table, she grabbed one immediately like a hungry beggar."H
After saying that, Renee grabbed a piece of meat and shoved it into Stefan's mouth.Stefan had never been treated in such a disrespectful manner. He looked like he was about to break into a fit of rage."Hahaha! This is so funny. Why does he look so hilarious? Well done, Mommy!" Aiden had been cold all night long. He finally laughed. He also didn't seem as hostile toward Stefan as he did before.This was the first time Stefan saw Aiden laughing so joyfully in front of him. This was how a four-year-old should behave.Stefan felt his heart melting away, and he naturally stopped feeling angry. He began to taste the food seriously.After the two children stopped laughing, they also began eating the food Renee prepared.It didn't take very long for them to clear their plates.Renee was very satisfied that they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the food.The greatest sense of accomplishment for a chef was to see their food being finished.At night, Renee tucked her children in.Aiden and
Later in the evening, Renee finally coaxed the talkative children into sleeping.To be more precise, Abigail was the talkative one. She kept pestering Renee to talk about her past life with Stefan.Aiden refuted all night long, but it was to no avail. He, too, was forced to listen to Renee's stories about her life with Stefan.In the end, Abigail's conclusion was that Stefan was a good person who could be forgiven.Aiden, on the other hand, concluded that Stefan was terrible and couldn't be forgiven.After the children fell asleep, Renee found herself wide awake.She decided to take a walk in the garden for some fresh air.When she opened the door, she was shocked to find Stefan standing right outside the door. She wondered how long he'd been standing there.She gasped in surprise. "W-Why aren't you in bed? Why are you standing here? You gave me a fright!"Renee's tone wasn't exactly gentle when she looked at him and questioned him."I couldn't sleep. The moon looks beautiful
