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.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
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.”
“Oh?”
Shirley and Mr. Quintin looked at Bennett, feeling curious.
“That is to lift me high into the air!”
Alisha added, “Daddy must be taller than Mommy. I really want to sit on Daddy’s shoulder and watch
the scenery!”
Shirley didn’t know what to say She felt guilty.
Bennett and Alisha were right. There was a physical gap between men and women. Men’s tall
figures would make children feel more secure. No matter how hard Shirley tried to make up for this, she
could never succeed.
“It’s easy. Let me do it.”
Mr. Quintin suddenly bent down and stretched out his long arms, easily placing Alisha on his broad
shoulder.
“Wow, it’s so high. I can see the whole sea!”
Alisha was so happy that she giggled. She put her arms around Mr. Quintin’s neck and shouted in a
sweet voice, “Higher, higher!”
This scene merged with the blue sea and sky, which was quite beautiful and warm.
Shirley watched it from behind with mixed feelings.
In Shirley’s memory, Alisha always laughed happily, but this was the first time she had shouted so
excitedly and laughed so widely.
Perhaps, Shirley should think about her marriage and find a father for her two children.
However, the reality was cruel. It was easy for Shirley to find a husband, but it was not so simple to
find a father for her children.
First, Shirley did not want to have another child, so she couldn’t marry a man who had no children,
or it would be unfair to him.
Second, Shirley did not want to be a stepmom, so a large number of men were excluded.
Third, there shouldn’t be any man in this world who would willingly help Shirley raise her children.
Even if there was such a person, the premise was that Shirley liked him, but it seemed that she
didn’t know how to love now.
To sum it up, it would be very difficult!
May got the dishes ready and followed Shirley’s gaze. She praised, “Ms. Wilson, this friend of yours is
really good. He treats your children sincerely like their biological father. Is he wooing you? If you like
him, you can try to develop a relationship with him.”
Shirley shook her head. “He may have a crush on me, but I don’t like him. We can’t be together.”
May sighed, “I hope I’m not being too long–winded. You divorced many years ago, and your children
are getting older. It’s time to think about your marriage. You are not thirty yet. You can’t be single
forever, right?”
“So what if I’m single? Isn’t it good to be free? Besides, with you, Bennett, and Alisha, I don’t feel
lonely.”
“You don’t feel lonely now, but Bennett and Alisha will grow up and start their families. I don’t know how
many more years I can live. By then, you will know how good it is to have someone to talk to in bed,
take a walk in the park after dinner, and take care of each other… These things can only be done by
your husband.”
May regarded Shirley as her own daughter, and she was so worried about Shirley’s marriage that she
couldn’t fall asleep.
May did not want to urge Shirley to get married, but she hoped that Shirley could marry another
good man.
“Okay, I will think about it and try to get married as soon as possible!”
Shirley said half–jokingly.
At the same time, she thought, Mr. Right, when will you appear?
After Alisha played with Mr. Quintin, she ran over happily and pulled Shirley, mysteriously saying,
“Mommy, I have made a decision!”
