The twins ran happily towards the kitchen, and from then on, Stefan could hear the nging of kitchen


    utensils emerging from the kitchen mixed with the sound of childrenughing.

    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…”


    Abby 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 waspletely 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,menting, “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 aplicated mix of emotions. There was a cryptic smile on his lips as he


    asked, “So, are you 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.”
