Chapter 121

Chapter 121 That voice belonged to Sean’s third aunt, Whitney Anderson.

She had her mind on something else, not the company’s affairs.

“I heard we have an engagement coming up with the Nolan family. How strange, Sean. Why didn’t you tell us about your engagement with Miss Nolan?”

Ignoring the looks on everyone’s faces, Whitney continued, “Should I congratulate you now?”

“There’s nothing of that sort. I’m not close with Miss Nolan.” Sean denied Whitney’s statement coldly.

No matter who was talking to him, be it testing him or impressing him, he would respond to them perfectly. After a few exchanges, everyone started to feel a sense of disinterest, so they did not continue any further. Since it was a gathering, the Anderson family did not leave right after the meal and went on to stay for tea and chit-chat with Mr. Anderson Sr..

However, they were not talking about daily mundane things. They were a big family with a big business, so it was only natural for them to be a little scheming at heart. Sean knew about this, so his patience would always run short after their family dinner.

When the clock hit 9 pm, it was Sean’s third time looking at the clock. “It’s getting late, grandpa. I’ll be making a move now.”

“It’s late, so you should just stay for the night. The rooms here are cleaned every day.” While Mr. Anderson Sr. was speaking, he got someone to prepare the room for Sean as well.

But Sean did not have the patience to stay back. “It’s alright, someone is waiting for me.” Before Mr. Anderson Sr. persuaded him to stay, Tony immediately went up to Sean and pushed him out.

“Are you seeing someone?” Whitney was surprised as she thought about the gossip about Sean and Miss Nolan.

‘Is this the case?’

‘It’s late. If he isn’t meeting a woman, what else could he do? Talk business with a client?’

‘Whatever it is, I don’t believe him.’ Sean’s parents did not respond as well. ‘How could our son be seeing someone? His house is empty. Other than him, only Tony lives there.’

‘But still, who would be waiting for him at this hour?’

Sean was unaware that the Anderson family was gossiping about him after he left.

It was already 9:30 pm when he arrived home.

When he got off the car, he immediately went over to Molly’s place. As soon as he pressed her doorbell, Molly answered the door.

The triplets were all in their cute pajamas and Molly had just ordered them to go to bed. But when they heard Sean’s voice all of a sudden, their sleepiness vanished into thin air. “Uncle Sean!” Claudia leaped toward him. “I haven’t seen you for a few hours, Uncle Sean. I’ve missed you!” She stared at Sean with her round, glistering eyes as her sweet words echoed in the air, melting Sean’s ice-cold heart. Molly laughed as she could not help but pinch Claudia’s chubby cheeks. “Now that you’re done with your sweet talk, please go to bed.” She loved her children, but she would not coddle them. Ben was reluctant as he thought, ‘I just met Uncle Sean...! “Mommy, can we talk to Uncle Sean for a while? We haven’t seen him for a long time.” Ben looked at Molly with his puppy eyes as his chubby hands tugged on the hem of Molly’s shirt.

His gaze would melt anyone’s heart, Even Alex, the most sensible of the three, felt the same way.

“Mommy, please give us some time. We promise that we’ll sleep before 10 o’clock at night! We promise!” Molly was about to object, but she could not bring herself to say it.

‘Fine. My kids are all so adorable. How could I reject them?’

So, she gave in. “Please come inside.”
