A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 712 - Not the Face!



Chapter 712 Not the Face!

The answer was already very apparent to Mag, but he still wanted to hear Amy’s reply.

There was a very good chance that she had just met her mother for the first time, and two of them had just undertaken a mother-and-daughter bonding exercise by beating up Brent.

That was… a little too much for him to handle.

Mag had thought extensively about what the first meeting between Amy and Irina would be like. He had even considered getting the system to make a moon replica so Amy wouldn’t think that he had been lying to her.

Father really does seem interested! Amy blinked as she whispered into Mag’s ear, “She told me her name is Irina. She also told me to keep that a secret, so I’m only going to tell this to you.”

“So it really was her…” Mag was afflicted by a series of complex emotions. Even though the answer didn’t surprise him at all, it still dealt him a rather heavy blow.

From an emotional perspective, all of Alex’s memories and feelings toward Irina had been wiped away, so Irina was nothing more than a stranger to Mag.

Mag had transmigrated from a different world, and he was a completely different person compared to Alex, so he certainly had no intention of filling in for Alex as Irina’s lover. That simply wouldn’t be fair for either of them.

However, the undeniable fact was that she was Amy’s mother, so they were connected whether he liked it or not.

As for his own personal feelings toward Irina, Mag would have to ascertain those after meeting her in person.

In his heart, he would have to recover his former power and gather sufficient allies before seeking out Irina, but who would’ve thought that she was also in Rodu, and that she would bump into Amy here?

“Father? Father? Are you thinking about Big Sister Irina?” Amy waved her little hand in front of Mag’s eyes.

Only then did he return to his senses. He asked, “Did you tell her your name? And did she say anything to you?”

“I told her my name was Xiao Mi, and Big Sister Irina said that she was going to come and find me again. I can introduce her to you next time.” Amy’s eyes were wide with excitement, and her expression was saying “praise me, Father!”.

Looks like she’s already suspecting some things. Mag’s emotions were cast into even more turmoil. If it were possible, he would naturally want Amy and Irina to reunite as well. He wanted Amy to know who her mother was so she could receive the maternal love that she deserved.

However, the king’s birthday was imminent, and representatives from all races had flocked to Rodu. Sean and Josh were also constantly lurking in the shadows, and there would be countless pairs of eyes focused on Irina’s every move. If his cover were to be blown, he would most likely experience the same thing as three years ago.

On that occasion, even Alex was unable to protect Amy; how could Irina possibly defend him and Amy at the same time?

Mag didn’t want to experience the same tragedy again, but he couldn’t bear to see Amy and Irina brush shoulders without identifying each other.

The image of Amy murmuring for her mother in her sleep was still fresh in his mind, and he could only imagine what it felt like for Amy to have such a gaping hole in her life.

What should I do?

Mag felt as if he were being faced with an irresolvable predicament.

“You should be calling her auntie,” Mag said to Amy. He couldn’t allow her to call her mother big sister, as that would completely jumble the generational hierarchy.

“Father, big sisters won’t like you if you call them old.” Amy shook her head as if she were teaching Mag a valuable life lesson as she continued, “Big sisters have to be called big sisters. If you call them auntie, they won’t like you.”

Mag opened his mouth, but was at a loss for a reply. Who would’ve thought that she would be so good at reading women’s hearts? However, if she didn’t know that Irina was her mother, then why did it appear as if she was trying to hook him up with Irina?

Amy seemed to have seen the question in Mag’s eyes, and she continued, “Father, the moon is so far away; wouldn’t it be very difficult to rescue Mother from there? I feel like you’ll be too lonely when I’m taking my lessons, so how about I find you a wife? That way, she can stay with you, and I’ll replace her after my lessons so she can go home. I feel like Irina is really good for that job.”

That’s your mother you’re talking about! rolled his eyes internally. He didn’t know how to respond to Amy, who was trying to hook him up with none other than her own mother. He finally knew why she was being so enthusiastic now.

He found it quite amusing that Amy was talking about a wife like she was talking about a shift worker, but he was mostly very touched by her thoughtfulness. She was so worried that he would be lonely by himself that she was even willing to set aside her mother.

“What do you think, Father? My idea is super awesome, right?” Amy was looking at Mag with an expectant look as she said, “If we get a wife for you, she’ll also be able to help you wash the clothes and prepare the ingredients. You won’t have to work so hard then, Father.”

“You think you’ve got it all figured out even though this is the first time you’ve met her?” Mag tapped Amy’s forehead with a smile.

According to the information that he had gathered on Irina, Amy’s plan was clearly unrealistic. The elven princess was not someone who would be content to wash clothes and prepare ingredients all day. Even if she were willing to do that, it simply wouldn’t feel right to him.

Mag looked around before he said in a serious voice, “Amy, don’t tell anyone about seeing Big Sister Irina here, ok?”

Amy looked at Mag with a serious expression and nodded as she replied, “Don’t worry, Father, I definitely won’t introduce her to anyone else. You have to work hard, though!”

“What is in that little head of yours?” Mag couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He didn’t speak any further about this subject as he carried Amy downstairs.

As things currently were, he could only think on his feet and adapt to the situation as it transpired. He also had to hope that Irina would be smart enough not to act rashly and blow his cover.

Mag carried Amy down to the first floor, and all of the magic casters parted to create a path for them. All of the magic casters were looking at Amy, some with resentment in their eyes, while others were quite excited as if they were witnessing a future legendary figure.

“Everyone, get out of the way!”

All of a sudden, Roy and two other magic casters stormed down the stairs, carrying Brent on a stretcher as he yelled, “President! Master Brent was attacked and has been severely injured!”

All of the magic casters erupted into an uproar as they looked at the disfigured Brent.

“What happened?” Richard was also quite stunned to hear this as he hurriedly made his way forward. The fact that Brent had been beaten to such a horrific extent in the Magus Tower was most definitely a direct act of provocation to their Magus Tower. What unsettled him even further was that he had been completely oblivious as the incident was taking place.

“Hart, treat his wounds,” Richard commanded with a dark expression.

A magic caster with a medium build stepped forward before unleashing healing magic. Blue light enveloped Brent’s body, and his bruised and battered face slowly began to recover toward a more normal pallor.

After throwing up a mouthful of blood, Brent slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that he caught sight of was Amy, and his eyes immediately widened. He threw his arms around his head reflexively, and howled, “Not the face!”
