Chapter 54
Triplets on Secret Mission by Lamour Toujours
Chapter 54 Grandpa Dave immediately understood the whole situation, but he did not really mind either way. âNo matter the reason, fate has brought you together as neighbors.â âThatâs right! Itâs fate!â Alex nodded vigorously, expressing that Grandpa Dave was right, and he agreed with Grandpa Dave wholeheartedly. Claudia was even more straightforward. She stood in front of Sean and wrapped her arms around his arm as she showed a sincere expression. âUncle Handsome, you donât have to be so formal. We really like you.â âIâm done cooking. Go wash your hands. Lunch is ready.â At the same time, Molly walked out of the kitchen, asking the triplets to wash their hands before they ate. They responded unanimously, âSure.â They then went to the washroom diligently to wash their hands. Sean and Grandpa Dave sat at the table as well, followed by Tony, who sat next to Sean. Tony could not help but swallow as he looked at the various dishes that filled the table. Molly then served two bowls of herbal soup that she carefully prepared for both her patients.
The soup was brewed with revitalizing and nourishing herbs that tasted slightly bitter. âYouâve started your treatment, so you can take this herb more often to help build your body back up. Try it. It might taste a little bad, but good medicine tastes bitter. Iâve already tried my best to cancel out the bitterness,â Molly explained as she looked at Sean. Sean took the bowl of soup with his slender fingers. He grabbed the edge of the bowl and took a sip out of it. His eyes glimmered as he said, âNot bad.â
He had already prepared to gulp down the bitterness of the soup. But after taking a sip, he realized that it did not taste as bad as he expected. The herbs were carefully brewed, so the soup tasted light and refreshing with a slight tinge of a bitter aftertaste.
âItâs best if you can get used to the taste. Iâll give you the recipe after weâre done eating. You can get Mr. Tony to prepare it for you once a day,â Molly responded faintly. The same goes for Grandpa Dave, whose soup was also to replenish his health.
âGrandpa, I added fewer herbs in your soup. It contains mostly tonics, so itâll probably taste better. Try it. I couldnât take care of you because I wasnât around you last time, but I can now! I will take good care of you now that weâre living together.â Molly had a bright grin on her face as she spoke gently. Needless to say, she was genuine. Grandpa Dave chuckled, âFor now. Youâll probably grow tired of me after some time.â
âNonsense!â Molly rebutted with a laugh.
Grandpa Dave joked laughingly, âMmm! Itâs delicious! Itâs a lot better than those oily chicken soup I had!â
The triplets were done washing their hands very quickly.
They climbed onto the chairs and sat at the table, taking their cutlery as they chattered happily. Sean took his cutlery with elegance like an aristocrat. His eyes wandered around the table while he was eating, listening to them with a faint expression and smiling when it was appropriate. Later on, his mind started to wander off as he looked down subconsciously. His gaze fell onto the plate before him, deep in his thoughts.
âMy home had never been this fun and warm!â
