“You… you’re Mag?!”

A voice came from the kitchen.

Mag turned. He saw an elf in a blue dress standing at the door, looking at him in shock with her hands over her heart.

She was very beautiful and had very defined features and figure. Even her flowy dress could not hide her voluptuous figure.

If it wasn’t because she looked a little funny holding on to her heart like she was having a heart attack, Mag thought that everything was fine.

“I feel that you can be a bit more natural. Don’t put your hands over your heart. Use your expression to show what you’re feeling right now. A little shock and surprise, and that feeling of guilt. It would be better if you could have some tears welling up in your eyes.” Mag suggested with a smile.

“As a strong, independent woman, tearing up is not befitting of my character.” Irina rejected.

Mag shook his head. “A strong, independent woman would not let her tears fall easily because she’s not upset yet. Isn’t it a waste to not have some tears at such a tear-jerking reunion?”

“Must I really cry?”

“You don’t exactly have to cry. After all, the climax of all your emotions should be when Amy makes her appearance. You are seeing your young daughter who you’ve not seen for three years, the longing and reality overlap, and the sudden outburst of emotion is what we’re aiming for.” Mag suggested.

Irina put her hand down and told Mag, “Isn’t it how it was when I saw Amy for the first time?”

“Yeah. What you’re performing is what you felt back when you saw Amy for the first time. Just follow that feeling.” Mag nodded with a smile.

“It’s a bit challenging for me to display my emotions in front of so many people.” Irina shook her head.

“Relax a little. We all know each other. Actually, all you need to do is behave naturally. Don’t force it too much and make people think that Amy has a strange mother. Back then, you left home due to some instability in your mental health. That’s all.” Mag comforted her

“Scram!” Irina stomped off and practiced on her own.

Mag smiled and continued making porridge.

Irina’s shape-shifting skill was actually quite good. It was not a cheating method like the face-altering mask. She used magic to change her appearance and maintained it.

This was akin to changing heads and it would be difficult for one to tell that she had changed her looks.

Although she looked drastically different, she was still the most beautiful.

Mag naturally had no opinion towards that. He could not possibly expect her to make herself look ugly. That would be too much to ask for the Lady boss.

“Amy baby, from today onwards, Mommy is coming back officially,” Irina told Amy during breakfast.

“Aren’t you always around? You even slept with Father last night.” Amy bit into her soup dumpling and looked at Irina confusedly.

Irina froze a little and quickly replied with a smile, “What I mean is, from today onwards, I am coming back officially as your Mother. From today onwards, you can tell everyone that I am your mother.”

The dumpling in Amy’s mouth fell into her bowl. She looked at Irina in surprise and said, “Really?! I can tell everyone that you are Amy’s mother?”

Irina looked at Amy’s happy face and felt a little bad all of a sudden. She smiled and stroked her head as she said with a nod, “Yes.”

“In that case, can you attend the next parent-teacher meeting with Father?” Amy asked.

“Mm. We’ll go together.” Irina nodded.

“That’s great! I am so blessed!” Amy slid down her chair and pounced into Irina’s embrace.

Irina hugged her and said with a smile, “But, in order to prevent some trouble, I will come back with another appearance, just like back in Rodu. This is a secret and Amy has to keep this secret from everyone.”

Amy nodded thoughtfully. “I understand. I can’t let everyone know that Mother is the Elf princess, so baddies won’t come looking for us.”

“Brilliant. My daughter indeed.” Irina stroked her head with a smile.

“Annie has to keep this secret for me too,” Irina told Annie.

Annie nodded obediently. She signed with a smile, “We can all have breakfast together in the future.”

To avoid suspicion, Irina would always have breakfast beforehand and leave so that she would not meet the others and that would save the trouble of explaining why she slept over.

When she has the status of the Lady boss, she would not have to wake up earlier just to eat breakfast and leave. She could sleep for however long she wanted to and go downstairs to demand that Mag makes her breakfast.

“I have to make it clear that other than counting money, I will not be involved in anything related to the restaurant, including cashiering,” Irina told Mag.

She was back to become the Lady boss and did not want to be as busy as she was back in Rodu. That was not the kind of Lady boss she wanted to become.

She had many things to handle, including matters relating to the Night Elves.

“Alright, alright, alright. We can’t trouble our Lady boss.” Mag nodded with a smile.

“I’m full. I’ll make a move first. I’ll be back once I’m done with my things.” Irina put her chopsticks down and left.

After Irina left, Amy looked at Mag with a troubled look and said, “Father, if Mother comes back, what would happen to Kiddo and Big Sister Gina? Do you intend to make Big Sister Gina your second wife?”

Mag looked at Amy who was full of worries and found it funny. How did this little one know about second wives?

However, with her mother’s combat capabilities, even if he had that intention, he would not have the courage.

It was just as Amy said, with Irina back, and Kiddo around, solving this problem would be a headache.

“It’s not just Big Sister Gina. Those Big Sisters who are in love with Father would all be broken-hearted,” Amy said, feeling troubled with her chin propped up on her hand.

“Alright, finish your dumpling and go next door for class.” Mag interrupted the little one’s worries with a smile.

“No. I don’t want to go over to Teacher Urien’s place so early. I want to wait for Kiddo to come and then I’ll play with her for a while before going. The wishing well hasn’t given me my things.” Amy shook her head.

Mag thought for a while. It seemed that Kiddo’s arrival had triggered Amy’s System to give her a new mission. He just did not know what the mission was but Amy seemed to be finishing it already.

“Alright. We’ll leave a little later.” Mag nodded. After that, he reminded her. “Remember what your Mother said just now. Don’t let the cat out of the bag.”

“Mm. I remember.” Amy nodded obediently.
