"!!"

Shirley once again realized what it meant to be flattered.

She didn't refuse him directly but said, "Mr. Roberts, the little one is good enough for me."

The man had been busy all day. How could she let him just eat a little bit of food at dinner?

But Johnson acted as if he hadn't heard a thing. He ate the noodle elegantly before he raised his head to look at her, pretending that he didn't hear her clearly.

He did this on purpose! There was no doubt about this!

Shirley had to give up. Now that he had eaten the noodle, she wouldn't eat anything with his saliva on it.

Forget it. With so many servants in his house, it would be stupid for her to worry that he would be starved.

Shirley picked up a large bunch of noodles with chopsticks, blew it, and stuffed it into her mouth. Every single noodle was sent into her mouth constantly with the soup. It was very delicious.

Her slurping sounded in the living room.

Shirley focused on deliciousness for no more than five seconds, but soon she discovered that something was wrong.

Because she saw that everyone stopped to look at her. Flynn, Tom, Johnson, Alice...

Lining up from near to far.

Shirley chewed up the noodle immediately. Since there were still noodle in her mouth before she could swallow them all, her cheeks bulged, and her voice was vague, "What, what's wrong?"

Was it not tasty?

But she felt that she cooked it pretty good this time.

Alice, who was nestled in Johnson's arms, giggled and pointed out her problem sharply, "Mommy, it was too loud when you ate the noodle! Your sound is louder than the total volume of Daddy's and Flynn's!"

Boom!

Shirley's face was hot, her body drowning in embarrassment!

So, they didn't stop because the food didn't taste good but she didn't look very indecent while eating!

Shirley swallowed the noodle in her mouth anxiously. She wanted to explain for herself, but when her gaze met the slight smile at the corner of Johnson's mouth...

Gosh!

So, he could laugh.

And he looked so good when he smiled!

For a while, Shirley was obsessed with his smile.

Seeing this, Flynn turned to look at Mr. Roberts as well. It was incredible that his boss laughed!

This was feeling like the iron tree could bloom or the pig could climb to the tree. Bah!

His boss was such an outstanding man. How could he compare him with something like a pig?

When Johnson saw the two staring at him, he finally realized that he was amused by the woman, so he coughed and became serious again.

Shirley also regained her senses. Now that the boss had cued them, she also continued to lower her head to eat the noodle, not daring to stare at him again.

But this time, Shirley lowered her voice a lot when eating the noodle, for fear that she might embarrass herself again.

Johnson felt as if she was as restrained as Tom when he had first started to learn etiquette. Suddenly, his expression softened again, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

When they finished eating the noodle, it was already 10:30.

Under Shirley's gaze, Tom carried his little schoolbag on his back obediently and was ready to leave with them without Johnson's warning.

Before leaving, Tom raised his little hand and touched Alice's head, saying, "Alice, I'll be here next time to play with you."

Alice nodded toward Tom, and then looked at Johnson with a distressed look, "Will Daddy come next time?"

"Yes," Johnson responded.

Hearing that Alice was getting used to calling him Daddy, Shirley realized it was time for her to do something to stop her baby from saying that again.

They could just take it as a joke if Alice called him that way for once. But Johnson was not her father, so that was not the right thing to do.

Shirley walked to Alice and spread out her palm, "Give me your hand."

Alice knew that Mommy was going to hit her palm. She held her two small fleshy arms and shook her head, "Why do you want to punish me, Mommy?"

Shirley explained, "That's Mr. Roberts, not Daddy. You should change your way of calling him."

Alice looked at Johnson subconsciously, expecting help.

But Shirley saw through her first, and her face turned gloomy for realizing how Alice relied on him, "Don't you dare try to look around!"

Alice's big eyes were moist again upon hearing the yelling. She stretched out her little hand and grabbed her Mommy's sleeves, begging, "Mommy~"

After all, Shirley didn't want to embarrass their relationship, so she picked up Alice and walked to Johnson, "Baby, say goodbye to Uncle Johnson, Uncle Flynn, and Tom."

"Goodbye, Tom, Uncle Flynn..." Alice followed her mother and said the above. But when it was Johnson's turn, she didn't want to call him Mr. Roberts.

Seeing her groaning, Shirley was almost pissed off again, wondering why her little girl recognized her father randomly.

Suddenly, her arms were empty because Johnson held Alice over.

"Hey!" Shirley looked at Johnson in surprise.

Johnson gently covered Alice's eyelids with his thumb and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Goodbye, Alice. Daddy will take you out next time." After he said that, his cold lips fell on Alice's forehead. He gave her a kiss.

Alice's face was full of surprise, and she felt as if she had been kissed by an angel!

The grievance that Mommy wanted to hit her palm just now disappeared instantly. There was only joy filling her heart!

Johnson put down Alice, "Go, tidy up the toys and get ready to sleep."

"Yes, Daddy!" Alice ran away.

Shirley held back her displeasure, believing this man was doing this to go against her.

She felt it was necessary to talk to him, telling him the essence of Daddy was not just a simple address but a responsibility!

"Mr. Roberts, Alice is still too young to tell the difference between jokes and truths," Shirley said seriously.

Johnson stood in front of her and looked at her quietly.

Flynn had already brought Tom downstairs wisely.

Seeing that the man did not show any dissatisfaction, she continued, "In Alice's view, Daddy is not just an address. Daddy is a member of the family. He is someone who lives with us, accompanies her to the park on weekends, sends her to school, and attends her parents' meeting. So, please don't make this kind of joke to Alice. Of course, I know you are doing this out of good intentions, but it's wrong to cheat."

Shirley was helpless.

It was all her fault. She became pregnant before marriage, and she didn't even know who Alice's father was.

She was also shocked when she heard the news of her pregnancy a few years ago.

Although the man had never taken contraception measures, she had made sure that she took pills every time.

Although she knew that taking that kind of pill frequently would cause great harm to her body, she knew she should not get pregnant.

Later, she was finally relieved. She didn't have to enter the man's room every night. She thought to herself that the sunshine followed the rain. Unluckily, she found herself pregnant at this time.

Because of her special blood type, if she gave up this child, she might not have the chance to be pregnant anymore.

At that time, she had been struggling for a long time. The reason for her struggling was very simple: No one would like to give birth to a child who came to this world because of shame.
