�I�m sorry. I didn�t expect you to be so thoughtful.�

Mr. Q joked somewhat half-heartedly, �Fire signs are known for being silly, and Leos are recognized as the second most stubborn sign. No sign dares to claim themselves as the most stubborn one, though.�

Renee was confused. Could someone tell her why the mighty �Night Demon � was talking to her so seriously about astrology?!

As the saying goes, people can�t judge a book by its cover, and the sea can�t be measured.

At the same time, dazzling fireworks began to burst into the night sky, illuminating it with the formations of the Leo constellation.

�Wow! That�s absolutely stunning! Daddy Q set off these fireworks for Mommy! How romantic!� Abigail exclaimed in a high-pitched voice as she jumped up and down while looking at the brightly lit sky. On the other hand, Aiden acted like a mature adult and simply gave Mr. Q a thumbs up.

All in all, it seemed Mr. Q was quite a decent man. He set off fireworks because he knew Renee loved a romantic atmosphere. For this level of insight, Aiden would give him another ten points!

�It�s beautiful!�

Renee�s bright eyes were filled with a radiant glow as the clusters of fireworks reflected in them, completely immersed in the romantic atmosphere.

She didn�t notice Mr. Q slowly approaching her before whispering in her ear, �Are you ready to accept my punishment?�

Renee snapped out of her immersion immediately and turned around to face the man with a guarded look.

�What are you going to do?� Renee asked.

�It�s simple!� Mr. Q continued whispering in her ear. �Last time, I asked you to let me take Abby as my goddaughter before reclaiming Sun Island. Now I want to add on to that��

�What do you want to add? You can�t possibly want my son as your godson now?!�

�That�s not all!� Mr. Q grinned and continued whispering, �I want Abby to be my goddaughter, Adie to be my godson, and you� to be mine.�

�You�re insane!" Renee jumped away from him as quickly as a lightning bolt, standing warily as if facing a fierce beast. �I knew it! You�re like the weasel who pretended to pay homage to the chicken so that it could steal food! You only have bad intentions! I knew you were too good to be true! You made my favorite food, baked a cake with the kids, and even set off fireworks for my birthday� It turns out you were just waiting for this! You�re so greedy, taking advantage of me and my kids like this!�

Mr. Q stood with his hands in his pockets as Renee ranted, facing her accusations with calmness and poise that exuded a majestic aura. He leaned against the observation deck railing as he watched the fireworks blooming in the sky and sneered,

�Haha� I don�t have any bad intentions. Miss Everheart, do you think I did all these things, went so far out of my way, and acted in ways that were completely inconsistent with my reputation just to take advantage of you? What do you think my motives are? What do you think I want?�

�How the hell would I know?" Renee shot back. She was obviously perplexed, and she couldn�t guess what the man�s motives were.

Was he after her money? But he was way wealthier than her. Was he after her two children? But who would willingly take on the responsibility of a parent like that? Was it� her beauty? But with his status and wealth, he could have any woman he wanted. There was no need for him to pursue a stubborn mule like her. JrNovels.com
