Chapter 574

“Well…”

Abby paused after sneaking a glimpse at Renee. She was, indeed, concealing secrets from Renee.

‘ You must abide by the rules. Your nose will grow long if you lie.” Mr. Q frowned deeply and admonished Abby.

Renee was also curious and attempted to find out the truth from Abby.” What’s the secret? Tell me, I’m curious!”

“Okay, I’ll tell you, but Mommy mustn’t be angry.” Abby blinked her eyes and smiled at Renee.

“Don’t be concerned. I’m not going to be upset. Everyone has secrets, even me.”

Renee considered herself a more positive mother, believing that as long as her children did not do something wrong, she would support them.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.”

Abby stated gravely, sucking in a long breath and holding Renee’s hands with her small hand.

“Mommy, I want to tell you that Addie and I want a daddy. Despite your assurances that we can be happy without Daddy, I believe we would be happier if we had one. Can you find a daddy for me and Addie, Mommy?”

Renee was surprised, and the warm grin on her face vanished, leaving her face gloomy.

When Abby saw this, she immediately exclaimed, “Mommy, I was kidding. We don’t need a father. We are content with you. Please do not feel pressed or angry with me.”

“No. How could I be upset with you? I’m just…”

Renee stopped before saying, “I’m just shocked that you and Addie wanted a daddy.”

They had grown used to not having a father in their lives since they were born. She would attempt to obscure the character while reading a story.

Furthermore, the two children were quite understanding and never indicated a need for a father before her.

As a result, she assumed that they had never required their father’s affection before.

However, it turned out that just because they didn’t say it didn’t imply that they didn’t want a father.

They didn’t tell her since they didn’t want to put her under any strain.

She began to be sad at the thought of her attentive children.

Mr. Q replied coldly. “Isn’t this obvious? Every child desires a father. Even if a mother is wonderful, she will never be able to fill the position of a father. Do you not realize this? Or are you simply being selfish?”

Renee was despondent, and his comments did little to lift her spirits. Instead, it was like pouring salt in a wound; she was immediately enraged.

“What do you know? You have no right to talk as a single guy without children!”

“Why do I not have the right to speak?”

“What is it that a father can accomplish that a mother cannot?”

Her inquiry astounded him. “Let me think.”

“Anything a father can do, a mother can do. However, a father cannot do all that a mother can,” she rebutted.

He was dissatisfied after hearing this. ‘Can you tell me what things a father cannot do?”

“Breastfeed and give birth. Can you accomplish any of those? If you could, I’ll take back my words,”

she sassed.

Mr. Q couldn’t think of anything to say.
