“That’s okay. I know what to do,” Aiden said as he brightened up. He seemed to be in a better mood as he dug into his pasta happily.
Flossie was confused, but she asked with a smile, “What are you up to?”
Aiden said seriously, “I can’t attend Monte Perry Kindergarten because I don’t have a daddy. To solve this problem, I just need to find a daddy for myself, right?”
“That’s true. Do you have any suitable candidates in mind?”
“Of course! I’ve been choosing for many days, and someone has already qualified! Not only can he be my daddy, but he can also be your husband!” Aiden gloated smugly.
Flossie took the child’s words for granted and said, “That’s amazing! Our Adie is the greatest! I’m looking forward to it!”
It was late at night, and all was silent. Aiden made sure Flossie was asleep before quietly peeking from under the covers.
He hid in the bathroom with a walkie-talking in hand. His brows furrowed seriously as he whispered, “Emergency, emergency. Come in Q, come in Q.”
Not long after, a response came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
“Roger. Q here. Please go ahead, Adie. I repeat, please go ahead.”
“Come and meet me at Apartment XX right now. Immediately!”
“Copy that!”
After the exchange, Aiden put away the walkie-talkie and quietly left the house.
At the apartment’s gazebo, Mr. Q was wearing a mask and a black trench coat. The tall figure had already arrived as promised.
At the same time, Aiden carried his small briefcase and walked briskly to the rendezvous point under the moonlight.
“You’re right on the dot, Q. I knew I didn’t pick the wrong man! You get ten points for that,” Aiden generously praised the man who stood as tall as a mountain.
“Did you bring the stuff I wanted?” Mr. Q turned and asked seriously, revealing his stern brows and eyes.
“Don’t worry. It’s all good. Satisfaction guaranteed,” Aiden replied. In an equally serious manner, he asked in return, “Have you prepared what I asked for?”
“Done, as you requested.”
“Good. Let’s get on with the exchange!”
The two held out their respective items and exchanged them under the blanket of the night. The atmosphere was tense and solemn, and to outsiders, they may even look like some underworld deal being carried out.
Aiden handed Mr. Q a stack of photos and a video.
The subject of the photos and videos was none other than his mother, Flossie.
“Not only did I get Mommy’s perfect side, but I took a picture of her drooling in her sleep and even vlogged it! How’s that? I’m good, right? I’m sure it’s worth every penny!” Aiden bragged as he raised his chin proudly like a little adult.
Mr. Q flipped through the photos, and the stern look on his face unconsciously softened.
He had to admit that the woman in the pictures really did seem to have a thousand faces. Sometimes it was cute, sometimes innocent, sometimes flirtatious, and sometimes even silly, especially with the sound of her snores. There was a kind of indescribable sense of cuteness, and all her angles spoke of nothing but pure beauty!
“Not bad. Top quality stuff that’ll let me understand your mother better. I like them!”
The man put away the photos carefully and was obviously in a good mood.
“Your goods aren’t bad too. This game console has been out of the market for so long, yet you actually managed to get it for me. It looks like you put in a lot of effort too! Another ten points to you!”
Aiden held the newly acquired game console as he played with full concentration.
Like Flossie, the little boy was an avid video game enthusiast and collected all kinds of game consoles.
Mr. Q’s pawnshop was literally a treasure house, so it was natural there were a variety of older game consoles that had long gone out of production. The two stroked a deal and would often carry out their “trades” at night like this.
In general, ten beautiful photos of Flossie could be exchanged for a game console.
Every time Aiden got a new console, Mr. Q would patiently play it with him
With one deal after the next, Mr. Q gradually overcame the other men to become Aiden’s favorite and most suitable ‘daddy1 candidate.
As for whether Mr. Q would be the most suitable ‘husband’ for his mother, Aiden had to further examine him to be sure.
“Q, let me tell you something…”
After playing with the game console enthusiastically, Aiden suddenly turned serious and said, “I went to the kindergarten with Mommy today, and we were bullied. They said I couldn’t attend that kindergarten because
I didn’t have a daddy. I really liked that kindergarten, and It makes me so sad that I’m not allowed to attend. Is it true that children without a daddy like me are always doomed to be inferior?”
Mr. Q’s brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and he asked in a low voice, “How can you not have a daddy? Didn’t you say that your daddy was Liam, the sixth son of the Osbornes?”
“Ah… Since we’re already so close, I will tell you the truth. Indeed, Daddy Liam is my daddy, but he’s not my real daddy. Mommy has already broken up with him, and she doesn’t want to give him trouble. Because of that, I’m not allowed to look for him…”
“Broken up?’
Mr. Q’s tone seemed a little playful, but he followed up with more urgency,” Then, do you know who your real daddy is?”
“Of course I do!”
Aiden hooked a finger toward the man with a mysterious look on his face.
“Come closer and give me your ear. I’ll tell you!”
The man frowned, but he did as he was told. He bent down and brought his ears closer to the child. There was clear tension in the man’s broad shoulders as he waited with bated breath.
Aiden blinked his big eyes and said cutely, “It’s a secret, but I don’t actually have a daddy. I only have a mommy. Mommy said she carefully raised me in a spirit stone for several months, then ‘boom,’ and I popped right out!”
Mr. Q was speechless. He must be a real dumb*ss to let a little kid tease him like this!
“Q, don’t you believe it?”
“Haha… What do you think?”
Naivety and pureness filled Aiden’s glassy eyes, and he hurriedly explained, “I really didn’t lie! Mommy told me that! You can ask her next time if you don’t believe me.’
Even though Aiden hadn’t believed it back then when Flossie had explained it to him like this, this kind of statement used to coax idiots were really what Flossie had told him.
If he used the same words she did, Aiden shouldn’t be lying, right?
After all, Mr. Q and that jerk, Halston, were enemies, and if Aiden were to divulge the truth to Mr. Q, his life would probably be in danger. He wouldn’t have the chance to find a daddy if that happened, much less a husband for his mother!
“And?”
Being played by the little kid like a fool, Mr. Q wasn’t sure whether he should be angry or laughing, so he asked coldly, “What’s the purpose of telling me all this?”
Aiden’s eyes shone brightly. He gave Mr. Q a sunny smile and said kindly,” Don’t you think I’m pitiful for not having a daddy? Don’t you have the impulse to be my daddy?”
