Chapter 239Chapter 239
“If they ask, just tell them that it’s to avoid misunderstanding. Please also let the chef know we won’t
serve them dinner from now on.”
Molly thought it would be best to keep a distance from the Anderson family. That would do good for her
and her kids as well as Sean. She had no slightest interest in being dragged into some wealthy family
feud.
Alex’s face changed one he heard Molly. He looked at his mother with a worried face.” Mommy, do you
really have to do this?” He muttered in his mind, ‘Did mommy plan to cut daddy off?’
Ben and Claudia could no longer stay put. They rushed over, wanting to dissuade their mother. “Mommy,
are we not going to dine in with Uncle Sean anymore?”
“Mommy, Uncle Sean has treated us well. Not only did he get us a tutor, he even took us on a trip.”
“That’s right! Mommy, do you remember how Uncle Sean helped us on a few occasions when those bad
people from the May family bullied us? Uncle Sean has been very good to us! Are we really going to cut
ties with him?” The triplets kept dissuading Molly. Of course Molly remembered all the things Sean had
done for them. But that was precisely the reason she did not want to become his burden.
She had made up her mind.
“Alex, be a good boy, okay? Listen to mommy. Visit next door and do what I said,” Molly repeated her
instruction. Apparently, she was firm with her decision. The triplets looked at Molly with their puppy eyes.
Claudia’s big eyes were watery. She looked like she was about to weep. Molly could not bear to watch
them, so she turned around and left.While holding the list of recipes in his hand, Alex was staring downward, wrestling with his emotions. In
the end, he got up and went next door. He handed over the list to the chef and repeated what Molly had
said. Before he left, he looked at the room upstairs for the last time, feeling reluctant to part with Sean.
The chef stared at the list in his hand, feeling puzzled. He immediately went to Tony and repeated Alex’s
words without skipping any details. Tony went panic-stricken.
Without hesitation, he dashed to Sean’s place and interrupted his boss, who was busy. Tony was so
desperate that he did not even care how his rudeness would affect his year-end bonus.
“Boss, bad news!”
Sean gave Tony a side-eye before the latter told him what Alex had said: Molly would hand the rest of
the recipes to the chef so he could prepare the medical diets for Sean, and they would not dine in
together anymore.
All of a sudden, Sean’s eyes became cold, and his face darkened. He placed his fingers on the folders.
They had become cold too. The same went with the surrounding temperature. It felt as if it had dropped
by several degrees.
novelbinTony gasped for air after talking on and on about everything. He was panting as he said, “Ms. May’s
decision must have something to do with Madam and Ms. Nolan.” Although Alex was the one who told
the chef, everyone knew he was just relaying messages for Molly.
Sean’s finger trembled a little before he clenched his fist. He was gravely unhappy. When he thought
about what his mother and Abigail had said at the dinner table, he felt regretful. ‘When Abigail came here
unannounced, I should’ve known mom was up to something when she invited Molly over.’ His mother
looked like she was trying to set him up with Abigail. But the truth was, although she did not do it
blatantly, she was trying to send Molly a warning. Sean lowered his gaze at the purplish-green veins on
his palm. He blamed himself for not taking care of Molly’s feelings. It was not easy for a mother to raisethree kids alone. When Alice had brought up the topic of the triplets’ father, Molly and the kids must have
felt awful. ‘No wonder she wants to distance me. She doesn’t just do it for the kids. She got my mother’s
message. Did she feel that she had bothered me?’
Sean let out a sigh as he thought of that. The dim lighting cast shadows under his eyelashes.
