Chapter 576: 576: Biological Father or Stepfather, They’re All Fathers
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
âThink about your nursery, even though the lunch is good, itâs still incomparable to what Cindy makes. Every time I enjoy such a good meal at home, I think of you.â Adrian Zhekova explained with the tenderness of a loving father.
âMy heart aches!â Adrian sighed, âSo I thought, if you canât eat it, at least you can see it.â
Morgan Zhekova: ââ¦â
Cindy Clarke: ââ¦â
âCindy! Look at Dad!â Morgan expressed doubt from the depths of his soul, âIs he really my biological father?â
âOf course I am. Otherwise, would I put up with him?â Adrian immediately replied.
âAlright, alright.â Cindy saw that the little guy was getting anxious and annoyed.
Although Adrian usually loses to Morgan, it must be said that Morgan is only 4 years old.
How could he be a match for Adrian in a war of words?
âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â Cindy asked Morgan hurriedly, âIâll prepare it in the afternoon.â
âI want to eat Fried Pork Cutlet!â Morgan puffed up his cheeks and said.
And let Adrian eat it for two consecutive meals, let him be fed up with it!
âOkay.â Cindy thought, she would find another way to cook it.
She couldnât let Adrian get tired of it.
She saw that Adrianâs face turned a little green when he heard what Morgan said.
After all, this man was very picky.
Itâs not easy to satisfy his stomach and taste.
Letting him eat the same food in a row is really difficult for him.
Cindy wanted to take back what she said before about Morgan not being a match for Adrian in terms of verbal sparring.
Even if she didnât step in, the father and son would probably have a fifty-fifty chance at winning.
Since Morgan couldnât think of anything else at the moment.
Cindy suggested, âHow about barbecue seafood tonight? What seafood do you want to eat?â
âShrimp! Clams! Garlic Vermicelli Scallops! Garlic Oysters! Clam soup! Grilled squid!â Morganâs appetite was immediately aroused, and he salivated uncontrollably as he talked, âI want to eat the kind where you grill and eat at the same time.â
âAlright!â Cindy quickly agreed, âGrilling seafood is quite simple. Just clean the seafood and thatâs it. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so how about I also make you a red velvet cake?â
âGreat!â Morgan couldnât stop drooling now.
So, he was finally appeased.
Morgan happily hung up the phone.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Headmaster Woodsâ big face pressed up behind him.
Morgan was startled.
He nearly fell off the chair in fright.
Headmaster Woods didnât dare to let this little ancestor get hurt, so he quickly helped him to steady himself.
âMorgan.â Headmaster Woods smiled with a face full of wrinkles.
But the little guy felt the headmaster had ill intentions: âWhatâs up?â
âIs Master Adrian your stepfather?â Headmaster Woods asked quietly.
He had just come over to check on the little fellow.
Now, Headmaster Woods highly valued Morgan.
During outdoor activities, the headmaster would secretly watch from a hidden place to ensure that Morgan didnât bump or hurt himself.
Every day during nap time, the headmaster would also come and check on whether Morgan was sleeping well.
Morgan himself didnât know about this.
It just showed that Cindyâs considerations were very thorough.
In the whole nursery, Adrian Zhekova was a person who couldnât be provoked by Morganâs family.
Headmaster Woods truly put all his heart and efforts into Morgan.
Fortunately, Morgan wasnât like Arthur Woods, who would bully others with his status.
He maintained the same relationship with his friends as before.
Today, as usual, the headmaster came to check on him.
He meant to look through the window to see if Morgan was satisfied with his lunch.
Who knew that he overheard Morgan talking to Adrian on the phone?
It even involved such sensitive topics as biological and stepfathers.
Headmaster Woods couldnât resist his gossiping heart and followed Morgan in.
Of course, even if Adrian was Morganâs stepfather, Headmaster Woods would still treat Morgan extremely well.
âOf course heâs my real father!â When Morgan realized what was going on, he said, âHeadmaster, how could you eavesdrop on my phone call? And you didnât even understand what you were eavesdropping on!â
âNo, no.â Headmaster Woods hurriedly waved his hands and explained, âI just accidentally overheard it.â
âThatâs why I came to you for confirmation so as not to misunderstand anything,â Headmaster Woods explained.
Morganâs eyes darted around, then he asked, âIf he were my stepfather, would your attitude towards me change?â
âOf course not!â Headmaster Woods knew that Morgan was a smart kid.
He couldnât use the same explanation for children on Morgan.
It was better to be clear as with adults.
So, the headmaster honestly said, âBiological or stepfather, they are both fathers!â
Morgan grumbled in his heart before saying, âWell, heâs my real father, so donât guess wildly!â
âThis is just how we banter in our daily lives.â Morgan added an explanation.
âAlright, alright.â Headmaster Woods nodded his head quickly to show that he understood.
âHeadmaster, you shouldnât eavesdrop on peopleâs phone calls! Thatâs wrong!â Morgan protested again.
And he made a mental note to be more cautious about eavesdropping when talking on the phone in the future.
This headmaster was really out of line.
âI really didnât do it on purpose. I promise I wonât eavesdrop again in the future.â Headmaster Woods hurriedly said.
After Adrian Zhekova finished talking to Morgan,
Cindy didnât know what to say about him anymore.
When it was time for Adrian to go to the company, Cindy prepared Cheese Sticks for him.
She baked them fresh after finishing lunch and had Adrian take them to the company.
âBut, you canât send pictures to Morgan again!â Cindy said, and then added, âVideo calls and phone calls are also not allowed.â
Adrian Zhekova: ââ¦â
The trust between him and Cindy had completely crumbled.
âAlright.â Adrian Zhekova could only nod in agreement.
Even if he couldnât call Morgan, send videos, or send pictures in the afternoon, he could still tell Morgan personally when he came home at night.
Cindy didnât know Adrianâs plan and sent him out with confidence after seeing him agree.
With her being alone at home, she started making the cake.
In the afternoon, at about four oâclock, Morgan came back from nursery.
As soon as he entered the door, Morgan said eagerly, âCindy, can I also come home for lunch from now on?â
Cindy: ââ¦â
Was this little guy pondering about this matter all afternoon?
âDad only came home today because he happened to be passing by, he wonât be coming back every day.â Cindy said, âItâs too tiring for you to go back and forth from nursery every day at noon.â
Morgan immediately pouted his lips, âEven if Dad only occasionally comes back, I still feel Iâm at a disadvantage.â
Cindy: ââ¦â
Cindy had a bright idea and said, âThink about it, before we met Dad, you had been eating the food and snacks I made for a long time, but he had never tasted them.â
âEven if he occasionally comes home for lunch, it would take several years for him to catch up with you.â Cindy said.
Unexpectedly, such thoughts existed. Morgan didnât think about this.
