Chapter 505 - Mother, You’re So Beautiful…

Under the starry night sky, Amy held Ugly Duckling in her arms as she looked up with a hint of nervous yearning in her eyes.

Mag felt as if a sharp knife had been driven into his heart at the sight of the yearning in Amy’s eyes. He had thought that he had already done a good job as a parent, but Amy still yearned for her mother. It was just like when she was sleeptalking last time; the desire for maternal love was not something that she could hide.

Mag didn’t know what Amy’s concept of her mother was like, as he had been avoiding the topic this entire time. He didn’t want Amy to realize that their family was incomplete, as that would only bring her sadness and misery.

However, it appeared that his efforts were in vain. She had already made that realization for herself, and only refrained from mentioning it as she could sense that Mag was reluctant to touch the topic.

Her thoughtfulness made Mag’s heart throb with pain and self-criticism. Even though it wasn’t his fault that she was missing her mother, a good father shouldn’t be dancing around the topic.

“Your mother is living on the moon, but Father isn’t able to get her down from there to reunite with us quite yet. Someday, I’ll be able to build a long ladder that extends all the way up to the moon with my food. We’ll be able to get her down to reunite with us.” Mag looked into Amy’s eyes with a serious expression.

“Really? Mother lives on the moon?” Amy’s eyes lit up as she looked up at the bright moon in the sky. However, she then pouted with a concerned expression as she said, “But the moon is so far away and it looks so cold there. Mother must be very lonely there, right? She must be so cold and hungry too.”

“Don’t worry, your mother is super powerful. She’s looking down at us from above, so she won’t feel lonely. She’ll wait until we can go and save her.” Mag held Amy gently in his arms as he whispered, “You’ll be able to see your mother very soon.”

I’ll make sure of that, Mag added in his heart. Rising up two tiers in a month was already good progress, but it appeared that he had to speed up a bit more.

“I believe in you, Father. You’re so awesome, Mother must be super awesome as well.” Amy nodded with a smile on her little face. She turned to Mag with an expectant look, and asked, “But Father, what does Mother look like? I’m really curious.”

“Your mother is the most beautiful woman in this world. She has long silver hair and blue eyes like yours; she’s very kind and is a great singer and dancer.” Mag actually didn’t have any recollection of Irina, either, so he could only deduce her physical traits from Amy’s appearance.

“The most beautiful woman in the world?” Amy’s eyes were shimmering with joy as she wound her arms around Mag’s neck and giggled as she said, “Father is so impressive to be able to marry a woman as beautiful as Mother.”

“Who do you think the most handsome man in the world is?” Mag asked with a smile.

“It’s Father, of course!” Amy immediately replied.

An elated smile appeared on Mag’s face. Amy sure was honest.

“Father, you said it’s going to be moon festival in a few days; we have to eat mooncakes and share them with our friends. Are we inviting friends over like last time?” Amy asked.

“This time, it’s going to be a little different. We might be sharing the mooncakes with all of our customers to celebrate the moon festival.” Mag shook his head with a smile before adding, “I’m not sure about the specific details yet, though. I haven’t made the mooncakes yet.”

Mag still had to discuss with the system about making mooncakes. There was a chance that the system wouldn’t provide the required recipe and tools, so he didn’t want to make any promises.

“I see. It would be great to have so many to share our mooncakes with. Mother would be really happy to see us eating mooncakes from above, right?” Amy turned to look at Mag.

“I think she will be.” Mag nodded with a smile. He was suddenly rather curious about what the elven princess was currently thinking and whether she missed Amy as well.

“Good night, Mother.” After playing on the balcony for a little, Mag carried Amy downstairs to tuck her into bed. Before entering the room, Amy waved up at the moon in the sky before laying her head against Mag’s chest with a sweet smile on her little face.

She’s so easy to satisfy. Even though he had lied to her, he was definitely going to fulfill that promise. No matter how difficult the task was going to be, he would definitely reunite Amy with her mother and give them a safe and happy life.

He had only just made it to the second floor, but both Amy and Ugly Duckling were already asleep. Amy wore a sweet smile on her face as if she were having a good dream. Mag gently took her shoes off and tucked her in along with Ugly Duckling.

Amy cuddled Ugly Duckling in her arms, and laid her chin on its head. A smile of contentment widened on her face as she murmured, “Mother, you’re so beautiful…”

What an adorable little girl. A smile appeared Mag’s face as he planted a kiss on Amy’s forehead. He then strode over to the bathroom with his pajamas held in his hand as he checked the reward he had received for the restaurant’s upgrade the day prior.

Beers and kebabs were one of Mag’s favorite food combinations. On a summer night, a big glass of icy beer coupled with an unlimited supply of kebabs was a heavenly duo.

He opened the beer-brewing experience bag, and a burst of information appeared in his mind.

“It’s that easy?” Mag was expecting a set of complex instructions, but the so-called beer-brewing method was even easier than making ice cream. A fully automatic beer-brewing machine was the answer to all of his problems. All Mag had to do was to put the ingredients into the machine in a set ratio, then press the “start” button, and wait.

“Due to the space constraints of your kitchen and the fact that beer-brewing has very little correlation with cooking skills, the system has invented a highly efficient beer-brewing machine. Don’t mistake this machine for the average beer-brewing machine; in order to minimize its size and maximize its efficiency, the system has incorporated several types of cutting-edge technology into the machine’s design. Not only can food safety be ensured, the variation of the amount of bubbles in the beer is restricted to a range of 0.1%.” The system’s voice was quite smug as it gave that description.
