Chapter 71

Chapter 71 The triplets came to an agreement immediately.

Knock, knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked at their door.

“It’s naptime, kids.” Molly’s voice was heard outside the door. The triplets were anxious as they instantly hid under their blanket and responded, “Okay, mommy!”

When they got up after their nap, the triplets went on their separate ways to complete their mission.

Claudia used the excuse of sending desserts to go next door.

“Uncle Sean, you have to balance work and leisure. I’m going to watch a movie with my brothers tonight. Will you be free? Can you watch the movie with us?” Claudia blinked her bright eyes as she invited Sean.

Sean initially had a meeting tonight, but he hesitated when he got Claudia’s invitation.

Claudia said endearingly, “Uncle Sean, we’ve never watched a movie together. My brothers want to watch a horror film, and I’m scared.” She walked up to him and clutched his arm as she swung it from side to side.

Sean could not bring himself to reject Claudia’s cuteness, so he agreed. “Sure, what time?”

“Eight-thirty at night!” Claudia’s eyes sparkled. She was worried that he might regret it, so she immediately said, “You have to come alone, okay? Don’t bring Uncle Tony along. He talks too much, and it’ll ruin the mood.”

Claudia scrunched up her nose when she mentioned Tony, looking extremely cheeky.

“Alright,” Sean arched his brows and responded with a nod. When Claudia got what she wanted, she skipped back home, as agile as a monkey.

Looking at her, Sean smiled unknowingly.

Around 8:30 pm, Sean arrived at their home on time.

The triplets had already been waiting for him. They changed into their dinosaur onesies after freshening themselves up. They looked extremely adorable as they hugged their thick tails. As for tonight’s female star, she was already dragged to the media room by them. In the end, the triplets started to yawn around 9:30 pm. They rubbed their eyes with their tiny hands as they nodded off. “We’re tired, mommy.”

10 Molly knew this would happen as they usually sleep rather early. It was rare for them to stay up so late. “Then let’s watch this next time. I’ll send you all to bed.”

She was about to stand up while she spoke.

‘No way!’

‘If mommy leaves, our plan will fail!

“It’s okay!” Alex immediately stopped her as he continued, “You hardly get to rest, mommy. You’re either taking care of us or treating Uncle Sean. Just stay for the movie and take some time off. You don’t have to care about us, though it’s sad that we can’t finish it. But you can watch it and tell us about it tomorrow!”

“Yes, ves!” Ben and Claudia nodded as they played along.

Without waiting for Molly’s response, they ran out of the room without looking back. They even closed the door as if they worried she would follow behind them. Molly felt that something was strange, but she would never expect that her triplets were creating some alone time for her and Sean. She glanced over at Sean, who was sitting next to her, and wondered, ‘We’re the ones who invited him over, so it isn’t good if I left, right?’ So, Molly sat back down and continued watching.

However, the movie on the screen started to take a twist. It was a foreign horror film that started off with a suspenseful plot. But toward the end of the film, the male and female leads started to make out.

‘What?!”

‘They were just escaping a second ago, and now they’re making out in the woods? That’s too much!’

Molly started to feel awkward as she shifted her gaze, but her eyes accidentally met Sean’s.
