With one deal after the next, Mr. Q gradually overcame the other men to become Aiden's favorite and most suitable 'daddy' candidate.
As for whether Mr. Q would be the most suitable 'husband' for his mother, Aiden had to further examine him to be sure.
"Q, let me tell you something..."
After playing with the game console enthusiastically, Aiden suddenly turned serious and said, "I went to the kindergarten with Mommy today, and we were bullied. They said I couldn't attend that kindergarten because I didn't have a daddy. I really liked that kindergarten, and It makes me so sad that I'm not allowed to attend. Is it true that children without a daddy like me are always doomed to be inferior?"
Mr. Q's brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and he asked in a low voice, "How can you not have a daddy? Didn't you say that your daddy was Liam, the sixth son of the Osbornes?"
"Ah... Since we're already so close, I will tell you the truth. Indeed, Daddy Liam is my daddy, but he's not my real daddy. Mommy has already broken up with him, and she doesn't want to give him trouble. Because of that, I'm not allowed to look for him..."
"Broken up?"
Mr. Q's tone seemed a little playful, but he followed up with more urgency, "Then, do you know who your real daddy is?"
"Of course I do!"
Aiden hooked a finger toward the man with a mysterious look on his face.
"Come closer and give me your ear. I'll tell you!"
The man frowned, but he did as he was told. He bent down and brought his ears closer to the child. There was clear tension in the man's broad shoulders as he waited with bated breath.
Aiden blinked his big eyes and said cutely, "It's a secret, but I don't actually have a daddy. I only have a mommy. Mommy said she carefully raised me in a spirit stone for several months, then 'boom,' and I popped right out!"
Mr. Q was speechless. He must be a real dumb*ss to let a little kid tease him like this!
"Q, don't you believe it?"
"You barely meet the qualifications to be my daddy, but to be my mommy's husband, I'll still need to think about it and do some tests. If it works out, I'll arrange a meeting with my mommy. If it fails, I'll look around to pick someone else for her," Aiden said, logically explaining Mr. Q his ideas.
Mr. Q indifferently asked, "Did your mother agree to all this nonsense?"
"What do you mean by nonsense? My mommy is a young, single woman in her prime, and it's only natural that she finds someone. She not only agreed but even encouraged me to find someone for her. It's just that... my mommy is very demanding!"
"Is that so? Let's hear it, then," Mr. Q said with great interest.
"First of all, my mommy likes tall, handsome young men. So, men below 188 centimeters, under thirty years old, and lacking good looks fail the criteria immediately."
Aiden rubbed his chin while talking as he continued to consider Mr. Q's eligibility.
"I've known you for so long, and your height and age seem fine. I just don't know how you look. You might want to start by taking off your mask?"
