Chapter 740
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
âAh, itâs Daddy Q, and heâs come to play with us! Let me go open the door!â Abbyâs rosy cheeks were the colour of apples as she grinned and rushed towards the door.
âDaddy Q, youâve arrived. We missed-â She opened the door while standing on tiptoe, and the smile died on her face when she realized the tall and attractive guy standing outside the door wasnât Mr. Q.
âWow, uncle, youâre quite handsome,â she said adoringly. âAre you lost? Who are you searching for?â
Stefan looked down at Abby standing there adorably. âExcuse me, does Renee live here?â His icy stare softened involuntarily.
âHandsome Uncle, why are you searching for my Mommy?â Abby was naive, and spoke bluntly.
Stefanâs eyes widened slightly when he heard this. âYour Mommy?â
âYes. Renee is my Mommy. She is still working, so youâll have to wait a bit if you want to meet her!â
Abby liked Stefan instinctively, and pulled him into the house by grabbing his large hand with her small, pudgy fingers.
When she noticed he was carrying a basket of bright red cherry tomatoes, she acted like an adult and politely said, âOh, Handsome Uncle, you didnât have to bring us a gift! The cherry tomatoes look delicious and sweet though, so Iâm sure Mommy would like them!â
He was speechless when he heard this.
Stefan, who was 6 feet tall, stood still as Abby grasped his hand. He didnât dare move or speak, and just obeyed her instructions, feeling his heart melt at her cuteness.
When Adie discovered that Abby had brought a stranger into their home, his guard instantly went up.
âWho are you, and what brings you into our home?â
He crossed his arms and glared at Stefan, his expression serious.
Stefan stared back at Adie in shock, surprised by the little boy who had the same coldness and solemnity as him.
Adie was like a mini Stefan, while Abby was like a mini Renee. He felt a rush of emotions in his heart.
âAre you also Reneeâs child?â He asked Adie.
âIâm not going to answer that until Ren gets home.â Adie quickly pulled Abby to him, looking at Stefan like he was a monster.
Abby, meanwhile, put a hand on her brotherâs shoulder reassuringly. âAdie, I believe this uncle is a nice guy,â she remarked pleasantly. â You donât have to be scared of him. Heâs most likely Mommyâs friend.
He even gave us a bunch of delicious tomatoes!â
She was eating a tomato as she spoke, and the delicious flavour of it reinforced her belief that Stefan wasnât a bad guy.
Adie frowned hopelessly and scolded her, âAbby, didnât I warn you not to trust strangers? Youâve never even met him before, so how do you know heâs not a jerk?â
âOh, thatâs simple. Bad people are ugly. Their faces will be scarred and they will be large. But this uncle is incredibly attractive, even more so than Daddy Liam! How could he possibly be bad? Heâs surely a nice guy!â
Stefan was taken aback and said, âLittle child, you and your mother are very much alike â you two are both shallow.â
He remembered how Renee fell in love with him because of his looks. Genes were such a curious thing!
