âLater on, Morgan found out too.â Cindy grinned at Morgan.
Heâs the only one besides her unseen grandfather who knows this secret!
Morgan puffed up his slender chest with a prideful look.
âNow, my dad is in on it too!â Morgan pointed out.
This is a big secret, only known by a few people!
âActually, itâs not such a big deal, itâs not a secret that people would use me as a lab rat if they knew.â Cindy laughed, âIâm mostly on guard against my mom and Wendy.â
âBecause of this talent of mine, my dad valued me a lot. As for Wendy, she always wanted to inherit the familyâs restaurant. The restaurant isnât large, but itâs still a business,â Cindy said, âAlthough, I think, Wendy may not be entirely concerned about the restaurant as a source of income, but rather her status in the family.â
âShe feels that sheâs the eldest sister and sheâs 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 alongâ¦â Cindy smirked in mockery, âMy dad might have started giving me some paternal love. But my mom didnât. All of her love still belongs to Wendy.â
âIn my momâs eyes, Iâm a burden. I know she wanted a son to inherit the restaurant and my dadâs skills. In most peopleâs eyes, being a chef and running a restaurant are menâs jobs. But instead of a son, she gave birth to me. With the familyâs financial state, they couldnât afford another child. Moreover, there was no guarantee the next child would be a boy. Thatâs why she didnât have another.â
âWendy 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, thatâs why she became dissatisfied.â
âWhat a bully!â Morgan swelled his cheeks in anger, âIf she gets all the love, what about you? It should be shared equally!â
âThatâs why Iâm in Belfard now,â Cindy laughed as she remarked.
âShe keeps everything for herself. So selfish,â Morgan stated discontentedly.
Adrian laughed, âSo, if Cindy and I were to have younger brothers and sisters in the future, you wouldnât get jealous, would you?â
âI wonât be jealous,â Morgan asserted, looking the part of an older brother already, âAs long as you two treat us all the same, not favoring the younger siblings. That way, I wonât be jealous.â
Cindy quickly added, âOf course, how could we play favorites? And Iâve been through this, how could I possibly let my own children experience the same?â
Adrian, grinning, asked, âSo, you agree to have siblings for Morgan with me?â
Cindy paused, registering the look Adrian gave her.
His implication seemed not about the result⦠having siblings for Morgan, but rather⦠the process.
Cindyâs face turned beet-red, but she didnât 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 parentsâ conversation, stood by obtusely.
He juggled his small head from side to side, âFirst, you guys need to get married before you can have little brothers and sisters.â
Morgan cupped his mouth and giggled looking at Adrian.
