Chapter 409: 409: Then, you guys should get married first.
He’s the only one besides her unseen grandfather who knows this secret!
Morgan puffed up his slender chest with a prideful look.
“Now, my dad is in on it too!” Morgan pointed out.
This is a big secret, only known by a few people!
“Actually, it’s not such a big deal, it’s not a secret that people would use me as a lab rat if they knew.” Cindy laughed, “I’m mostly on guard against my mom and Wendy.”
“Because of this talent of mine, my dad valued me a lot. As for Wendy, she always wanted to inherit the family’s restaurant. The restaurant isn’t large, but it’s still a business,” Cindy said, “Although, I think, Wendy may not be entirely concerned about the restaurant as a source of income, but rather her status in the family.”
“She feels that she’s the eldest sister and she’s always been pampered by the family. Before I existed, she was the only daughter and all the parental affection was bestowed on her. But then I came along…” Cindy smirked in mockery, “My dad might have started giving me some paternal love. But my mom didn’t. All of her love still belongs to Wendy.”
“In my mom’s eyes, I’m a burden. I know she wanted a son to inherit the restaurant and my dad’s skills. In most people’s eyes, being a chef and running a restaurant are men’s jobs. But instead of a son, she gave birth to me. With the family’s financial state, they couldn’t afford another child. Moreover, there was no guarantee the next child would be a boy. That’s why she didn’t have another.”
“Wendy always likes to have everything to herself. She monopolized motherly love, but was not pleased to see that my dad treated us both equally. Later, because of my talent, my dad wanted to pass on all his skills to me. As he spent more time with me, it seemed that he favored me more, that’s why she became dissatisfied.”
“What a bully!” Morgan swelled his cheeks in anger, “If she gets all the love, what about you? It should be shared equally!”
“That’s why I’m in Belfard now,” Cindy laughed as she remarked.
“She keeps everything for herself. So selfish,” Morgan stated discontentedly.
Adrian laughed, “So, if Cindy and I were to have younger brothers and sisters in the future, you wouldn’t get jealous, would you?”
“I won’t be jealous,” Morgan asserted, looking the part of an older brother already, “As long as you two treat us all the same, not favoring the younger siblings. That way, I won’t be jealous.”
Cindy quickly added, “Of course, how could we play favorites? And I’ve been through this, how could I possibly let my own children experience the same?”
Adrian, grinning, asked, “So, you agree to have siblings for Morgan with me?”
Cindy paused, registering the look Adrian gave her.
His implication seemed not about the result… having siblings for Morgan, but rather… the process.
Cindy’s face turned beet-red, but she didn’t dare verbalize it.
Otherwise, this man would deny it again, take the opportunity to tease her, and even flip the situation by saying she was overthinking with impure thoughts.
Morgan, still too young to understand the subtle flirtation in his parents’ conversation, stood by obtusely.
He juggled his small head from side to side, “First, you guys need to get married before you can have little brothers and sisters.”
Morgan cupped his mouth and giggled looking at Adrian.
