“Hey! Brat, are you teaching me how to be a man?” Vincent stared at the serious-looking Oscar irritatingly.
“Yes!” Oscar nodded his head.
Reggie laughed too.
Leila was even more embarrassed.
“Doesn’t what I said make sense? Do you think I’m right, Leila?” Oscar reached out to shake Leila’s hand, “Leila, do you think I’m right?”
“Well, yes!” Leila could only nod her head.
“So you are now on his side?” Vincent frowned and glanced at Leila. There was a hint of chagrin in his low voice and he turned his eyes towards Reggie.
Reggie only smiled.
Vincent’s eyes then turned to the location of the kitchen and smiled suddenly. “Oscar, your daddy is simply being too much of a gentleman and that’s why your mummy left your daddy!”
“Is that so?” At the mention of his mummy, Oscar’s handsome face turned gloomy and his innocent soft tone made people want to care for him more. “Daddy, then you don’t have to be a gentleman next time!”
“Hum!” Reggie was relieved but he nodded in annoyance.
“So is Mummy coming back soon?” Oscar laughed crisply.
“Well, do you know why your mummy refused to come back?” Vincent seemed to have a trick.
“Why?” Oscar’s attention was drawn away.
Vincent looked unpredictable, and he then sat up straight and shouted, “Rosa, please fetch me the lamb whips, lamb balls, and kidneys that I have packed in the kitchen just now! I’ll roast them.”
“Oh! Okay, Mr. White!” Rosa immediately went to get them.
Reggie frowned.
“What is lamb whip?” Oscar frowned and asked uncomprehendingly.
“Well, you need to ask your daddy, but I can tell you that as long as you find a way to get your daddy to eat this, your mummy will come back soon!” Vincent talked to Oscar with a bad smile.
“Vin!” Reggie didn’t expect that Vincent tricked him like this to make him take the aphrodisiac to be stronger, “I won’t eat such thing!”
“Why, daddy? Don’t you want mummy back?” Oscar was even more puzzled.
Vincent puffed out a laugh and looked at Reggie whose face was dark, then he cut another piece of meat for Leila in a great mood, “Honey, eat the meat!”
Leila didn’t know what those things were but she didn’t dare to ask more about it as Reggie’s expression seemed a bit strange.
“Because Daddy can’t get used to eating that!”
“But Mummy will be back if you eat it!” Oscar said again before he suddenly asked Vincent, “Vincent, are these things fairy medicine? How come Mummy will come back if Daddy eats them?”
“Hum! Well, this…” Vincent smiled lightly and said in a profound manner, “They are indeed fairy medicine. Do you know why your daddy is not in a hurry to get your mummy back?”
“Vin!” Reggie had spoken up as if he was warning. “I’ll do it all myself from now on and never bother you again, okay? Don’t teach my boy a bad lesson!”
“Boys have to know it sooner or later! My dear, let me tell you that these things can cure your daddy’s adrenal hormone secretion, so that he can be more passionate about your mummy and after eating all these, he will miss your mummy more. If so, he will look for your mummy all over the world.”
“Is it so magical?” Oscar was shocked.
Leila instantly understood those things. Wasn’t that the organ from the lamb which was said to have an aphrodisiac effect? Was Vincent too good at pranking people?
Shaking his head, Reggie was somewhat helpless, and he poured a glass of wine for Leila.
“Thank you!”
“Daddy, can you eat this?” Oscar slid off the stool and went to Reggie’s side, shaking his arm. “I miss Mummy. I want to live with Daddy and Mummy!”
“Alright!” Reggie nodded his head and looked at Vincent again, saying in a deep voice, “Well, Vincent, you should eat some together later on since it’s such a good thing in order to strengthen your relationship with Leila!”
“Ugh!” Vincent was tricked and he suddenly burst out laughing in a very inexplicable way. “Sure, let’s have it together!”
The phone rang suddenly at the moment, Vincent frowned and took his phone. When he saw the number from Japan, his eyebrows knitted slightly and he answered the phone, “Mum, I’m out on holiday. Yes! With Leila!”
Leila’s heart jerked as it was her mother-in-law’s call.
“Got it, you just get yourself well, and I’ll do everything well!” Vincent said and stood up. “I don’t agree no matter how and she is innocent!”
Faintly, Leila still heard it even though Vincent had ducked to the side to talk on the phone, she still heard it and she was quite sure that the phone was talking about herself and the Hunter family.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
