Richard kept his eyes fixed on Mommy and the calm look on her face, wondering if she was putting on a front.
"Mommy, are you angry?" Richard asked cautiously.
"I am." Cordy nodded.
"Daddy might have lost his memory…"
"Dicky, he's not your daddy. Don't call him that next time. It's not good if other people misunderstand things," Cordy reminded him.
This time, the girl did not realize that Richard was calling Lucas.
If she did, it would be hard for Cordy to explain things.
"Oh, okay." Richard nodded.
"As for why I'm angry, it's not because Lucas has a girlfriend. I already knew that. I am angry because how exactly is he better looking than you are?" Cordy became angrier the more she thought about it.
Her son was clearly the most handsome person in this whole world.
All right, she admitted that she was biased as his mother. But she could not accept Lucas saying that he was more handsome than her son.
"Er…I think that Daddy, no, I mean Lucas does look better than I do." Richard's face blushed.
"How could you think so lowly of yourself?! How is he better looking than you are? He does look decent, but objectively speaking, he's not as good-looking as your daddy."
'But he is my daddy!' Richard thought.
'Fine.
'Daddy might have changed in how he looked.'
Fine.
He did agree that his original Daddy was more handsome.
Just then, Sean walked out of the shop with three cups of milk tea in his hands.
He was originally not interested in milk tea as well, but because Cordy wanted some, he bought a cup for himself too.
Each of them had a cup to themselves.
Cordy drank a mouthful of the tea.
It did not taste as good as she thought it would be.
"This doesn't taste good at all!" Sean said exaggeratedly. "It's too sweet."
Cordy chuckled. She agreed wholeheartedly with him.
