Chapter 545
The Untouchable Ex-Wife
With one deal after the next, Mr. Q gradually overcame the other men to become Aidenâs favorite and most suitable âdaddy1 candidate.
As for whether Mr. Q would be the most suitable âhusbandâ for his mother, Aiden had to further examine him to be sure.
âQ, let me tell you somethingâ¦â
After playing with the game console enthusiastically, Aiden suddenly turned serious and said, âI went to the kindergarten with Mommy today, and we were bullied. They said I couldnât attend that kindergarten because I didnât have a daddy. I really liked that kindergarten, and It makes me so sad that Iâm not allowed to attend. Is it true that children without a daddy like me are always doomed to be inferior?â
Mr. Qâs brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and he asked in a low voice, âHow can you not have a daddy? Didnât you say that your daddy was Liam, the sixth son of the Osbornes?â
âAh⦠Since weâre already so close, I will tell you the truth. Indeed, Daddy Liam is my daddy, but heâs not my real daddy. Mommy has already broken up with him, and she doesnât want to give him trouble.
Because of that, Iâm not allowed to look for himâ¦â
âBroken up?â
Mr. Qâs tone seemed a little playful, but he followed up with more urgency,â Then, do you know who your real daddy is?â
âOf course I do!â
Aiden hooked a finger toward the man with a mysterious look on his face.
âCome closer and give me your ear. Iâll tell you!â
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 manâs broad shoulders as he waited with bated breath.
Aiden blinked his big eyes and said cutely, âItâs a secret, but I donât actually have a daddy. I only have a mommy. Mommy said she carefully raised me in a spirit stone for several months, then âboom,â and I popped right out!â
Mr. Q was speechless. He must be a real dumb*ss to let a little kid tease him like this!
âQ, donât you believe it?â
âHaha⦠What do you think?â
Naivety and pureness filled Aidenâs glassy eyes, and he hurriedly explained, âI really didnât lie! Mommy told me that! You can ask her next time if you donât believe me.â
Even though Aiden hadnât believed it back then when Renee had explained it to him like this, this kind of statement used to coax idiots were really what Renee had told him.
If he used the same words she did, Aiden shouldnât be lying, right?
After all, Mr. Q and that jerk, Stefan, were enemies, and if Aiden were to divulge the truth to Mr. Q, his life would probably be in danger. He wouldnât have the chance to find a daddy if that happened, much less a husband for his mother!
âAnd?â
Being played by the little kid like a fool, Mr. Q wasnât sure whether he should be angry or laughing, so he asked coldly, âWhatâs the purpose of telling me all this?â
Aidenâs eyes shone brightly. He gave Mr. Q a sunny smile and said kindly,â Donât you think Iâm pitiful for not having a daddy? Donât you have the impulse to be my daddy?â
âThatâs⦠a possibility.â
âYou barely meet the qualifications to be my daddy, but to be my mommyâs husband, Iâll still need to think about it and do some tests. If it works out, Iâll arrange a meeting with my mommy. If it fails, Iâll look around to pick someone else for her,â Aiden said, logically explaining Mr. Q his ideas.
Mr. Q indifferently asked, âDid your mother agree to all this nonsense?â
âWhat do you mean by nonsense? My mommy is a young, single woman in her prime, and itâs only natural that she finds someone. She not only agreed but even encouraged me to find someone for her.
Itâs just that⦠my mommy is very demanding!â
âIs that so? Letâs hear it, then,â Mr. Q said with great interest.
âFirst of all, my mommy likes tall, handsome young men. So, men below 188 centimeters, under thirty years old, and lacking good looks fail the criteria immediately.â
Aiden rubbed his chin while talking as he continued to consider Mr. Qâs eligibility.
âIâve known you for so long, and your height and age seem fine. I just donât know how you look. You might want to start by taking off your mask?
