Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Just kidding.

He had to run; the scumbag CEO would be returning soon.

If the scumbag CEO saw that Cindy had given him something delicious, he would surely bite someone.

After Cleave left, the little fellow looked at Cindy with misty eyes.

Those big, clear eyes were so pitiful that they could break a person’s heart.

“What’s wrong now?” Cindy didn’t know why the little one suddenly had this expression.

Morgan asked, “Cindy, is there no snack for me? You used Uncle Cleave as a guinea pig?”

Cindy: “…”

“Of course, there’s one for you and Dad. Change your shoes and clothes first, and then come have a taste.”

The little one finally cheered up and quickly changed into slippers.

He went back to his room to change into home clothes and then came out bouncing happily.

Cindy took out the snack for Morgan: “You can only try one piece, or you won’t be able to eat dinner.”

The little one looked at the big box of snacks with reluctance, only able to take one piece.

His expression made Cindy laugh, saying, “You look like you’ve never eaten before. I’ll save the rest for you to take to the nursery tomorrow, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Morgan finally cheered up.

But now that he could only eat one, he didn’t want to finish it all at once, so he took small bites.

Cindy could only watch helplessly as he ate; why did he look so pitiful?

It was as if she usually withheld food and clothing from the little one.

If the child acted like this outside, people would think he was suffering a lot of abuse at home.

Morgan slowly finished his snack, and just in time, Adrian Zhekova came home.

When Adrian went to change clothes in his room, he pulled Cindy in as well.

He took the opportunity to tease and cling to Cindy.

Then Adrian said, “I just saw a bit of snack crumbs on Morgan’s lips.”

Cindy: “…”

What kind of eyes did this man have? They were so sharp.

He didn’t miss even a bit of the snack crumbs.

This made Cindy doubt; was Adrian’s Family Head ability really limited to mind-reading?

She felt that his vision was also better than ordinary people.

Adrian immediately asked, “Did you secretly give Morgan a snack again?”

Without sharing with him, Adrian’s heart was very hurt.

Cindy quickly said, “No, I prepared some for both of you. It’s a new snack I made with a new recipe. I don’t know if it tastes good, so you can try it when we drink tea at night.”

Adrian finally gave a satisfied “hmm” sound.

Listening to him, Cindy felt like she was pleasing a big dog that had been petted comfortably.

“By the way,” Adrian put on his round-neck T-shirt and said, “Do you still remember Mr. Lopez?”

Cindy was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Although she had never met the legendary Mr. Lopez, she knew that Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke had plotted against her to send her to Mr. Lopez, which had always disgusted Cindy.

So mentioning Mr. Lopez didn’t improve Cindy’s mood.

She couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

Adrian had previously investigated Mr. Lopez and showed her the information, including photos of Mr. Lopez and the child Wendy had given birth to for him.

Cindy had seen them all.

The fat and flabby appearance was truly nauseating.

If he were a good person, even if he were not good-looking, a kind heart would still make him seem good.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lopez was not good-hearted and was addicted to debauchery.

Even just looking at his photos, one could see that he had the appearance of being outwardly strong but inwardly weak due to his excessive indulgence.

Therefore, thinking of that face made Cindy feel sick.

“Wendy went to see Mrs. Lopez,” Adrian said.

Cindy raised an eyebrow: “Wendy dares to meet the other woman’s wife.”

“She went to talk about you,” Adrian said, “Wendy has been feeling that five years ago, you were truly taken advantage of. She thinks that you said you successfully ran away and lied to her.”

“She and Christy visited your cooking videos from before, and noticed that Morgan appeared in the videos. Although his face was not shown, only his hand, your fans knew that he was your son, and you never denied Morgan’s existence. So they knew about Morgan.”

Cindy frowned tightly, “I should have known that I shouldn’t have let Morgan appear in the video, not even a single hand.”

“It’s not your fault,” Adrian kissed her forehead, “You never denied Morgan’s existence, and you openly affirmed Morgan. Not showing his face is a protection for him. And openly admitting that you are a single mother, and acknowledging that you have a son named Morgan, this is also protection for Morgan.”

“You did nothing wrong. Otherwise, would you have to hide Morgan for the rest of your life?” Adrian smiled faintly, “That would be unfair to Morgan.”

Cindy fell silent.

Initially, she had thought the same way. That’s why, when Morgan appeared in the video, she didn’t cut him out.

The video happened to capture her at a key moment in her cooking process, and Morgan accidentally entered the frame.

She could reshoot the video, but it was just troublesome, not that she minded the trouble.

However, Cindy always felt that there was nothing shameful about having Morgan as her son.

If she hid and refused to admit Morgan’s existence, that would be unfair to him.

Cindy had never regretted her decision, and her fans were all kindhearted people.

They never said anything bad about Morgan and her.

But now, knowing that Wendy was aware of Morgan’s existence, Cindy regretted it a little.

She feared Wendy might think of something and hurt Morgan from behind the scenes.

Adrian said, “Don’t worry, I’m here. If something happens to Morgan under my watch, I would be too incompetent. I’ve always had people watching Wendy, so I knew immediately when she approached Mrs. Lopez and her intentions.”

Combining what Adrian had just said, Cindy suddenly had an epiphany.

She incredulously asked, “Does Wendy think Morgan is Mr. Lopez’s son?”

Adrian was already very angry; he was angry that Wendy couldn’t mind her own business and was always looking into Cindy’s affairs, not letting Cindy live in peace.

Adrian didn’t understand why.

When Cindy was not doing well, it didn’t have any effect on Wendy.

When she was doing well, it didn’t harm Wendy’s interests either.

But Wendy just couldn’t stand Cindy being well off; it was inexplicable.

Now, thinking that Wendy believed Morgan was Cindy’s and Mr. Lopez’s son,

Adrian felt disgusted.

His wife, his son, what right did they have to be associated with another man?
