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

Amy brought the big sisters over. All of them were very enthusiastic when it came to eating.

However, Amy only talked about Kiddo when they reached the restaurant.

Gina had a child! And, it was with Boss!

This shocking news caused the ladies to go into an uproar.

"Something isn't right. Gina has only been at the restaurant for six months. How did she have a child?" Yabemiya said with befuddlement.

"Could it be that the merfolk have a shorter gestation period and that they give birth within a few months?" Angela guessed. "After all, we succubi only need six months to give birth to a child."

"But… Gina stays with us daily and she never seems to be very intimate with Boss, right?"

"Have you guys forgotten that Gina stayed on the restaurant's second floor for some time when she first came? Perhaps, it was during that time…"

"Boss is an animal!"

The ladies' curiosity for gossip was fired up. They pushed open the door and came into the restaurant. They wanted to interrogate Gina and Mag to find out when they had got together.

Then, they saw the adorable little girl who was sitting on Gina's lap and flipping through the drawings, engrossed by them.

The little girl was very tiny and she sat in a very well-behaved manner. She had a head full of long and wavy blue hair. She had a small and delicate face, sparkly bright blue eyes, long eyelashes, a cute little nose and little mouth.

"Oh my heavens! She's so pretty!" Firis covered her mouth and said with amazement.

"Yes. She's just like Amy. She's simply too cute!" Jane nodded too.

"Is Boss' genes that powerful? She's so pretty. I want to have one myself after seeing her." Yabemiya's gaze seemed to be melting as she smiled lovingly.

"No way." Elizabeth shook her head.

Kiddo turned to look at the door when she heard the voices. Then, she saw a group of beautiful big sisters pouncing towards her.

"Come, Kiddo. Let Auntie carry you. Auntie will give you sweets."

"Kiddo, let Big Sister carry you. Big Sister has a lot of toys."

"Let me carry her. I want to carry her too."

***

All of them crowded around Kiddo, cooing at her. They had all but forgotten about the gossip.

Gina looked at Kiddo, who was already holding all kinds of toys and gifts, smilingly. The little one was so blessed. So many people doted on her.

At first, she was worried that she couldn't take care of Kiddo alone. Looking at the situation now, she no longer had to worry about it. Everyone loved Kiddo.

Angela got closer to Gina and smilingly asked, "Gina, you have kept this secret from us for so long. Pray tell, when did you have this child? When did you get together with Boss? When do you want to hold the wedding? When are you going to be officially introduced as Mamy Restaurant's lady boss?"

The restaurant became quiet instantly after Angela's questions. Everyone's gaze turned onto Gina.

They already had a child and Mag also acknowledged that Kiddo was his child, so he would definitely be responsible for them.

"This…" Gina blushed. She couldn't answer any of those questions.

Yabemiya put her arms around her shoulders and laughingly said, "You're still feeling shy. Don't fret. We'll help you beat Boss up if he dares to bully you."

"Yes. We won't let him bully you." All the ladies chimed in.

Gina blushed so furiously until her ears turned red. Her gaze turned to the kitchen, seeking for help.

"Yo. It's pretty lively today." Just then, a cold voice spoke up from the side and a golden beam flashed. Irina stepped out of it.

The restaurant became quiet instantaneously.

"Princess, Gina has a child, and it's the Boss'." Firis stepped forward and pointed to Kiddo in Rena's arms. "That's Kiddo. She's so adorable."

"The boss' child?" Irina's gaze swept onto Kiddo like a knife. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees as well.

Kiddo, who was holding onto a big pile of gifts happily, was suddenly taken aback. Her smile disappeared and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Irina. It was as though she was being targeted by her stepmother.

"This child?" Irina looked at Kiddo with shock in her eyes. Although she couldn't see her true identity clearly, she could sense that this child was unusual.

Then, she looked at Gina and her shock intensified. Gina was still a 9th-tier magic caster in the morning, but now she was a 10th-tier great magic caster.

"Why are you all standing around? Go wash your hands and then we can eat." Mag carried a few dishes out from the kitchen and smilingly said to Amy, "Little Amy, bring Kiddo upstairs to put down her gifts. Anna, help Annie carry her drawings upstairs too please."

"Yes," Amy answered and took half of the stuff from Kiddo. She brought Kiddo upstairs.

Anna also helped gather all the drawings on the table and then carried them upstairs with Annie.

"You're good, Boss. You gave the restaurant another little boss quietly," Angela said whilst a funny expression was on her face at the same time.

All of them had tons of questions and they were prepared to interrogate Mag.

Mag put down the dishes and threw a glance at Irina sheepishly before saying to all of them, "Actually, this child isn't Gina's and mine. The little one happened to see us when she was born, so she took us to be her parents. She's a little mermaid. She's from the same race as Gina."

The restaurant became silent instantly and everyone's mouth formed an 'O'.

"Kiddo is my daughter and she always will be," Gina said to all of them with a serious expression, "Hence, I would like all of you to help keep this secret for me and don't ever let the child know about it. Thank you, everyone."

Everyone didn't know how to react at that moment. They were embarrassed to be told that they were wrong about the child.

Irina was thoughtful and her body relaxed immediately.

"I'll also continue to be Kiddo's father and provide a happy childhood for the little one," Mag said smilingly.

"But…" Yabemiya said hesitantly.

"Hurry up, Kiddo. It's time for dinner!" Amy's voice came from the staircase, accompanied by the sounds of footsteps running down the stairs.

Yabemiya changed the topic and smilingly said, "Let's celebrate Kiddo's arrival tonight. We won't stop till we're drunk!"

"Yes. Let's celebrate Gina gaining a daughter. It's worth a feast."

The children came down and all of them changed the topic with a tacit understanding.

After they knew the truth, everyone no longer talked about the topic of Gina being the lady boss.

Mag heaved a sigh of relief. He felt he had passed by danger narrowly again.

Irina picked up her red wine glass and smilingly said to Mag with a weird smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Mag. For gaining a new daughter."

"Thank you." Mag clinked his glass with her. He could sense the 10,000 knives within her smile.
