99 plastic surgeries, back as his fiancée's stepdad.

"So you don't dare to confess to me?"

"Yes, I do."

I nodded heavily.

When Victoria heard my affirmative answer, her face immediately broke into a smile.

You can see that she is in a very good mood now.

"You little rascal, if I don't take the initiative, are you going to bury your love for me deep in your heart?"

"I'm more afraid of not being able to be with you than having you."

I took the initiative to reach out and cup Victoria's cheeks.

Then he kissed her red lips.

After a fierce battle with lots of sweat.

Victoria was much more sober now.

She snuggled in my arms like a little girl.

I worriedly said, "I'm afraid Ms. Rossi won't be able to accept the situation we're in now..."

Victoria looked up at me and said, "What Ms. Rossi? She is your daughter from now on."

“……”

During dinner.

I prepared a table of food as Victoria instructed and waited for Isabella to come back.

After she got home.

As soon as the mother and daughter sat down, Victoria saw that I was done, so she waved and said, "Come here."

I took off my apron and walked over.

"sit."

I just sat down.

Isabella immediately frowned, looked at her mother in confusion and asked, "Mom, what do you mean by letting Ryan sit at the table?"

"My dear daughter, Ryan Gallagher and I are in love. From now on, you can no longer call him Ryan. You have to call him Mr. Gallagher, or... Dad."

Victoria took my hand with a sweet look on her face and solemnly introduced my new identity to her daughter.

Isabella immediately stood up and pointed at me in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "Mom, are you kidding me? You...you want me to call him dad?"

"Daughter, I know it's hard for you to accept it at first, but you and Mr. Gallagher are truly in love."

Victoria held my hand, looking very happy.

Isabella's brain almost shut down.

She never dreamed that she would find the cook herself.

In just one month, he became his stepfather.

The key point is that she doesn't know that this "stepfather" is her ex-fiancé Ethan.

"Mom, let's go up and have a chat."

After Isabella calmed down.

The mother and daughter went upstairs.

After a while.

I could hear the quarrel between the mother and daughter from downstairs.

"Mom, he is 27 or 28 years younger than you. If you want to play with him like before, I have no objection..."

"Daughter, I'm not playing this time. I'm serious."

"How serious can you be? You've only known him for a month."

"I've been watching him for a month and I think he's fine."

"Mom, can you please wake up?"

"I am very sober."

"There's no way you two can do that!"

"Who said that? As long as we truly love each other, age is not a problem at all. Besides, I have taken good care of myself. Even if I go out with him, others will not misunderstand us."

"Mom, we've finally gotten to this point, and there's still no clear news on whether Ethan is alive or dead. If you're so irrational, it's easy to ruin everything we've worked so hard to get!"

"You suspected Ryan might be Ethan. You said you wanted to find an opportunity to test him. Have you done so?"

"I've tested it, and he's not Ethan."

"If that's the case, then what's the problem with me and him being in love?"

"Mom, I just think it's weird for you two to be together. You two won't have a future..."

"You mean to say that he is after my money?"

“Absolutely!”
