It was five gold coins, and looked quite comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rocking chair will be ready in five minutes. Where do you want me to put it?” the system asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, on this balcony. Tell me when it’s ready.” He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to do a magic trick before Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a cool night in early autumn, with gentle breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, come here! We’re going to have a contest to see who can quack better. Will you be our judge?” asked Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag was taken by surprise.Is she trying to make a cat quack like a duck?He gave a wry smile. “Amy, Ugly Duckling might not be a normal duck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow! Meow!” The kitten nodded its agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy also nodded. “I know.” Then she turned to face it. “You’re a very ugly duck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow…” Ugly Duckling cried in dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag gave a shake of his head and smiled.It seems she won’t accept that it’s actually a cat—at least not for a long time.“Why do you want to have this contest?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because it doesn’t know how to quack. It won’t be able to communicate with other ducks. No duck will like it.” Amy gave a worried look at the kitten and lifted its head with her little hand. “Study harder! Or no food tomorrow!” she said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow!” the kitten answered quickly, looking up at Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quack, quack, quack…” Amy said. Actually, she was doing quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow, meow, meow…” said Ugly Duckling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy stomped her foot. “No! Listen carefully! Quack, quack, quack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitten lowered its voice in fright. “Meow, meow, meow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you stupid duck! It’s quack, quack, quack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow, meow, meow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will give you one last time. You’d better do it right this time! Quack! Quack! Quack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow, meow, Quaow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it. You’re done. No duck will like you.” She patted Ugly Duckling on the head. Then she looked up at Mag. “It’s so stupid, Father. I don’t think it will make it to adulthood. What about…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. We’ll make sure that it grows up,” Mag said as Amy swallowed. He knew very well what was on her mind. He stroked her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition was over before it even started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rocking chair is ready. When do you want it?” the system asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In 30 seconds. Put it here,” Mag said, pointing to the right. He smiled at Amy. “I’ll do a magic trick for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy’s eyes lit up. “Is it magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. But they’re quite alike in some ways.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!” Amy clapped her hands and looked at Mag with expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need a chair if we want to watch the stars here, right? And preferably a chair we can lie in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy nodded. “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at here and don’t blink,” he said, pointing to the right. “Ta-da!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy was staring with wide eyes, but after three seconds, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag was still extending his arm, abashed.What the hell?! Where is that damn rocking chair?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow!” Ugly Duckling called out behind him suddenly. Amy turned to look. “Father, look! It’s a chair!” she exclaimed in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag turned around and found the rocking chair sitting behind him, rocking. Ugly Duckling was trying to climb into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry about that,” the system said apologetically. “It’s heavy. But it won’t happen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag was furious, but he had to smile.It did that on purpose, I’m sure. It struck back, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mag nodded. “Yes. My magic tricks are a little rusty these days.” He pushed the chair and it started rocking back and forth. It looked good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rocking shook the kitten off and sent it rolling on the floor. Finally, it stopped and looked around confused, not knowing what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re so amazing, Father! I want to be as powerful as you are!” Amy said, looking up at Mag with adoring eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll be much more powerful than me after you master how to use magic.” Mag smiled and stroked her hair, contented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on. Let’s watch the stars.” Mag got in the chair and moved over for Amy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amy nodded. “Okay.” She climbed into the chair with effort and threw herself into Mag’s arms, giggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re so beautiful,” Mag said, holding Amy, rocking the chair gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no clouds and no flashing neon lights, the sky was so clear and deep. The stars were shining brightly. Mag couldn’t remember the last time he saw such a spectacular night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know how to sing ‘twinkle, twinkle, little star’, Father?” Amy asked suddenly, looking up at Mag.\u003C\u002Fp>",770,"2026-06-05T15:39:47.671Z",1,"novelbin.me","e023028e9cdb412a16fec18d8ca2c1f9149ec6fb1c11f45a0565dcb326193473","a-stay-at-home-dad-s-restaurant-in-an-alternate--chapter-176","a-stay-at-home-dad-s-restaurant-in-an-alternate--chapter-174",2489,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-stay-at-home-dad-s-restaurant-in-an-alternate--cover.jpg"]
