�Shut up, Chase!� Mr. Q coldly interrupted Chase rant.

He stood with his hands in his pockets and said flatly, �I�m not a good person. There�s no need to praise me and place me on a pedestal. I only have no ill intentions toward Adie and Abby. I only want them to be happy.�

The man�s words touched Renee. Besides Margaret and the Osborne siblings, who else was sincerely nice to her two children?

Mr. Q�s �love� truly touched her.

�Mommy, see? I didn�t lie to you. Mr. Q really is a good man, so you don�t have to be on guard with him. Try to get along with him, and let him protect and care for you,� Aiden said as he held the warm hands of Renee and Mr. Q.

"Mommy, Daddy Q has been busy all night. Do you know what he�s doing?" Abigail asked Renee in a soft and gentle voice.

The comers of Renee�s eyes were slightly red, and she asked hoarsely,

"What was he busy with?�

�You�ll find out if you come with us!� Abigail said mysteriously. She led Renee to the observation deck on the second floor of the shop.

The observation deck was built by the seaside at the junction of the three countries, and the view up there was breathtaking.

�Abby, why did you bring me here?� Renee asked in confusion as she looked up at the stars in the sky.

Abigail smiled mysteriously and asked, �Do you know what day it is, Mommy?�

�Huh? The day? Uh� the weekend?� Renee answered with a puzzled look on her face.

�It�s the ninth of August, which is your birthday, silly Mommy!� Abigail said sweetly.

�Today� is the ninth of August?� Renee suddenly realized.

Today was her birthday!

�Look behind you, Mommy!�

Renee turned, following Abigail�s finger, seeing Chase pushing a three-layer cake towards her. The beautiful cake had been meticulously crafted in the shape of a little lion, and captivating and romantic sparklers had been lit on it.

Mr. Q stood beside her and said indifferently, �The kids told me it was your birthday today, so I called them over to make this cake for you. Those born in August are Leos, so it�s no wonder you have such a fiery temper. If I had arrived any later, you might have gotten the police called and taken me away to the station.�

Renee scratched her head, feeling like her face was about to catch fire, not to mention it was as red as a tomato. JrNovels.com
