Chapter 5 - Mommy Is Afraid of Men

"What about you, my dear brother?" Lisa held a lollipop in her hand and took a bite and asked Alex.

"I will follow mommy. I cannot be missing in order to protect mommy from being bullied." Said Alex.

"We are the same as you." The two little beauties said in unison.

"But if mommy marries the named father, do we call him father?" Lisa asked them innocently.

"That possibility is very small." Said Alex, with a face that showed some sadness. "Having a complete family, he had thought about it, but was it possible? Since that night seven years ago."

"Because seven years ago that night, mommy became so afraid of men, and the culprit was the named father," Said Lisa.

 Alex's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, shrugging helplessly. "Although mommy's attitude towards those men is not as resistant as before, it would still be very difficult for mommy to date a man." Said Alex.

"Is there any way to make mommy less afraid of men?" said Lisa. And her tone carried a hint of regret, a strong sense of sadness. Because every time she sees other kids playing with their fathers, she feels a little unhappy because she doesn't have one.

"There's nothing we can do but let nature take its course. If mommy and the named father don't love each other, forcing them together won't lead to happiness." Said Lily. Her face was tinged with a faint melancholy.

"But it's not impossible. Do you remember where mommy said she was going for an interview today? And it's the secretary of the CEO?" said Alex. His red eyes showed a hint of joy. He said: "Perhaps things may not be as bad as we imagine? There's a saying, 'Things will work out in the end.' It's too early to draw conclusions now before things have even started."

"Bretton Group." The two little girls called in sharp voices.

After Alex's reminder, the two little beauties were initially confused, but in the end, their eyes were shining brightly, weren't they?

"How could I forget about this? It really shouldn't have happened. It seems that things always turn out this way, so coincidentally!" Said Lisa.

"Originally, mommy went to Bretton Group for an interview because the CEO of Bretton Group was a woman, but soon it was not the case!" Lily said: "Such a result is truly unpredictable! No wonder people always say that thoughts can't keep up with changes. This thing that happened to mommy is a vivid example, isn't it?"

"That's right. It's Bretton Group. This is a rare opportunity to test if mommy and the named father if they will fall in love with each other." Alex slowly said the words that made the two little beauties happy under their gaze.

"My dear brother, do you think a man with a father's name would be interested in an ugly woman?" said Lily. Thinking back to Alice's appearance this morning, Lily's face looked a bit awkward.

It is hard to imagine a beautiful woman dressing up as an ugly woman. Who would have thought that a beautiful woman would intentionally make herself look ugly? After all, women love to be beautiful.
