Loretta suddenly had the idea to recreate the castle her father led built before, and soon everyone was curious, Stacey couldn’t help but look at it a few more times and felt amazed herself. However, this complicated castle was definitely not something that ordinary children could easily build.
Seeing the curious eyes of Lillian and Kevin, Stacey walked over She decided to try building a castle herself. Eventually, even the tidy Debra joined in, and Loretta unintentionally got involved as well. They shared ideas and worked hard together. The three children surrounded them, watching curiously as their parents tackled the big castle.
Time flew by while they were building, and before they knew it, evening had arrived. It was dark, and suppertime was approaching. Their castle was only partially finished, but with strong encouragement from Lillian and Kevin, Stacey took photo of them with the castle.
After the photos were taken, Stacey took the two kids to wash their hands in the nearby pool. It was time for dinner after they cleaned up.
“How about coming to my house for dinner tonight?” Marissa suggested with a smile.
Stacey was taken aback.
Debra smiled and replied, “Okay. Thank you for the invitation.”
Marissa continued happily. “It’s no trouble. My husband is cooking anyway.” Her family was well–off, but they didn’t hire servants because her husband enjoyed cooking for her, and she loved the meals he prepared. They all found joy in this daily
life
“Your husband does it himself?” Debra asked, surprised.
Loretta chimed in, “My dad cooks every day. He can make lots of different dishes, and they look great! Sometimes they : flowers, sometimes animals. They’re super cute!”
“Wow, your father is amazing!” Kevin praised.
“I want a dad like that too. Can you let your dad be my dad?” Lillian asked Loretta excitedly. Loretta looked confused. Stacey, overhearing the conversation, felt speechless. She quickly reminded Lillian. “You can’t just call anyone dad.” Marissa burst into laughter, holding her belly as she stepped aside.
Stacey felt embarrassed, but Kevin added, “Why not?”
Marissa glanced over and quickly took out her phone to message Hayden. [Hayden, if you don’t come to my house for dinner tonight, Becky’s kids will call Joey “Dad“!
On the golf course, Hayden had just finished his business social activities for the day when he received Marissa’s message. He was confused and sent back a question mark
Seeing the question mark in Hayden’s message, Marissa quickly explained what Loretta, Kevin, and Lillian just said.
Hayden paused, silent for a moment, before he walked out decisively.
Marissa waited a long time for Hayden to reply, but he didn’t. She wasn’t worried, though; she was sure he had seen the message. The thought of what his expression would be made her want to laugh. She was so happy.

Stacey explained for a long time, but Lillian and Kevin didn’t understand why Loretta’s father couldn’t be their father. After all, Jeremy’s father could be their father.
Stacey felt a bit weak in her reasoning and had to turn around to apologize to Marissa first.
Marissa’s facial muscles twitched with laughter. She was so happy today. Hearing Becky’s explanation, she quickly reassured her, “It’s okay. It’s just a small matter. Kids are like this when they’re young: they don’t fully understand yet. I get it”
Ten minutes later, Marissa took Stacey and the others back to her house. Twenty minutes after that, Hayden arrived.
In the yard, Lillian and Kevin were stunned to see “Daddy‘ coming. They ran toward him excitedly, shouting in surprise, “Dad!” They both hugged his legs.
Loretta was shocked, wondering why her uncle became the father of Lillian and Kevin. She didn’t know about this before..
Stacey felt a bit embarrassed.
“We also have a dad!” Lillian said proudly.
“Yes, Jeremy said that his dad can also be our dad!” Kevin added.
Marissa and her husband Joey chuckled at the kids‘ excitement.
Hayden naturally bent down to pick up Lillian and Kevin.
Stacey was startled and rushed over, worried that the children might fall.
Feeling awkward, she hesitated for a moment and finally managed to explain, L… actually, I want Lillian and Kevin to accept you as their godfather and for Jeremy to accept me as his godmother if it feels right. Then our kids will have more parental figures.
“What are you doing, Becky? I’ve heard Hayden has a good character and comes from a nice family. You two were engaged when you were little. I think you’re a perfect match. If you like him, we can plan a wedding anytime, so why do you need to do this?”
“Lillian, Kevin, are you both okay with that?” Marissa then turned to the twins and joked.
“Marissa!” Hayden exclaimed, feeling speechless.
Joey quickly interjected, “Marissa, stop teasing them! Hayden hasn’t even caught up with Becky yet
Stacey was at a loss for words.
They eventually all went into the kitchen together. Marissa made sure to serve everyone a lot of delicious food while Joey continued cooking
Stacey sat in the dining area for a while. Seeing Hayden holding Lillian and Kevin, who seemed to like him very much, left her unsure of what to do. Finally, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen to help with the cooking.
Seeing Stacey head to the kitchen, Marissa immediately followed her. A moment later, Hayden entered with the two kids. When Lillian and Kevin saw Joey cooking, their curiosity peaked but they were too short to see what was happening.
“I can do that too,” Hayden said suddenly. In the kitchen, everyone stopped and stared at him, including Joey, who was preparing dinner.

But Hayden took off his coat and began to roll up his sleeves. “Yiju guys go relax today. I’ll handle dinner,” he declared.
Joey looked confused.
Marissa was shocked but quickly pieced things together. She looked from Hayden to Becky and nodded in agreement, “Yeah! I know how to cook. Hayden is just as good as Joey!”
Marissa went to the dining area, grabbed her husband Joey, and said, “Didn’t you say the other day that the tree in the garden needed pruning? Let’s go trim that tree and leave the kitchen to Hayden.”
