When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Try to Get Married

“Well…”

Alisha stole a glance at Shirley. She stammered, keeping a secret from Shirley.

“You have to abide by the rules of the game. Your nose will grow longer like Pinocchio if you lie.”

Mr. Quintin frowned and warned Alisha in a serious tone.

Shirley was also interested. She smiled and encouraged Alisha, “What secret is it? Tell me. I also

want to know about it!”

“You can’t be angry if I tell you.”

Alisha blinked and looked at Shirley cutely.

“I promise I won’t be angry. Everyone has secrets, and so do I.”

Shirley thought that she was an open–minded mom. As long as her children didn’t steal anything or rob anyone and obeyed the law, she would raise both hands in favor of their unique ideas.

“Well then, I will tell you about it.”

Alisha took a deep breath. She held Shirley’s hand with her soft, fleshy hand, and her beautiful little face was very serious. “Mommy, I want to tell you that my brother and I want a daddy. Although you have always told us that without a daddy, we will still live a very happy life, we think that if we have a daddy, our life will be happier.

“Mommy, I want to ask you seriously. Can we have a daddy?”

Shirley was stunned.

The gentle smile froze on Shirley’s lips.

Seeing this, Alisha immediately corrected herself. “Mommy, I was just joking with you. My brother and I don’t have to have a daddy. We are very happy to have you. Don’t be stressed, and don’t be

angry with me.”

“No, no, no, silly girl. How can I be angry with you? I just…”

Shirley paused and said sadly, “It’s just that I’m very surprised. I didn’t know that you and Ben were

eager to have a daddy!”

From the moment Bennett and Alisha were born, they didn’t have a daddy. Shirley usually told them picture books or fairy tales, trying to eliminate their daddy’s role from their life.

Moreover, Bennett and Alisha were quite sensible and never showed their desire to have a daddy in

front of Shirley.

Therefore, Shirley always thought that Bennett and Alisha did not need something like fatherly

love.

Although Bennett and Alisha didn’t mention this, it didn’t mean that they didn’t want a daddy. They

didn’t want to stress Shirley out, so they never talked with her about this.

Shirley suddenly wanted to cry. She felt that she was not as sensible as her two children…

Mr. Quintin said coldly, “Isn’t it obvious? All children want their fathers. No matter how perfect a mother is, she can’t replace a father’s role. You must be selfish as you don’t even know this.”

Shirley was already quite sad. Mr. Quintin rubbed salt into her wounds, which made her

inexplicably angry.

“What do you know? You, a bachelor, have no say in this!”

“Why?”

“Well, why don’t you tell me what must be done by a father, and a mother cannot replace him?”

Mr. Quintin was stunned and said in a deep voice, “Let me think about it.”

Shirley said, “A mother can do everything that a father can, but it’s not the same the other way around. So one can live without a father, but he must have a mother.”

Mr. Quintin was unconvinced. “What must be done by a mother?”

Shirley replied, “Childbirth and breastfeeding. Can you do it? If you can, forget what I said.”

Mr. Quintin was rendered speechless.

Just then, Bennett, who was at the side, said in a low voice, “Mommy, there is something both Daddy and Mommy can do, but Daddy can do it better than Mommy.”
