Chapter 576: Biological Father or Stepfather, They’re All Fathers
“Think about your nursery, even though the lunch is good, it’s still incomparable to what Cindy makes. Every time I enjoy such a good meal at home, I think of you.” Adrian Zhekova explained with the tenderness of a loving father.
“My heart aches!” Adrian sighed, “So I thought, if you can’t eat it, at least you can see it.”
Morgan Zhekova: “…”
Cindy Clarke: “…”
“Cindy! Look at Dad!” Morgan expressed doubt from the depths of his soul, “Is he really my biological father?”
“Of course I am. Otherwise, would I put up with him?” Adrian immediately replied.
“Alright, alright.” Cindy saw that the little guy was getting anxious and annoyed.
Although Adrian usually loses to Morgan, it must be said that Morgan is only 4 years old.
How could he be a match for Adrian in a war of words?
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Cindy asked Morgan hurriedly, “I’ll prepare it in the afternoon.”
“I want to eat Fried Pork Cutlet!” Morgan puffed up his cheeks and said.
And let Adrian eat it for two consecutive meals, let him be fed up with it!
“Okay.” Cindy thought, she would find another way to cook it.
She couldn’t let Adrian get tired of it.
She saw that Adrian’s face turned a little green when he heard what Morgan said.
After all, this man was very picky.
It’s not easy to satisfy his stomach and taste.
Letting him eat the same food in a row is really difficult for him.
Cindy wanted to take back what she said before about Morgan not being a match for Adrian in terms of verbal sparring.
Even if she didn’t step in, the father and son would probably have a fifty-fifty chance at winning.
Since Morgan couldn’t think of anything else at the moment.
Cindy suggested, “How about barbecue seafood tonight? What seafood do you want to eat?”
“Shrimp! Clams! Garlic Vermicelli Scallops! Garlic Oysters! Clam soup! Grilled squid!” Morgan’s appetite was immediately aroused, and he salivated uncontrollably as he talked, “I want to eat the kind where you grill and eat at the same time.”
“Alright!” Cindy quickly agreed, “Grilling seafood is quite simple. Just clean the seafood and that’s it. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so how about I also make you a red velvet cake?”
“Great!” Morgan couldn’t stop drooling now.
So, he was finally appeased.
Morgan happily hung up the phone.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Headmaster Woods’ big face pressed up behind him.
Morgan was startled.
He nearly fell off the chair in fright.
Headmaster Woods didn’t dare to let this little ancestor get hurt, so he quickly helped him to steady himself.
“Morgan.” Headmaster Woods smiled with a face full of wrinkles.
But the little guy felt the headmaster had ill intentions: “What’s up?”
“Is Master Adrian your stepfather?” Headmaster Woods asked quietly.
He had just come over to check on the little fellow.
Now, Headmaster Woods highly valued Morgan.
During outdoor activities, the headmaster would secretly watch from a hidden place to ensure that Morgan didn’t bump or hurt himself.
Every day during nap time, the headmaster would also come and check on whether Morgan was sleeping well.
Morgan himself didn’t know about this.
It just showed that Cindy’s considerations were very thorough.
In the whole nursery, Adrian Zhekova was a person who couldn’t be provoked by Morgan’s family.
Headmaster Woods truly put all his heart and efforts into Morgan.
Fortunately, Morgan wasn’t like Arthur Woods, who would bully others with his status.
He maintained the same relationship with his friends as before.
Today, as usual, the headmaster came to check on him.
He meant to look through the window to see if Morgan was satisfied with his lunch.
Who knew that he overheard Morgan talking to Adrian on the phone?
It even involved such sensitive topics as biological and stepfathers.
Headmaster Woods couldn’t resist his gossiping heart and followed Morgan in.
Of course, even if Adrian was Morgan’s stepfather, Headmaster Woods would still treat Morgan extremely well.
“Of course he’s my real father!” When Morgan realized what was going on, he said, “Headmaster, how could you eavesdrop on my phone call? And you didn’t even understand what you were eavesdropping on!”
“No, no.” Headmaster Woods hurriedly waved his hands and explained, “I just accidentally overheard it.”
“That’s why I came to you for confirmation so as not to misunderstand anything,” Headmaster Woods explained.
Morgan’s eyes darted around, then he asked, “If he were my stepfather, would your attitude towards me change?”
“Of course not!” Headmaster Woods knew that Morgan was a smart kid.
He couldn’t use the same explanation for children on Morgan.
It was better to be clear as with adults.
So, the headmaster honestly said, “Biological or stepfather, they are both fathers!”
Morgan grumbled in his heart before saying, “Well, he’s my real father, so don’t guess wildly!”
“This is just how we banter in our daily lives.” Morgan added an explanation.
“Alright, alright.” Headmaster Woods nodded his head quickly to show that he understood.
“Headmaster, you shouldn’t eavesdrop on people’s phone calls! That’s wrong!” Morgan protested again.
And he made a mental note to be more cautious about eavesdropping when talking on the phone in the future.
This headmaster was really out of line.
“I really didn’t do it on purpose. I promise I won’t eavesdrop again in the future.” Headmaster Woods hurriedly said.
After Adrian Zhekova finished talking to Morgan,
Cindy didn’t know what to say about him anymore.
When it was time for Adrian to go to the company, Cindy prepared Cheese Sticks for him.
She baked them fresh after finishing lunch and had Adrian take them to the company.
“But, you can’t send pictures to Morgan again!” Cindy said, and then added, “Video calls and phone calls are also not allowed.”
Adrian Zhekova: “…”
The trust between him and Cindy had completely crumbled.
“Alright.” Adrian Zhekova could only nod in agreement.
Even if he couldn’t call Morgan, send videos, or send pictures in the afternoon, he could still tell Morgan personally when he came home at night.
Cindy didn’t know Adrian’s plan and sent him out with confidence after seeing him agree.
With her being alone at home, she started making the cake.
In the afternoon, at about four o’clock, Morgan came back from nursery.
As soon as he entered the door, Morgan said eagerly, “Cindy, can I also come home for lunch from now on?”
Cindy: “…”
Was this little guy pondering about this matter all afternoon?
“Dad only came home today because he happened to be passing by, he won’t be coming back every day.” Cindy said, “It’s too tiring for you to go back and forth from nursery every day at noon.”
Morgan immediately pouted his lips, “Even if Dad only occasionally comes back, I still feel I’m at a disadvantage.”
Cindy: “…”
Cindy had a bright idea and said, “Think about it, before we met Dad, you had been eating the food and snacks I made for a long time, but he had never tasted them.”
“Even if he occasionally comes home for lunch, it would take several years for him to catch up with you.” Cindy said.
Unexpectedly, such thoughts existed. Morgan didn’t think about this.
