Chapter 1221: Excuse Me...
Chapter 1221: Excuse Me…
“Ex-ex-excuse me…” Amy stared at Mag on the bed and Camilla on the floor in daze with a complicated expression. Then, she slowly stepped back and closed the door gingerly.
“Amy?” Beyond the door, Anna was looking at Amy who closed the door in befuddlement. She still hadn’t greeted Uncle Mag.
“Anna, is something bad going to happen between them if a man and a woman sleep together in the same room?” Amy asked Anna, feeling very bothered.
“I have no idea, either.” Anna shook her head before giving it some serious thought, and she continued, “However, I have heard from an auntie before that a man and a woman would have a baby if they slept together. This is how we are born.”
“Have a baby?!” Amy’s eyes lit up. However, her expression became tortured again. “Should I tell Big Sister Irina about this incident? It would be fun if I had a cute little sister, right?”
Anna looked at Amy perplexedly, but she didn’t continue to ask.
In the room, Mag who was holding the alarm clock, and Camilla, who was sitting on the floor, were dumbfounded too. They looked at each other with a complicated look.
“Remember the promise you made last night. Now, you may go take a shower in the bathroom and change into your uniform before you start to work,” Mag said to Camilla, who was gathering magic at her fingertips.
“I…” Camilla choked on her words as she recalled what had happened last night. Her body was still aching, but she had already made the promise, so she only retrieved the magic. She covered her head with the blanket and screamed. Then, she flipped the blanket away, jumped right up, and walked out of the door.
Mag sat on the bed to gather his wits. His mind was still occupied with the bright red soup base after concocting the hot pot soup base continuously for weeks. He felt a little overwhelmed.
Moreover, the problem now was what Amy would write in her little notebook after witnessing that scene earlier. Would he be able to keep both his legs after Irina read about that?
Mag was already facing a very serious trial early in the morning…
“The little one doesn’t know anything, so it should be alright?” Mag tried to convince himself as nothing had really happened last night. He made Camilla sleep on the floor for the whole night. He was really guarding his virtue.
Mag got up and changed into his chef’s suit. Then, he kept the weird stuff from last night, and threw the bedsheets into the washing machine. He bumped into Camilla, who was just coming out of the bathroom with her damp hair down, as soon as he stepped out of the room. She gave Mag a resentful glance before going downstairs.
Mag cocked an eyebrow, but he didn’t take it to heart. After all, Camilla had already sworn. He went downstairs to cook the breakfast for the cleaners after a simple wash up.
In the kitchen, Camilla had already begun to cut up the ingredients.
“Good morning, Little Amy and Anna. Why did you two wake up so early?” Mag asked with a smile as he saw Amy and Anna who were playing with Ugly Duckling when he came downstairs.
“Good morning, Uncle Mag,” Anna greeted obediently.
“Good morning, Father.” Amy, too, raised her head up and greeted him. Then, she looked toward the kitchen, and asked in a soft voice, “Is Big Sister Camilla going to stay in your room from now onward?”
“???” Mag hummed as he pondered on how to explain this to Amy.
“Then, is she going to have a baby?” Amy continued to ask in a small voice.
“Erm???” Mag raised his eyebrows and looked at Amy with disbelief. Who taught her that?
The chopping sounds in the kitchen stopped abruptly, and the restaurant quieted down instantly.
Anna stared at Mag, and then looked toward the kitchen as if she had already found out something.
“Little Amy, actually, last night… hmm… Big Sister Camilla was sick. She came to the restaurant to ask me for help. As it was already very late, I let her sleep on the floor for the night while I slept on the bed. We wouldn’t have a baby like this.” Mag tried to explain.
“You wouldn’t have a baby?” Amy was disappointed to hear that. She wanted a baby siser to play with them.
“Yes. We are not going to have a baby.” Mag heaved a sigh of relief.
“Then, you two go and have one.”
“No can do.” Mag quickly shook his head. He continued to explain when he saw the puzzlement on Amy’s face. “We can only have a baby with our spouse, and not with other women. Camilla is not Father’s spouse, so she cannot have a baby with me.”
“Then… What about Mother? When will you go fetch her home and give me a little baby?” Amy asked after thinking for a moment.
Camilla, who was holding a knife with murderous thoughts in the kitchen, turned her ear to a side to try to hear clearly. Mag had never mentioned Amy’s mother, and nobody knew who and where she was. She suddenly felt an unexplainable nervousness.
“Soon. Father will bring her home very soon,” Mag said with a smile.
“It’s fantastic!” Amy smiled brightly. “Then, you two will give me a baby to play with.”
“Sure.” Mag nodded and smiled, but this wasn’t up to him to decide.
He can still get her back? Seems like it’s impossible between him and Miss Gloria. Camilla had an elated expression. However, she felt an unexplainable emptiness in her heart, and she thought with annoyance, Jerk. He surrounded himself with so many pretty girls when he already had a wife and kid. He is using food and jobs to cheat them of their love.
Anna was hugging Ugly Duckling with an envious look in her eyes. She could no longer see her mother ever again.
…
After settling Amy, Mag went into the kitchen, but he didn’t find any ingredients designated for the hot pot on the stove or in the fridge.
Mag walked one round in the kitchen to make sure he didn’t miss anything before inwardly asking, “System, where are my ingredients?”
“Ding! The restaurant is not in the optimal condition to introduce the hot pot. Could the Host please set up a designated hot pot area first? The restrictions on all the hot pot ingredients will be released when the mission is completed! The right to operate the hot pot will be cancelled if the mission fails!” The System’s voice appeared in Mag’s mind.
…
On the treetop outside of the restaurant, Caesar yawned and shook off the snow accumulated on its body as it worriedly said, “Why hasn’t Madam come out since last night… Did she get herself stuck in this night attack again?”
It had been guarding outside of the restaurant for the whole night, making sure nobody got in or out of the restaurant. Without any interference, given Madam’s power, it should be easy for her to take care of Mag.
However, it didn’t expect that Madam didn’t come out of the restaurant for the whole night. What should it do now?
