Ellie Doyle fell silent for a moment before correcting, "You should call him Uncle Hayes."
Quiana Doyle was reluctant, "Oh, all right."
Watching the little girl's expression, Hugo Hayes rarely smiled, "If Professor Doyle's daughter agrees, she can consider me as her daddy too."
Quiana Doyle: "!"
Before she could speak, Ellie Doyle expressionlessly declined on her behalf, "Thanks for your kind offer, Mr. Hayes, but let's not. Quiana's father is the jealous type, and he'd be upset if he knew."
"Is that so?"
Hugo Hayes's tone deepened, and his relaxed expression suddenly tightened as he coolly responded, "I thought Professor Doyle was divorced already."
"Of course not," Ellie Doyle said flatly without missing a beat, speaking a lie she didn't believe herself, "Besides, I plan to try for twins again this year, depending on whether my husband is available."
Quinnie Doyle: "?"
Quiana Doyle: "??"
When did they get a daddy? How come they didn't know?
